My grandparents were silent generation, they owned their home in their 30's as well as a 170 hectare farm and a fruit shop, they didn't have it that bad aside from world war 2 which my grandfather missed by weeks.


Australia might be slightly different, but at some point we need to compare the quality of life.

Depends on the school honestly. I know some schools where 60%+ of the grads are essentially unemployed, even in the stem majors.

Nowadays you have to go to a top 20-ish school



You can make decent money with Uber/Lyft depending on where you live.


That's a bunch of crap, you need to be willing to relocate. If someone like me can make it thru anyone can.

I'm confused as to what this post is exactly about.



How framing this proposition (my OP) within the context of hourly employment makes it seem less crazy than it actually is.

As an individual imagine asking another individual to drive to your house, not get paid for the commute, do whatever I say for 60 minutes and at the end I’ll pay you 8.26 and then take some of that back.

The lunacy us lower class whores get to have presented to us every day.

I get that this is the incentive to go to college, vocational school, etc but fuck this lol


UBI is the only thing that makes sense.

How much illegal workers get per hour in US ?
I'm talking about the ones waiting in the morning for a job, waiting for the guy with a trunk to take them.

If you're an able-bodied person then GI Bill might be for you.

You are good to question the status quo advice. The USA has a lot of fuckery when it comes to people and wages, and its ever changing. For example, a high school level student teacher (graduate student) will work ~12 weeks without pay/benefits and pay for the slavery experience. Does that seem right to you?

Kamahl16, perhaps you could re-locate to improve your 'lower class' situation? For example, I could rent a modest sized flat in rural MN for 4 months, but only get 1 month in the Twin Cities for similar rent. Personally, 'lower class whoring' seems more like a city symptom in my region. There are def poor sobs out here, but they are really good at fixing shit with crappy parts.

Relocation helps, but for ChemE for example, there are ~10,000 new grads per year but only ~3,000 jobs in good fit areas. Because colleges overaccept students, a fixed amount will always lose.

Work harder bishes and save up your cash instead of blowing it all. That's all you've got to do and you're fine. Be glad you're free people in a free country and not numbers in a communist shit hole.

It's a reflection on your worth of what others see you.
