And in the meantime considering how bad boomers trash kids for being entitled for wanting access to these things, not one of you had any problem flocking to facebook to spy on people.
Boomers = Creepy generation
Honestly the economy is sort of improving, I was able to land a job easier than I expected when I finally got around to printing out my Resume.
But yeah baby boomers are holding us back.
Being 30 years old I am always schizophrenic on who I hate more... Millennials or Baby Boomers. On a micro scale (meaning my day to day interactions) I would have to say Millenials by far, but that is mainly due to their youth and the fact they think they know everything which is far from the case, the pompous attitude and the fact the cops have to break up ridiculous brawls they create downtown every weekend. Some of that can be chalked up to youth and some of it can be chalked up to the fact that I have never seen a more anti-social group of people in my life. Their people skills are extremely poor.
All of that being said... they haven't had enough time to make things better or worse. Baby Boomers without a doubt have fucked up this country past any sort of recognizable state. So overall they are definitely worse compared to Millenials but I wouldn't be surprised if the Millenials surpassed them or maybe they will surprise the shit out of me and be awesome.
I don't know where I fit in at all. I definitely do not identify as a Baby Boomer nor am I even close enough to the age cutoff and I definitely don't with Millennials.

I get full points on that one - my personal favorite was a 50 year old business person who was ok with apprentices here in Aus being forced to take 21k loans just to be able to fund their own apprenticeship while he pocketed so many fucking benefits that he would have been able to retire on the public purse. (and yes he got his schooling paid for by his parents)

Maybe not door to door, but initiative, enthusiasm and confidence are the three top things employers look for.

No one, not even teenagers, actually think they know everything. That's just something parents say when they don't know how to explain their position (even when they are right).
>>33643469

And if you keep repeating that lie, maybe it will come true and you can ride to your job on a flying pig.
>>33643633
>Maybe not door to door, but initiative, enthusiasm and confidence are the three top things employers look for.
No, those would be experience, credentials, and if you're white or not.
>>33643653
Not true at all. Some Teenagers and people in their early 20's really do think they know better and even if you present a good argument on why they are wrong they simply will have none of it.
That goes with youth and isn't unique to any generation.

Every single restaurant in my small town is a franchise besides the BK. This is good and bad in that the menu can have some really unique good stuff but it can also lack some of the basics of the corporate restaurants.
>>33643686
I have no experience and the bare minimum credentials to be hired, so how did I get a job?
Oh that's right, I grabbed myself by the sack and phoned the general manager directly and sold myself to him. Now, 2 weeks later, I'm hired. Guess you're just making excuses.
>“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”
I live in a small town and it is pretty much impossible to get a job. It comes down to either knowing someone, or timing. Whenever anyone is hiring, they get like 200 in a day, and they don't have the time to bother sorting through it. Only way is to happen to hand it in when the manager is there, and has a minute to talk to you.
>>33643778
>you practically are a millennial yourself
It's pretty fuzzy on what year is cut off and more often than not I am Gen X or sometime a Millennial. I reject being considered a Millennial because the time I grew up in is so much different compared to the Teenagers now. There is no common link or identification.
>>33643712
In the boomers generation you could. They were paid a living wage back then and people could afford to save and not simply survive.
But even then there is usually some other investors or inheritance involved. It would take many years on a managers low salary to buy into a franchise.
You can thank the government bureocracy for this. If worker laws were laxer, there would be more jobs.
>>33643789
>so how did I get a job
You didn't, you're lying to people on the internet.
>>33643789

You gotta make it happen. You don't want it enough. If you wanted it enough, you'd be willing to do almost anything to get it. There are 25 guys out there willing to do more than you to get it, and yet you cry about not being able to get it. Silly little children ITT.

I dont intend on working until i finish my degree in engineering. lel fucking boomers
I have some distant family members who are boomer generation, rich, inherited a small business from their parents, invested in it, made lots of money, they didn't need a mortgage to buy two houses, one of which they rent out, they are well connected and play golf all day after retiring. Their grandchildren waltz into jobs, usually starting at management positions, and they never seem to have a care in the world. My grandparents on my mother's side were boomers, they had all their kids in the 60s, did well with owning/running a manufacturing business, but my grandfather dropped dead with cancer right after getting out massive loans from the banks ready to reinvest in his business. It all collapsed, and I have no-one with connections to just pull me jobs out of thin air. I have a job, albeit a shitty one. I don't resent my cousins for their boomer support. My parents were my age in the 80s, they got fucked by Thatcher, just as I'm getting fucked now. I do resent baby boomers for having it easier than every other generation.
>>33643915
They pissed it away on eating out and being spendy, trendy boomer idiots. Most of their generation is distilled cancer, so potent and obnoxious that anyone apart of an out group can't stand their bullshit even if they try.

>>What is a business loan
30 years ago maybe.
You cannot get a buisness loan to buy a franchise now. Most places require 25% to 40% of the franchise cost as cash on hand, and this cannot come from other lenders.
In McDonald case you need about a minimum of $500,000 before they will even speak to you about a franchise. The other $800,000 or so can come from a business loan.
>>33644088
They had it easier because government was smaller and less intrusive in the economy.
Your resentment will lead you to vote left wing and fuck up things even worse.

Where do I get my capital? Let's say I want to get into a computer repair business. Where I live I need permits to do that, I've heard of instances in my city of people getting baited by the cops into coming over and fixing their computers. They get a nice fat fine and some of them, if they've been caught before, get to spend time in jail. Give me the few thousand for a start-up so I can travel around town on the unreliable bus transit system to repair people's computers :^).

Wrong. You are looking at it from a city or suburb aspect. There are plenty of small towns away from cities where middle class people start up franchises all the time. The revenue stream isn't even close to the same and the cost of start up is way more accessible.

I will vote for whatever party is in my best interest for the time/for the next five years. I am a mercenary at heart. With most of the popular parties being essentially the same, there doesn't seem much point in voting at all. Labour and Conservatives are the same, Liberals are weaklings, I dislike Ukip, and any of the genuinely Left Wing are useless, tiny parties with no support and outdated views.

Honestly it's pretty true. Sure it *shouldn't* be this way but go handing out 100+ resumes/applications if you're not looking for a very specific job is pretty fine. If you're a computer programmer then yeah it should be more specific and only maybe a handful.
If you're looking for minimum wage go hand out 200 resumes and tell me no one called you back. Can't be lazy, bros. As much as it sucks

I actually like managing my networking more, though, instead of getting by with family connections. It makes me feel proud and independent. I like to think that in the longer term I will be able to work in my desired field. As time goes on, though, it looks more and more that my desired field would be an actual field. I loved farming, and I really have a strong desire to start my own small farming business, hopefully get government/EU subsidiaries, and otherwise be my own man. That'd be grand.

No they're wrong. Laws were passed in the 70's that prevent testing by employeer on the grounds of muh discrimination. Since then it's gotten progressively tougher to get a decent job. This is why you now need a degree and experience to get a job at anywhere but fucking Taco Bell.

Second job I got from just applying, but manager to get a friend a job there also.
Third job a friend told me about, and I worked that job with said friend.
Fourth job I was told about by a friend who worked there.
Fifth job I got through a friend taking me to a job fair. Both of us got jobs at the place.
Sixth job I got directly through a friend.
I've never been fired, I've always just gone from job to slightly better job while still in employment. I wouldn't have gotten into half of those jobs without knowing people, and I've gotten people jobs on multiple occasions.
I'd say a LOT of people are in similar situations. It's about who you know, and who can put in a good word for.

>No they're wrong. Laws were passed in the 70's that prevent testing by employeer on the grounds of muh discrimination
Can you provide a source? Do these logic tests that online apps have you take not count as you're not "employed" but merely an applicant?
>>33643486
dude, i dont know if you had a sheltered life or if you've just forgotten, but we were just as bad at that age, maybe even worse.
The older generations hated our music and clothes, and we wasted time drinking too much, chasing girls, getting in fistfights over stupid shit, and generally being little shitheads. The difference is there was still an economy and some hope when we settled down. Things in the country were looking up in the early 2000s.
The millenials, on the other hand, know their fucked. Of course there's some self destructive nihilism there.
>>33643324
>>Just because you paid to be educated for a job, doesn't meant you deserve a job
>>I paid taxes therefore I deserve a pension
LOL your brain is really broken if you think those even equate to the same thing.
>>33644881
Well shit son, someone has to do it.
My aunt has her fucking CPA, which is insane enough as it is, and her job at a corporation only pays her forty thousand a year.
My 33rd birthday comes up in a few months.I pay $275 a month in rent. (Yes, it's me again!) I work on the Internet. I usually don't wear clothes for days on end except when I'm going out.
I'm finally living the fucking dream.
(By the way, kids, sending out random applications gets you PRECISELY JACK SHIT- I worked a LOT of jobs before this one, and they were all shit because I got picked up by temp agencies and call centers and other dogshit)
>>33644830
>>>/vr/

What's with the github bullshit are you a retard?
"Lel if you coded anything worthwhile, surely it's an open source github project".
Not everyone is an opensource cunt. I wrote plenty of code, it's just closed source, because I like getting actually paid for my work. Everytime a prospective employer says github repositories are what really interests them, I know I'm talking to a moron who is just jumping on the lastest IT HR train.
>>33644850
You didn't look very close. It varies by location. Startup fees on some of them are as low at 175k TOTAL.
I love how every autistic fuck claims they fill out 100 job applications without any luck when in reality they sit on the computer all day every day.

>>33644961
>sheltered life
You didn't even bother reading my post at all. I even said a lot of it is chalked up to youth. The one and main difference is that Millenials lack people skills a lot more compared to when I was their age.
>>33644961
>Things in the country were looking up in the early 2000s.
BULL FUCKING SHIT.
I applied to a lot of shitty jobs RIGHT AFTER FUCKING 9/11. (Fun fact: 9/11 changed almost nothing. People's reactions to it changed practically everything.)
I'm tired of the shit pay. If I get treated like shit at work, I expect at least a good wage.
I'm really debating whether to rough it down in texas and work oil.
>ITT: White Males
You're bottom of the barrel now. I almost pity you.
>yfw all your education was for nothing
>yfw business owners get to hire you for free, ditch you whenever they want and hire another sucker at the drop of a hat
>yfw they laugh all the way to the bank and you never earn a cent
How does it feel to be the most fucked generation of all time, /pol/? How does it feel to know the world is laughing at your misery?
My mother and grandmother used to give me the stereotypical boomer advice.
I took her advice eagerly, and with enthusiasm. Every place I sent an app to I would come in at least twice, ask to speak to the manager. Shake his hand, look him in the eye. I was clean shaven and well dressed, and used all the magic phrases. Offered to work for a week for free just to show them I was willing.
I am still unemployed, but, at least she's shut the fuck up.
>>33645023
>still skirting around the fact that bare minimum effort is submitting an application or resume, anything past that isn't BARE MINIMUM FUCKING EFFORT
I hope you get into a fatal crash sometime soon you blithering faggot.
>>33645007
Worse, I edit shitastic articles written by retards who have no idea what the fuck they're talking about.
Since I get paid by the edit, however, I don't have to do anything I don't want to. (A critical perk.)
What's the air force or navy like? I'm thinking of fighting for Israel since they're always hiring.
>>33644916
Do what you gotta do bro. Adjust to the situation instead of bitching about it.
>>33642695
>boomer parents
lol sucks to be you lot my parents were based gen x
Also if you treat finding a job like a job - as in put in 40 solid hours a week actively looking - you will find a job. You can't just sit at home putting in applications like a moron you have to walk around and introduce yourself to people.
>>33645105
>>33645115
Lel. Sounds like it would get old fast, but money is money. Working from home is fucking great.

Oldfag here.
I remember as student I would ask the boomer teacher a question, and they would always say "You don't know that?" Instead of answering the question.
Any students nowadays have to put up with that shit? A baby boomer with a teaching job trying to hide information from you instead of doing their fucking job and teaching.
Curious to see if this generation of fucktards teaching do the same thing.
>>33645166
>Sounds like it would get old fast
You don't even know. You don't even want to know.
But it beats sitting in a fucking tard-office being treated like shit by one and all.

In the UK we can do that as long as you call it "work experience."
They make you do it if you're on Job Seekers for too long.

Ah, the good old-fashioned stress interview. Somebody, probably a troll, decided to tell HR smacktards that the best way to find somebody to hire was to verbally mob him just like that.

It sounds like people aren't mad at boomers as much as they're mad at dumb people who dont understand what a shitty economy is

why not care for a husband instead of shitting up the job market for the rest of us
I have my sysadmin job because I became friends with friends I made who happened to work in the fashion industry who go to the same social clubs I do. With only a BS in compsci and a few certs, I beat out MS's and others with years of experience.
It isn't any different than it was 50 years and will be in the next 50 years. In all but the most precision jobs, familiarity > merits, every single time. It's who you know. Always will be until robots become our employers.
>>33645293
>posting information on /pol/ about how to join my job
>shitting where I eat
>>33645248
I didn't experience any of that.
But I do worry about the next generation. There are tons of grads going into teaching because they can't find work anywhere else.
I might be wrong about this but I've always maintained that the best teachers are the ones with some life experience.
>>33645010
Worst part about working in this industry is the type of faggot that you have to work with. They're the kind of people that watch TED talks and think they're changing the future.
>>33645348
>LOL I would not want to share any info with your sorry asses either.
Sounds like you'd make a good boomer teacher :^).

Fine Art graduate here. (I know it's a shit degree, don't bother)
But my tutor was telling me how she is friends with someone who resides with some really famous artist in America.
I was like "So...are you going to introduce me or something?" (not out of place. We were having a tutorial and talking about opportunities etc etc)
Nope. Didn't want to give away her secrets. Full well knowing that being an artist is hard as fuck.
Tutors/teachers are the worst people to turn to. They won't to hoard all the knowledge for themselves

Anyways, besides my salt, gratz.
>All this angst
Stop crying like a bunch of faggots. No wonder you faggots have a hard time finding jobs, you cry and cry like little faggots just because you don't get what you want
>>33645268
That's okay, it's just a test to see how you react under stress, it's pretty common really. They don't expect you to answer every question correctly or in details, they just wanna see if you are likely to lose face. Now if you say you froze completely ...
As a x generation member I see it as much harder to get a job, when I was a kid there were a lot more independent companies and a lot of the owners felt it was their duty to hire kids and teach them how to be professional, plus there weren't mexicans or NAFTA so there were always entry level construction and manufacturing jobs you could get.
>>33645380
Because we dual income now. Everyone is expected to work. It's not women's fault.

Yet you were JUST doing that, what the fuck man? All I'm asking is the name of the company if it actually exists, I'm not asking for your phone number and the right to use Anon E. Moose as a reference. A referral to an email of the company if it only does dealings online, a fucking url, anything. That's all I'm asking here.

>>33645482
>It's not women's fault.
It is and it isn't. It's the fault of feminist retards that thought shoehorning themselves into any comfy, cozy, well-paying job in the 60's and 70's and beyond was a good idea. Look how that backfired! Women are more miserable than ever.
>>33645482

What were you expecting? A working wage without doing the work?

>>33645344
Nope. I've done this at every place within 5 miles of where I live, and several further out than that, including places very far away that I could reach with public transportation, as I do not have a car.
I applied online. I wrote up a resume including my work experience and my experience volunteering, and sent that in, and then, within a day or two of submitting it (most often the same day) I would go in and ask to speak to the manager. Oftentimes I would get told he/she was out, or busy. (I would come back later in that case) When he wasn't, I introduced myself, told him I'd love to work on his team, shook his hand, and looked him straight in the eye. If he didn't immediately shoot me down with "Sorry we're not hiring" I would sell myself as hard as I could, saying I'm a hard worker, I value punctuality, and I would love a chance to prove myself, etc. All the boomer catchphrases.
I have no major personality disorders. I look normal, speak normally, etc. I have no trouble conversing with people anywhere.
It just turns out that in an economy where college degrees are worth less than high school diplomas were 40 years ago, with unemployment rates that highest they've been since the great depression, and diversity quotas and shit, that it's actually just nearly impossible to find a job without nepotism.
>>33645472

>>33643465
> not making your facebook private so potential employers can't look at it
>>33645392
This is my only logical career path. Currently 21 and unemployed with a degree in computer science. Since i'm a dude and my country has something like 10:1 female:male teacher ratio i figure i've got a pretty good chance, all i have to do is take a 1 year (accelerated) course to get approved for teaching, with 6 months of those being in school work placement.
I don't want to do it firstly because i agree with you and think i would be a terrible teacher, secondly because i fucking hate children.
But the longer i have my degree without working the more useless it becomes. It's my only option at this point for a long term career that isn't soulless retail supervisor, which is effectively the same job as a highschool teacher, babysitting 14-17 year olds who completely fucking suck.
>>33645677
Until you woman walk out of the offices en masse this shit will continue. It's up to women to make the change peacefully. The value of our labor (I mean all people now) has diminished because there's more motherfuckers that want the jobs than there are jobs obviously, and how many fucking minorities/women are creating businesses? 2manyleeches4society

When can I start?
>>33645784
So 100 exactly. That's the magic number. once you send in exactly 100, you are guaranteed a job, yeah? Cuz I'm probably only like 5 or 6 away. Do duplicates count? If not, what if there aren't 100 businesses within transportation distance for me? Do I apply for some that I have no hope of being able to get myself to just to get closer to 100?
And that doesn't vary from region to region? It's the same in California as it is in Kansas?

Pretty sure you need a degree for that.

So take out some loans. Four years of seminary isn't that expensive.
It also depends on what denomination you go to. I go to a United Methodist church and they have a training program you can opt into instead of seminary. Takes longer but it's free and you can work and raise a family while you do it.
