Learn a trade. People are begging for HVAC and electricians. Carpentry and AutoCAD will always be in demand

Only for white people.
Then we started welfare...

you can still live off of 40hrs, even without a hs diploma.
the issue is all the extra shit people want, like tv, phones, laptops, fancy cars, ect.
Eliminate social security and watch the sudden outbreak of prosperity. Eliminate medical subsidies and watch medicine prices plummet. Everything you think you know about economic cause and effect is wrong.
>>136459575
Have you honestly seen people making minimum wage in fancy cars? How is that even possible?
>>136459254
Whats the problem? Just get rid of ((them)).

I never felt like I was learning any marketable skills in college. Turned out I was right. I only got skills by working a shipping/receiving job in which I learned how to use excel and a little SQL. Fortunately boomers are intimidated by Excel so if you literally just know how to make a pivot table and an if statement you're considered "the excel guy"
I wish I knew then what I know now about how the world works. I would've studied some different things aside from getting my token bachelor's degree. Why does nobody tell you jack shit about how the world works? Literally all I was ever told is wow you've got potential! You can be anything you want! You're smart!
Ooookay, so get a degree and apply for jobs and then old people will say the same stuff and give me a job? Great. See you in four or five years.
The mark of economic progress is falling prices.
Where is our economy progressing?
Where is our economy falling behind?
There is a story telling itself in the statistics for those who have eyes to see.

what degree did you earn?
>>136459254
So what changed? Oh yeah big government socialism crept in that inflated prices and reduced the job market.

Looks like we have 45 million too many Americans.

Don't have the money up front for tuition and I'm too old to start from the absolute bottom as I don't have a GED in my 30s
>>136459551
too many spics, niggers and meth heads in the trades if my experience in Texas a decade ago was emblematic of what the job is like.

America has become less libertarian since the 1960s. So what exactly is it that you're implying?
the change culminated with the immigration act of '65

Enjoy the Coporate Tyranny. The free market meme won't help poor or middle class people. Only those with ties to massive coporations. True free market Competition doesn't exist.
