If I could give advice to a young person. I would tell them to looking into getting a techical degree from a cheap junior college for starters and getting some blue collar experience before they decide what they want to do. College, even at current prices, can be worth the price, but only with an idea if what you want to do with it. Not as High School part two.
I cannot tell you the number of phlebotomist resumes I get.
Fuckin' A.
No doubt. There are so many ways to go about it.
The real scam is that you can't go to law school without a worthless four year degree first. I learned literally nothing in college that prepared me for law school. I probably had a better work ethic coming out of high school.
One word definition. Entitled.. it's really sad how that has replaced discipline and responsibility. Sounds like most everyone is in agreement about this.
College through tour in the military may sound good, but it only works for a handful of people qualified to serve. GI Bill is a hell of a benefit, but an enlistment is a long a winding path to get there. Unless someone was very very aware of how much it could fuck up their life, I would never advise them to join the military.
This isn't a generational issue. There are a lot of older workers that refuse to retrain in a new job. Old ass men who think they've paid their dues can be entitled as fuck.
This is what I basically did. I self-educated. And, I'm doing okay for myself. Degrees aren't necessary, but if you don't get one you have to work your ass off to get ahead. That's the commitment that most kids don't have today.
I was commenting on boozes quote. What were you commenting about?
I could absolutely get down with this.
But, at least the old ass men have done something, anything, to at least even partially justify their entitlement. To be self-entitled when you have done jack nor shit to earn it is what I'm talking about.
I think he was just taking a shot at me.
There were a huge number of students at my college that simply didn't belong there. Either not smart enough to be there, or didn't have any interest in taking it seriously.
Nope, personal experience. As far as I know you've had three careers. So it seems to me you're a pretty adaptive person. I'm talking about laborers who at some point had a blue collar job (usually in manufacturing) trying to find work elsewhere. Quite a few older (gen X) men and women joined the military after the 2008 recession. They were way worse at taking orders than the young folks who had gone to the military just out of school. Admittedly some of the best fucking people I knew were from that older demographic as well, but that's the point, entitlement can affect anyone and be overcome by anyone.
Yes. I'm so sick of our government being half assed because half of our voting population don't take enough of an interest to understand good regulation from bad regulation. This isn't black and white you can't run a gov't on the principal that regulations are bad. Because if a government isn't willing to regulate the private sector, the private sector will become a proxy government. Just like they did during the industrial revolution.
