I’m a millenial. I kinda agree with you. It is a bit entitled, until you look at the data. but then that data doesn’t often reflect the reality of what pay should be.. A responsible person should ask for a little bit more than what others think they’re worth as a negotiating tool to get to a lower price that they’ll…

I have a Master of Science degree from George Mason University.

25k starting out!!!! holy crap that’s a pipe dream to many many people her age!!!! including me!! a full time job is also a pipe dream. they’re like these magical unattainable things that I see everyone seems to be able to have but me.

he forgets inflation plus increase of living and pay cuts.

yep and that firm is playing a dangerous game as someone can record their harassment and hostile work environment and sue them summarily for breaking the law.. I know they’re lawyers, but with enough evidence you can win. it does take money and connections, but it’s worth trying to build it up, even maybe uploading…

oh dude. check out Search for Common Ground. I’m not sure if they still do it ,but they use to require a master’s degree and atleast 2 years of work experience for an unpaid internship positon

it probably isn’t true or a bit overstated because he says this, but has that person actually attended a graduate level course in your school of engineering. Having obtained my master of science degree, I can tell you that it wasn’t a cake walk, and to even get into the program, I had to be fluent in a second…

I remember reading an article talking about how it’s more reasonable and actually responsible for a 20 year old to just get a bunch of credit cards, and go on world-wide trip to exotic locations, and max those cards out. Eventually that experience will allow them to find a job if not in America but somewhere else, and…

you graduated high school in 2000 when the economy was in a dot com bust, but then summarily improved until 2008 when the real mess went down for most millennials. IF you weren’t old enough to be in the job market before 2008 you were screwed out of it before you had a chance. IF you get a job, hold on for dear life,…

PhDs need to go into consulting. IF they can’t do it in America they need to do it in another country. I’ll be honest. With a master’s degree and a PhD you literally have access to the global job market, and lots of entrepreneurial opportunities. This is why I kinda left the US as I saw the writing on the wall as I…

private sector isn’t perfect, teachers in private and charter schools are also underpaid. Social workers and humanitarian aid workers who work in the private and non-profit sector are also consistently less paid than public workers and often sometimes are forced into stints that are often unpaid. with promises that…

it’s weird how they blame a core part of what makes modern culture and civilization what it is today. but I also think it’s a move to get people away from fields of study that involve critical thinking and analysis of the big picture in the society and world we live in. instead focus on technical degrees that are…

DC is super competitive, not just for teaching positions either. There are so many with master degrees and phds there, plus very very unique work experience, many are world traveled and multi-lingual. That if you don’t move to that city without the unique experience and connections then you won’t make it very far.. I…

exactly. in my home state of oklahoma, teacher’s take home pay is 15k and the state is threatening to make even deeper cuts in that salary claiming it’s waaay too much to pay teachers per year.

I ended up starting my own business too after I Realized employment isn’t the way out.. gonna move to germany later this year to start my phd. fully funded, and I’m paid to be there too.

Thank you so much!!! I worked as an educator once, and it didn’t pay enough and I got harassed out of the job. The demands they had put on me was waaaaayy too much. and the pay was already low and when I first started working as a teacher the school decided it was a good idea to pro-rate my salary from the get-go. I…

non-partisan so republicans shut it down. this was during the rise of the new conservative movement. then it just transformed into the beast of the Bush years. we're slowly recovering, but again republicans are trying to stop that recovery as much as possible and even openly say that. Things have gotten better, but…

Yea, people do not realize that technology has been devolving into the dichotomy of the consumer society. if you can't sell it then it's not worth anything attitude. It's very destructive and it is the only thing that will keep us from being a space faring species.
