Why are millennials college grads working in the service field for minimum wage?
>>

Because you're a faggot

Because someone even mildly competent makes far more than minimum wage as wait staff.

Because they take what they can get after they found out that college was a timewasting, expensive scam.

>>55466163
Some people expect college to be a magic place where you get a ticket to cash in for a free job at the end. You still need to put in effort to make connections, have personal projects, and then find the job when you graduate.

It doesn't matter whether you're have an art degree or a chemical engineering degree: if you put in effort you will find a job in your field and if you don't put in effort expecting a job to fall into your lap you'll get jack shit.

Because boomers are too self-entitled to stop spending money instead of saving and hog the jobs that millenials are qualified for, then blame it on millenials for being lazy.

Yeah that's probably it.

The problem is we are deliberately raised by the capitalist structure to behave irrationally. Whether you're raised a creationist evangelical or a hippie leftist - the dominant cultural ethos is based on manipulating your feels and not on promoting the health of society.

You are blaming youthful victims for falling prey to criminal baby boomers who had no desire to properly teach and raise a generation.

Yes, they are victims of irresponsible adults who want to push propaganda in the name of education.

Because liberals shipped their job opportunities to other countries like China, other asian and hispanic countries.

>inb4 durr u dunt want a factory jerb making pennies

These factory workers, they have supervisors right? Do you think they hire an american and ship him/her to china? Most of them can't even speak the language not to mention the costs. It happens but VERY RARE. So they hire chinese supervisors. They'll hire chinese engineers too, whether they are subpar compared to the american engineer or not. The reason they went to asia was to save money and make more profit.

Those supervisors need a general manager, Chinese. Then there's the security guards, Chinese. All these workers work tons of hours so here comes the booming service industry, restaurants, laundry mat --- they can become entrepreneur and open their own businesses.

Well you say, why don't people just open businesses in the US and become their own owner? There's service businesses that have been in business for DECADES. It's hard to compete with those. You think you can open a burger joint and compete with all the fast food and diners already on every corner?

Along with the fact that our economy has been on the slow decline for over a decade now. There are at times 500 unemployed people competing for one job opening. With no manufacturing jobs to fall back on, it has and will only get worst.

Liberalism did this and America can only blame itself.

Because they're not in STEM. Non-STEM fields should just not be removed from universities with the exception of Business (Acc/Fin/Econ)

Factory workers made really good money before.
The products were reasonably priced and built to last.


Then we shipped the factories over seas, they make shit tier quality stuff that breaks in a couple of years, and they jacked up the cost on most of it.

All the while they pay their new workers peanuts.

This happened even with fucking import tax.

Just imagine if the lolbertarians get their way with their "free market".

Free markets benefit only the merchants.

We really need someone who will look out for the common man.

I graduated with 162k of debt in May 2014 and despite graduating with High Honors in Poly Sci I had to accept minimum wage work at a Mail Boxes Etc in Manhattan.

All that talk of $15 per hour is a lot of crap. In order for me to pay off my student loans, live in a decent apartment and have a life I believe I am entitled to at least $45 an hour with 40 hours per week guaranteed.

That is why I am voting for Bernie

Holy shit, if you vote for Bernie you'll just get laid off your minimum wage job because you are probably a lazy faggot that produces less value than a half-homeless roody poo.

>uninronically going 162k in debt

If you ever reach 6 figure debt on a loan without anything to back it up, you should just be mercy-killed for being that much of a retard.

Doesn't matter how good your grades are/were.

You are a fucking failure.

>didn't go to college

It's awesome. Thank God my family isn't retarded. Never went to college, and I never will. It simply isn't necessary.

because modern technology has made people obsolete and they don't realize it yet

I'm an electrical engineer and I'm not immune to it (if not automation, I'll probably be replaced by a currynigger in a few years)
>>
>>55469092
as of now there's one area immune to the curry menace, military contractors. Also hipster apps dedicated to making the youth stupider

all going as planned of course, all the smart people are only available to help make WWIII more brutal
>>
Dropped out of school before debts were crushing. Worked in industry for almost 10 years. Payed off debts.
Got myself an apartment, paying off the loan is about the same rate as renting a place.
Now, unemployed, however, in some "get people back into work"-project the right-ist government have created (taking away any drive I have to actually find a job), I already have all benefits of a job (social, have something to do, good enough money to live off) with less work. I am free to pursue my love of being a soccer-coach, painting, videogames and tv-series.

To be honest, I feel like I beat the system.

This x1000. Our society is becoming so advanced to the point where we won't need work anymore. Instead people will be at "school" their whole lives (ideally).
