I cant find a well paying job either. I should be able to start at 250k+ with a degree in co-ed submarine racing. Where are all the offers?

What is the market value for a degree in Interpretive Lesbian Dance Studies? We know the a degree from Boston University in Economics is worthless.

I heard an excellent talk recently given by a woman with 3+ decades of HR management experience. She said that one of the biggest problems facing business these days is that Millenials, in her words, “resist” the idea of having to start at the bottom and climb the ladder.

/////////////////////////////////////////
First “Marxine” is a great name. Never heard it until you. Thanks.

Second, To Marxine:
Give me your wealth (above the living wage hourly amount, of course) and I will promise to distribute all I don’t need as the administrator to each and every living ex-slave in the African-American community. Every one who has personally suffered being a slave will get a share of the money. Okay?

My millennial son put in his time in college, moved across the country and now has a well paying job with international opportunities.

I don't buy maxine's pandering argument.

The current generation is insulted that they need 2 jobs in order to pay their bills.

Now, well paying jobs are being filled by the chronically impoverished and underemployed that, until recently, needed 2 jobs in order to pay their bills.

Karma...

Sorry, that level of pay requires experience in cross-gender submarine racing...

You wonder, where do these young people, get the idea that they are entitled to a six figure salary right out of college?

Where do they get the idea that majoring in liberal arts/humanities/gender studies, leads to high paying jobs?

Getting degrees in the hard sciences, engineering, accounting, nursing, etc. will lead to career paths. Many other majors just aren’t applicable in the job market.

But even degrees in marketable fields still lead you to entry level jobs, from which you need to work your way up in a career field.

This begs questions such as , what did your son major in while in college? It sounds like he has shown the ability and desire to work hard to establish his career.

But those degrees require real work.

Exactly what job would Maxine have, if “identity politics” and her big mouth hadn’t gotten her elected to public office?

Heck, she would probably have been promoted up to “fries” at McDonalds by now.

market value of degrees....


For years the colleges offering English Lit. poetry PhDs have had a program to give someone with the valuable PhD the chance to teach other students to get a poetry degree allowing them to seek a job teaching poetry. What a pyramid.

Many are in Best Buy or Home Depot pointing you down the aisles. Poetically.

I have 2 millenial daughters- the oldest had a job within her field before she graduated, the second is graduating this spring and has already had a couple of second interviews.

Most of their friends/acquaintances are floundering. Society has told these kids that if they go to college that they will be handed a job that pays them like their parents. What nobody told them is a degree in angry woman’s study doesn’t pay the bills—except for the professors teaching them. They feel a degree in social services should pay real well because they are saving the world. When they find out they were mistaken they double down on a masters in art history. Where are the parents?

You also have a group that are lazy and the parents allow it. I have several friends that have kids that didn’t finish college and are festering at home with a crappy part time job. These kids need to be kicked out to fend for themselves.
