'Generation Stuck' on NPR disappreciation[views:29442][posts:134]___________________________________ [Dec 4,2012 8:53am - trioxin245 ""] This segment has really been getting on my nerves lately. Why do we need a public outlet for over privelidged 20-somethings to complain about how bad they have it? All it was today was some kid who graudated from Tufts whining 'woe is me I have to wait tables, life is so hard and unfair. I wanted to be a journalist and see the world, but now I have to work almost 40 hours a week just to have money for food.' Yea you and EVERYONE ELSE pal. He even likened his situation to living in New Delhi. Fuck off white America. Also, yes, I am aware of the irony of me publically complaining about public complaining. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 4,2012 9:00am - anonymous ""] yea more people should be like alx and have a multiple degrees and the money to afford fancy cheeses and beers and a 2 week european vacation. maybe everyone else needs to get a life. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 4,2012 9:02am - the_reverend ""] or more like get a degree that gets you money or don't go to school. The world needs skilled labor and you don't have to have $50K in debt to be a waiter. idiots. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 4,2012 9:04am - KEVORD ""] Go to trade school. Some of the wealthiest guys I know are plumbers and HVAC workers. People are always gonna have to shit and be warm. |
| ______________________________________ [Dec 4,2012 9:10am - Trade school ""] A lawyer hired a plumber. The plumber charged 400 for20min of work. The lawyer says "that's what I charge!" Plumber says "yea that's what I charged too when I was an attorney. " More skilled labour less whining |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 4,2012 9:16am - generational troll ""] its not hard to get a job and pay bills and buy stuff. money isnt hard to get. you fags need to stop playing WoW and using fake money on the internet and actually go out and do real stuff and use real money |

The world needs skilled labor and you don't have to have $50K in debt to be a waiter. idiots. This - college is a hell of a racket if you're not going into STEM, law, medicine or academia...and sometimes even if you are going into a STEM field. IT is blue collar work in a way, yet demanding a Master's degree on top of a current MCSE was way too common when I was last seriously job-hunting. I'm in a field where working experience functionally counts for 10x more than any of that (network admin, no degrees beyond HS), so why demand a master's in CS for someone who won't be programming on the job beyond shell scripts? |

| _________________________________________ [Dec 4,2012 9:52am - largefreakatzero ""] This country is in decline. This is only the tip of the iceberg. College is an unsustainable entity that is unaffordable except for the very wealthy (or those who are willing to carry student loan debts for eternity). And, yes it is useless except for a narrow selection of fields. Trade school is a good option for the short term, except that I think those jobs will also go away in the next 20 years. Yeah, everyone needs to shit and be warm, but that will end when nobody has a pot to piss in or a window to throw it out of. |
| ____________________________________________ [Dec 4,2012 9:54am - ancient master nli ""] just go to a Norwegian university to get your degree, its free |
| __________________________________________ [Dec 4,2012 10:00am - largefreakatzero ""] I already have a useless degree. I graduated a looong time ago. |
| _____________________________________ [Dec 4,2012 10:04am - DYA is MEH ""] 1. Go to school for 2 years 2. Get degree 3. "I see here you haven't worked in a while, that's going to be a problem for this client." 4. ??? 5. No profit!!! As an added bonus, minimum wage jobs see IT experience and a degree and won't hire you 'cause they're afraid you're gonna bolt for a better job. I couldn't get a call back from a friggin' sandwich shop. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 4,2012 4:41pm - barren ark ""] point exactly ross and tully. i heard a girl on the program on monday that was complaining that she was bartending a few years in queens and had to move back into her parent's house to find a "real job" because 1) her parents don't approve of her being a bartender and 2) they still live in a 1950's bubble. so she has a belief that 100% percent of americans 20 years ago would all have the best education and find the best jobs and buy 2 cars and a house and all that. she had some bad luck not finding a "career" after a string of interviews without realizing that in the other 99% of this planet, people will bartend their whole lives and do the best they can at what they do and don't bitch or feel like they need a "career" to feel better about their lives. the part that pissed me off the most was all the 20 somethings that were around "hanging out" and asking "is this my life?" YES, IT IS, AND IT'S NOT THAT FUCKING BAD. YOU'RE "GOING NOWHERE" BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO. WHAT DO YOU DO OTHER THAN SIT AROUND AND WISH YOU HAD A FUCKING OFFICE JOB. |

How in any way was I mindlessly bragging or putting anyone down? |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 4,2012 4:54pm - barren ark ""] i don't think it has anything to do with a perceived "decline of this country" but rather the fact that education in america is a market and not a service -- a market that everyone is brainwashed to buy into, and then realize that employers aren't looking for "everyone". so you have a bunch of people who are supposedly "over-educated" when really they have no clue how to be self-sufficient and are spoiled with modern expectations..or something like that. |

| _______________________________ [Dec 5,2012 9:12am - xmikex ""] lol @ "I have to wait tables." I went to this networking event at BU a year or so ago to talk to a guy about a job. A handful of journalism students found out that I had already worked in the field and started sucking up asking me questions about how to be successful (lol I was an intern lobbying for a part time job). I told them the only secret is to get off your ass, be willing to work for free, be willing to work long hours, all the time, be committed to always learning something new, and make a name for yourself by being the guy who'll do shit no one else wants to do. They all made sad faces and said that it sounded terrible. I said some socially acceptable version of "life is pain, n00bz fuk off" and walked out of there with a cool ass job while they were feeling sorry for themselves. Anyways, g2g. Gonna drink some coffee because I worked a 14 hour day between 2 jobs yesterday and I'm gonna work on a certification that my employer is paying for in my downtime. Poke me on facetime if any cool traveling journalist jobs open up. |

This is basically it, regardless of whatever you want to be successful in. If you're not willing to bust ass, someone else will. I don't have a very cool job, but I've made some decent money over the past 16 years doing what I do. I sell printing and fulfillment services by the way -- it's not very glamorous, as I basically sell dots and eat shit. |

They feel empowered and entitled to everything because their mamas never slapped the shit out of them, their daddy's never took a belt to their ass, and they never worked on a farm making $3.50 per hour to run cows back and forth from the milk house and load hay bails into the upper section of a stall...only to make enough money to help your parents buy dried milk (which was used to pour over toast with a little bit of sugar, which made your breakfast...."milktoast" for those of you who are unaware). This is why Obama is the scourge of this once great Country. No reward for hard work anymore. It's OK by me...well see who the survivors are in the long run. ...And these kids wonder why I'm such a jaded asshole..... |
| ______________________________ [Dec 5,2012 9:41am - Hoser ""] And this thought process leads to the filth that vote for assholes like Obama. Not a fucking one of them can sustain themselves through a storm. The electricity goes out...they call and threaten Con Edison. Then all you hear is...."where da govunment at? where dey at!?", "we needs help heyah and dey ain't doin' shit!" It's like NOLA all over again...if you do not have the will to stand up and fight for your own survival without the help of a Gov't that allows you to freeload when there are good, hard-working men and women paying their bills and taxes on time.....well, you're weak and don't deserve an ounce of charity. Only the strong survive. Now go ahead and counter my 2-cents with stupid comments like "'murca, fuck yeah"...and all of that other Liberal puke drivel that gets spewed around here. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 5,2012 10:57am - Alx_Casket ""] I started working odd jobs when I was 8 and haven't stopped for more than a few months in between jobs since. I get bored if I sit around for too long and have a tough time making it through a movie. When my friends were out competing over fast food/retail jobs in high school, I was wiping old people's assholes in a nursing home and making $12/hr. I realized that healthcare was a rewarding field with a fairly stable pathway and that's how I chose the field to work in. Worked my way through high school, college, and grad school and I'm very grateful for all the opportunities that I damn-well earned. If I had been encouraged to pursue my interests in engineering/design, I would probably be building robots now. If money grew on trees, I'd be draining my creativity every day. Unfortunately, there's no safe future in music or art, so I didn't buy an education in one of those fields. Between work and music/personal life, I feel like I lead separate existences. It keeps life interesting and balanced. I think a lot of people (not just the "kids these days") aim to lead a single existence that's satisfying and fulfilling to them, and it's becoming exceedingly harder to find that anymore. There was some talk earlier in this thread about being thankful that we have it better than some 3rd world country inhabitant, and while I agree with that in general, one should expect a higher quality of life living in a developed country. The dream of growing up to be whatever you want to be is pretty weak right now, and that's ok. There are no more applications to be astronauts in NASA these days. |

The number of capable, interested people who have been talked out of pursuing science careers is ridiculous. People told me throughout my childhood and early 20s that I shouldn't chase a job in tech ("You'll work twice as hard for half the recognition," which is not totally untrue), it's only due to real love of the work and an oppositional-defiant streak that I'm here at all. But it's not just a gender thing, plenty of people have backed away slowly from STEM jobs after being told over and over again that it's not something that could possibly be enjoyable or that it isn't going to have a career track for them |

F. K. Fisher (1908–1992) called milk toast a "warm, mild, soothing thing, full of innocent strength", and wrote, of eating milk toast in a famed restaurant with a convalescent friend, that the food was "a small modern miracle of gastronomy". She notes that even her homeliest kitchen manuals do not list it under Feeding The Sick or Invalid Receipts, arguing that milk toast was "an instinctive palliative, something like boiled water".[1] Fisher also notes that for true comfort, a ritual may be necessary, and for Milk Toast people, the dish used may be foolishly important. Her favorite version of milk toast has the milk mixed 50/50 with Campbell's condensed cream of tomato soup in a wide-lipped pitcher called a boccalino in Italian Switzerland where she got it.[2] Milk toast's soft blandness served as inspiration for the name of the timid and ineffectual comic strip character Caspar Milquetoast, drawn by H. T. Webster from 1924 to 1952.[7] Thus, the term "milquetoast" entered the language as the label for a timid, shrinking, apologetic person. It also goes down great with dadcock. |
