Carpet installer, barista, delivery driver, server at a gastro-pub, gig musician?... These are entry-level jobs, not careers, and entry level jobs come with low pay and less job security. Before the pandemic, we had record low unemployment, there were CAREER employment opportunities available for those wanting them, not just jobs.<br /><br />I think that is where the generational difference exists. Previous generations prioritized obtaining stable careers as soon as possible, no "gap" years or treading water until the rest of the world realizes how special your talents are. Whether it be college and white collar opportunities, trade school or mentorship and solid opportunities in the trades, previous generations priortized these paths. Many of today's younger entrants to job market don't avail themselves of these options that are still plentiful, wanting a more "fulfilling" existence. It's a valid choice, but you can't bitch about the instability and risk that comes with it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-12492747756574815692020-04-08T14:08:02.861-05:002020-04-08T14:08:02.861-05:00dave ramsey's approach is common sense and you...dave ramsey's approach is common sense and young people need to try it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-56181322198833003122020-04-08T13:25:19.311-05:002020-04-08T13:25:19.311-05:00"Maybe they should have got a degree in compu..."Maybe they should have got a degree in computer science and software development instead of oceanography, because there are so many jobs in that field in Missouri."<br /><br />And yet you think they want to stay in Missouri?

If you'd ever been to college, you'd realize sometimes it takes a while to find a job. I graduated fifty years ago and worked at a 7-11. No, it didn't require a degree, but it was a job that paid the bills until I had a career.<br /><br />Instead of being such a fuckwad, you should be admiring these kids for taking what they can get until they get what they want. <br /><br />You may now return to Fox News and your next between meals beer.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10849017.post-79037258989734399192020-04-08T11:42:31.524-05:002020-04-08T11:42:31.524-05:00A common theme among most of these stories is choi...A common theme among most of these stories is choices. <br />- choosing to take on student debt but not getting a degree/job to pay for it. <br />- choosing to live in Hawaii without a job/skills to pay for the lifestyle<br />- choosing to a job that's easy with no growth prospects (i.e. coffee shops didn't pay well 70 years ago and they don't pay well today). <br /><br />The new twist is the expectation that a college degree is a golden ticket (you've always had to do well in school, take advantage of opportunities, and make sacrifices to make an education work for you)<br /><br />The new twist is the expectation that everyone should be able to live the perfect life in Hawaii, delivering some food a couple of hours every day and laying on the beach, without having financial struggles<br /><br />The new twist is the expectation that working at a coffee shop should come along with financial independence. It's an entry level job (always has been) with few required skills and limited prospects. <br /><br />Yes - COVID-19 has hurt a lot of people. Yes - some help from government is necessary (they're the ones telling everyone to stay home and close shop). What hasn't changed is personal responsibility and taking ownership for decisions that might make life harder for us than others that made better decisions.

I didn't know carpet selling required a college degree. Credit maxed out and not a real damn thing to show for any of it. DoorDash jobs are held by those who want to claim low wages to be able to get all kinds of freebies and handouts. The delivery part isn't want pays it the tips you get which are cash and never claimed as income.
