millennial here, everything sucks. the degree i'm going for is probably worthless since everything is either STEM-based or a trade at this point. i dunno, maybe i'll learn how to be a plumber.

plumbers can make a lot of money if you dont mind getting your hands dirty - oh wait, youre a millennial :smug:

i thought kids were supposed to be wizards with technology and make us olds all look dumb.

Fresh grads and olds are the worst at computers in the workplace in my experience.

Young can use facebook or whatever but are totally retarded otherwise.

"I've never used outlook before it's not like gmail i don't know how to use it." How did you get hired to work here.

this is true for people who use their thinkmeats instead of looking at a new thing and giving up instantly.

My job's IT keeps trying to recruit me because I'm the only one who can troubleshoot equipment failures and get poo poo halfway running before IT even looks at the ticket.

It's always a driver issue or a HD failure. Most of IT doesn't even know what a driver is aside from the person in a car that makes it go. They are all olds except for the person running it who is a frustrated milennial who can't get rid of the olds or find new talent.

that's the most bewildering thing to me. it's like they're even afraid to try something on their own and maybe they get it wrong or maybe it works just fine. the fear of what if it doesn't work doesn't even seem like a threatening barrier to entry for something like sending an email, but idk i'm a filthy old now

honestly if i have to, i'll get my hands dirty if it means i can make a living for myself

i also hate being grouped with the "MY DADDY CAN PAY FOR MY BILLS" generation. sure my parents are well off, but i refuse to mooch off them and i want to find a job ASAP once i'm done with college. mooching off your parents when you are able to work is pathetic.

in my experience (including myself) people who are mad about their peers being able to have their parents pay for their every whim are actually a little jealous that their own family can't / won't give them the same option. sure, i try to wear the fact that i've worked a ton of lovely jobs like a badge of personal pride, because my folks couldn't afford to pay their own bills, let alone mine, but if you think i wouldn't have preferred to live a life of idle luxury where my rich parents just pay for everything, you're out of your mind

it's not even that, my parents would pay for whatever i asked them to if i wanted to. i just don't want to seem like a sad and pathetic manchild at the age of 28 in my parent's house.

not always true. they think plumbers are worth $10 an hour but they'll gladly pay the dude down at the speed shop $375 an hour plus marked-up parts price to replace the radiator in their 67 Firebird cause what the gently caress did you think they were gonna leave barrett-jackson empty handed
