Meanwhile Blue States pay 70% of the tax bill But I guess it's not virtue signalling over identity politics when you do it

And want to offer entry level pay.

It's because of the stupid minimum wage laws. It's risky for employers to hire someone who could become an expensive liability. Whatever the minimum wage is, an employer will be paying double that to additional taxes on top. Asking for experience and requiring college degree is a way to mitigate that risk. You can thank all the progressive and socialist for screwing everyone over again and again and the dumb voters who keep voting for them

​@Bearded Mountain entry level pay comes with entry level. You start at the bottom. What part can't you seem to comprehend? Who do you think you are that you would get to start out at what someone who's been at the place for 10 years makes. You socialist types are what's wrong with society. 🙄

Exactly, I had a CDL with NO accidents for 2 years and no company where I was would get me home everyday would hire me cause I didn’t have 5 years. All that was offered was teams or at best dedicated routes were I might get a 34 hour reset at a truckstop. So I went to welding where I had experience in MIG/TIG welding. I did that for 2 years but couldn’t get into a good job because I didn’t have any connection’s despite passing every weld test given. I did especially well with TIG on Stainless and Aluminum. Then I went into HVAC got my certifications and had 2 years there until Covid destroyed that.

if you spent 80k on a degree thats your own damn fault, there are plenty of cheaper options. Many state/community schools now offer four year degrees at low cost. You could also do two years at community and transfer, saving thousands.

I make almost 100k a year working a trade. I work for seven months out of the year and the other 5 I do whatever I damn well please. The wage isn’t that far off for people who just started. I have gotten a dollar+ raise every year for the last 9 years and it isn’t stopping anytime soon. I also have no student debt. College isn’t the answer

I guess the solution to this is internship (you are learning and working - so it benefits both the company and yourself) but with a chance of being properly employed in the company that offers the internship. But if you don't get employed at that company, you have at least proof that you have experience/skill in that field so you can apply to a different company of the same field.

Are you unemployed?

I got certified for a job I was never able to get for this reason. Thankfully I already had a trade skill I was able to fall back on.

​@@someguy2744 you want to pay their bills while they work for free?

There’s definitely a labor shortage with regards to trade work. Trade workers make good money, the younger generations just don’t want to work that hard.

@@tommartyn524 this is mostly false. Trades don't pay that well. Few jobs really pays all that well anymore. And there are very few trades jobs in total. The average trades job pays $44k a year, which is much less than the median wage ($54k). So the money is neither good nor is it really bad. You have to choose a very specific trades job to make good money, and remain at that job for a number of years. There are 3 million unfilled trades jobs, but they're unfilled because they pay like shit for the work expected. In 1980, the median household income to buy a median priced house with a 20-yr loan at interest rates at the time would consume 23% of your gross income. In 2020, the median household income to buy a median priced house with a 20-yr loan consumes 34% of gross income. The housing market boom during the pandemic made this even worse, with it now taking up 37% of your household income to own a median home with median income. We really need to quit pretending that millennials are lazy or whatever nonsense. That just isn't true. The working class has been getting fleeced for decades. Millennials are the first generation to say "I'm not going to kill my body for a paltry sum of money working in a trade". That's basically all there is to it.

You weren't lied to about the usefulness of college. Going to college will always increase your maximum earning potential. There are exceptions - for example the natural salespeople, born entertainers & overly talented athletes so gifted they didn't need what college had to offer. Robin Williams was told to leave Juilliard because the school simply wasn't equipped to teach someone of his talent. But they're the very few exceptions. For everyone else the capacity to earn is largely determined by your ability to learn & think, which is what college teaches you. What happened to your generation, assuming you're a millennial, was the Boomers were so busy taking as much as they could out of the economy that they didn't put anything back into it for you. Instead of spending taxpayer money to create new industries and jobs, boomers took that money in tax cuts & investment incentives to feather their own nests. As the first generation in the history of the world to take more than it gave, they're the reason your generation ended up with student loans in fields for which there were no jobs. Not to mention that time their greed crashed the world economy due to stupidly bad investment strategies.

Then train them. I can teach a nutless monkey how to be a mechanic. Most shop workers and tradesmen jobs are done sucessfully by people with meth addiction i think you can take an idiot off the street and train them liek you were trained im shop class. An hr class a day 5 days a week means 5 hours a week of training. Did that for a yr in school say two semesters. Which is about 26 to 32 weeks. Take the longest time for more training. Thats 32x5 =160 160 ÷40 thats 4 weeks of full time training and you have someone that wont chop their own hand off and can figure out not to look into the welding arc. You simply have to put that person on a full time training schedule. The person can then tune their work quallity with on the job training they receive per task. Nobody started out stacking dimes and perfect cuts.

Maybe you just can't pay enough? Mechanic is a hard ass job. I would have to be paid very well to do that BS.

I disagree. Shop classes and automotive existed in my school system in the mid 00's. I did trade school in high school and learned that I hated crawlspaces and said no to HVAC work.

They chose those cushy positions so they don't have to work hard. But shit on us for wanting the same at work.

Missing the point that random education is no substitute for actual skills. But you perform better at quizzes.

@D Z uhhh okay? So you think millennials have "random education" and "No actual skills." Meanwhile you can't pass a 6th grade algebra class and you're on a computer or phone designed by us because we invented the internet. Which you had decades to discover, you were just too stupid to figure it out. Congratulations.

@@user-ty5di3ku6o You missed the point again. It's about the job market and what it needs, period. Being educated is worth "nothing" if the job market needs something else at that exact moment. Also, I'm part of the generation that created the internet, but it's not MY invention, your point is beyond stupid.

​@@DavZeugmeand who sold us that lie?

I hold a degree and I make more holding a stop sign on job sites than I will ever make with my degree.. it’s a fucking anchor I will never cut loose.

I started at Amazon after high school with no job experience and made $40k my first year. Granted working 60 hours weeks. Aaaw Covid era was such good time to make a ton of money fast.

I started in a trade, and my skills are highly demanded. I started out making 300 a week, now I clear 6 figures most years.

Damn that's tough.

It's the same in service Industries too there is always a new certificate or some exchange of money 💰 🤑 💸 🤔 It's The Civil Services who use there unions to walk out get more money the Rest of us cannot walk out of work and long as there are People who are subsided to take your job I seen these people who said I'm stupid and demand to have the same certificates I worked and earned hard for only to end up working with thankless and dangerous 😳 ☠️ people who laughed at me paying for Courses yet they got theirs free and don't even care about customers or reordering stock.

Ummm, I suggest you take economics 101. Most new employees have nothing to offer but their time and can't stay off their phones. Why should they be paid big bucks?

Exactly. Ask anyone you know, working or not, if theyd take a job for $1,000,000 a year. Everyone (except those making more) would take that offer instantly. It’s not that they don’t want to work. It’s that the work doesn’t pay them enough to live, let alone my million dollar hypothetical

@@stevenbass732 economics 101 lol that’s funny

This is bs

@@spidermonkey7280 I see. Who's going to pay you a million dollars a year to be a cashier?

Hes talking about people in their 20s during the 08 financial collapse. I think he knows what a millennial is.

A millennial is anyone born roughly between 82 and 96. A millennial is NOT a person born in 2000. Despite what the current Neanderthals think.

A millenial is someone who was a child/ alive to remember the 90s when Y2K happened... aka '99 swapping to '00. So think 80s and 90s kids, who are now in their 40s and 30s respectively. Millenials grew up with cartoons, neon, extreme marketing towards them, video games and computers, and a culture of both unity and devastation. They saw the tech boom surge in the 80s and 90s, and the collapse of it all after 9/11.

Please use a search engine

Right… I was born in 93, which definitely makes me a millennial. However, I’m not even 30. I really don’t get where all this hate for millennials comes from lol. Really the biggest problem with millennials is that most aren’t entrepreneurial enough. We all feed into the big corporations.

People are snowflakes these days.

Says more about you

​@@korodski _Found the hiring manager._

Did you get an internship in accounting ?

@@handyman1016 two. They were required for my degrees

2 years to find a job as a mall cop? Sounds like you are the issue. Imma millennial AND and am doing security. Never had an issue getting a job. Guardaworld, Allied, SOS, are all the biggest companies who are literally hiring ALL THE TIME. Those are the "gimme" ones. If you can't even make those ones.... idk what to tell ya chief. Maybe choose another lane cause security might not be for you.

And that will not happen. There is no generation that could possibly even attempt fixing what is going on. Also, not our job as citizens to fix a broken system fucking everyone over by kicking the can down the road yet somehow people at the top rinse gravy down with champagne

We ain't fixing shit. It's up to z and the alphas at this point. I'd help but what's the fucking point? The planets dying we're dying I don't give a fuck anymore.

Still in power

And what have you done to fix it besides whine on social media?

@YUM YUMS ok boomer

"We didn't start the fire, it's been burning since the worlds been turning...".

... That sounds like you're blaming someone. 🤣

No, you’re entitled. Most people think they need to go to college and get some degree in a job market that is competitive and hard to break into. Why don’t you join a trade. There is no shortage of wages for trades. I have gotten over a dollar a year raise for 9 years and it’s not stopping anytime soon. I guarantee I will retire earlier and currently have a more comfortable lifestyle than anyone in whatever bs field you’re trying to break into. College is a waste of time these days

@@hammurds College isn't a waste of time all the time but it is most of the time.

Most trades start at $12-$16 an hour and then after 3-4 years you might be around $25. If you’re in a union it climbs a little higher and once you get your journeyman’s license it’s decent money in a union. But that’s if you can get in and also afford to take a huge pay cut as an adult for about 3 years. The average trade salary is around 55K nationwide. Only the tops 15-20% approach 70k+ which takes years of experience. On top of that you likely have to drive 3-4 hours a day 5 days a week just to get to and from the worksite often working from 6am to 2pm unless you’re lucky and get one that starts at 8am. Also there’s plenty of times the work will be overnights for months or years. Then if you try public services like police, firefighters or EMTs you’re still looking at 40-60k a year for long and stressful work hours that require a lot of dedication and knowledge. There are a few exceptions but generally all of the tradesmen and and public servants are very underpaid and/or too overworked. Cops shouldn’t have to be doing 14 hour days 4-5 days a week then be on call on 25-50% of their weekends.

@Chukoocharlie I didn't attend college until 2015. I graduated in 2017 with an associates in machine tool and die, and my lack of work experience severely hurt me. no one would hire me. I finally found a job as a machine operator, so simple a monkey could do it, kinda demeaning for someone who can actually program the machine. I got out of that industry when I was told I needed 10 years experience to get a job and became a mechanic. best choice I ever made

I graduated 2013, never had a time where I wasn’t able to find work. Do I love my job? Not really. Do I love the life it provides? Hell ya. The issue I’m seeing is most kids my age want a high paying job to sit on their ass. You can get into tech for that but there seems to always be layoffs going on in the tech world. Get into the trades, put in the work at the ground level, you’ll get crap pay compared to the work, but it’ll even out in the end and you’ll always be in demand.

​​@@The88ninjas no, the problem is people dont want to work to "survive" they want to work to "live". Cant do that when the minimum wage is nigh on unlivable with how things are going. In the uk, wages havent risen with inflation in a long ass time. Now with the gas and electric farce going on what was once a living wage is now a "get you by if you ration every aspect of your life" wage.

@@BoshyG I have no knowledge of wages in other countries or what people are paid. But I know in my field, I’ve never seen or been paid minimum wage. My first day in a shop I made $20/hr when the minimum wage was 9.50 where I lived at the time. Now almost 10 years later sticking with it, gaining knowledge, skills as a mechanic, I make 50/hr while the current minimum wage is I think 16/hr where I live now. But this is how it is in the US I have no idea how much mechanics get paid where you are.

@@The88ninjas yeaah in the uk theres 0 chance of that, hourly rate here is bascally set in stone; companies refuse to pay your actual worth and many companies my previous employer included will straight fire you for asking for a raise. They are mad sneaky here all for the sake of a few pennies. Shit sucks.

Cry me a fucking river dude.

There it is. Politicians and corporations want to group people into voting blocks, consumer groups, etc. The correct way to see people is as individuals.

@@DiamondKingVideos You are correct. Each person is an individual - what the rest of the “group” does is almost irrelevant.

While you're right in most cases, I think here he made a point to say only half of them are "lazy" , which just means they choose an atypical path before getting highly trained. The other half did everything right but came into the workforce at the worst time. He also references how it's shown in the data, that I'm sure he studied extensively. This guy has a really good idea as to why our society and economy behave like they do, even if some of his predictions may be wrong

If one goes over the edge, will all follow or will some say, let's not go there? What others do in their life does not dictate how you live your life. But if you want to follow, sorry for your loss.

This is true everywhere, but the geezers still get the pay.

Cuz we stopped playing by their rules. Fuck loyalty and fuck seniority. I’m getting my bag BACK

Yeah, I don’t get how the pay structure works. Why are older, less active people getting the most money, to just sit around and collect more money. Doesn’t really make sense to me. Pay should peak when you do the most, not when you do the least. So many top heavy organizations.
