-Blackadder- posted:What kinds of new problems do you guys feel like young people face today that may not have been around in previous years? Our parents could pay for college tuition with a few hours at a part time job at minimum wage because it was cheap as gently caress. Even the Gen Xers could escape with minimal loans. Tuition costs have completely exploded in the past decade. Wages haven't seen any real growth since the 70s despite productivity massively increasing due to technology. So now you have a generation saddled with debt making barely enough to live on and the Boomers are going "Why aren't you young people moving out, getting married and buying houses?"

Thursday Next posted:By all means, study English if that's what you love. Do so with the real and serious understanding that the jobs available to you will likely begin with barista and end with underpaid freelancer. This mentality is self defeating. There are literally thousands of jobs you can get with an English degree, and "underpaid freelancer" is not the holy grail of them.
