You Graduate With A Ton Of Debt And No Experience...solutions?

Mandatory Military?

Fuck that shit...

 

Solution is: Find some people able to start a business for you, and maybe some others, to have a career under them (the employers).

Make pales with people looking to go into business. Your career path might spark their business path in an accordance.

 

are there really enough jobs that require a college education out there for even more college graduates? this is a legitimate question, i really don't know the statistics. it just seems like there aren't that many job openings in fields that require higher education. if anything, it seems like it's way too hard to get anyone to apply for the jobs that don't require college.

like i said, i really don't know, but i feel like the current job market is the main problem with people getting degrees and not being employed, way more than lack of experience. if everyone had experience, then the available jobs would just go to whoever had a little bit more experience. maybe if our "non-profit" colleges weren't so concerned with profits, they wouldn't graduate every idiot who is able to pay them for 5 years, and more people would realize that they may be more suited for a trade or even an unskilled job.

 

College is joke. The fact that every half-wit attends college these days is telling enough. It really is a racket, because you pay a whole lot of money, and what you get in return isn't a whole lot. If you're lucky, you might find a job in your field. For a lot of people college amounts to nothing more than a whole lot of debt that takes years and years to pay off. I am a college dropout and proud of it. I don't make a lot of money, but that simply forces me to live within my means and not accumulate a bunch of material shit I don't really need. College these days is all about attaining a diploma, and I certainly do not associate those who attend with intellect or real knowledge. It's sad how people are judged based on if they went to college or not. I find college types to be some of the most indoctrinated, inside the box thinkers. It's no surprise since colleges do not teach logic or critical thinking.

 

You are starting off with the assumption that experience is the most sought after commodity. Just because many that get knocked back for positions, if asked, get told "because they dont have experience" or they just assume thats the reason. Doesnt mean its the actual reason they didnt get hired

Often that is not the case, if the superior is involved in the hiring process just as likely he/she can be threatened by that experience, prefer hiring drones or kiss-asses, If the hiring is done by HR, they will just follow a formula, certain personality types that will fit the position, people that will be happy to settle for a mundane mid level job, i.e ones that wont rock the boat.

Plus its just about supply and demand, too many people go for the degrees they find interesting or think will make them money without knowing or researching if there is an oversupply on the other end. And there never have been enough jobs where a college degree is actually required as opposed to merely its title.

And as others have pointed out, the bigger percentage of the population you get into tertiary education, the more it dilutes the value of an undergrad degree


You could throw trillions more at the problem

....and you will still get the same tiny percentage of students that are going to bust a gut getting honours level,

Not that that matters in the end, because when they get out into the real world, its still more about who you know, than what you know, a certain amount of just plain dumb luck, or everyone will just stereotype you anyway, more likely to get promoted by kissing arse or screwing other people over than actually working hard....or getting fired for some other bullshit reason, when its really because some supervisor was threatened by you, or you made him or her lose face in some way

You need a certain amount of bullshit politicking skills, that never get taught at college level, to survive in especially large corporate or government situations

 

There is a lot more to going to college than just the degree. The work, the effort, the people you meet, and how you grow from all of it. Getting a degree, that's just a piece of paper saying that you've been therre and went through it. Sure, you have to pay for it. Sorry it's not free. I guess that gives you the opportunity to prepare for when your kids go to college. Set money aside to pay for their tuition books and fees.

I'm 46 and I'm going back. Sure, I have to pay for it like everyone else. But when you go to school, you can take what you want, but is it going to pay the bills? Do not take a degree in basket weaving and expect a career from it. Aerospace engineering, maybe you'll get a job.

I look at it as building yourself. Yeah, you'll be in debt, but it's also not the end of the world. It's only the beginning.

 

What Course Are You Going Back For Logan 5...??



Cheers Glen.

 

Engineering.

 

What I hate is all these young women, bragging about how they've expanded their dating standards to include older men, bbut when I take note of that, they say "older men, yes. Grandfathers, I don't think so!"

Bitches.

But damn, some of them are built just sooooo righteously! Damn!

 

Really, preparing for the workplace should begin in high school. Not everyone is going to benefit from a 4-year college degree. Those students should be identified by their junior year in high school and a career path laid out for them that includes technical training and on-the-job experience while they are still school. They may still be required to take some courses at a local vocational college but those tend to be quite affordable compared to a 4- year university.
