They all study the same useless shit that's easily outsourced, then left baseless, to float from job to job until they die. There will be no retirement for them.

Most of them will probably have less assets than their parents and they spend more time trying to scheme ways not to be in a worse position than their parents because they know some people can be better off than their parents but almost nobody will be

Real jobs, actual careers don't exist anymore because company loyalty has been eroded. So the only way to work is to live in a degenerate liberal shit city. People work with a company for two months as consultants or some bullshit and then move on to the next thing. Take a look at millennial linkedins. The days of graduating high school, deciding what you want to do and settling into a comfy career are gone. The only way to work is to work for yourself.

The years they should have been spending getting ready to enter the real world and figuring out what they wanted to do were spent watching funny cat videos on the internet. It's something that affects damn near all millenials, from the SJW faggots who latched on to feminism to the young /pol/acks who spent their formative years laughing at guro on /b/.

This, by the way, is also why there's such a surge of more childish apparel for adults, and why we have so many people who act like having a cat is in any way similar to having a baby or that being 30 means "being able to eat Jell-o for breakfast". Because they stunted their own growth by overengaging in internet entertainment, mentally they're on the same level as a young teenager.

Yeah, there are so many forces - automation, mainlining (a small share of products getting a very large market share), central planning, outsourcing, mass migration, work visas, pushing women into carriers, getting rid of maintenance in favor of trashing stuff, "efficiency" aka cutting workforce and putting more stress on the remaining employees - but what all the mentioned things have in common, they worsen the bargaining power of the employee

>>132646815
So your idea of a goal is a good career and financial security. Millennials are still achieving this, though it's at a later age than average compared to past generations. The reason for this I think is of the increased emphasis on university. Now that getting into university has become easier, the average person is getting a degree meaning that those without them will find it hard to impress employers since it's nearly expected now so people aren't entering the workforce until they're older. Not to mention, not every graduate will find it easy to land a job with a degree anyway. STEM graduates should be fine but history, communications, English, etc. majors won't. The result is these people have been in education for nearly 20 years under the guidance of some authority (school or university) so they're only good for taking instructions from a higher up at a firm and they're also in debt meaning they're not willing to take risk so starting a business isn't an option either. They're forced to go on the dole or work shift work in Lidl or as a barista.

Of course this only applies for those who want to work. There are other people who would disagree with your goal and would rather be NEETs. They always existed but they couldn't get away with it in past generations like they can now because social welfare wasn't as good then as it is now

That's the route I'm going basically.

It's just so frustrating.

A degree was a degree, and that was all that was needed - this is literally what our school was told.

People lost have lost their tribalism spook and sense of community with the people they interact with for a greater spook, "society". There are a few holdouts such as the Amish and other cultesque microsocieties.

NEETdom is the last vestige of civil disobedience. If you work you are paying taxes which are funding gibs for shitskins and weapons for Jewry. If you're a NEET, you're parasitizing from the same pool of money the nigs are, thus taking from them as well as helping to accelerate the much needed collapse. It's the 21st century general strike, but it never ends. If you spend all your time on the internet spreading redpills you'll accelerate the collapse even more. NEETs are the new transcendentalists.
Workers are self-harming race traitors.
NEETs are soldiers against shitskins.

Because the world has changed so much and so fast.

Millenials grew up in a world with boundless opportunity, told they could do anything they set there minds to, then shit started changing, the economy took a dive, things got more expensive while wages got lower. Jobs are harder to come by, and they all had dreams of being astronauts, and presidents, and rock stars, but now those jobs are so impossible to get, they have to rearrange the plan they had for their futures. It's hard.

For gen Z, we got that crash earlier in life, we've always been prepared to live a tough life, but we are finding the job market is just as hard for us as our predecessors. I wanted to be an astronaut, then in high school I changed my dream to building something that went to space, now after dropping out because I'm too poor to pay for college, my dream is to make enough money to stay living on my own in a house I'm renting with 2 roommates.

Life is hard and we grew up being told about how easy it'll be for us. Give us time.

Historically, teenagers got low-level, shit jobs at places like McDonalds.
Thanks to immigration (illegal and otherwise), these jobs are now taken by immigrants.
Teenagers don't learn hard work, or the value of a dollar. Instead they spend their time trying to be "relevant" by picking up on any SJW crusade Twitter and Facebook tells them is important.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_Aquarius

"Astrologers believe that an astrological age affects humanity, possibly by influencing the rise and fall of civilizations or cultural tendencies."

"Proponents of medieval astrology suggest that the Pisces world where religion is the opiate of the masses will be replaced in the Aquarian Age by a world ruled by secretive, power-hungry elites seeking absolute power over others; that knowledge in the Aquarian Age will only be valued for its ability to win wars; that knowledge and science will be abused, not industry and trade; and that the Aquarian Age will be a Dark Age in which religion is considered offensive."

Why'd they have to be so right.

Our teachers are in bed with our politicians and basically write their own checks. We spend on average $12,500 per child per year for public school, and our public schools rank 30-40 in the world.

But the teachers make very nice salaries and have massive benefit packages, in addition to excluding themselves from Social Security.

It's quite a racket.

Pretty much lied to about everything in life, tried working in my 20's and was taken advantage of by every employer, they only promote kiss asses, not hard workers. So I started my own business but I decided to sell it and now I'm 30 and living in a basement with only $5000.00 in my pocket. Not really angry or depressed, just concerned about the future, don't plan on getting married cause women are whores and will leave you the first time hardship occurs (watched friends get divorced left and right after the 2008 crisis).

Thats because millennials are worthless lazy pieces of shit. None of my management team likes them. Their overly sensitive *literally always about to cry about something), lazy, call in excessively, and quit if it involves any real work.

I remember when I got my first job at 16, all my coworkers and managers were amazed by my work ethic, my only guess is they were expecting a millennial, and got an average Gen Z kid instead, as I've never considered myself to be hard working, if anything, compared to my peers, I'm a bit lazy.

I moved out at 18, moved in with my girlfriend, got a full time job and went to school full time.

Literally everything has been getting worse for the average worker. Wtf are you talking about? Just renting a place by myself with my wages would be economic suicide, since it would take at least 2 weeks out of every month just to make enough for rent.

I am 18 and just finished college i fucked up my computer science course because my teacher left a month into the second year and also using alot drugs which led to mental health issues. I am trying to sort my education out for september as i'm not one to give up but i also feel we are not pressured/pushed hard enough by teachers i did try hard in college but felt the teachers were not teaching as much as they should have been and didnt seem very enthusiastic also i think my generation have had it way too easy as our parents and grandparents went through all of the hard stuff so we don't gain as much life experience as quickly

Millenial here.
I don't really blame anything except myself. I had a good job and got written up so when lay offs happened I was on the chopping block. Working a new job that pays much less but I can work weekends for extra money which has gotten me into the habit of just wanting to work more to get more money. So if I get another good paying job my work ethic will be better.

Did it ever occur to you that you are part of the reason for that? The cutthroat tactics in the job market that have been prevalent in the last few decades are just insane.

Treating young adults as niggers. Yeah, sure. Let's see where that leads us.

In 20 years when the current generation grows up, what do you think is gonna happen? It's just going to be a bunch of in-debted people without any experience. The economy will be in the shitter.

>have had discussions with people in trades like auto mechanic, crane mechanic, and carpenter and all of them excpet the crane mechanic said they would do something different if they could do it over again. The crane mechanic is probably getting the best deal because he is a longshoremen and that union is still strong. The carpenter used to belong to a union, but it's not powerful anymore and all his benefits got slashed.

Our generation is sheltered as hell. Most (middle/upper-class) kids don't know the first thing about suffering. This isn't unique to our generation, it's a phenomenon that coincides with our getting richer. Our society has become a themepark, and it's expected the citizens act like children.

Like the point above, parenting is a skill and requires mature individuals. Those people are in short supply.

Mostly for lower-class kids, the great recession had demolished many opportunities. Especially when your identity is partly defined by the hard labour your do. It threw a generation into a identity void where they couldn't achieve what was expected of them, and they couldn't shake it off either.

This already happened with boomers and TV. Honestly at least with the internet some millennials have had the opportunity to be auto-didactic on a level that has probably never existed since the beginning of human history. The sheer amount of data processing we have done as a generation is astounding, and I'd argue its hard to frame that as a pacifying circumstance vs. what boomers went through with television. We also had access to creative tools the likes of which artists have always dreamed of (programming, audio and video recording, all manner of editing software - all accessible at home via computer, and progressively less difficult to interface with, so that more energy may be put into the creative process).This will lead to creative thinking in times of stress with a high abundance of information hanging over our heads.

While I agree we aren't equipped with the long-lasting social/relationship skills and a lot of us are morally deficient, I think we'll pull it through and manage to advance culture in the right direction once the crisis has fully manifested itself and it becomes obvious that we, as a generation, must either fix it or eventually we will be judged by our sparse progeny to be the same as the boomers were, letting it all go to shit.

Too many jobs in the traditional economy aren't worth doing. Not sure if the current system beats being a NEET.

If making money didn't imply supporting DeShonda's 5 kids, a government trying to import literal savages that bring violence and an education system that tells me I'm privileged to do it... it could be worth it. Maybe it's time to starve the beast? Even without the government, you are upholding an upper class that despises you and are helped set up the fucked up system we are in anyway.

Crime and NEETness makes more sense.

congrats my man. that's a great goal. I see many young people on the jobsites doing trades and bluecollar work - while making $25/hour and up. Not an amazing wealth, but a guaranteed paycheque compared to an arts major. (plus they're mostly white males, and even the black men doing the trades are decent guys)

There are fuck all jobs in this field outside London, and they are miles and miles away from population centres. I'm not huge on London but the perks are
-commute is 30 mins per day on bike rather than 1hour30 by car to most job in the UK
-reasonable standard of living since I am good with money
-don't have the money drain of a fucking car (hate the things and hate everything being so spread out in rest of UK that you can't even cycle)
-actual job progression, tons of work for freelance

I'd have to see a pretty good offer to move, especially since I'd have to learn how to drive. Fuck driving

Every time I see your shitty threads I immediately think of some clueless millennial/gen z who needs to write an (((article))), but is too inept so they get the internet to do it. Obviously you can't mention Jews or (((Globalists))) in an (((article))) so you need to exclude them. Or is there some other reason because the only people I ever see that say "I know X is the way it is because of Y, but Z sounds better than Y. What kind of mental gymnastics can I use to remove Y and say it's because of Z?" are leftists.
Get the fuck off my island you human garbage.

Because there is nothing to do.

And my post was not to say that no arts major can be successful. I'm merely pointing out that it seems to be a risky strategy, and there are better choices that can be made if one is seeking out a stable income.

My grandpa has an incredible work ethic, and is well rounded in all aspects. Thinking, working with his hands, mathematics, history. He's tough as shit. A true example of the former Protestant culture that made Canada a great country, now almost fully extinct. Sorry, but no Boomer, Gen X, Gen Y or Millenial has those same characteristics as a whole generation. Gen Z may have some hope but even then it's more of a libertarian resurgence and not a Greatest Generation type of thing.

At my job literally showing up for shifts already puts you above about half of the workers. They think I'm great, but I'm not even being pushed. I fullfill their low expectations but could probably be twice as productive if they actually organized the tasks needing to be done better.
>>
Unironically laziness. Not that the current generation is any lazier than previous generations, but there's unfathomable amounts of competition that didn't exist until the last decade or so which means you have to work harder just to survive. I'm somewhat successful (24 and make $85k a year) and people assume I'm either really smart or really lucky. The truth is that I work like a slave in order to make myself more profitable to the company than outsourcing, perpetual contractors, or just hiring some kid for half my salary. If I actually worked only 40 hours a week, the bean-counters would axe me almost instantly.

Laziness and entitlement. I work with a kid, he couldn't give less of a shit if he tried. We all screw the pooch more than we should but he takes it to the next level, he spent 5 hours today driving the golf cart around eating black berries. Last year's kid was the same way.

They honest to god think we owe them this job and they have no fear of being fired.

It just shows how pointless generation labeling is, especially when the internet has connected everybody to the point that people with niche interests completely removed from their generation are able to find like minded people.

Yeah but Liverpool is a shithole with no jobs and nothing to do. Who cares if it's cheaper, it's because people don't want to live there. If I wanted to live further north it'd be out of the city or an actual nice city like Edinburgh. Cities are shit but at least London has plenty to see and do for free

While I agree with you idealogically, there will come a time when automation will take virtually all our jobs away. I'm a trucker for example (lory driver for you Bongs), and eventually decades from now there will be no more professional driving jobs due to AI and autonomous vehicles. Here in the States that's roughly 1.5 million drivers, and another half million support jobs which will vanish.

No amount of retraining will turn your average trucker into a programmer, doctor, investment banker, or Jew. If there are no jobs, there is no income for consumers to turn the crank on Capitalism's meatgrinder, therefore the sausage will not get made.

God willing I'm dead before it happens, but a UBI will be innevitable to keep Capitalism alive before we got a true post-scarcity society.

Loyalty my ass.

This isn't the old days where your boss and company took care of you and your family.

These motherfuckers try to reduce your benefits, cut pay, and will fire your ass at the drop of a hat.

The millennials cant afford to be loyal to these vultures, unless they want to stagnate and never improve.

I tell every kid to get some experience and whore out that resume. All ways look for something better.
