Generation Jobless

[buffdnet]

either you're top notch (3-5 guys per year who can really choose their jobs) or you have to take whatever you get (or you're in your parents basement for the next 40 years).

I was a card carrying cement mason for 5 years. if i had to pick up my tools
again i know for a fact i could get work. maybe not the money i would want
but then again i held a union journeymans card for 5 years so i can always go back
as a trial man and get work and be almost paid what i'm worth,

those who have been out of work along time and whine won't take a job
stacking boxes. because they know it would cause pain and discomfort and
involve doing something physical. omg we can't have that. and all of you know
this cuz we all train and do that for fun

[JOHN MATRIX]

you guys ever see Peter Schiff's commentary on college costs? 

no but tell me more, ill look into it

[buffdnet]

the modern university system, and capitalism as well, is just a huge scam which keeps the same tiny minority rich by (legally) exploiting the shit out of the rest of the population.

no our monetary system is what does this.  think about it, a dollar bill
is not a dollar bill. it's a federal reserve note to be used debt created out of thin air.
backed by the full faith of our goverment which backs this air with more air in the
form of government bonds.
this is where the scam lies and we haven't talked about interest. where does that
come from? thin air? yep cuz all money is debt back by the faith of nothing.

this system keeps those who rule this country (federal reserve bankers) rich.

I hear ya. I was a glass cutter for a few years. The job is always there if I need it.

[Agnostic007]

No.  I believe in eliminating the charade and hiring on the spot, first come first serve, filling jobs for those who need or want to work. 

As a guy who has hired employees for his own business, the above statement is just plain silly

[leadhead]

it's very rough in south florida... construction died, tourism is down, and half the houses on every block seem to be foreclosed.  

But if you hustle, you can always find a way to get by.  I have a few avenues... but if all that fell thru, I'd either go back to teaching, or have sex with unattractive MILFs for $25 a pop.

It's bad in north Florida also but nothing compared to down there your way.

Networking will always be the best way to get a job. It's how I got mine and it's how I got my brother his. It's not what you know, it's WHO you know- you can bank on that shit. I have a degree from a respectable college but I beat out several other grads with masters and more experience lol

lol imagine hiring somoene on the spot to take care of clients' need's, budget appropriately and show the skill set required for that given profession hahhahahahah ....here you go, our client is Johnson and Johnson, the project is worth up to 1 Mill. , since you got here first I will assume that you will be fully prepared for the task ahead ...

"Yes sir, I understand this is Hooters and I'm male, but I was here first dammit!"

[Soul Crusher]

If only people would have listened.    No - instead we got a marxist/socialist hack at 1600 PA. Ave. 

[Soul Crusher]

If you guys want to learn in one hour what you did not learn in your entire college career, listen to this and wake up. 

[Soul Crusher]

And last but not least - best ever clip from Schiff. 

But you idiot libs keep listening to hacks and fools like obama, krugman, etc.        

No one called it as accurate as Peters did, no one.   

[buffdnet]

It's not what you know, it's WHO you know

true except in the case you do work most other cannot or will not
do. part of the reason i did concrete work.
when I started it was known as a black mans trade.
no whitey wanted to work that hard.
until they found out about the money.
i enjoyed it. i helped create something that is visible from outerspace.
how many can say they created somthing viewable from space.
i have, google earth proves it.
but yea i know i'ma bad ass old man. and none ya should ever forget that
less i have to get all disturbia on yo candy ass.

wanna hit this?

[tonymctones]

Uh, whats the point it does not make sense and is certainly not valid across the board.  Besides how is it even "on topic".

Furthermore, I can name hundreds of Private Universities that don`t pay near as well as State Schools.

Private does not automatically mean that the jobs will pay more money or equate to being of a better quality.

LOL thats b/c public universities are a BUSINESS TOO YOU DUMB ASS...you pay tuition to go to public university, what do you pay to go to school up until high school? property taxes....

you used the analogy of teachers and football players to try and say that the "important" jobs dont get paid more...but you didnt compare equivilant scenarios...

atheletes contribute very significantly to the profitability of the team they play for...what type of profitability to teachers contribute to public grade schools?  

"important" means that they contribute to the bottom line in this sense...

You defintly make a strong point right there... If you have the right connections, your set... Sooooo many people get the jobs because they know someone, and not because of what they know or what they can do. Its a shitty world we live in when you know you are higly qualified for a job and someone else gets it because they happen to know eachother... Cold, but fair........

I posted this clip awhile ago. I believe it's the greatest youtube, ever. A modern day Galileo with a bunch of fools laughing at the truthteller. If Ben Stein had any shame, he would've committed Hari Kari, "The financials are a buying opportunity unlike anything I've seen in my life." lmao.

For those who don't want to watch the long clip, what he's saying, in a nutshell, is that everything the government touches it screws up and sends prices skyward: college, healthcare, not to mention wars that go on forever and cost trillions.

[roccoginge]

watching the video,  it seems the hillbilly from PA just does not have the charisma to make good money.  It takes intelligence and personality to make it to the top.  Good speaking skills are a must.

[Soul Crusher]

And people still laugh at him!  

Despite the fact the Schiff has been mostly spot on, naysayers still don't listen to him and choose to follow complete degenerate hacks like obama, krugman, friedman, and others.  

[Thin Lizzy]

never happen as long as the focus is on college sports.
the football coach at ohio state is paid 1-2 million a year. why?
must be a demand huh. and it's huge. ask any pro scout

Most college sports programs don't show a profit, but, you're right, the big sports schools will survive, and, Harvard and Yale aren't going anywhere. It's the 2nd and 3rd tier schools that will die off, as they clearly aren't providing value for the $$ they charge. Kids aren't going to keep going into massive debt to go a mediocre college only to not get a job upon graduation.

[Purple Aki]

the army is always recruiting

I'm rejoining in 12 days.

Civvy life is shit.

You can teach any skill, especially for the piece of shit job/task you just described.  In World War II, flight instructors taught 18 year olds how to run night bombing missions, flying blind and only off rudimentary instruments.  The same for fighter pilots at the time.

Don`t tell me your piece of shit HR job is even remotely close to the difficulty of the above task.

As opposed to signing Crummey statements yearly to get your distribution from the trust fund and tell everyone else how to live while you yourself have never run a business or project?

I am not telling you how to live.  I want you to live without restrictions.  For instance, if you are gay, I want you to have all the freedom and opportunity that you should have.  I don`t want you paying exorbitant taxes either.  I`d like a Socialist National Sales Tax with no tax on Used Goods and Essential Items to life and a Single Payer Universal Healthcare system along with idiots who want Private additional Insurance. (not that they will need it).

I think you deserve these things. So imagine being a gay man and being able to marry your longtime sweetheart in the Bronx, not paying any taxes other than you spend so you have full control over your finances and being able to see a doctor and not worry about going bankrupt or being treated.

I think you would be happy my friend.

Also, Schiff knows the value of inheriting money.  His dad was not exactly poor if you remember.

What was the last job you've worked, Adonis?
