"I don't feel special or entitled..."

[regexcellent]

Oh, I almost forgot, feeling like you're entitled to have a job just because you have a college degree, is still feeling entitled. It's a poor worker who blames his tools and it's a whiny ***** who blames the economy. Take responsibility for your own ****ing circumstances.

I can just imagine how much you dislike the fast food strikers

Reg: "How dare you want 15 dollars an hour. You dont deserve it, you didnt earn it."

FFW: "What am I supposed to do, just roll over and die and take it?"

Reg: "Well you should go to college"

FFW: "I'm still poor after going to college due to the limited opportunities and the way that companies exploit unpaid internships. Not only that but I went into debt with private creditors because my fast food job wasnt enough to pay for a full ride. Sure I have a degree now but all the opportunities that pay enough to cover my student loans require a masters degree or higher. If I'm lucky I can get the department to take me on part time while I get my PHD but that only covers living expenses"

Reg: "Well you should have just made better choices instead of standing around a keg party boy"


I mean, there is no plausible scenario in this world where the way the world works is ****ed up in the way it pushes and pulls people into dubious situations of financial health, according to you. It all comes down to choices.

Get the **** out you simpleton.

You're the ******* telling people to get college degrees in the first place then chiding people when it doesnt work out for them for making the wrong choice. Youre an *******, pure and simple. The sooner you realize this and shut your stupid mouth the better.

Plenty of people make 15 dollars an hour without going to college. I did. I'm complaining about people who have been to college and have the nads to claim poverty. Go work in an oilfield. Go to North Dakota. Move somewhere where other people aren't willing to live, and they need people, and work. You can make a lot of money that way.

I've never even SEEN an unpaid internship either. Like, I've never seen an offer for one. Maybe they don't have them in my field because people are actually willing to pay money for it.

And yes, if you "want" 15 dollars an hour, but can't find it, sucks to ****ing be you, go find a job that pays 10 dollars an hour. Do a good job and maybe they'll pay you more. Everything's worth what the customer will pay for it. If you ain't worth 15 bucks an hour, welp.

I've never said people should get college degrees. Fewer people should. People shouldn't get college degrees in the humanities. Go STEM or go home.

Yep, everything is always your own fault. I wish you were alive during the great depression and telling unemployed people living in hoovervilles to take responsibility for their circumstances. Then maybe they would have gotten off their asses and found jobs

And this is coming from a high school drop out with limited experience in college who owns his own home, has a great job, and is probably at the highest financial health and stability of his life.

Is your framework for the world so fragile that you need to tear other people down to validate your own life?

So you dont believe in any sort of formal education for educators.

[Hauldren Collider]

I agree with reg of course

Educators should get degrees in their field not education.

[MRT144]

Yeah, of course the guy who lived on a genteel plantation with slaves agrees that life is all about choices and **** you for thinking otherwise.

Getting an education minor, perhaps, while getting a degree in what you'll actually be teaching is fine by me. Education degrees ain't worth the paper they're printed on.

Also, teachers don't get paid that much because lots of people want to do what they do, and it's not that difficult, and a lot of them are actually really bad at it. Clearly they're willing to be teachers for "little" money, which from where I'm standing actually looks like a lot of money for only 9 months of work.

What subjects do second grade teachers teach?

[regexcellent]

Babysitting.

Why would middle school math teachers need degrees in math? Training in how to educate kids would seem more relevant than college-level math.

What is it with conservative white males in denial about how ****ty our generation has it right now?

The generation you speak of keep voting for policies that make them poor.
