the way things are now will only get worse and it's gonna be like this until after the gen x ers who have the experience AND college ed employers want retire and die, so buckle down for at least 50 more years of this shit. it doesnt matter if you go to school now, someone whos young fresh out of college with no work experience may as well be a pants shitting retard in the eyes of corporate. in fact, a pants shitting retard has a better chance of getting hired due to equal-op protections. the time to be pissed off about our unfair system is now. we're basically doomed to be a lost generation of manual laborers and minimum wage cuckolds.

A cursory Google search claims that fresh graduates make around $50,000 a year . Similar "studies" claim that even sociology majors are making something in the upper 40s.

How many are college graduates really making because most of the plebs I graduated with are either unemployed or hamburger engineers at this point.

I'm sorry you are an uncreative brainlet unable to recognize niches. I'll give you one hint kiddo. Successful business's are about solving problems. There are plenty of problems in society waiting to be solved. Oh you don't have startup money? There are businesses that already solved that problem. Make use of their services.

Any job where you're expected to "stay busy" without any sort of commission incentive is inherently dog shit, you try to squeeze as much extra work out of them as possible without additional compensation and they try to avoid it at all costs, that's the game friendo.

Based. University is useless, it’s only a tool used to siphon money out of naive kids and to get a good goy certificate so you have the possibility of getting an office job for Mr. Shecklestein. Good luck if you are white though. They only want women or coloured people. Maybe will only consider a white man if you have a degree in feminism or something else incredibly kiked like political science.
