Exactly, just look at the statistics for unemployed/underemployed college graduates in the US. Conservatives would have you believe all of them just earned useless majors like women's studies or liberal arts, I see the meme's all the time. Look at the statistics for homeless veterans, were all those guys "lazy" too?
It's a lack of compassion and sense of empathy for fellow citizens and it's used as tinder by pundits and politicians that get them to hate down and blame poor people for all the worlds problems.
So how do you express your compassion and empathy? Just curious how you're helping save the world.
And yes, the system sucks when working behind a Hertz customer service counter requires a college degree. Total BS. But the current generation has bought into the game hook, line, and sinker. The economy is screaming for welders, CNC machine tool operators, HVAC, electric utility linemen, etc. They're good jobs that you can raise a family on. The IBEW and many employers will pay for training but there are very few takers, mostly because you need a modicum of high school trigonometry and pshhh...who had time for that, right? Pass the blunt.
I'm in the 1% and nobody gave me shit. I dug ditches and piloted a school bus while I went to night school and learned programming. I've built and sold three tech companies and I've never paid off a politician or made a single buck off the backs of the poor, starving proletariat. There are thousands like me. I know a guy who's as rich as God and he got his start hanging from skyscrapers in a harness washing windows. Went door to door and said he'd do the first job for free to prove his worth. Now he owns the biggest exterior maintenance company in America. And he never passed the 10th grade. Best read guy I've ever met.
Yeah I'm lucky that I was born in the USA and that my parents, who didn't have college degrees or silver spoons to hand out, instilled into me a strong work ethic and a complete lack of victim mentality (which the current generation has in spades).
Quit your bitching and get to work.
PS I've started a small business that hires only vets. What have you done?
