I'm an American who just received a bachelor of arts degree

1. there is graduate school
2. you could figure out why you aren't getting hired (maybe it's not your fault), and fine a solution, considering you understand economics
3. would you be a snob for trying to do blue collar work? no, you would not be a snob.

becoming skilled in a trade takes several years (kind of like a bachelors), and mastering it takes even more (kind of like a masters)

you might be a snob if you think blue collar work is all super easy and low investment

1. I graduated with a 2.8 GPA so it would be tough for me to get into a master's program without work experience. I have no intention of ever going to law school or getting a phD.

2. I went to a top-50 school in the country and didn't put my GPA on my resume. I have to idea why a company would take somebody over me. Maybe companies discriminating against white males due to required quotas really isn't just a meme?

3. Yes, I understand there are years of training and I would be willing to go that route. I'm not some snobby hipster faggot nor was I in a frat, I get along just fine with working class men

It seems like you are at a crossroads here.

You can A.) try to brain up as best as you can, using what you learned in school to figure out why you're not getting a job and what you need to do to get one (not just, "It was the blacks," because I would fire a person working for me for saying something that dumb).

I'll tell you a little bit about what I know. An acquaintance went to Drexel. (Is that a top 50 school? My snob friends criticize it for not having a real library.), and he works a customer service position at Bristol-Myers Squibb, hoping that one day they'll move him up into a better position. That's a tiny glimpse of what the market looks like here in New Jersey. If I were him, I'd see a Masters as the ticket to being competitive when it comes to hiring.

Your other option B.) is to basically hang up your thinking cap and put on your working cap, switching to more concrete physical work instead of abstract office work. The benefit to this is that more people are cut out for it, and the demand for it is probably higher, meaning everyone who works hard at this will get paid $$$. The downsides are that people around you are more likely to be degenerates (being rude towards you, offering that you drink alcoholically with them and do drugs), and that you are way more likely to damage your health.


So there are your crossroads. If I were you, I would try to wise up and make Econ work, since you always (at least in the next few decades) have trades as a backup option.

you got a bachelors in economics and nobody told you the economy is real bad and applying to 100 jobs doesnt mean shit anymore? fucking fake science invented to defend rich people

>>18459929
>fake science invented to defend rich people
not really. information is everywhere. if people want to be biased and ignorant, then that's their own fault.

psychology is another thing people label as a fake science, but it's really just an umbrella that covers both real science and pseudocience.

from what I have seen from Economics it uses math and real life examples to support its theories (at least the valid parts of Econ), so

and no just because economics exist doesn't mean that social welfare shouldn't exist or that true communism wouldn't maximize happiness.

econ just recognizes that the US doesn't actually want to become socialist Europe or the USSR.

and if you're pissed at this I'll tell you I'm poor. I just recognize that being an asshole is correlated with but not directly caused by having wealth.

"Economics it uses math and real life examples to support its theories"? shut the fuck up

>>18460015
Are you going to post an actual counter claim?
The anon is right, speculation is a thing.

>>18460015
my nibba, have you even spoken to someone who graduated college?

its these kinds of attitudes that perpetuate poverty in the first place.

>>18460037
motherfucker says
>econ just recognizes that the US doesn't actually want to become socialist Europe or the USSR.
There's nothing to argue about, they don't know what economics is, let alone its history and biases

>>18460047
>ugh youre so stupid if you believe this!!!
>won't actually post what is supposedly true

I get a feeling you're just here to argue

>>18460038
>Economics it uses math
really shithead, that's a phrase you want to defend by calling me uneducated? I took econ 101 and 120something and got A's while hating it

>>18460047
attack the one part of what I said that is misworded like this is a debate class and you have an audience

we're just trying to tell you to stop being a bitter poorfuck and maybe you'll be more likely to succeed

what I meant to say there is that the entire field of economics doesn't exist just to propagate that rich people are in the right. that's tin foil hat shit.

all I was saying is that understanding how economics works keeps America economically larger and more successful than the EU or Russia.

>>18460055
you reply isn't even coherent but it has the tone of someone wearing all black lighting mailboxes on fire because the federal government is evil

no matter how many classes you take, being a crazy political ideologue is just going to make you look foolish. at least be a level-headed political ideologue.

like Bernie lost dude. it's a real shame that he lost to Hillary and Trump but that's unfortunately what happened. this is the world we live in. all you can do is try to do what is best for you and your people.

I'm actually Mail Carrier with a BA and I started posting itt to give OP some advice (100 job applications is not enough to be giving up) and also tell them it's not necessarily any less competitive or easier to get a blue collar job than a while collar one

>>18459703
get a book like What Color is Your Parachute and some book on jigging up your CV/resume from the library or online and work through those.

gotta sell yourself too, bro.

>it's not necessarily any less competitive or easier to get a blue collar job than a while collar one
This, getting a good blue collar job can be almost impossible without family connections.
