I have tended to find that the opposite is true; the reason that I am in
college now is that it was pretty close to impossible for me to get a
job that I wanted.  In many cases, I could only speculate who got the
job, but in a few cases, I lost out to someone who had just come out of
college with little to no experience or real working knowledge.  This
was frustrating to me.

I tolerate GnuCash at this point, and I certainly can't figure out SQL
Ledger.  There are lots of programs out there that fall short of what
they should, and others that go way overboard (like SQL Ledger, IMHO; I
can see that being useful for a mid- to large-sized business, but not
personal finance or even small business).  What's missing is the perfect
program.  Eventually, though, something will come out that is that
perfect, flexible program.
