They are frightening. It this is any indication of that generation, and from what we've seen lately it is, then it's the end of America. The illegals and terrorists should crank up the popcorn maker and watch as we destroy ourselves.
I took 18-21 hours each semester and went summers to college. Had a part time job so I wasn't begging $ from my family. Didn't have an overpriced apartment like today's snowflakes but lived in the dorm and had a meal plan. When the cafeteria was closed, I ate spaghetti out of a can and allowed myself a cheap fried chicken snack box on Sundays. I still had plenty of time to be involved with school organizations and free time. I understood my parents weren't wealthy so graduated in 3 years at 20 years old. And that was before the time of AP and college credit high school classes where today's snowflakes can have up to two years of college already in the bag. Today's big babies will never have a clue.
You had better remember that NANCY “THE PUTA” PELOUSEY told them that UNEMPLOYMENT and ART were great career paths.
Given that they eventually eat their own, the career of a professional SJW is usually brutish and short. They can only destroy so much before they have to look inward and see who they have to purge.
The S might as well stand for Soviet.
In part our education is too specialized. Had a young smart civil engineer before I retired that could not consistently use a twenty foot tape measure on architectural and structural work as it was underway.
Probably could survey and run a Total Station but just grabbing a tape measure and reading plans outside his disipline took him a couple of months to get past shakey results.
I see too much lack of OJT and accepting the worth of older non-technical.
I was on a very slow connection. They never showed up. Now I see them. Thank you.
Ahhh...You are very welcome.....
I remember quite clearly that Pelosi was referring to people who already had careers but didn’t necessarily like the idea of premature involuntary retirement and/or “underemployment”.
“I see too much lack of OJT and accepting the worth of older non-technical.”
Another HR ‘mistake’. Yet they still want to say how they can’t seem to find enough good people to interview, much less hire.
That tape measure is the same as so many cashiers not knowing how to make change. Just yesterday, I heard of a woman who was begging for pants for her husband. Ya know, if you’re broke (or not) and you have a small hole in your pants, mend it before it becomes a big hole. Wow, sewing, what a concept! When our kids were young, I made a point of making sure they had all the basic life skills they needed if we suddenly weren’t there for them or they were stranded or in a dangerous situation.
I can’t say it’s just this generation, though each generation gets worse. When I was little, our elderly neighbor didn’t know how to cut up a whole chicken for dinner. My grandfather told her to draw and quarter it. And that is exactly what she did... and brought him the picture she’d drawn of it, sigh. Always the gentleman, he studied her picture and proceeded to cut up the chicken.
