uh…you can’t do anything and you know fuck all after 4 years of college.
This meme is me but thinking I had job security for working somewhere for over twenty years. Now I’m laid off for almost a year and this job market sucks with only niche it support experience. Moving to trades isn’t feasible at my age and I’ve no idea what the future holds with AI in the tech industry ands knowledge/office jobs in general.
I made the same discovery in 1976 lol.
It is so bad people are turning to club penguin
Highly recommend trades. Plumbing, electrician, heck, friends friend is an elevator maintenance/repair something and their company has more work than they can keep up with.
Anytime myself or any family member needs an electrician or plumber, they’re backed up for days or weeks or months.
That only works while there is a shortage. If everyone and their dog goes into the trades there will be a surplus of workers leading to low wages and higher unemployment
Apparently it’s working right now tho.
Is it tho? From what I heard trade schools are hard to get into and eployeers are looking for at least several years of experience
Depends on what trade, where you are, where you look, etc. Schools you pay for are eagerly accepting new students (/customers), and being hard to get into doesn’t mean impossible.
I feel like this is the biggest thing everyone overlooks. Doctors, lawyers, and engineers used to be the biggest paying jobs for boomers and going into genX, so later genX and millennial that followed the blueprint of “if you want to make a lot of money, go I to these fields” found out the hard was how the prisoner’s dilemma is more than game theory. Now we have millenial doctors, lawyers, and engineers getting jobs that pay 60k with over 100k of student loans that they were told would be easy to pay back with their high paying jobs.
The trades have a good chance of doing the same thing. Right now you can make bank in the trades with no college debt. Just wait until we feed this to an entire generation and we have an excess of them and they are the ones making 60k (but at least no student loans? Normally…) and then they will tell their kids some variation of what they were told and repeat the same cycle.
I agree. To be fair, it’s more phisically demanding, so people tend to have shorter careers, but hopefully by the time you are 50 you can be a supervisor or move to an office job.
The money you make is decent to great, and you can work for yourself relatively early (ever dreamed of owning the means of production?).
Heather Trott from EastEnders. That sparked some weird nostalgia.
Never even liked EastEnders.
Didn’t she guest star on IT Crowd?
Graduated with a biochemistry degree. Got rejected from everywhere I applied including, of all things, Taco Bell. Eventually took up the Queen’s shilling
i know multiple people personally (4 atm) with some variation of a 4 year bio degree from a respectable program
none of them work in their field
most one was making was like 35k a year in a lab with a directly relevant degree, quit after 6 months
Guess what! You’ll get an even worse job if you don’t have a college degree!
Don’t need a degree to be the oxygen generator fixer in the post apocolyptic hellscape (HVAC tech)
sometimes you can’t even get a shitty job
Even those become hard to find in this economy…
The Big Beautiful Depression is just on the horizon! Courtesy of the Epstein Class!
Just wait until the recession hits
Think we’re already there lol
Not really as it is liable to get much worse
At some point wall street is going to realize that spending billions to make millions doesn’t make sense.
Hense going from Recession to Depression
Those universities should be sued for decieving kids into lifelong debt slavery on false promises of employment with their degrees.
Me after an easy ass interview for a job that requires no degree, but get rejected anyways !!!
I’m honestly glad I had “low” aspirations going into college. My goal was always to be a teacher so I never expected good pay and therefore can’t be dissapointed.
Too true
A college degree is the minimum requirement. You don’t get shit with the minimum.
Yep, experience is what employers are looking for. It’s best for college students to work alongside getting a degree if they have the time and resources to do so, even if it’s a work study or internship.
so what you do is research what jobs are needed in your area and do a degree in that
you have to keep up on this sadly all 4 years
and even then you need to be willing to move and should probably take a generally applicable field like engineering
all of this really requires some kind of support group at the age of 17/18
so just be born rich
beyond that you have to actually focus on learning the material at the oversped rate likely to the exclusion of anything remotely fun
that said there are multiple job openings for system engineers starting post 4 year degree about 100k
Where!?? No experience but a engineering degree seems just as hopeless as the rest

supposedly cali but col makes me doubt it’s worth it
