Honestly I’m willing to try trades but, people who work in trades should unionize and those people who are way older than us still working in trades are ass holes

MyBrainHurts@piefed.ca 1 week agoBasically all of what you said was equally applicable 20 years ago and folks atill managed to get degrees, handle a real courseload, pay attention for a whole lecture etc. And then we graduated into the worst financial/employment crisis of the last 100 years.
A lot of this feels like made up gripe reinforced by being online way too much. Maybe it’s the result of rocking a smartphone and the resulting doomed echo chambers since childhood but it seems to have broken a whole generation.
You don’t want one of the lucrative credentialed jobs like lawyer, engineer, doctor etc? Sure. But my God, we can’t even get kids to join the trades which pay great, cost almost nothing to enroll and are all but guarantees of job security.

Yeah, graduating high school in 2005 and thus finishing college in 2008 was…great. I’m not shotgun emoji about it at all.
Thing is, when we were in college, it looked like jobs and futures still existed, they waited until our last semester to destroy society. It never got better. Kids these days were born in the bullshit, we were merely adopted by it.
Also, you apparently don’t know the first fucking thing about the trades.

This is just silliness. Jobs and futures still exist, just because your corner of social media is going nuts doesn’t change that.
The generation prior grew up with the ever present threat of nuclear annihilation and still managed to go put on their shoes and work.
A good number of my friends are electricians, plumbers, pipe fitters or in HVAC but uhhh, sure there buddy.
