personally, I can't stand how fucking stupid they are. baby boomers have destroyed America, they've destroyed the institution of marriage with feminism, and they've destroyed the white race with their multiculturalism.
what sad, utter, complete failures at life. Baby boomers were the most selfish generation to ever exist.

>"I'm telling you, you need to walk into a McDonalds or Wendy's and show them you're commited. Walk in and tell him you want a job, that's how i got one.

Your generation isn't committed enough."

-----------------------------
WHAT'S THAT SON?! YOU GOT A DEGREE SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A BURGER-FLIPPER. WELL, NOW IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO GO OUT AND GET A JOB! WHAT'S THAT, YOU DON'T WANT TO FLIP BURGERS AS YOUR FIRST JOB?! YOU THINK YOU'RE TOO GOOD TO FLIP BURGERS?!

"Thanks dad. Enjoy your racially mixed grandchildren, you bastard."

"Son, just walk into some place and ask to see the manager they will automatically GIVE you a job!"
>>32325848
yes boomers had a much easier life. they actually had jobs, nice non-feminist wives, a nice and clean white society, low crime rate (because drugs hadn't been suppressed yet giving rise to a black market and niggers hadn't been given equality yet). and so on and so on.
goddamn you baby boomers. you sold your own children into a life of slavery. and yet boomers don't even feel ashamed about this.
I hope the govt creates a repressive police state and starts killing off millions of Americans, starting with boomers. Boomers truly are useless eaters who should be terminated.
----------------------------
SON, SO YOU GOT TIME TO TYPE ON THE INTERNETS BUT NOT GET A JOB???
WHATS WRONG, TOO GOOD TO FLIP BURGERS????
THAT REMINDS ME I JUST GOT A BONUS FOR REPLACING BURGER FLIPPERS WITH ROBOTS. I HOPE YOU GOT YOUR DEGREE IN BURGEROLOGY SO YOU CAN GET A MANAGER POSITIONS!!!!!
LOL!!!!!

or hey mr boomer, how about i just pound your head in with a crowbar while you are walking home from the bank with your pension check, and then take your pension check from you and leave you half-dead in the street?
how about that, mr boomer? sound fun?

>The Baby Boomers: whiny, narcissistic, self-indulgent people with a simple philosophy: “Gimme that! It’s mine!” These people were given everything, everything was handed to them, and they took it all, sold it all; sex, drugs, and rock ‘n’ roll, and they stayed loaded for twenty years and had a free ride. But now they’re staring down the barrel of middle-age burnout, and they don’t like it. They don’t like it, so they’ve become self-righteous, and they wanna make things hard for young people. They tell em abstain from sex, say no to drugs. As for rock ‘n’ roll, they sold that for television commercials a long time ago so they can buy pasta machines and StairMasters and soybean futures. You know something? They’re cold, bloodless people. It’s in their slogans, it’s in their rhetoric: “No pain, no gain,” “Just do it,” “Life is short, play hard,” “Shit happens, deal with it,” “Get a life.” These people went from “Do your own thing” to “Just say no!” They went from “Love is all you need” to “Whoever winds up with the most toys, wins”, and they went from cocaine to Rogaine. And you know something? They’re still counting grams, only now it’s fat grams. And the worst of it is we have to watch the commercials on TV for Levi’s loose-fitting jeans and fat-ass Docker pants because these degenerate, yuppie, Boomer cocksuckers couldn’t keep their hands off the croissants and the Häägen-Dasz and their big fat asses have spread all over and they have to wear fat-ass Docker pants. Fuck these Boomers, fuck these yuppies… and fuck everyone, now that I think of it.

I don't think my dad can really full understand that even if I worked full-time on minimum wage, it'd take me 2 months to save up for school, maybe three so I could afford the books.
Full time minimum wage is less than $1,600 per month. It's a trap.
--------------------------------
fuck that shit, man. back in 2010, i applied to 150 different jobs, and like 70 or 80 of those were fucking fast food jobs. only got two interviews, and no job.
Fuck you boomer, you shouldnt have let all the immigrants come in and steal all our jobs. now you are going to have to support me financially for the rest of your life, retard boomer. have fun working till you drop, lulz, i'll be having fun jerking off and playing video games.
---------------------------------
yea funny how boomers did all those drugs as hippies, then in the 80s, they started the "war on drugs" which caused the prison population in America to skyrocket to astronomical levels.
what disgusting, fucking hypocrites.

The boomer RV.

Skip to 12:00. These 2 obese baby boomers say they plan on spending everything they have on an RV trip, they sold their home for a 250k RV and plan on leaving nothing to their children.
I'd love to go on an RV trip, but do you really need a 250k RV when you can make do with a 15K one? Do you really need to sell your house when you can rent it out?

Life's so hard. I have to adapt to a new employment environment and possibly consider moving or doing a trade. The movies told me that a college degree would get me a job! What do you mean my oversaturated STEM degree won't land me a 100k job at Apple? Gee whiz, my failures surely aren't my own fault. Well screw it! I applied for 50 jobs and heard nothing.

ITT: gen xers talk shit because they already passed their prime and faded into obscurity without doing anything significant, blame young people for being dissatisfied with the state of the world they didn't do anything to fix because all they ever had to do to live comfortably was learn how to use machines that 6 year olds can now operate

And this is where things have changed. Employers don't give a shit how well an employee does their jobs as long as they are not losing money. In their eyes the mediocre employee is just as valuable as the hard worker. If the hard worker quits there is another mediocre worker to take his place for the same pay or less.
Employees are commodities in employer's eyes rather than investments like they were 50 years ago.

The baby boomers have consistently shown themselves to be the most selfish generation in living memory. They were given the world, with amazing education in math, science, language, and college professors that actually fucking cared. They had limited debt and costs of living were low.
Their political activism was a clusterfuck. They voted for the worst politicians ever. They allowed corporatism and political elitism to corrupt society. They were indifferent or endorsed crisis just to make the near future "easier" while fucking over millions in other parts of the world. They never cared one instant about the world they were leaving behind for their own kids, or how all those people who were fucked over might hold a grudge.
When they finally had kids (if at all and very little) they were too busy with their own lives to raise them: Instead the likes of Mr. Rogers became a surrogate father for millions. When they failed to make their marriages work they went on to become spectacular failures as single parents who worked even LONGER and spent LESS time with their kids just to make ends meet, all while trying to pretend with a false smile that they were a normal family.
They agreed to foreign wars of aggression, they allowed themselves to be manipulated by politics of fear and consumerism, they follow irrational blind creeds and forced their kids to believe the same bullshit. The older they get the more hateful, fearful, and obsolete they become. They are parasites in every single sense of the word. They won't even leave any social security or welfare behind for their kids

>no jobs, all positions are held by old fuckers who don't want to retire because muh pension

Those people fought and died so the third world could be free to destroy the Caucasian demographic throughout Europe and America, under thecodeword "Multiculturalism". Those people fought so that homosexuality was pushed onto the young as a trendy and preferable lifestyle. Those people fought and died so that women could use every institution and every opportunity to castrate and berate men to the point where the modern male is a shell of its former self. So, what are we to thank them for again?
Entitled boomers are a large part of the problem. I recall once overhearing at a restaurant some boomer bitching about how if his lawn service couldn't hire illegals then he'd have to pay 5x more and couldn't afford to have such a huge lawn. I couldn't help but think that was the most boomer thing I had ever heard. And that's how they think.

Boomers don't follow "The Golden Rule." Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
All this bullshit that boomers put me through. Getting all these certifications, degrees, previous experience, internships, are violations of the golden rule.
A boomer could go into a workplace and "give them a firm handshake" and get hired that day. Now it takes months, lots of paperwork, years of school, and years of experience for that same job. This isn't following the golden rule. Boomers would not want to be treated like this, this is not how they got into the workforce themselves.

>>32326729
This was from a thread that basically asked "Why do politicians cater to boomers?"
>You want to actual answer? Because there are a lot of them.
Politicians cater to majorities. It is how they win votes. There are a lot of baby boomers and always have been, so politicians have always bent over backwards to do what ever will please them. All though their life policy has been directed to benefit them, giving them an easy ride, and the generations before and after have had to pay the price. Being able to live this charmed life of hope and opportunity, they think it will always just be that easy for everybody, unknowing that they are ruining the world for everybody around them.
They are selfish pricks because they don't know any better, like a spoilt kid.

>Boomers make children get into debt for college, indebting many of them for life.
>Boomers refuse to give children jobs
>Boomers refuse to train anyone
>Boomers import millions of Mexicans who don't pay taxes and send money back to Mexico.
>Boomers expect their children to pay for social security.
There WON'T be a social security for anyone like this. Boomers want to steal from their children, but that's like stealing from the poor, they don't have anything.
Boomers were so stupid to make their children go into debt, refusing to train them, and hiring foreigners. Boomers are just like their obesity, the obese and rich baby boomers expect to be carried by the malnourished and poor gen Y. This can't last and gen Y will simply leave the baby boomers to die.
-----------------------
When the boomers retire and die off, there will be no one replacing them in jobs. Boomers refuse to train their children for a job, so the jobs will get filled by incompetent and under-trained gen y'ers, assuming those jobs get filled at all.
The 2009 crash was caused be a decline in spending power of the Boomers, they reached an age where they no longer spend as much money as they used to. When the boomers physically die off, there will be an enormous collapse.
Smelly, dumb, boomer scum.

Heh there was even a article in bloom(jew)berg saying how we 23 year olds are great tax slaves for our worthless fathers. My father and mother have spent their lives promoting a delusion, absolving themselves saying that this delusion is my only inheritance. My grandfather a 'conservative' just sold his business to a complete stranger. He never asked me or any of my brothers if we would inherit it.
THAT IS TWO GENERATIONS IN MY OWN FAMILY THAT LEAVE ME EXACTLY NOTHING- BUT SCARS FROM A HATEFUL AND WORTHLESS DOGMA.

Aaaand I'm back. Thread is still up, so I'll resume dumping.
The worst thing they did was fund the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan and now look at Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Chechnya. The real enemy all along was Saudi Arabia pushing their Wahhabi/Salafist/Jihadist crap onto the world, removing secular dictators like Gaddafi, replacing them with Jihadis. Trying to do the same with Assad.
The Soviet's were the good guys in Afghanistan. An Afghan Soviet Socialist Republic would be a lot better than the hellhole it is now.
A lot of people have fond memories of living under Soviet Communism. Free housing, free education, jobs even for people that didn't want jobs. Then Capitalism destroyed it all.
>>32326022
My parents are boomers, my grandfather was from the generation before them. The man worked like a fucking machine to get what he had.
A few months before he died, we had a discussion. He told me how when he was young, he often ate nothing but some bread and water and baloney was a luxury. I pointed out to him that nowadays, baloney is cheaper than bread. Much cheaper. That's when he realized how fucked up things are for his grandchildren.
>>32327914
That doesn't really have to do with getting a job and employment opportunities. My dad is a telecom engineer and he had an associates engineering degree. If I wanted to do what he did I would need a fucking masters coupled with good internships and a co-op job.
>>32327914
How would having access to information fix the fact most manufacturing jobs where you actually make things have been sent off to China?
Everything else is a shitty service job with 8 million other people applicants competing with you driving wages down to dirt. And the boomers solution to this is to add 11 million more illegals to the economy.
>>32328091
This so fucking much. Send me a courtesy response, or have a note up that says you aren't currently hiring on your application webpage or form. Just as a common courtesy.
>>32328158
>trying to reason with these people
The reason we denounce their bullshit isn't to try and enlighten them. It's to make people realize how full of shit they are and how their perspective of the world is completely worthless. Don't listen to the boomers: The current generation is hard working and intelligent. The solution to the issues we have nowadays isn't to just "Work harder" and "Suck it up" like they keep saying.
>>32328217
That would require them not seeing prospective employees as dumb domesticated cattle they can treat however they want.
That's a staple of boomer culture, to treat everyone lower then you like shit. They only see you as something to exploit and at best laugh at.

>Saddest thing is todays youth dont have the wisdom of their grandparents to turn to. Instead they have babyboomers who forsook the traditions of their elders.
Holy shit... This!
I'm Gen Y. What a difference there was when speaking to my grandparents (who had their flaws. Though nowhere near the degree of my careless, boomer parents) and my parents. Anything I needed to learn about life and self-respect, I learned from talking to my grandparents. They would bring the topics up in a meaningful conversation. My boomer parents talk about nothing but the televitz (honestly, they do not talk about anything else); never anything of meaning or consequence. My parents taught me nothing past the age of ~14. My parents taught me nothing about life, responsibility, or the real world. My grandparents told me to always be and try my best, because that's how you (as a good person) make a positive and meaningful impact on the shitty world that the boomers were creating.
My grandparents (again, though they had their flaws) died in fairly good physical health (they were as active as they could be, up until they could be), had a respectable personality, and I -and probably most of history- saw them as a good example. My boomer parents are disgusting couch potatoes, who eat nothing but shit, watch the televitz all day, and I cannot recall ever seeing them "genuinely" respect another human being, unless they had something to gain.
History will judge the boomers as one of the worst generation's that this world has ever seen. Their ability to lie to themselves, and sleep well is almost admirable. However, history will put that fucking myth to rest, along with their morbidly obese, feeble-minded corpses.
The overwhelming majority of boomers I've met are shitty people, whom the world would be a much better place without. Thankfully, they have one foot in the grave.
>>32328449
>History will judge the boomers as one of the worst generation's that this world has ever seen.
Meh, there's been worse. Like the generation which made Christianity the state religion in the roman empire. Or the generation which got the Salem witch trials going. But they're definitely down there.

That is ridiculous. Pure hierarchical aggression.
>>32328081

Actually it does. Instead of downloading anime you could just as easily get a book on engineering or programming. Then when you go to school, your better understanding of the material can net you a scholarship.

That was only one town going batshit insane for a few years. It was quickly fixed and would have been forgotten if they never documented it. Boomers are an entire population of a country, millions of people, committing mass cultural and financial suicide. It will never be fixed.

>>32328764
Obviously you have aptitude and study hard you will do better than the average student. I don't see what point you're trying to make. You went from saying working hard will get you a scholarship to saying working hard will make you perform better. Obviously someone who sits around and watches anime every night will do wise than someone who studied. That doesn't make your point any more substantial.
>>32328575
>Instead of downloading anime you could just as easily get a book on engineering or programming.
My fucking sides.
All my friends banked huge on education so they could get those types of job placements.
Big surprise, they're still working at fucking COSTCO in massive debt and are miserable.
Better still (and I find this to be the most hilarious part of it all) they all suck the multi-cult cock hard.
And the people that are literally taking their jobs are shitskins and Asians.
>>32328540
Heh. Ironically, those were the first generations that came to my mind as well. Though yes, the current boomer generation is going to go down in history as perhaps being the most selfish, and outside of Rome, the generation that squandered the most promise. The difference between that Roman conclusion and the boomers, is that the boomers are so arrogant, that they are currently going down in flames and pointing the finger everywhere else, except where it belongs - on them.

No, you just don't know how tax brackets work. Do you think someone who reached the "80%" tax bracket paid 80% of his income in taxes? Of fucking course they didn't, and no one said they did. Those tax brackets did exist though, and they no longer do, and they should.

This isn't about having a circlejerk and whining, it's about denouncing the bullshit so people don't fall for it. People don't need to work harder, they don't need to get more experience, they don't need more education, they're not "entitled". Everything boomers say concerning those statements is complete bullshit which can be shot down by having any knowledge of how things were back when they were young.
What people need to do is change things. Realize the upper classes are draining the wealth from the rest of the people to the point where they can barely afford a home, let alone kids.

OP, there is a thread right here on /pol about Petroleum engineers in the US and other STEM degrees, and anons there are brag ing about their six-figure starting salaries.
You think they all are boomers?
Seriously, quit your whining, you little shits make me mad. You think you got it rough?
How about getting a job in a country with total population less that one major city in USA?
How about paying x3-5 times more for electricity, and x2-3 times more for gas, while having only 1/4 of your average salary. And there is no welfare no leech on, no "autism bux", nothing. Where older people during winter have to decide - should they pay for heating and die from malnutrition or buy food and get evicted.
Shut the fuck up, fucking sissy. You're living in a fucking paradise and still whine about it.
It really makes me mad.
I'm sorry but if you can't even get a university education you're basically useless to the workforce. It's the principle that matters not the skills you learn, people don't like working with uneducated dullards.

Actually, my grandparents did not own a television until much later (I recall that my parents were in their late teens by then). They encouraged my boomer parents to be physically active, respectful, and well-read. My grandparents (on both sides) required my parents to attend church. This was mostly due to surviving the atrocities of war and respecting life. Everything my grandparents stood for, my boomer parents rebelled against. Any proof I need of this (since I was not actually alive), I can see in the fruits of their labors. I respected and loved my grandparents. I admired them and felt a duty to make them proud. My parents were (and still are) fat, stupid, arrogant, aggressive, careless, pothead, drug using, assholes. The biggest difference in character between the two generations, is that the majority of boomers I've met do not have self-respect, and thus none for others. This is a magnificent character trait.
The difference in character and behavior between my parents and theirs is night and day. I have no reason to believe that my parents were not raised with every good intention, but every reason to believe they were disrespectful, rebellious, little pieces of shit.

Teh Boomers, as you call them, are too wrapped up in their own little worlds of self entitlement and selfishness, to even comprehend the basic premise of life after death. They would rather waste away at our own expense in paid off housing (which their parents actually paid off), go on cruises to countries where there is slave labor getting drunk on mai tais and eating shrimp cocktails, while lambasting their own children for not meeting their expectations of how they should live their lives. Meanwhile, their children worked their asses off in school and jobs to try and live up to their expectations in order to get some kind of respect, or love, that will NEVER be fullfillled. The children of the boomers will either accept that they will never be as well off, or, resort to medication and brainwashing by the MSM in order to not only feel better, but to also garner some sort of sympathy / relation to their parents.

Boomers inherited a vast system of interstates built by their parents and now, a generation later, 67,000 bridges are "structurally deficient" and they complain how the highways are too congested with the young people that they made.
Boomers grew up seeing the Civil Rights Act enacted and President Kennedy putting a man on the moon as he boldly promised.
Unfortunately the Baby Boomers weren't able to replicate such paradigm shifts of civility or ambition.
Boomers grew up in a country that was ascendant toward becoming the world's first Superpower, and instead of taking the ball and running it, they handed it off to China.
After jacking up the price of a college education, Baby Boomers started for-profit colleges and predatory education loans for our generation, which temporarily lined their pockets at the expense of America's future both domestically and on the global commercial stage. Since 1978 compensation for CEOs has risen 725%, while the growth in worker compensation has risen only 5.7% in that time (making our income inequality WORSE than Ancient Rome's). After having their balls plated in brass, the Baby Boomers are blaming this generation for not contributing very much to the economy.
The greatest irony from the worst generation is their inexorable refrain that we are, "losing traditional America", which is to say, "Things used to be better", and they are exactly right- things used to be far better before they were handed the keys.

actually, no. the US ended the gold standard in order to protect the dollar as the "go-to" currency for international trade transactions.
by 1971, european nations (previously decimated by WWII) were recovering, and exchanging the US dollars they held for gold. ergo, european governments of countries (such as france, germany, and the UK) were increasing their gold reserves, wherein their currencies began to "creep up to"/catch up to the value of the dollar.
while it is true that we citizens are suffering from the artificial inflation caused by losing the gold standard, it wasn't due to some decades-old "jewish conspiracy." it was a geopolitical strategic move the save the "bretton-woods" agreement.

Also, jobs like that don't have strong unions, limited regulation (sure, a lot of rules in place but little enforcement and tiny penalties), and don't do diversity hires.
I have the same situation on the rig. There are guys who didn't graduate high school and make more money than me. They just put up with waay shittier jobs.

>Typical Starting Salary for Petroleum Engineers with a Bachelor’s or Master’s Degree
>When a prospective student looks at a career, becoming a petroleum engineer is likely one of the highest starting salaries of any profession. Not only does this field pay extremely well compared to others, but the job market looks to remain steady in 2014 and in the near future. Petroleum engineering starting salary with a bachelor’s degree is going to pay on average $75,000 and 95,000 depending on the company and location. This is one of the best starting salaries that a college graduate could hope to get and it looks to remain strong for the near future.
As one would expect, the top paying industry for petroleum engineering is oil and gas extraction, averaging $161,100 annual salary.

So instead they major in "Environmental Technology" or "Sustainable Engineering". All STEM majors are more concerned about solving "issues that matter" like global warming or world hunger. I know that the best thing to do is make bank so that I don't have to deal with that shit, because China, Brazil and India will fuck the environment anyways, as long as there are kyke bankers willing to fund them.
As a petroleum geologist, I know that there will be a day when I have to switch to working with water or mineral extraction, but by that time I might be looking at retirement anyways.

Petro engineers are few and demand is high that's why the salaries are still high. If people take your advice and start flooding the job market for petro engineers then demand will decrease and wages will fall.

If "they" (the boomers, and your dad who is employing foreigners) destroyed the economy and "stole the future" then it's YOU who are going to inherit all that stolen future.
Including those shares of companies who shipped jobs to Asia.
tl;dr Shut the fuck up, you have absolutely no right to complain.

field work always has openings, though it can be kinda hard to enter the market. i do water resources shit, lot of sampling and field reports, but it wasn't easy getting the job.
gotta get those field certs like HAZWOPER or MSHA to have a shot

You're forgetting boomers grew up in a world where every other country was still decimated by WWII and had no manufacturing capabilities.
It wa only in the 90s that China caught up, and Wal-Mart led the charge to have everyone's manufacturing jobs outsourced, along with all the IT help desk jobs that were outsourced to China.
That by itself led to our economy beinga service sector economy, which didn't have any union protections, hence the big push at McDonald's and to raise the minimum wage.
And that's before you get into the crippling college loan debt you'll graduate with or the fact that our money has devalued.
Today's workers KNOW they're getting a raw deal, and boomers telling us to just go in there and shake the manager's hand isn't helping.

sorry, outsourced to India

There won't be a "shortage of jobs", but there will soon be a surplus of majors. I put shortage in quotes because the only thing causing it will be a surplus of majors; no underlying cause.
I even thought about EnE, and if you're defending your choice of major, you're gonna make it. I did Petroleum geology instead of petroleum engineers mainly because geologists can get those living-wage-paying, pensioned, benefit-heavy low intensity government jobs if they want. Petroleum engineers cannot.

Also, the US produced 50% of the worlds GDP after the war, because every other industrial nation was in ruins. There was a huge demand in labor and energy was cheap. A single wage earner could easily feed a family, finance a house and buy a car. The tax base was broad & stable and could afford to subsidize education among other things.
The baby boomers grew up in this age of abundance. The generations after them weren't as lucky, because the other economies began to catch up. By the early eighties, when GenX entered college and the workforce, the party was mostly over.
They had some of the best investment conditions of any generation. This spoiled them and caused them to not comprehend how economics works. Now they expect their children to wallow in poverty and struggle to ever achieve any sort of economic stability so that they can enjoy a comfortable retirement that they think they are entitled to.
Oh but whatever,. just go in there and look the manager in the eye and shake his hand...

Yep. I'm almost done with mba in hydrology and I have all my soil certification and some other shit I don't even know the name of. Any general tips for getting hired in fieldwork, done you do it?
Even the blue collar old timer I work with has it good.
He says he only keeps the job because he has to work a certain amount of hours to receive certain benefits. His parents are rich and still alive, still buy him shit. Tells me he doesn't really "need" the money, but works anyway.

sounds like a plan. get a few keynesians and generals in a room together, get this country back on top

this. Part of the reason that I hate boomers is because they didn't have regulations to deal with, and it was "Degree=job". But I didn't complain. I got my professional geologist license and a job in a state that requires licenses.
>>32331161
>Do you have a point?
Yes, I do.
>Petro engineers are few and demand is high that's why the salaries are still high. If people take your advice and start flooding the job market for petro engineers then demand will decrease and wages will fall.
Petroleum engineers is but one profession, are you implying that people with other degrees in the US cannot make ends meet and are living in destitution?
Yes I gave that example because I wanted to show that is such opportunities exist, it's hardly all gloom and doom as OP is suggesting.
>Your entire argument is irrelevant
And constantly bitching about boomers who destroyed America is? How exactly blaming absolutely everything on your own parents can be productive and helpful?
>>32331489
mba in hydrology? did you do any lab or field stuffs? i didnt know mba was an option, i have a MS
just get your certs and degree. most people applying will not have any certs. my anecdote is that after one extremely long week of water sampling, my boss told me i was the only one in 120+ applicants who had HAZWOPER, which did two things:
>it shows that i have an interest in the field because i went through the effort of getting certified
>they save money on training

This old zero sum game fallacy again.

Well, I haven't looked at the statistics from this year, but part time I checked E science and engineering are still wide open. Right now is the time to be getting/finishing your degree. Even related fields like geology or chemistry van get into environmental right now. In ten years, it will probably become saturated like psychology and business are.

Anon, at least give us the name of this ultra-chode so his reputation will forever scarred. He could be fired over that kind of shit.

Ask your professors. Easier to get that precious first experience from your school than to try to find it in the industry. There are TONS of jobs for recent grads, but few internships, and you'll look a lot better with something to put in "Previous Experience".
Also, how does one get an MBA in hydrology?

exactly. You didn't used to need a degree until the boomers ruined the job market. No boomer NEEDED to go to college it was solely optional. Now to have a nice life you NEED to go to college and most likely need to be skilled in either business or STEM.
>How exactly blaming absolutely everything on your own parents can be productive and helpful?
There's literally no way to fix America at this point. They deserve to be hated for what they did. Outsourcing to 3rd world countries for cheap slave wage labor is despicable coming from the supposedly "caring" generation. But it is what I expect from these hypocrites.

Wow. She's hot and classy.
My grand dad was at Normandy. He died when I was about 10. He only ever said one thing about the war that he would dig a foxhole any chance he got to. I also found a picture of him with General Patton. They were both smiling. My grand dad raised me in my earliest years of life because my boomer parents never gave a shit about me. He didn't like them either. He took me on vacations which my parents never did. He also set up a college fund for me but my parents cashed it out for themselves after he died. He paid off his house and my parents got it but they took a mortgage on it so they could build a pool. They ended up selling the house after the real estate bubble burst for less than it was worth.
Now my parents are retiring and they've got it made big time. They were always worthless but they're getting loads of money from their pensions. It's not possible for them to save anything they just spend, spend, spend.
I remember my grand dad telling me not to listen to anything they tell me.
>>32331577
well, petroleum engineering is one of the few majors where being a white male is still a real advantage. Few schools teach it, and the ones that do are in red states (good luck being a disabled transotherkin bigender Bhuddist at Texas A&M). The courseload is very demanding, but you will be rewarded if you put up for it.
tl;dr getting a degree in Petro E isn't as easy as getting a degree in EE or CivE or one of the other many flooded engineering majors. Not saying those are easy majors, just flooded.
>>32331599
I'm retarded as fuck, I meant ms. Had a brain fart because I was talking about business degrees earlier. But yeah, I did some environmental microbiology lab work during my undergraduate. But fuck that shit man. Now I'm doing lab work with my ms program, so I do have relevant lab experience. I'll have to look into hazwoper and pick that up.
>>32331664
It was from some news story a while ago.
I'll try to find a link to it.

>No boomer NEEDED to go to college it was solely optional. Now to have a nice life you NEED to go to college and most likely need to be skilled in either business or STEM.
>boomers get into position of power; start pushing for college degree to be considered; everyone starts going to college; makes degrees more and more worthless
Why do boomers ruin everything.
