No worries!
I do agree with you on many things. I also work part time as a lifeguard (I love that free gym membership!) and several of my workmates are young college age kids with tens of thousands of student loans — usually in total j*** off degrees (sports management, sports medicine, and the total waste of college degree: ANTHROPOLOGY!) These kids are working dead end jobs and tied to ridiculous debt for degrees that get them no where. Worse still, the real young ones are so mentally rigid and afraid to take chances that they can’t think outside the box career wise.
Eventually, you are right, the bomb will go off and it won’t be pretty.
Personally, I worry for my daughter. She’s a very sweet girl, and very smart, but didn’t inherit my tech gene (which came late to me, I will admit.) She’s looking at education (early childhood, no less) and psychology as possible careers. Neither of which pay well, but she’s really intimidated, ironically, by the push to get girls into STEM.
As a fifteen year old, she says, “But MOM, it’s not that I’m afraid of those areas, I just don’t WANT to go into them. But they all seem to have such a big hard-on (her words) to reach some quota for girls in science.”
Out of the mouths of babes. I do tell her that there will always be unhappy people, so she can make a career counseling them.
“As a fifteen year old, she says, “But MOM, it’s not that I’m afraid of those areas, I just don’t WANT to go into them. But they all seem to have such a big hard-on (her words) to reach some quota for girls in science.””
Yep, she’s pretty shrewd to notice that. The feminazis will terrorize the schools if the quotas aren’t met. They’re going to force a lot of girls to go into fields they hate simply to satisfy their warped beliefs.
If she chooses psychology she won’t have any shortage of patients with all the insane libs running around.
I wish her the best.
