  College is (mostly) a scam, but what isn't nowadays.

  And the worst part is your parents still don’t understand and think that you can literally get rent from a gas station job.  Most of the jobs that were available in my area were starting position insurance agents that required 5 to 10 years of experience preemptively for a starting position.  And when you show them the data, they still tell you you’re wrong or that it’s the Internet. Remember these are the people running our fucking country.  I hope their CPC spring gives up because mine certainly is.😢

  Old Autozone Manager here. We are required to call people in and interview job applicant even when we're not looking for people. There's a weekly quota. It's a waste of time for us and the interviewee. That's why you're always seeing "We're hiring signs." It's a metric they go off on for something.

  As a first of the Gen Z born into this world I&apos;ll say this....I&apos;ve never met anyone more passionate and willing to work hard than Gen Z. The problem is we don&apos;t get appreciation for the work we put in. So we dont put the effort in. But the second you show appreciation or proper compensation for the job done we work our asses off. We crave appreciation and more importantly purpose.

  We are living in an illusion. With everything shown in reality and not just on paperwork or the news we’re in a depression or near one.

  Too many humans, not enough jobs. We have the value of a fly now. Common and replaceable

  Many jobs don&apos;t even pay 26k a year regardless of how you slice it.

  Keep in mind that some job applications are just there to collect and sell your info to third-party buyers. Including AI that filters out fresh graduates with basically no experience in their field being the lowest priority, and they&apos;ll only hire you if you work for &quot;free&quot; as an intern.
