My boomer parents told me to get a job part-time where my dad used to work (minimum wage), my brother followed his advice.
I told my parents I already had something to pursue and a job would only prevent the potential, caused alot of issues in my teens.

I made my own business, over 200k in my early 20's and business is still growing (online stuff). Paid off some of their mortgages too, ironic.

My brother, who didn't stand for himself is now working minimum wage in mask land/hell. *Just get a real job, it pays off*

He always has less than 500 to spare, he is my older brother too.

When listening to boomers money advice it is prudent to know how they got their wealth, and if they have any. Not all boomers are dumb, its the same in all generations, wages will always teach wage things to their children. Which is usually why they also become wagies.

1950 - 1980 america was a post-war fluke, an industrial powerhouse left standing in the wake of post-ww2 destruction. you could be at the threshold of mental retardation and still have a remarkable life (relative to today) just by showing up to work every day at a factory. that job would pay for a respectable middle class home, a car, college for your children, etc.

Going to college was the respectable thing to do when they were growing up and would automatically lead on to far greater job opportunities for them.

All Boomer advice is bad. It is literally impossible to be a Boomer and not be a multimillionaire. They lived in an era where you could buy a house, a car, and pay for college, with a part time job.

You could have worked at McDonalds from the 70s till now and invested 15% of your income and you'd have millions right now. They lived in an era where fucking bonds were paying 5%+. You could get better rates with bonds back then than you can with stocks right now.

It is what it is, I just would never tell someone to go to college just to get a meme degree because it means nothing in reality.
I tell young people to think about what they hate and avoid jobs that involve that and try to look at jobs with the highest incomes and work your way down until you see some things that would be good fits. Talk to people, watch YouTube videos, google “day in the life of _”

This meme-tier boom-bust bullshit where 5 years ago tech jobs were the best and now we're getting skullfucked by pajeets is not something that exists in a world without mass immigration to drive down wages in every fucking halfway decent industry and faggots like you are the reason why nothing ever gets better because you play goalie for anyone trying to score on corporate oligarchs.

have you considered not being uneducated retards and geting into a quality university? all of your issues with university aren't issues with university, they're issues you brought upon yourself because you were too much of a failure/stupid/loser to put in the b a r e m i n i m u m effort in secondary education and get accepted to a top 20 university. elite private schools are often cheaper to attend than in state schools unless your family makes >250k (i went to one on a fullride and my family made 75k), never have any issues getting employed, worked with world class educators with world class infrastructure in a university that i guarantee you all know the name of. hell, you don't even have to study stem to get employed from there. all the broads who studied "useless" degrees like english lit and ethnic studies or whatever end up making bank just because of that sweet, sweet branding. if you go to some bumfuck 95%+ acceptance rate school and end up in debt struggling to get a job, it's not "college" that failed you, it's your own incompetence.

See this is how I KNOW you didnt go to such a university. No no, it's not scholarships. Scholarships are for people who DONT get into top universities. My university gave me a bill with a sticker price of 80k when I was accepted. After taking from the financial aid fund, my final bill was about 5k per year (including room and board, nobody at my school lives off campus as its too expensive).

Don't believe me? Go google, for example, Harvard financial aid calculator. Put in your financial information. If you make less than 200k and you have to pay >20k a year according to the calculator i'll eat my own ass. "Scholarships" implies it's merit aid, which these schools don't do. They are multi billion dollar institutions. They give you "need" aid.

"Private schools" ARE for elites and fools if you're not going to a top 10-20 one. I would NEVER advocate for somebody to go drop 60k a year and attend some shitty liberal arts college in bumfuck nowhere. However, the prospect of staying at home to attend a local state college, in which you would pay MORE to attend than a private school unless you were loaded (you weren't paid for your stipend during undergraduate), while not getting to enjoy any of college as well is pretty disgusting desu. Getting paid a stipend also isn't rare for graduate programs at all, of which going to an elite school makes it quit a bit easier to get accepted into. I don't care if you are "published in top-tier journals" as like 12th author or something, you will *never* get a faculty position or make it in academia attending "a low tier state school" for your undergrad and graduate. If you're not "making it in academia', then your PhD was a waste and you managed to spend 6+ years of your life doing research you probably loved just to end up getting the same starting salary as one of the roasties in my graduating class who interned at google once sophomore year. Cope.

the educational standards have risen over the past decade or two. the "economy" isn't broken, it's the way the world has changed. Manufacturing goes to the slaves in third world countries and anything that isn't slave labor requires a degree. as everything requires a degree, a degree becomes undervalued. Not all degrees were created equal. Some degrees are worth much, much more than other degrees. It is your responsibility to make sure your degree is actually worth something. The world is how it is.

We aren't on the same team. Here's another piece of advice the boomers raised their kids with that turned out to be shit- "everyone is a winner". It means that older zoomers/millennials ended up with a pussy mentality of letting everyone else have a turn. This means that those foreigners/kids raised by bastards will always grab 90% of what's available, leaving 10% for everyone else.

See the dude arguing you needed to be a quantum genius at 15 projecting market trends for 20 years while pretending to be a jew to get into Yale and find the best frat with the best rich connections to become a 1%er? Dude was clearly born rich to think it's as easy as "get into a 1% school". We aren't on the same team, he's always going to give people shitty rich people advice the same way boomers will give people shitty old people advice.

Looking out for number 1 means being the sleazy insurance agent who rips off elderly people or the engineer who uses chinese cement to get the job done under cost so your pay is high and then flee to a third world country to lie low for a few years using africans as slave labor.

Literally no one succeeds by being nice and on the level. You have a month of programming experience? Change that to 3 years and claim to be a native American hybrid on your resume and they'll have to hire you- HR doesn't know.

I had printed fliers, stuck them all around the neighborhood, and actually managed to get a single gig doing it helping an old lady with her Intel Atom laptop. When my dad caught wind of what I was doing he got mad, telling me that I need to stop, find a job with benefits, and that I need to stop because "WHAT IF SOMEBODY ACCUSES YOU OF WRECKING THEIR PC?" I never really got more calls from anybody and I was discouraged to keep doing it and earned back into a NEET for a few years... then afterwards I have NEVER told my dad about work or investments that I do ever since because he's negative as fuck.

36 y.o. boomer here. I was in the us army and deployed to iraq. The military is fucking retarded and a waste of your life unless you are dirt poor and don't think deeply about anything.

My advice to young people who don't know what they want to do is to work on your relationships before your career, only working part time if you can get away with it. Friends and a love interest give you more drive to work and make something of yourself, even if the job isn't great. Inspiration is a forgotten ingredient for most people.

If you have an associates degree and want to start a new life, there are Asian countries you can legally teach English in, which is a great experience even if you only do it for a year or two. You can find child and adult classes to teach depending on you preference (i recommend trying both), and you can find private lessons that pay under the table if you want to make a lot more money.

My brother spent his time driving around in his car and got his gf preg. That is fine, but you do you. He is himself happy, he doesnt' understand wage slaving (ive never even said that word to him, nor would I). Most normies are content with the world, alot more than biz makes out honestly.

Boombooms buy the bullshit about self-made men when in reality it's "get in with your fat stacks, use the laws to 100x your stacks, change the laws to shut out newcomers". It's the entire reason why anyone spouting the "everyonecanbeawinner/be empathetic" meme should kill themselves.

The other night at dinner my dad told my sister to go for an easier degree so she can get into a better school because the degree doesn’t matter and the brand recognition is everything. I told him this was fucking horrible advice and would put my sister in crippling debt with no career prospects. His response was basically “it worked for me” . His first job was basically writing blurbs on the back of cereal boxes which he was paid 55k a year to do in 1983. I told him that won’t fly on 2020 and no one will hire you without real technical ability. He said you could basically “work your way up” at some tech company.

That’s when it dawned on me that 90% of boomers never worked a job that required any sort of real technical knowledge. They think every job is the same low level shit that’s already been automated they would have been doing in boomer time.

I made a 1980 on my SAT but was only in the top 26% of my high school class. I came from an abusive household that didn’t care what I did. Yeah you may call me a snowflake but I still got a full ride to a state school and acceptance into their honors program. I am getting by but not as well as those who went to better schools. I envy them. Anyway I’m drunk and have no idea what I’m trying to say. You seem like an asshole though.

>Kek. Life's a bitch.

I will say that overall universities are incredibly Jewish about aid to white guys (I got somewhat "lucky") going to a top 10 uni for less than $30k debt which was easy to erase as a software engineer.

I expected to get way more from my state universities. I felt like I had done EVERYTHING right. 33 ACT, straight As aside from a B in freshman honors english one quarter of high school. AP econ, stats, physics calculus, biology, writing, and I even self-studied AP US history to inflate my GPA as much as possible (more AP classes than possible in my schedule lol)

Ran cross country, also played percussion in marching/concert/jazz bands and my own on the side. There were days where I would spring out of bed at 6am to work on the mission of getting into a google college and get it PAID FOR, do school until 2:30, start cross country practice at 3, leave early to get to marching band practice at 6 and get home at like 9 with homework lmfao. That was a typical fall thursday.

Ohio state, in my mind, basically said "lol, neat, white boi" and ignored this. Barely got any aid. My colored friends with slightly worse stats were getting attractive offers.

Cringing is better than being numb. And that number is wrong, 0-5 is closer to the truth. Not everyone has real friends, because relationships can be painful and cringy, so lots of people just give up on it and get cats. Yeah most people are idiots and finding and keeping real friends is extremely hard these days, but why not appreciate the challenge of it? Do you only do easy things?
