It's not about boot straps, it's about actually doing something with your life. People like this just refuse to take responsibility for their own careers rather than cry about how life is unfair because they might have to work a lovely job for a year - seriously, one whole year, which makes me wonder how long this person even lasted - before being handed their dream job. Also, lol at anyone comparing this situation to real poverty. This is just an entitled brat crying to an echo chamber.

OxMan posted:I feel like no one in this thread that talks about the bay area has actually lived here the last few years. A room in san jose for 500? Only in the ghetto, and that's IF you're lucky. We live in a 2 bedroom that costs 1450 a month in a neighborhood that has the street blocked off by the police once a week and has practically no insulation and shaking windows every time the wind blows. 250 of those bucks in the last 2 years. I have friends in SF that pay that much for a studio in the tenderloin (hella ghetto for you non cali folk). poo poo has gotten insanely unlivable here, to the point where various grassroots groups are starting to pop up to try and slow down the insane rate rent is going up because everyone is living with their parents in low income housing on food stamps and are still unable to make ends meet. The elderly are expected to live off not even a grand in social security, somehow. My family and myself are actually leaving CA next month because outside of New York basically anywhere else is more reasonable. poo poo is really bad here. Like yeah homegirl is an idiot, but poo poo is still really hosed. Great, so you're doing the right thing then? When I graduated from college I didn't move back to Detroit because, similar to what you're saying about the Bay Area, it wasn't going to provide opportunities for me to support myself or my family. People were all 'lol of course Detroit sucks and there's no jobs' and this isn't much of a different situation. You can't live on 20k/yr in San Francisco (or anywhere in the Bay) so don't try. The fact that this person actually moved to the Bay Area knowing that this was the case is what is truly mind boggling. The people who deserve sympathy and help are those who are stuck and cannot afford to move - the single mothers who make up the majority of the cafeteria workers and other service workers at the tech companies, for example. Not the dumb poo poo whose career aspirations add up to 'forums superstar'.

Bobbie Wickham posted:A STEM degree isn’t necessarily some magic ticket to a six-figure job, though. What’s a Bachelor’s in Math going to get you—a cushy job at the local cosine factory? A lot of people in those fields end up going to grad school for a more practical Master’s in teaching or library science, anyway—nobody’s really chomping at the bit to get a physics major in the office. The point of college isn’t just to acquire knowledge in a specific field; in theory, people are supposed to be acquiring skills like critical reading, time management, how to formulate/express/defend ideas coherently, do research with a discerning eye, and so on. Every degree is worthless, if you don’t know how to hustle. Didn't read lol
