Given Ken's attitude, I thought he could use sage advice from those who managed to take the less honorable approach of getting a job and paying taxes.
A degree in History eh...Maybe O’Reilly can give him a Yob.
Instructor, teacher, admin asst in a college, faculty positions, retail management in a history museum, financial positions that do market research and trend tracking, and others.
Some “require solid work history” so there aren’t 5000, but still, the opportunity is out there.
And although pay tends to be lower, there are many perks to working on a campus when you are in your 20’s and have a car and an apartment.
Stop whining and make something of yourself- that’s what the rest of us grownups did.
No one wants to hire liberal arts majors any more. Too smart, too educated for business world. Must have a specialized degree and no deep thoughts, to interfere with the narrowly defined job in the techno world (hold on a minute while I put on my kevlar suit.)
I'm sure its from the finest liberal arts college around, just remember this phrase; "Do you want fries with that order?"
-Traveler
Ken, honey, repeat after me, “Do you want fries with that?”
Now you’re all set to enter a job level commensurate with your skills.
Assclown was helpless long before he graduated .. and in order to be launched "headfirst" into anything the first thing he'll need to do is extract his cranium for where he currently has it lodged.
My question is--why is Ken's integrity not compromised by being supported by others--oh, yeah, forgot--he's a lib, so spending other people's money is o.k.--even a natural state.vaudine
Hey Ken, My son went to college and was indoctrinated like many of you are anymore. I guess some of my conservative principles got through to my son. He took out loans and all and has worked to pay them back.
I hate my son’s politics, but at least he has been responsible for paying his loans back.
And guess what? He is successful. Ken, you are the worst of the worst. Translation? You are a pathetic loser.
You are a pathetic little lib who thinks the world owes him because he went to college.
Guess what, Ken, you are an idiot.
When we were young we had a word for guys like Ken: BUM!
I used to councel a kid to take a job at McDonalds to get a start at working. Had a Girlfriend that would have married him and a son with her.
He was too proud.
Blared out rap music (yea rap isn’t music) with his kid in the crib in the same room.
In and out of San Quentin, now 10 years later he has awakened
His Girlfriend (well ex) married an upstanding guy in the Navy and moved to San Diego.
In and out of San Quentin, now 10 years later he has awakened
The spoiled brats of the world can reach very advanced ages and still believe that everyone but them gets to do a job they love. They need to learn to love the job they can get.
My cousin was like that. Couldn’t hold a job for more than a year at a time before it just wasn’t “fun” anymore. Even though he had a wife and child to support, he could not embrace the idea that life sometimes requires some small sacrifices to meet your obligations.
Ken needs to look forward in order to move forward at a reasonable pace rather than insisting on using the rear view mirror (history) exclusively.
Oh for pity’s sake, what an unbelievable baby. By the time I was 24, I had been in the military for 6 years, held a Civil Service job based on that military position for 5 years, been married for 4 years and owned a house. My husband had graduated with an Associate’s Degree, all paid for and he also worked full-time.
It never occurred to us to fall back on our parents, not that they would have allowed it!!!
Integrity means taking responsibility for yourself and your obligations, not foisting them off on your parents or society at large. He needs a dictionary to help him figure out the true meaning of the word.
I applaud him. Less competition for the motivated among us. As long as he’s not on the gov’ment teet, he should go on with his bad self.
Lets assume he finds employment equal to his qualifications.
Do you really want to eat a burger this guy had access to outside of your view?
” including his belief that he is better off unemployed than “compromising his integrity.””
You can’t eat integrity!
