'Generation Stuck' on NPR disappreciation[views:29078][posts:134]________________________________ [Dec 5,2012 10:16am - xmikex ""] This country needs more milksteak |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 5,2012 10:57am - Alx_Casket ""] I started working odd jobs when I was 8 and haven't stopped for more than a few months in between jobs since. I get bored if I sit around for too long and have a tough time making it through a movie. When my friends were out competing over fast food/retail jobs in high school, I was wiping old people's assholes in a nursing home and making $12/hr. I realized that healthcare was a rewarding field with a fairly stable pathway and that's how I chose the field to work in. Worked my way through high school, college, and grad school and I'm very grateful for all the opportunities that I damn-well earned. If I had been encouraged to pursue my interests in engineering/design, I would probably be building robots now. If money grew on trees, I'd be draining my creativity every day. Unfortunately, there's no safe future in music or art, so I didn't buy an education in one of those fields. Between work and music/personal life, I feel like I lead separate existences. It keeps life interesting and balanced. I think a lot of people (not just the "kids these days") aim to lead a single existence that's satisfying and fulfilling to them, and it's becoming exceedingly harder to find that anymore. There was some talk earlier in this thread about being thankful that we have it better than some 3rd world country inhabitant, and while I agree with that in general, one should expect a higher quality of life living in a developed country. The dream of growing up to be whatever you want to be is pretty weak right now, and that's ok. There are no more applications to be astronauts in NASA these days. |

I'm aware that the point of the segment I was talking about in OP was basically just referring to this, I was just saying that if they went about it in a less whiny fashion and stopped acting like victims of some horrible holocaust of living quality, their plight might generate a bit more sympathy. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 5,2012 11:48am - iteY ""] now that i work in a "real" job, i lament the loss of shitty jobs. i had way more fun working in factories and fast food doing shit work for shit money. this office crap is for the birds. |

The number of capable, interested people who have been talked out of pursuing science careers is ridiculous. People told me throughout my childhood and early 20s that I shouldn't chase a job in tech ("You'll work twice as hard for half the recognition," which is not totally untrue), it's only due to real love of the work and an oppositional-defiant streak that I'm here at all. But it's not just a gender thing, plenty of people have backed away slowly from STEM jobs after being told over and over again that it's not something that could possibly be enjoyable or that it isn't going to have a career track for them |
| _______________________________ [Dec 5,2012 2:38pm - xmikex ""] My girlfriend is a scientist and there is quite a bit of BS involved in the STEM industry. Yeah there's a big job market for it, but it's so crammed with people with similar experience levels that it's basically gone the same way any other industry does when it gets a surplus like this "oh hai, we're hiring for way less than what this job should pay. don't like it? get lost and we'll find someone desperate enough to do it." |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 5,2012 2:42pm - arilliusbm ""] I work fulltime as a cynical asshole. I suggest you guys do the same. |
| _________________________________________ [Dec 5,2012 2:52pm - largefreakatzero ""] Cynical asshole can make a good career. I'm working on perfecting hateful prick. I have one friend in the science field -- a biologist for NHF&G. He's a hardcore fisherman and loves his job, but he doesn't make very much money and had to spend several years making even less doing grunt work at the hatchery, putting in volunteer hours, and so on to have F&G even consider him. But again, he's pretty much got a job for life and loves it. |

| ____________________________________ [Dec 6,2012 11:30am - trioxin245 ""] just because someone doesnt know what dried milk toast is doesnt mean they are some spoiled little brat. Theres plenty of inner city kids who have never heard of that shit who had it much worse than you did. Fucking ridiculous people ITT man, let me tell you. |

| _______________________________ [Dec 6,2012 11:42am - Hoser ""] I assure you that there are few who lived on food stamps, whose father worked 3 jobs while his mother was trying to get through nursing school, and whose kids HAD to have jobs at 12 years old only to turn their earnings over to Mom and Dad in order to eat. I assure you that there was no such thing as the internet, cell phones, or even PC's that weren't a Commodore 64 (bit that is), which nobody could afford. I just get sick of all the entitled little dickheads that post here. I understand that it's my choice to read their wordy, "look at my vast knowledge of the English vocabulary" bullshit....Alas, it gives me something to get pissed off about. You do understand that most of the know-it-all douchebags that post here still live with their parents, right? Don't buy into their horse shit, dude. There's something to say about being blunt...and I respect it a hell of a lot more than some vocabulary rich drivel that doesn't actually amount to a hill of dogshit in the long run. Words are for politicians and men who try to talk their way out of a fight. Sweat and blood are the only thing that comes out of a true man. |
