I don’t really blame them. The corporate culture has flatlined as far as any realy opportunity goes.
The best thing they can do is learn a trade and work there.
There’s plenty not to like about working in the corporate world, but in my experience only a tiny fraction of these young people even have enough exposure to adult life to know the difference between a rewarding job and a “soul sucking” one.
I suspect most of them would consider anything more rigorous than campus life at a party school to be grueling to the point of slavery.
“The best thing they can do is learn a trade and work there.”
Absolutely! Go to trade school, do well and graduate in a couple of years with little college debt. Take a high five figure a year job in your early 20’s.
Agree.
9-5 jobs were always soul-sucking but they used to come with nice benefits and a decent pension when you retired. Not to mention, they paid enough to enjoy a solid middle-class lifestyle; buy a home, send the kids to college, etc.
Not these days. Can't really blame them for ditching this model.
