You make it sound easy. Just toughen up right? Reading reddit and social media in general, shyt is big tough.

Even if they do get a job, they making $50k starting and that's not enough in today's economy with 40 racks over your head. Ain't no OT either, so you stuck trying to move up or job hop.
The same complaining exaggerating young ass social media that we all know about? Check with them in ten years. They’ll have a job with benefits. If they make 50K they lost ambition and stopped looking and got comfortable.

We do not have the infrastructure to make this anything close to a reality and you still need robotics engineers and skilled software engineers. This is a lie full stop to placate the masses who are starting to smell bullshyt.
Nonsense.

Just study hard. Work hard. Be ambitious. With a History degree you too can make $50k:troll:

Is manufacturing the right way? I don't know. But if they're paying $70k - $80k with no need to go into debt, it's a win.

have you considered that salaries have not kept up with the cost of living?

have you considered the quality of life?

less educated people and disappearing safety nets is going to increase crime. exponentially.

that means, safe neighborhoods, neighborhoods that have the resources to keep themselves safe, are going to go for a premium.

you think a factory worker is going to be able to afford such a neighborhood?
white collar professionals will have a monopoly on those communities.

crime-ridden neighborhoods will lead to disinvestment in schools.

the wealthy folks will have their kids in expensive private schools.

white collar professional will secure VOUCHERS to send their kids to those schools.

factory workers are not going to be able to afford private schools, will neither be able to secure vouchers at the rate that white collar professionals will, and in the case that they do, most of their children will not be able to TEST into the these private schools, because academically their children will be behind the curve due to the disinvested state of public education.

They are literally digging a grave for you but because some money is being flashed, yall think it's a win.

its over.

the only choices we got is rebellion or leave the country.

and if y'all can't see that, y'all will prove kanye right.

slavery will be a choice.

As much as y'all shout bootstraps, I am not trying to hear this. :comeon::mjlol:


It depends on the degree, it's not hard to understand. Someone with a degree in Nursing will find a job much easier than someone with a Degree in History. And the later will make more money and have a much higher ceiling. All the proof is in the numbers.

There's a lot of college graduates out there struggling to find a job, and some of the ones that do are making $45k.
I agree it's all about the degree, but also the levels of it as well.

Right now, my wife's position struggling to find therapists to take on autistic teens. Then you also got to factor in the places that are so spread out that actually have gigs.

Many moons ago, you were able to go down the street within 10 to 30 minutes to get to a gig, now you got to make greyhound moves because the position that's paying is in buttass South Carolina, while the city limit gigs are packed with folks on the same time.

This is such a damn mess breh.
