i have a bachelors of science from a university rated tops for the field i chose. And still i have never made more than 20 an hour. Jobs i am qualified to do are being filled by imported workers. The industry when it seeks an educated person they choose one with experience doing the exact same thing but somewhere else. I honestly look at my past and think i was the biggest idiot. I should have become a cop. I should have become a carpenter or plumber. But these professions were for people who were not good at school. Thing is, i was very good at school, and even though i hated it, i PAID MONEY to do MORE SCHOOL. The school system is not made to get you a job but to just convince you to do more school. So my bachelors was essentially just the ticket to masters and phd but there was no way for me to continue. I was enraged by the fact that i was paying money to read articles and write reports. Not to any real job opportunities. I HATE THE EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM. THIS IS THE LAST YEAR I TRY TO USE MY DEGREE. AFTER THIS YEAR IM GOING FOR TRADES OR CDL OR STARTING A PAINTING CREW OR SOMETHING FUCK I AM TIRED.

Haha OP got Jewed xdxsxd
You chose the worng field and are too retarded to requalify, while keeping your chosen field as a resource or a hobby.
hahaa
yes i have been stupid but i hope that maybe if i display the stupidity someone might not do the same thing.
I have been stubborn and am going to "requalify" in the next year.
Better late than never.
Yeah rip OP all jokes aside hope it works out pall.
>bachelor of science
What science?
bull prepping
the kind where the bachelord soesnt mean shit
That sucks man, I’ve consistently been making $30/hr waiting tables for 6-7 hours a day 5 days a week for years now while learning trade skills in my free time. Sorry to hear you fell for the college scam, I’ve given those kikes about 6k now between welding and machining classes.
I recently became a law student, what am I in for, lads? I'd like to become a judge, seems like every other student wants to be a lawyer.
You have to be willing to lie, user. I graduated with a degree in accounting and gave meh interviews, so I never got a job offer or internship. I saw that a really good company had diversity quotas for autistic people, and I told the recruiter I’m autistic so that I wouldn’t be judged based on my interview and also benefit from the diversity hiring. I got the job and now make 65k at 23. FYI I’m not actually autistic
glory to god and thank you i know it will.
If i had done this right out of high school i would be so much better off. But that was for dumb people, and i was being told i was smart.
you chose the worst of the dentist doctor lawyer trio IMO but its still a great choice.
I have been honest to a fault. At my last job i found out how people were advertising themselves and realized it has nothing to do with their actual responsibilities or routine at work. For example a manager who telephones a contractor for consultation and quarterly review and planning takes credit for this and says "I am a (specialty) Specialist" .
I am willing to lie , and honestly i feel autistic. I am in my 30s and feel like the social world is new and im wayyy behind the game.
OH Tay Tay. How I want to make love to you!
Lying is wrong user, but their quotas are too.... still evil to lie though.
You can easily make more than $20 an hour without a degree in a modern job.
Well, I work in tech, so maybe this doesn't hold true for the field your degree in.
Prolly psychology or something completely useless.
If you're gonna do a degree, either go hard STEM or buisness. Everything else, with a few exceptions, is a massive waste of time.
Something is wrong with YOU. College is not a scam. Trades are objectivly worse. Yes the everybody should go to college is a boomer meme, but its based on reality.
Right now a college degree is worth more than it has at any other point in history. Immigrants are not taking your jobs. They are importing people to try to bring down the wages of college grads because they are so high right now.
t. labor economist
We can't accurate judge or help you unless you tell us what degree you have. If its something like psychology, you can just go kys right now. If its something like physics, you can easily use that to launch yourself into a career with a 6-figure salary. I think you can safely share your field without being doxxed user, but good on you for maintaining opsec.

>If you're gonna do a degree, either go hard STEM or buisness. Everything else, with a few exceptions, is a massive waste of time.
This sentiment is also untrue. Even if you get the most worthless degree possible like gender studies or underwaterbasket weaving, the return on education is still very positive.
While its obviously not as good as the return for stem degrees, it still is on average going to significantly increase your earnings over the rest of your life.
>STEM
laughable
should have got an engineering degree bro
Just don’t be a fucking retard and select a major that actually makes money and has projected job growth.
I dont want help. I just want people to know and i am doing a little bit of POL blogging.
Yes , and you have to go HARD. You cant just learn all the material and pass the tests. YOU HAVE TO SUCK UP AND NETWORK FROM THE START THE DEGREE IS NOT A TICKET TO THE PARTY THE TICKET IS BEING VOUCHED FOR BY SOMEONE ELSE>>
For any anons here thinking about college and education:
GO INTO INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY.
The work is cushy. Working from home is common (I'm doing it right now). The pay is really high considering how little work we do. There are lots of jobs available and the industry will only continue to grow. It's such an easy no-brainer, I don't know why everyone doesn't do it.

>Std. of living calc
>purchase power cal
not the same thing. Real wages with productivity growth is what you want. I dont give a shit that relative to 1960 I can now own a fucking washingmachine and dishwasher and that makes me a millionaire.
economist my ass
That is true and why I feel frustrated. My tunnel vision for years and years reinforced by fear and the fallacy of sunk costs lead me to ignore the opportunities and try to do a very specific thing.
Only the tards fell for the degree scam. Papers are to make it so rich people can hire you without getting to know you and know you can do the job without getting attached so they can lay you off at a moment's notice without feeling bad about it, they place you entirely at the mercy of rich people. If you have actual aptitude, move on, use your knowledge to CREATE something new, a gadget, a discovery, anything - science isn't and never has been done by groups of people, it's individuals who push it forward, if you lack the knack for it maybe change fields - your paper never meant anything other than a signature of spending half a decade or more drinking and being a manchild fucktoy for the elites when you should have been gaining real experience.
What do you think of the CCNA from CISCO?
Right before covid hit i got a job offer from an IT company. I was happy i know its a good field. COVID HIT AND THEY LOST THEIR CUSTOMERS!! so i lost that opportunity.
yes
true
well i am a tard in some ways but not in others.
I really want to save myself if i exist right now making the same mistakes i did before.
Brother, That is using real wages. Look at the chart again.
Apologies if I seem overly blunt on the matter - worthless degree-toting shitheads with no actual ability are notorious for making people honor "having a degree" - which makes getting experience early in a career difficult for the far more competent and motivated self-taught individuals - and they're pretty fucking haughty about it too, especially when their training was so worthless (e.g. lib arts, psych, etc "degrees") that they have nothing else to justify their position with aside from decrying others as worse. You get a chip on your shoulder in relation to them after awhile and it's tricky not to blackball anyone who applies for a position with a degree because of it.
I have a CCNA Routing and Switching. It's a hard exam, much more technical and difficult than the more entry-level CompTIA certs. CCNA is a great cert to have because Cisco is a huge brand and everyone has their products, plus its known to be a difficult cert so it actually carries weight. You can take the CCNA in two exams, or one big exam. I suggest the two exams, I actually failed the second exam the first time I took it, but passed on the second attempt. If you're new to the field, it would be good to start with CompTIA Network+ just to get the foundational knowledge because the CCNA classes will assume you already know TCP/IP, the OSI model, etc.
yes there was something wrong with me. I had a fundamental misunderstanding of the world around me.
Trades are good because you get paid for training, working , and then later when you get a clue about the world, you have something. A job, an income and savings.
Yes they are trying to bring down wages. In my industry though they are doing it from the bottom up. After a certain level it does not apply.
The organizers and true managers are on another level. The people trying to lower wages are not lowering their own.
>self-taught individuals
getting an engineering degrees requires you to self teach on top of learning the useless bullshit of the program.
