You spend close to $60k on college chasing down a masters in business admin and even though you are close to being done, you realize you will still be stuck at the same old dead end job that you've been trying desperately to escape.

COVID f#{ked up the job market that is already super hard to get employed to anything paying over $50k.

Now you fear having a useless masters on top of your useless bachelors while bills continue to grow and prices such as gas have shot up by $1 a gallon.

You wish you could do it over and become an electrician. However, it was so indoctrinated in you to go to college since preschool by your parents. Parents who told you it doesn't even matter what your degree is in cause you'll be hired just for having one. Most likely to management.

Now bachelors degrees are the new HS degree but with giant payments. Payments not paid since the start of covid. But money is bleeding through your fingers even without that. So you fear COVID ever ending as they will want their pound of flesh again.

Meanwhile you see forgive student loans plans floating around and it gives a spark of hope. A brief glimmer at one less stone upon your chest crushing you into a tiny pulp. Then it gets switched to $10k (enough for an few shares in some sustainable energy stocks apparently) and still you hope. But Biden refuses to do so. And why should he? None of his predecessors have? Why would he be any different?

Then you feel jaded and apathetic at the whole system. You see wealth inequality everywhere you turn. You, needing some sort of win, throw your stimulus money into some dumb meme stock like $GME, $BB or $PLTR as they cant go tits up. Now you are in a bigger hole wishing you could average down but have about 3 nickels in your bank account and owe at least 10 nickels.

I wonder what's streaming on Netflix?

Disclosure: Not my original work, received it in an e-mail and thought it was funny.

you get emails from Betsy DeVos?

LOL

That's a dumbass gen x.

Definitely more applicable to millennials and Gen Z.

I dive in dumpsters , TRAZH PICK and REACH IN trash cAns for unchecked scratch off tickets...

I have a B.S. IN MARKETING /BUSINESS
AND
A MASTERS OF FINE ARTS IN CERAMICS /SCULPTURE

BUT NO STUDENT LOANS...
Z.E.R.O.

CANT SAY AS "I FEEL YOUR PAIN" BUT I AM RETIRED WITH NO MORTGAGE, NO RENT, NO CHILLIN TO SUPPORT, NO KIDS TO PUT THROUGH COLLEGE...

P.S. : I NEVER EVER GOT A JOB IN MY ART MAJOR LIKE I WANTED...I WAS QUALIFIED TO BE A COLLEGE ART PROFESSOR...NEVER GOT THAT FIRST JOB...

PEOPLE WHO GET EMPLOYED IN THEIR MAJOR FIELD OF STUDY ARE VERY VERY LUCKY...BUT THEY ALSO HAVE ZERO IDEA WHAT LIFE is like when you never get that job or have to work menial jobs to get through life...

They have NO FREAKIN' CLUE WHATSOEVER.

This is a totally-useless-college-major with a big student-loan debt-story:



One of my kids borrowed $60k and moved to Boca Raton for college. Bad decision IMO at the time. Her degree is in food and beverage management or something else stupid like that- because it just was the shortest and easiest path to her getting a degree from the **School of Business**.

She was also her sorority's treasurer for two years in a row. They paid for everything for her to go out of town for a bunch of times for accounting, business and leadership seminars, put on by the national sorority (she/we got out of paying for any of this personally by teaching her to ask the board to clearly put the total of her projected expenses in her annual budgets to be approved).

Anyhow, she also worked part-time while in school selling shoes and jewelry at Lord and Taylor and was an assistant manager at a busy national jewelry store, all commission jobs.

So, she had "the whole "futureless-major college experience+++" like some are so critical of... but also a nice, real resume after the four years and all her hard work. It got her interviews right away and she took a sales job at a large national company. They have, thankfully kept her employed during the entire shutdown. She was even promoted and wants to live in Boca. And this was how she got herself set-up there.

Just 24 years old.
Had a B.S. major.
Is almost $60k in debt.

Now, she is waiting to see what Biden might do about paying-her loan off or getting a refi, while still paying her private note it in full- each and every month. Worst scenario is she has it paid off in less than 10 years, but my bet is it will be sooner than that.

Hi... my name is B, I'm a gen exer with a useful college degree and no student loan debt, so I'm qualified to make the following recommendation.

I would like to nominate dmv for a future pro abortion bilboard, I think he's the best fit... we don't even have to buy him an outfit or mess up his hair, we can just duct tape his azz up there.

That is all.

Thanks...that wonderful education can't even keep you on topic.

Promises promises.

How am I not on topic exactly? There was two bad student loan debt stories... I had to squeak a feel good story in there.

I mean, feels good right? To have a good degree and no student loan debt? Wait... you probably don't know much about that topic.

And what do you have against bilboards?

In dmv's neck of the woods, they literally erect billboards begging men not to get drunk and molest their own daughters... literally...

Please. You're going to carry the billboard rant from thread to thread like Joe Biden speaking to a room without a teleprompter?

I paid for my education as I went. Sacrificed my GI Bill to obtain my daughter's first wheelchair. Still went back and graduated.

That's for staying on topic.

You've been to Tampa and seen these eh?

F*ckin buzz kill. You really do suck at this...

Not even sure why I bother, where's RayRay, he's more fun.

This thread went full retard. Shocking

lol... I believe you.

Yes. Yes, it did... more and more I ask myself why the f--- I even bother to read the threads nowadays.

I believe I'm batting about 9.82% in turning threads full retard. Only .982% in getting Jade to call them out though... I need to get that number up.

You give yourself too much credit. Le HockeyDad is the one that usually tards things up. I don't like the cut of his jib. Did you post on this thread?

Note to self, the HockeyDad strategy is working... time to get that number up!
