And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. My sister got a degree in Music performance and teaching and now is a music teacher at an elementary school. She doesn’t bitch about her salary and she sure as hell didn’t walk out of undergrad expecting a fat check.
I like how you gloat about your undergraduate degree and complain about your student loan debt in the same breath. It’s not about where you go. ROI is the bottom line. Seeing as how I graduated with zero debt and am now making what I had dreamed of making by 30 at 23, I’d say I won that one, champ.
You just substantiated my entire argument in one word, “Lawyer”. Go look up how many students law schools are churning out these days. Go ahead …. I’ll wait.
D1 athlete? You mean they didn’t just drop to their knees and blow you right there? HA! You’re so fucking full of yourself. I know life was real easy for you in college but we grown ups operate on a different set of rules. You actually have to show up and can’t, wait for it, cheat off someone! I know this is a lot for you to handle all at once but you’ll get through it.
“Almost all of us have …” Have you met every single graduate in the past 8 years and did they elect you to speak for them? Now I believe the D1 comment. You’re over generalization destroys any credibility in your argument.
You missed MY point. What upsets me is posts like this that extend the message that it is completely okay to do nothing because thats just how things are right now and there isnt anything you can do about it. It’s a fucking lie. Move somewhere with better opportunities. Get a PMP certification. Go back to school and get a degree with value. There are countless things one could be doing to make them self more valuable to potential employers as opposed to just giving up.
I know it’s hard out there for some people but I think if you’re willing to move and you have a good work ethic you should be able to find something.
No its 9 weeks basic, 12 weeks OCS, 16 weeks for BOLC. That’s roughly around 9 months. Can you take off work for 9 months? And I know, “they can’t fire you” blah blah blah. That’s complete horseshit.
On top of the ribbons and trophies you didn’t earn, they’ve now given you an excuse for why you’re failing, the ultimate coddle if there ever was one. It amazes me that people major in English and Liberal Arts and are genuinely surprised to find that their are zero career prospects following graduation. Did you research trend reports and annual salaries of desired positions before choosing your major or did you just go into Philosophy because your ”bff ashley” was doing it. I am turning 24 in October and I am pretty sick of being lumped in with my unemployed, whiny peers, if you could even call them that. I’d include my salary but I’m not trying to pull any power/douche moves today. Can’t get a job? Join the fucking army/airforce/marines/navy (I’m in neither, btw). Have you ever heard of veterans preference? It basically gets you bumped to the front of the HR line. I’ve been trying to join Air Guard for years but can’t find the time to get away from work.
tl;dr version: Stop making fucking excuses for why you’re not where you want to be and do something about it!
You’re suggesting telling them about the ‘boring’ music festival you went to? As if mid-40’s coworkers can relate to tripping balls on molly at Bonnaroo?

Probably got it because of their similar appearance.
And did you mean ‘see it’ or ‘go see it’? Because they have vastly different meanings.
^Nailed it.
Renting out the property is usually a pretty solid option for home owners in military towns.
^There it is.

And you can only assume they’re dirt poor and would do unspeakable things for a nickle.
