this article is extremely misleading. i have a cousin who was a medieval history and ancient languages phd. there were like 8 positions open in the entire us after he got his phd. and that was considered good. he had to go to ontario to find a position and he got lucky since i think it took him six months and he still was earning a living during that time.

it really depends on your phd. humanities phds are different than stem ones (but stem you still need to be on top of things. also be very wary about academia, otherwise poo poo like the article happens).

I don't feel sorry for people who get expensive yet worthless degrees going hungry for the same reason I don't feel bad for people who buy in to ponzi and pyramid schemes, because you really have to be a complete goddamed idiot to do it

i do if it was 2008 or before where people were fed the line of bullshit about degrees and the prestige of expensive private schools. nowadays there is no guarantee that a degree will give you a job. though with the sort of phd this person went for, that should have been obvious.


That line of bullshit has existed since academia took the role of educator from the church, though. There have been hundreds of years of history for a loving History major to be able to put two and two together on. I mean it's cool pursuing what you love, I get that. But the reality of it is that if you can't afford to feed yourself while doing it, then it's not a career, its an expensive hobby. I've seen heroin addicts with more sense than this. At least they drown out their idiocy with drugs than trying to convince people they're no complete jackasses who've pissed away their opportunities.

I was trying to educate myself on what the whole CisGender/gender fluidity thing that millenials have started and googled it.

I had no clue you could be a "third gender" or even 4th gender, but going down that wiki rabbit hole led to some weird things.


I think if I was to identify as anything I'd want to be a Cis-male who identifies as a coke can, in hopes that someone who's sexual identity involves rear end play would shove me up their rear end in a top hat.

Am I millenialling correctly?

quote:

I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I'm loving retarded but I don't care, I'm beautiful. I'm having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me "Apache" and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can't accept me you're a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding.

If you're trying to get a government job in the US and you're not former military or the child/spouse of someone E-8+, O-5+, or GS-12+, you're gonna end up either unemployed or working for a 32k a year contractor where you'll never promote upward unless you're super amiable/charismatic.

I have a few friends with wives young enough to be considered millennials and it always cracks me up to hear them bitching about their government contracting gigs, like being first on the phone tech support for army.mil mail and a few less-than-TS networks is any different than the Sears Appliance Call Center. It's even funnier when we, as former military assholes who had to occasionally deal with civilians in similar jobs try to explain that they aren't doing anything more important or streamlined than the kid at the T-Mobile store telling grandpa how to hard-boot his phone. Not to mention the US Army email system is way less secure than any single cell-phone carrier's. They just think having a government job means its going to pay well and promote often, when the reality is they sure as hell don't for people without incredibly desirable skill sets.

Not that i should complain, my career arc was Marines -> Community College -> Prison Guard -> Internet Bachelor's -> Working for my older brother's company making 72k/yr.

Nah, it's kinda weird and unspoken. Like the Boomers and the WW2/Korea guys really don't interact at a lot of Veteran's organizations and when they do it's tense as gently caress, but there's a drat near instant bond they can get guys in their 40s-30s who were in. Maybe it's because we're the same age as their grandkids, maybe it's something else. But I've always noticed it

tell yourself that if it makes you feel better but I talk woodworking with some 90 year old WWII vets and they make it very clear that they're disappointed not with my generation or yours, but with every human being who doesn't work with their hands and who won't fist fight for what they believe in

this puts the average generation x person slightly below the average millennial kid growing his own weed in terms of the value of their life to the oldest toughest men on the planet

You realize this is in the context of veterans talking to one another, right? Not just some random kid talking to them, but someone with a similar background. Because WW2 vets normally don;t like the Vietnam era guys, I mean I know it might sound silly, but a lot of those guys see Vietnam as a disgrace and blame it on the poor bastards forced to fight there.

Tattooing and piercing has been done for centuries.

The term "body modification" has been around since at least 1996, coined by a man born in 1941. It was the subtitle of the second edition of his 1987 book.

I'm one of the few men to go through the Marines and never get a tat. It's because I always legit considered myself too attractive to deface my body with permanent ink.

My brother is a former Marine pilot, I think a big reason he never got one was because he hated every Marine stereotype he encountered in Qunatico and Pensacola
