>entry level jobs for college grads
flipping burgers?

It doesn't pay for college they raised the price.

Yes. If I keep hearing lowlifes complaining about making $15 an hour I'm gonna go Falling Down.

>burger flipping jobs now pay more than entry level jobs for college grads

not true, but warehouse jobs do. so do many unskilled labor jobs.

>work in machine shop
>make $24/hr
>can walk down the road and get $18 at Sheetz
I'm half tempted to do it. At least they get air conditioning.

Well they require more skill than most college grad jobs.

>>49794927
college is a waste of time lmao

in washington, most fast food places have starting wages at 17+/hr

no, because it's not true outside of your retard boomer Facebook group

>get $18 at Sheetz
all the gas stations that were hiring around me at $16 or better to start got staffed in 2 seconds after putting up signage. honestly if you're in transition or don't have much to pay for it's not all that bad. you just have to press a few register keys and microwave breakfast sandwiches.

>hire a normal dude who couldnt afford college so is just looking for his first job, will work hard as is from a working class background

OR

rent free in your head
no wonder nobody wanted to hire you

...and you think most college grads are starting below $34k/year?

In 2018, I started a newspaper editor job that paid $0.25/hr more than the Wendys next door.

Today, I make $40/hr.

and if you actually go outside, you'll realize half the people with blue hair are hillbilly-adjacent retards and college grads still get their dick sucked for having completed 4 years of partying. ask me how I know.

>Anyone else notice that burger flipping jobs now pay more than entry level jobs for college grads?
I noticed that 7 years ago when i graduated that they were paying as well and I'm honestly not surprised at all. there isn't a single BS or BA that isn't more valuable to an employer than a high school diploma - and now they outnumber the high school diploma so supply and demand being the way it is says surplus, pay lower price.

lol, I quit journalism and I make more working with my hands. i enjoy writing and editing but it's not sustainable if I wanna be a land and horseowner. what do you do, anon?

>>49795446
I left the editor gig after 4 months, worked a content farm for 2 years. Now I’m a content manager. I do the SEO and analytics work, outline articles, and then have them written by freelancers.

>>49794927
I got my first post college job last week. It's $39/hr. Burger flipping only pays 15 here. It's not worth it.

>>49795507
sounds interesting. the summer heat makes me wanna quit my job, but outside of that I actually love it. content manager sounds kinda up my alley though, I was on the other end of that a lot with freelancing and being a good stream of pitches.

>>49794927
it's intended
they forced the college meme on everyone to drive down wages for skilled labour

I make $23 an hour casually working at amazon

>>49795388
Yeah thats about right, maybe a little higher on average, unless you chose a worthwhile STEM degree

>>49795388
Statistically they're starting around $35-50k depending on major and location.
Hell my first job as a BSME with a 3.9 GPA and a EIT license was for $55k salary and required mandatory 80 hour weeks every week.
So my hourly rate equated to roughly $13/hr as a mechanical engineer that was fortunate enough to graduate just as the covid shutdowns happened.
I quit in my first month and went for my masters but in hindsight I realistically should have just flipped burgers.
Fast food in my city starts around $17-20/hr, warehouse work starts at $25-30/hr
The panda express near me has signs for GMs where the only requirement is 3-5 years work experience in food industry and they're offering $80k
Fresh high school grads fit that description and make more than college grads.

>have a BA and 4 years of writing/copy writing experience
>jobs pay $55-60k a year
>have to deal with all the corporate bullshit surrounding it

>>49794927

Why do you stay there?

The thing is if you get a bad store your life will be fucking miserable. The clientele will make or break your job.

Never work at a place that ANY brown people frequent. For obvious reasons.

unless you got something with tech ur basically fucked

In college grad jobs you are getting paid through your regular wages AND through experience that can be leveraged towards getting a better job in the future. Businesses have noticed this and thus are discounting on the wages.
Dead-end jobs, though, by definition, will get you nowhere.

Went to a low tier state school in cali zero debt chem degree, make 27/hr easy pissy job. Companies Literally eat up stem grads here in cali.

>>49794927
Yeah. Crypto bros are negotiating up the price as they enter the market.

>>49795256
And I guarantee you that the average fast food worker only works 20 hours a week and during winter when it's slow they get their hours cut down to 10-15 a week.

>bragging about 27/hour
literal poverty wages

>>49794927
Everyone wants cozy office jobs.

No one wants embarrassing fast food jobs.

Basic supply vs demand. Little supply for fast food work = price of wages goes up.

>>49795388
yes, most college grads get scam degrees that qualify them for shit
