The Shrinking Job Market.

Post Reply New Topic

Yah a case against obtaining a college level education is bad if women seek it because then they become independent and won’t need men thus limiting the options men have of having sex and reduces the population.

Self service has drastically reduced the amount of check out chicks though.
There’s always going to be jobs in cleaning and nursing.

These are all entry-level positions that usually require only a high-school diploma.  Does anyone want to present a case against obtaining a college-level education?[/quote

I’m not sure that many solutions are sustainable or just rushed quick fixes. They need to start encouraging women to do trades as women have the highest unemployment rate. Many women I know that have two degrees don’t even have drivers licences!

Other countries just need to legalise brothels.

Some men get erectile dysfunction if a woman obtains a college level education. Bad for family. Bad for society. Bad for religion.

Eh some trades make more money without college education but probably more physically taxing. Whereas if you just stick it out for a couple of extra years at uni at least you’ll be at a massive advantage for other unrelated jobs you go for. You’ve already done 12 years for free what’s another four or three?

Unless you enjoy living below poverty line and not being able to be healthy then yeah not getting a college education is an awesome life. Guess you’ll be less threatening to other people if you’re unemployed,uneducated.

In Australia to work as a secretary you need tafe diplomas. Same with paralegal you need a 4 year uni degree. I’m assuming that to be a waitress will require people to have more than a certificate 4. More will be expected such as to make coffee, ect.

Don’t need to finish high school to be a cashier or waitress.

Did you ever stop to think that you could have consolidated your last nine posts into one?

Unfortunately a lot of people don't have the aptitude for STEM. It just requires a certain logical and abstract way of thinking that many people don't have. I'm a mature-age student studying CS who comes from years of manual labor and I'm running rings around some of these kids fresh out of school simply because I get it in a way that they don't. I also genuinely enjoy programming, learning new mathematical concepts and finding ways to apply them to solve problems. A lot of the other students just find it boring. They're never going to do well in a STEM career, and quite frankly there's nowhere near enough STEM jobs available anyway. Getting past the entry-level bottleneck is extremely difficult for many.

Yeah but I thought of those after I hit send. Sorry too late.

Yah even if you go for a survival job that doesn’t relate to your degree the fact that you have a degree demonstrates that you are reliable, hard working, and smart and puts you at a massive advantage compared to other applicants who don’t have one. So you’ll be first priority for most jobs so that’s a yay so I don’t think it’s a hard life when you’re born with a decent brain to use. Does it hurt to think? I have no idea what it’s like to be smart. Is it exhausting like running marathons?

I don't have the degree yet. I'm just finishing my first year and have two to go. I don't know about people respecting degrees. In my country, Australia, at least in the areas I've lived, a lot of people find degrees to be a sign that you're impractical and can't handle hard work. Better to leave it off the resume at a lot of places.

I'm not "smart", I just happen to think in a very analytical manner that's well suited to maths and programming. Came with the trade-off that I'm terrible at socializing and relating to other people, and am riddled with depression and anxiety. My interests make me utterly uninteresting to most women as well. If I was smart I would have gotten my s**t together young instead of wasting my prime years doing bugger-all. The point is that a lot of people are incapable of ever pursuing a STEM career, so expecting them to do so is just ridiculous. What we need is to transition away from this idea of "work or starve", because there's going to be less and less work that actually needs to be done.

the racket called american higher education has made it a very steep climb, financially, to get on board. one ends up with a lifetime of unreducible debt and, more often than not, no jobs that pay enough to change that. i am so glad i am much closer to the exit door than the entry door. i am glad i don't have kids that will have to negotiate this financial minefield of our american university education racket. a civilized nation would have the national ethos that businesses would step up to the plate and help out here, but they arrogantly just sit back with their arms folded across their chest and a sneer, do absolutely NOTHING and say "you must do all the work for us." AFAIC i wish a pox on all their houses, the university racket and the business racket.

“ people find degrees to be a sign that you're impractical and can't handle hard work. ”

How does that make sense lol? If you stick it out and do a four year degree that demonstrates that you’re able to keep up with the workload and have the intellect to be competent so I don’t get how that means you’re not a hard worker? What’s hard work to you? Do you mean manual labor? Impractical? Uh think it means your practical because valuing yourself and your education and your future is a sign of self respect and maturity so that’s very practical.
