I have a bachelor's and make a little over 15 dollars an hour. If you're not a lazy salarycuck 15/hrs can make a decent bit if you're willing to work a lot of OT.

My base salary is probably 31k, but I probably hit close to 38k. Unless you majored in Engineering or made REALLY GOOD connections, you probably aren't getting 60k right out of college

Then why does every Boomer hiring-manager you ever hear talking about the subject loudly complain about "how hard it is to find qualified people"?

It would be one thing if these people were laughing about how dime-a-dozen degree-holders expected better pay, but they're not. They're generally bitching and moaning about how 28-year-olds with narrow, job-specific degrees and 3-5+ years of experience aren't lining up out the door to fight over a chance to collect less than $40k in an entry-level position that deadends on promotion potential at a title like "team lead".

>Then why does every Boomer hiring-manager you ever hear talking about the subject loudly complain about "how hard it is to find qualified people"?

because they spend 12 years in high school and then go to university until they are twenty-five and never learn a useful skill besides sitting in a chair and being told what to think. You learned alot of crap, but you never learned how to apply your knowledge to new situations, such as job interviews.

I can take my jack of all trades knowledge and apply it practically anywhere to find a way to get what I want because I was tossed out of school and my home at 15 and had to figure shit out on my own.

I have no degree and make $57/hr. It helps to not be a retard and have good people skills.

you don't have to lie if you're clever enough. I once got a job as a deliveryman because when they asked me if I had had any traffic accidents in the last ten years, I said no.

And it was true, because in the ten years before I applied for that job, I hadn't even owned a car. Sure made the first few days interesting but I picked up driving again pretty easily.

This is a post about your own personal axe to grind over your shitty home life, not an answer/contribution to the discussion that's actually happening.

The average Boomer middle-manager I'm talking about isn't some grizzled businessman with a degree in hustle from the school of hard knocks, gritting his teeth while lazy kids act entitled to six figures for their shitty BS. The average Boomer middle manager went to college to get a BA in Philosophy, smoked pot the whole time, and walked out into a Corporate America eager to train young people. And then by the time they were 50, these same Boomers started acting baffled by the fact that more gosh-darned lazy millenials won't just grab their bootstraps, graduate cum laude with a degree in finance, and then find some *other* company to train them for 3-5 years before they would dare to apply to an entry-level analyst gig in Mr. Boomer's dead-end bean-counting department.

This is already the case. I'm one of two people at my job with a college degree who isn't in management. I can't tell the difference between some who only graduated high school and someone who dropped out of HS, but the difference someone who only dropped out of college and someone who never even went is pretty huge.

I don't feel smart at all, I just know that almost everyone I work with is an idiot.

>it doesn't mean that you should feel entitled to being a worthless retard with no job skills
Correct. But who ever even says anything suggesting that they feel such a way? Criticizing the obvious stupidity of the hiring/onboarding practices of Boomer managers doesn't suggest that anybody is entitled to anything, it's just common sense.

Boomers just have a really ironic way of calling anybody who questions their unrealistic expectations (you know, almost as if they feel they deserve certain things...) some version of "entitled". Don't fall for it.

>>16426700
I'm not going on twitter to blame employers. I'm blaming the cocksuckers like you who think the current is good just because it "werks for me".

And FYI, I have a certification test for my field in January. It's a completely unnecessary $200 test that basically only proves I went to college paid attention.

>>16426714
The retarded hiring and application process is literally the result of an extremely overwhelming demand for a scarce number of jobs. It's not like the hiring manager created these conditions.

This is a cop-out. What, are people not supposed to have public conversations about which ideas/practices in the culture at large are stupid or counterproductive?

Even if we have to wait until the Boomers die out for things to really start to be different, it'll still be helpful if some kind of public discourse has agreed by then that the Boomer aversion to training and developing personnel is retarded.

>>16426755
>I'm not going to blame some guy reading my application for throwing it in the trash when he has thousands of other desperate unemployed individuals who are more qualified than me waiting in line willing to suck my dick for a job

But they probably aren't all that much more qualified than you. Unless you're applying to be an aeronautical engineer or regional manager for some big brand, a lot of jobs are just hiring for basic bitch work that has to be learned on the job anyway. I'm not even talking about industry specific jobs either, I see a lot of this bullshit stuff like used car, insurance saleman, or even administrative positions.

>>16426742
cuz there was a recession and a lot of people lost jobs or their homes. But history is reasserting itself, especially in America where "history" is code for "massive labor shortages." Corporate America is going to have to find Jesus about training and a host of other ill-conceived policies, or a millennial workforce that was forced to learn how to survive without a salaried job is gonna just leave them to collapse.

>>16426742
>an extremely overwhelming demand for a scarce number of jobs.
Then why are these hiring managers constantly bitching about *not having enough* people they regard as "qualified" for their entry-level tier of work, raising a stink about "entitled" this and "inexperienced" that, instead of just enjoying their pick of the litter and calling it a day? It's true that a lot of people want these jobs, but these hiring managers manufacture their own scarcity anyway because they're Boomers who don't believe in training personnel, because they struggle to see farther than a quarter out into the future.

>If they're so unrealistic why have employers gotten away with these high expectations for the past decade?
They haven't gotten away with it. Again, they're constantly whining about how much trouble they have finding the people they think they want - they clearly know they're leaving money on the table by not onboarding people with potential, even if they just can't figure out why they're struggling to find seasoned professionals with extensive resumes who are just dying for a shot at a sub-$40k entry-level job.

>>16426776
Again, if a company doesn't have to waste resources training someone they won't. It really doesn't matter if you think it's unfair. There is not enough jobs for employers to not be absurdly discriminatory. If I was an employer, I would simply pick the lowest risk candidate.

>>16426787
>But they probably aren't all that much more qualified than you

Yeah but they can prove that they're qualified and you can't. From the perspective of a hiring manager, that's less of a risk.

>>16426811
I don't really know what you mean. If you're saying that the millennials are going to destroy a bunch of companies because they can't get hired, I mean I guess. But that isn't going to fix their problem. There will still be no demand for them unless there's a radical shift in economic policy, but the solutions presented by most of the radical millennial approved candidates are simply to punish the employers and to overqualify more worthless retards which at the end of the day won't fix anything for them.

>>16426322
Congratulations, you figured out why (((they))) have been pushing college for everyone for the past two generations. Dismantle the university system.

>>16426856
>There is not enough jobs for employers to not be absurdly discriminatory.
No, there are more than enough jobs. There just aren't enough people to fill them. In order to get qualified, you must gain experience/skills. To get experience, you need to get a job. To get skills, you need to pay for the skills or already have acquired them from a job. These things are hard to acquire if you don't already have a job.

> I would simply pick the lowest risk candidate.
This is why you won't make it

>>16426853
>Then why are these hiring managers constantly bitching about *not having enough* people they regard as "qualified" for their entry-level tier of work, raising a stink about "entitled" this and "inexperienced" that, instead of just enjoying their pick of the litter and calling it a day?

Because they can, that's why. They can insult and slave drive their employees because it's a buyer's market for labor. No amount of spiteful bitching will ever change this. And in a sense they might be right, because they do have to sift through a rash or overqualified applications from people that really only have the mental capacity to till soil or scoop donkey shit but the poor economic conditions and poor priorities of certain individuals has lead to serfs and peasants entering academia.

>They haven't gotten away with it. Again, they're constantly whining about how much trouble they have finding the people they think they want -

Clearly they have, because they continue to do it. I mean if it didn't work, the private sector wouldn't do it.

>>16426891
>No, there are more than enough jobs. There just aren't enough people to fill them.

If that were true, companies would literally be out in the street sucking you off ready to train you and offer you the world. But that just isn't true.

>This is why you won't make it

You're right man. If I was a hiring manager I should literally gamble on the fact that this recent college grad might be capable of doing the job and potentially having to waste time training them when I could easily hire some 35 year old with a decade of private sector experience and a lengthy portfolio of past work, you're correct. I wasn't aware that was a terrible strategy.

>>16426856
>It really doesn't matter if you think it's unfair.
Who said anything about fairness? Why do you keep reading that kind of thing into this conversation, when I've done nothing but give logical reasons why the self-imposed-scarcity that characterizes the hiring philosophy among Boomers is blatantly irrational and counter-productive?

Did some geriatric douchebag bite you and infect you with Boomer-brain or something? You're having hallucinations about THIS GOSH-DARNED ENTITLED LITT- etc. that don't actually match up to the conversation that's actually occurring in front of your eyes.

It's not irrational for them to stick with what they know. They aren't hiring you because they don't see the value in you. They see you as a bigger risk. That's the bottom line. Their excessively discriminatory application process is the result of the fact that they have their pick of the litter. the only way this will ever change is if we return to an economic golden era where employers suck their employees dick rather than vice versa because high paying jobs are abundant. We don't live in that era anymore. You either keep going and busting your ass or you fall to the wayside crying about boomers.

Alright. Serious question. Did you actually read *ANY* of the posts you keep pretending to reply to?

I (1) never talked about myself at all, and (2) have consistently advanced the proposition that these people are *wasting* their pick of the litter by imposing counterproductive restraints upon themselves instead of making the most of their position.

Like, at least have the decency to try to disagree with the actual idea you claim to oppose, instead of just floundering around at the starting line of the whole conversation like an idiot.

In fact, don't even do that. Just get the fuck back to studying. I don't care if it's "winter break", you clearly need the extra hours if you're going to pass the next semester, freshman.

>>16427064
Goddamn you're retarded. The statistics say that the economy is good and jobs are everywhere, but highly skilled people are lacking. To rectify this companies could hire employees and sponsor their training themselves. Instead they try to select from the same small pool of applicants, and are forced keep bumping salaries to astronomical levels to attract people lest the position go unfilled.


Offering a more modest salary along with training for an inexperienced worker is riskier but could prove more cost effective in the long run.

>>16427076
Studying what? What gives you the impression that I'm in college or even finished or even went to college in the first place? I really do suspect that you're the exact sort of worthless serf I described earlier, you really do have an extremely collegecentric view of everything. Your degree is worthless. It means nothing. It doesn't demonstrate experience or skill.

>>16427122

>>16427122
>Offering a more modest salary along with training for an inexperienced worker is riskier
And even that conclusion depends on what you do or do not choose to factor in as a "risk". Holding out for the biggest resume you can find? You're taking on more flight risk, you're risking excessive waste as you drag the process out, you're risking losing an *actual* stellar candidate if your standards are poorly calibrated, you're risking serious disruptions in projects while the position sits open *and* while decision-makers divert attention to an endless hiring process, you're risking onboarding an employee whose "experience" has amounted to a bunch of habits that don't mesh with your team and are harder to beat out of him than it would have been to just train a newer professional up to fit into your workflow...

>>16427234
Who said they have to hold out for a big resume? If you operate under the false assumption that high paying desirable job positions are not infact receiving high numbers of applicants, I guess the rest of your post is true. But when you have hundreds of applicants, all it takes is one resume with a half decade of experience to basically knock out a recent grad.

>>16427207
Yea wow, it's almost like there are hundreds of different skills with varying degrees of scarcity, and saying "get a skill" is the equivalent of telling someone to "get a job" in its vagueness.

I'm taking to a test to get my teaching certificate, and trying to use that as a springboard for an overseas teaching job where I can pick up a foreign language that would be sufficiently useful to the DoD for an analyst position once I get my PhD. I know of people my age with no more discernible skills or education than I have who got jobs that I wanted. The scarcity is fake, and they can hire whoever the fuck they want. Idc about what you say, but I'm doing what I gotta do to "get a skill".


You can take your deadbeat cocksucking ass somewhere else. The system is fucked and it would take an absolute boomer such as yourself to be complacent with how things currently work.

>>16427266
Why not pick up the foreign language now? Do you not see how ass backwards your priorities are? You're the exact sort of person I'm talking about, job first, skills later. You know, actually learning the language first would probably look really good on a resume if you're trying to get a job. And yes, "learn a skill" is vague and takes research. I'm sorry things aren't as easy and simple as you want them to be.

>>16427207
>Sorry if I confuse you with someone else but I'm getting so many mixed signals.
There are no mixed signals. Every single person is fundamentally in agreement about trying very hard to explain to you how (1) there are a shitload of empty positions and a shitload of educated and trained job-seekers, but (2) common practice among modern hiring managers, who are widely known to have a deep aversion to training personnel, is to simply leave positions sitting open in the hopes that a unicorn candidate will eventually come along.

You're just being a dumb asshole who refuses to process this kind of analysis without throwing a fit and coming up with excuses to cast emotional aspersions at people. Knock it off.

>>16426322
>Want a basic lesson in ecomonics? If supply goes up, demand goes down. If "everyone" has a degree, then I can pay the bare minimum to get an employee with a degree.


Want another basic lesson in economics? If everyone is getting a degree, than that means college should be getting cheaper as economy of scale takes over as more and more people flock to college campuses. We are told by (((someone))) to go to college and pay exorbitant rates for it, if we expect to get a decent job. Why did college get more expensive if more students than ever are enrolled?

>>16427284
>Why not pick up the foreign language now?


Because you don't actually know a foreign language until you have to speak it everyday to survive you stupid fuck. I've taken plenty of language classes and studied language on my own time you dumbass. None of it matters, until you are stuck in a foreign place trying to negotiate some chicken nuggets for yourself and can't fall on English to save you.

Well are they truly empty positions if they aren't hiring people are they? Clearly if these positions were so important to a companies operations they wouldn't just leave it empty, and yet they do, and they're in no rush to employ help or train help. You are being lied to. Those jobs aren't open positions. It's quite clear the company doesn't give a shit about it.

My dad has a TS clearance so I already know this. I still have to get qualified enough to get hired by an agency though. I'm basically just trying to take a similar path as a professor of mine who works in the defense industry did.

I'm not necessarily opposed to joining the military, but back when I wanted to join it was mainly because I didn't know how to manage my money. Now that I've become financially literate, I just don't see much reason to subject myself to a lifestyle that shitty.

>>16427322
You're taking a gamble. You are gambling that your degree will take you to somewhere. I mean if that works, fine, I guess there's jobs in demand.

>>16427386
>Lol this nigga believes he's going to get a job in China


China, Vietnam, Korea, Russia, Africa, the Middle East, even Japan. There are plenty of places to pick up a desirable foreign language for the DoD. And just because something is a common goal, doesn't invalid.


I also don't have a teaching degree which is why I have to take this stupid ass test in the first place.

>>16427392
Employer: Hmm says here on your application that you didn't join the military. We have a lot of applicants with military experience which we prefer. Why did you choose to go such an unorthodox path?

Employer: wow you're hired. Welcome aboard champ

>>16427392
Well, a PhD is probably a slam dunk but you're likely qualified to apply to multiple agencies already. Anyways, if you go the analyst route, enjoy locking your cellphone away and listening to grainy audio or reading thousands of pages of Mandarin OSINT in a windowless room for 12 hours a day.

Also what he said. I know one or two people who achieved similar goals to yours without military experience but I also know dozens more who chose the traditional route.

>But what I'm saying is that a Japanese university would much rather hire a candidate that already speaks Japanese to teach a college level English course rather than the guy with a teaching certificate.

They actually wouldn't because almost no Japs speak fluent English lmao. I have access to subscription only overseas teaching only job board, and knowing the native language is not a requirement for an overseas teaching job. The only requirement is 2 years teaching experience.

>You're taking a gamble. You are gambling that your degree will take you to somewhere.

>I know one or two people who achieved similar goals to yours without military experience but I also know dozens more who chose the traditional route.

I'm young enough to do either or. The military is obviously the most direct route, but I said it earlier in the thread that you have to gamble on them even giving you your desired MOS/Rating. People join the military out of desire to serve/desperation first, then career goals are a distant second because they aren't really guaranteed. The civilian path is longer, more expensive, and obtuse, but it seems like more of a sure thing.

Business is also about minimizing risk and offering up a skillset that consumers demand. If you have no skillset and get a job that's great but you should be more realistic instead of acting like a temporarily embarrassed boomer who can get by in life with no skills and nothing more than a college degree and US citizenship

This is what my boss did. He gave a female Chinese employee a raise of around $20,000 just so she could meet the income requirements for the Visa application as well. She now is getting paid about 1/3 more than people who were working here 4-5 times longer than her. She had to be "fired" from the job temporarily or something so she could reapply to the job or something, we are all not too clear on it. The point is, one guy found a paycheck envelope from a few weeks prior while she was "fired" and not at work, and we saw what she was making. She is just doing very simple BIM work, nothing advanced or innovative. The boss could easily find someone to do this work, but he would rather keep her on for whatever reason

Nigga, I just graduated 6 months ago. This is the problem with you high school dropouts, you think that if something doesn't pay off immediately then it's a waste. The pay off will look like an exponential curve. It gets better over time.

>>16426684
You pick your own MOS in the Army, just do that. You don't have to sign if they don't have the MOS you want, and you can keep checking back with your recruiter in hopes a position will open.

>>16427454
>Go to recruiter.
>Tell him you want to be 35M or whatever the MOS is.
>Sorry anon, there are no more slots for that MOS in FY2019. Can I interest you in being an 11B or 88M instead?
>No thank you.
>Walk away and come back next year.

If you are commissioning then yes, it is a gamble as to where you will branch but no matter what you will minimum get Secret and almost certainly get TS for free and relevant experience to boot.

>>16427465
Honestly the problem with you college grads is you literally expect that there's a job for you. Like you said, you only graduated 6 months ago, quite clearly don't even have any direction as to where you're going but then turn around and act like you are garaunteed and almost entitled some sort of desirable job position. I seriously doubt the kind of work you want to do isn't a highly competitive employment scene. Everybody wants to travel the world and go to an exotic place. I think it's really ballzy and maybe a bit retarded to expect that you shouldn't have to expend any effort learning a foreign language or two before you are employed so that you stand out among other applicants. And apparently military experience is also something a lot of the actual employed grads in your field use on their resumes and you brush that off as unimportant. I think you are legitimately going to hurt yourself if luck doesn't save you

No, you're the retard. In 4 years you could've been a journeyman tradie making 80-100k/year, but instead you're on your high horse making the same amount as the "high school dropouts" you talk shit on. The saddest part is that you are not only ok with it but you defend it like a retard.

Don't worry, another few years down the line you will be using your skills that are in demand while he will still be in a post-graduate program at 26 years old wondering why he can't keep up with any of his bills because he wanted to travel to cool and exotic places for a living like a retired baby boomer

Dude look, you're talking out of your ass so please stop. Have you ever been on the website to apply Intelligence Community jobs?

I'll tell you what they look like

>No Bachelor's
Don't even apply
>Bachelor's Degree
You need 3-5 years experience in Intelligence and a foreign language. Most of the time this comes from being an officer. You can get this by 30 if you're willing to risk getting shot and fuck up your back for life.
>Master's Degree
1-2 years experience and foreign language. You can get this by 30 if you happen to be Chinese or whatever language you want to learn, or by living in that country, but you're still not guaranteed a job in either government or academia
>Doctor of Philosophy
0 years experience required, but foreign language still required. You can get this but it might take until you are 35-40. You'll have some fun along the way though. If you do this, you'll also have an attractive option to work in academia in addition to working with three letter agencies.

I like academia, school, and the military, so I wanna do all three which is the PhD option.

Normies can have Facebook's and still get those jobs, so I don't see what is so bad about this place. I've also run into plenty anons who have clearances who post here.

>>16427563
Yikes bro that's all I can say. So your plan is go to school until your 40 under the pretense that the conditions you believe are in place will continue to exist after you've wasted three decades of your life in school and your up to your neck in potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars from post graduate programs so you can work as a fucking spook. Join the army, and learn a language now. I unironically believe that potentially risking getting shot at and doing Duolingo in your free time is a much better use of your time than your current trajectory. Goddamn dude I feel bad for you

>>16426499
checked and what do you do for a living anon?

It's actually a pretty good time for young and ambitious people to get into good jobs now and the next few years ahead as the Boomers are finally retiring en masse

No you stupid cunt. My plan is to work as a teacher for 2-4 years in America then work as a teacher overseas for 3-5 years. Then get a PhD in history ( 4-6 years).

Currently, that puts me on pace for getting my desired job between ages 33-39, aka the ages when a lot of officers are just leaving the military so the timeline might not be all that different in the long run.

>>16427642
Cope harder delusional faggot. You’ve been spoonfed by legit glowies in this thread to no avail. You are too fucking dumb to make it.

You have an extremely distinct syntax, if you work for me I will find a way to fire you.

>>16427669
Okay, go ahead. If my plan doesn't come to fruition I still can just move up the ladder at my current job because I work for a fortune 500 company, and already have relatively easy path to an entry level management position.

Unlike most cunts on /biz/, I don't wanna "make it" just so I can stop working. I plan on keeping my current job for as long possible while teaching to stack bread for grad school/investing then doing my "dream" job as my investments grow.

I'm getting pretty drunk desu. Don't know why I'm still ITT

Why do you talk like a nigger? What is it about their culture and vernacular that appeals to you? Genuinely curious.

I'm black. You understood exactly what I meant, so why don't you go ahead and explain what exactly about my use of urban slang in an informal context necessitated getting so apprehensive all of a sudden.

>>16427801
Plenty do. My roommate in college (he was black too) ran a business and my neighbor (age 25) who went to college runs a business. When you have a ton of debt though like most college grads, it can be hard get to the necessary capital and credit for a startup.

>>16427812
Because 99% of the people who post on 4chan and that I see irl that speak ebonics are white, and it has always blown my mind why white people would want to associate with urban "thug" culture. Honestly, if you really are black, I can't see why you would want to associate with the culture that is responsible for keeping your race on the bottom tier of society, when you yourself are clearly not a part of that culture. It's the same as me aspiring to be a trailer park redneck when I am not.
Keep in mind, people judge you by your mannerisms.

>>16427843
It's fun to be dumb sometimes and not having a stick up your ass at all times makes life a little bit more bearable. I have black and white friends, so I just don't stop being black just because I'm talking to white people on a Taiwanese knitting forum. Selective use of the N-word can be powerful/hilarious in IRL situations.


>Keep in mind, people judge you by your mannerisms.
Yea, and I'll politic when I need to politic. The honest truth is that black people are more fun to hang out with, but white people just have more money to do things so they have more diverse hobbies and habits.

If you tell people they can't say something, they are just going to want to do it so much more. IF anyone was truly interested in the banishment of the word nigger, you shouldn't attempt to make it forbidden, just the opposite, you should send it to the grave when people simply get bored of it. It's already kind of happening anyway.

Thank goodness I am at least beyond these pathetic childish games, but you should never forget basic human psychology.

That's how I feel about it too. I don't assume everyone using the N-word on 4chan is black, but I don't assume anyone's race here. We just call everyone niggers because we can. I don't even care when I hear "racist" jokes IRL, I'm just like fuck it keep grinding and making money. When you gotta work with someone everyday, their stupid comments don't seem as hurtful just like more of reflection of their background and education.
