@@ericcarson342 Because it's not a thing. 😅 Most applicants have no idea how hiring actually works and using third party job apps in 2024 is just dumb. Many (not all) vacancies are going to be internal promotions. The real problem is requiring so much experience for entry level positions. That's a real problem. That said, the social media cry babies are unhireable. They need to focus on being influencers and growing their brands because organizations aren't going to hire them. Social media influencers are drama and firms don't want to deal with it.
I posted a front desk/medical receptionist job and got almost 100 applications in two days… people with bachelors and masters degrees applying for a job that pays between 17 and 22 dollars per hour. Each applicant as qualified as the next or overqualified. It’s insane right now.
that's insane. I make right near 26 an hour working at a warehouse in a cheaper state. Please tell me that 17-22 an hour isn't also in some bigger city with 2k a month rent
@@wendyspirres9132Which direction are you leaning? I like applicants who are great interviews. The resume is important but nothing beats a great interview.
@@freeinghumanitynow some people are all talk, nothing else. An interview is just a brief moment of people parking up their feathers or flat out lying
Where I live, almost all job postings are not really hiring. Jobs at the local gas station have competition for one opening. At a gas station. The manager at the gas station told me he got 100 applications for a job in the deli at the gas station. Imagine an economy where people compete for a job at the truckstop. Oh wait, I don't have to imagine.
Re: this lady ranting about why college grads should just take any job like bartending, barista, etc. Well, let me tell u it's not easy to get those jobs either. Many college grads are in the same boat 🚢. When they apply, they're told to " fuck off", you're overqualified.
Thats the boat im in right now. I have a Master's in Integrated Biomedical Sciences and am hoping to get accepted into a PhD program. In the meantime I'm applying my ass off at VARIOUS laboratory and lab tech positions but I have only gotten one response out of the 20+ jobs I've applied to. Many of them I've gone to in person. I'm not stuck up thinking I'm over qualified, quite the oppsoite. But either way, I feel I should be a shoe-in for some of these positions but I get NOTHING.
yeah being an introvert I had to learn that the hard way ... now I'm consciously trying to network with ppl because of its long term and definite benefits
At this point all the signs point towards starting your own business or focusing on side hustles even though it shouldn't be this way. Side hustles have become a necessity. The optimistic part is that companies are paying such low wages that it is probably not too difficult for your side hustles to exceed what they're offering. At least that's what I hope, I'm yet to achieve this. Fingers crossed for everybody.
I think the best financial decision I ever made was never going to college. Even back when I was in high-school, over 15 years ago, i knew it was a scam. If everyone goes to college then it's not valuable anymore, real world job experience will always be more important.
The low wages are the result of NAFTA, globalization, and proliferation of the internet around the world. If a job in your field can be performed overseas, your salary will have to be competitive with the foreign workers. For many foreign workers, $10/hr is a lot of money. Large corporations want to maximize earnings. They don't care who they hire as long as they can do the job and are willing to work for the lowest wage.
There's going to be some physical jobs meaning you need to physically be there like technical trades, plumbing, electrical, HVAC. Things will break and need to get fixed, rebuilt or built out. Just be willing to do some labor while using your brains. It's not for everyone but the money is there and you don't have to do it forever.
Corporations don't "want" to maximize earning but have a legal fiduciary responsibility to maximize profits for their shareholders. A CEO that didn't look for the lowest cost solution can be sued by the shareholders. It is how the system works. Corporations are not charities.
@@ericl452 Explain the "flexibility". If I'm the CEO of company X and we make widgets and I choose to buy my plastic from a place that charges 4x then I'm personally liable and can be sued to the Moon and back. Again, explain the "flexibility" and how that LEGALLY works.
@@Rheisler1475 when I went to orientation. They told people that they weren't accepting college attending applicants at the time. They were only looking for full timers. But they should've told us this before we wasted our time going over there.

Y’all been LIED TO for years by your school “counselors” and “teachers.” I personally know people making over $100,000 doing plumbing and most just have a highschool level education. A CRAIN OPERATOR makes about $200,000 in New York, about the same as a MEDICAL DOCTOR without the 1/4 million in student loan debt. At my workplace, the truck drivers make the same as a veterinarians and managers here…. It’s about having real world skills the market place needs and KNOWING PEOPLE ON THE INSIDE (networking.) NO ONE CARES you have 2, 3 degrees if it’s in some useless garbage or you don’t know people in the field.
Very true. I drive a trash truck and I'm very happy with the pay. There's a couple people in California that make 200k. Yes 200k. He goes out to different states that need help due to storm damage and make very very good money. He's the one making 200k a year
Those are blue collar job, but some jobs require schooling. some people genuinely want to work in their field and they won't be looked at without the degree, like a surgeon. you can only go so far with knowing someone in the field or having a good talk game.
@@pmerancieryes!! Plus those blue collar jobs are so hard on your body!! Not everyone is willing to have their body practically fall apart before they’re even 40yo just to make “good”money
@@chantalreneehayles7976 I come from a family of blue-collar workers and married into a family of blue-collar workers, and I don't know any of them whose bodies are "falling apart" by the time they're 40s. If anything, they're in better shape than the people I know who work desk jobs (including myself). Also, in jobs like Plumbing and Electrical work, you can start your own businesses and have people do the work for you. I'm not saying blue collar work is for everyone, but don't discount it.
I got laid off almost a month ago and have put out 100 applications and resumes. Custom designer cover letters. I have a bachelor's degree in finance. I've had nothing but rejections. Life just really sucks right now and I kind of wish I had never been born
@@TheASG2010 funny you mentioned that, but I have a degree in computer science. I've been working in retail for over a year now while applying for jobs in my field and have been coding/programming for fun at this point. you know its depressing when you network with someone who's in your field, he never went to college for said field, pulls up in his orange c8 corvette, and then proceeds to tell you to "go back and get your Batchelor's". Why must i suffer, bro?
I only have a high school diploma and I was working in finance with college graduates for 2 decades. I have finance agencies contacting me constantly to sign up with them because companies are desperately looking for experience like mine. Companies want people with no degrees so that they can pay much lower salaries.
Go become a makeup artist. It's quick, you can freelance, and it's almost always hiring in many different places. Both of my cousins had a job within 2 weeks. Full time, too. One actually does nails now because she can sit.
What shocked me most after getting my first job was how random the job application process is (once you're in the job you see it). Applications get lost, applicants mistaken for someone else, petty prejudices (fat people are VERY discriminated against especially by other fat people) and lots of other stupid sh*t. Also a lot of employers don't want to employ someone new they are placating the staff that are covering all the extra hours since the last person left due to breakdown/stress/exhaustion. I'm on job 28, all the ones that were dream jobs I din't get, all the ones I thought had good vibes turned out to be awful places to work, and the ones I took because I was desperate and knew I wouldn't stay long at because I thought everyone would be horrible were the best ones and I stayed years.
It is crazy that they have all these requirements and hoops to jump through for the job, but yet so little pay. I am no longer interested at this point.
Job market is crazy. How can workers demand more money an hour when 100 people want that job? It’s an employers market. They are looking for the most education and experience for the least amount of pay.
Employers want a perfect employee with experience so they don't have to spend time and money training personell. Even Janitorial jobs require experience now. And wages are crap
Funny thing about this BS . Is they have never been more job’s available in American rn . But companies can’t find qualified people . People have no actual skills for actual work . Get worthless degrees . So companies are going to Europe, Asia , Africa , because most re bilingual or trilingual , have decent or better computer skills , don’t write in print as a adult , and most time don’t need to be trained on basic stuff . A degree in performing arts , or philosophy , communication or some bs like that is literally worthless , performing art or music degrees are worthless .. a European out of high school is more prepared for work than a American with a bachelors degree .. that’s just that facts
Alot of these issues began with the government allowing companies to outsource. Seriously who in their right mind thought it be okay to put thousands of their own ppl out of work? What can possably go wrong?
Yeah I graduated with a bachelor's in 2012 took me 2 years to find a crap job. I had to take the worst jobs, volunteer, and kinda work my way into a more stable job in healthcare, which took 6 years. I am not the networking type, so I had to just work and do whatever must be done. But yeah, degrees dont get you a job. You have to work hard, accomplish things, and sell yourself well. Or you need to know someone who can hire you. Its always like this during a recession. When the economy is great its much easier to get your foot in the door.
Good luck and hang in there. It was like that when I was in my early 20s. The only difference is we didn't have as much credit or debt back then. We were just broke jokers.
Some people complain colleges lied to students making them believe they'd get great jobs upon graduation. That's right, and the lie started way before college as flat out indoctrination since ...maybe grammar school. On the other hand, these people never wondered back in college how they could be useful for any employer or if they did they never wondered how thought competition would be. Let's say, there can only be so many jobs for actresses. Many majors look like you need to be self-employed, like communication or philosophy (writing your own books). I know most people struggle to finish college, but overall they learn nothing, including STEM students. Many college skills are actually highly important and useful, especially debating ideas to improve things or fix problems. But I have yet to see a place where decisions are based on through discussions, study and analysis. Everywhere, decisions are always based on power hierarchy routine and emotion.
A lot of schools are just teaching how to follow orders, not to think critically. They keep you running on a hamster wheel from the womb to the tomb, to make a select few insanely rich at the cost of everyone: humans, animals, and the planet.
I have a corporate job in HR and work part time in the service industry right now. Looking to highlight my social skills more, because I have gaps, and feel that I can develop and enhance them in the service industry. While earning more and lowering my food costs as a lot of these places offer free meals and or discounted meals. I have no shame in that, yes I make six figures, but I am not embarrassed to work a $9 an hour job plus tips.
The job market is so fucked that I have a current job that doesn’t even pay well and even then, I feel reluctant to leave that permanent role for a 1 year fixed term role cause who knows how long will I be looking for a role if the fixed term role is not extended. It’s too risky and it makes me wonder will the job market even change?? I’ve been looking for a role for a year, trying to see what opportunities are there and last year a lot of individuals complained just like this and I don’t see any change at all from last year to this year
I'm confused as to why people with degrees are confused and I have a degree. It's simple supply and demand, the more people with these degrees the less valuable they become because they are now common. If you aren't in a high-demand field don't expect high pay just because you went to school for a few years.
Yes! why is this not talked about more. More saturation = more competition for less compensation. This goes for investing as well, the big opportunities are usually in the things that are less crowded.
Job market is horrible, however, the first job shows what the problem is. It's basically general office work (well, the 2024 version of that). Why do we keep churning out millions of kids for tens of thousands of these type of office generalist jobs???
Notice it's mostly women making these videos? Notice their job seeking is in fields of marketing, sales, HR, recruiting, etc. Fields that are becoming less needed by companies. Fields that cost companies money and make little revenue, except for sales. But even sales isn't too difficult.
Young people - the best way to get a job is through someone you know. Always relationship build - it is not schmoozing - it is genuinely keeping up your connections in your chosen field.
This is when you take your college degree and you move overseas and teach english Cost of living is lower and you'll never have to worry about being homeless
@elee522 I've lived in taiwan for twenty years. Going back in july. I tried living in california, and it sucks. I guess I don't feel miserable living overseas I only come back into states To renew my passport or maybe the visit family It's not something I do very often. I just like living overseas.
@elee522 Well, I changed my job every 2 years.This keeps me from feeling miserable. I'm going back to a new city. I couldn't work full time because of my stress disorder Unfortunately. Got it as a kid. However, I have two more years, and I should be finally I guess what I liked about living in Asia was that everything is convenient.

That's crazy. Prices have gone up, packages on everything is smaller, and now companies are paying LESS for the same position vs. 2 years ago. We are in some Twilight Zone times.
Wrong! If "there's jobs out there," it shouldn't take "effort" to find, nor get! It should be EASY and freely handed out with no experience and training provided!
Take what you can get and have the idea of going to work to help people who are in the MOST need. Like daycares and caregiving positions . There’s TONS of nursing home & in home caring jobs in every place I’ve lived in. But the youth usually don’t want to do those jobs because they are very hands on and emotionally demanding. A plus is- You don’t sit at a desk usually also
It feels like ever since some of the states that are required to post the salary being offered for the positions, those companies play more games with their candidates.
It's sad how the youth haven't learn anything about real skills without joining some college to learn something that should've been taught in highschool..these jobs aren't worth the time yet bills need to be paid..sad and it's gonna get extremely worse..
I'm not sure what's going on in the job market now as I just retired for the 3rd time. I am 70. I worked in the trades all my life. I obtained my college education at night over 12 years. I found that the degrees were not as important as my experience. College isn't for everyone. AI will be able to take 20-30% of the jobs away from present and future workers. AI will not replace "Doers" or those who do manual labor, which appears to be what many younger people are looking to avoid. I might be wrong about that, BUT, when I did work a corporate job(miserable), I got laid off after killing myself for someone's else's benefit. The economy is crap world over. I feel bad for young people who were fed the lie about college and the fact their parents made it easy for them growing up(if that contributed to an entitlement mentality). Hopefully, young people will figure out how to build their own business with a sustainable flow of income so they do not kill themselves by buying into a consumerism mentality.
Out of curiosity, why are you retiring a third time? How did you come to choose the trade that you did? How do you look back on everything now at this point in your life? Bonus questions: is who you are at your 70s what you imagined you'd be like? No biggie if it's personal. As a baby in comparison (26), I like to hear other people's stories--especially those more experienced than I in life. In certain ways I think I'm getting myself off to a good start on my own path, but I always have my eyes and ears open to learn and improve myself. In my case, I've obtained a few starter certs in healthcare to start getting experience in the field. Possibly considering radiology, which is a 2 yr program mainly from what I've found. Was always interested in healthcare but hated the idea of both the lengthy commitment of academics and gargantuan debt that becoming a doctor brings. And to be honest, pursuing the nursing path hasn't really appealed to me either. However, when I got a bit older than 18 I came to realize the other different paths I could take. Then, in effort to not let decision paralysis control me, I just picked something I found interesting that I could see myself doing and completed it! While obviously it wasn't as rigorous as med school for doctors, it still felt so fulfilling to have completed it despite the distant voices in my head hurling doubts at me.
@kenkentaylor9690 interesting question. I'm glad to respond, though it may be a bit meandering. Why did I retire 3 times. I retired after 30 years working for the sane company at AT&T. It was a physical job that helped kerp me fit. I always stayed active with outdoor activities and ran 10k's. I attended night classes in an attempt to "further my education." The truth of that was that I didn't want to be bored. I didn't watch TV much, and boozin was a dead end. Chasing "skirt" costs money and time. I preferred hobbies. I am a hands-on guy, which is considered by most as not that smart, so to speak. My first job paid me enough for rent but not much more than that. I wasn't "smart enough" per the high school counselor, so they pointed to the trades. Mechanical things I found interesting and easy. I changed out job positions at AT&T to stay interested. Thankfully, there was room to move around at that time. Now, back to education. I tool classes I was interested in. Physical sciences, literature, art, welding, crafts, the list is long. When I decided to actually get a real degree, I had accumulated over 180 units to put towards a BS degree. Degrees are okay IF they are pertinent to your future job. Period, otherwise I feel it is a waste of time and energy. Focus on classes you like and will enrich your sense of self. Getting a degree in "Egyptian studies" will only help you stay unemployable. WTF wants to hire someone with a BA in nonesense degrees. That is hobby material. As for the medical field, specifically, being a doctor, unless you are truly passionate about really helping people on a level thatvrequire that level of training, I wouldn't bother in the time or the financial burden. There are other ways you can contribute to being involved with people's health. You mentioned x ray technician or other imagining certificates. That is a solid approach. 2 year training, you are in the thick of it, it is working with the doctors and you will know, in mamy respects more than the doctors as to how to interpret the data, specifically the MRI or CAT scans. MRI techs will not be replaced by AI, plumbers, HVAC techs, or electricians. When I retured at 48, yeah, 30 years at 1 gig, and I don't think I looked outside at other employers. AT&T is like working for the military. Rigid and 80% of the time, I was miserable, but that is yet another story for another time. Being retired at 48 after ALWAYS working and going to school is a shock to your system. I took a couple of months off and was getting bored. I was still married at the time, I had 2 daughters to assist with their education and lives, so I went back to work. I worked as a consultant for internet startups. I used what I knew about the telecommunications stuff I learned over time. I did mention I worked in the trades. I learned carpentry because I enjoy working with my hands. I learned tiling because I wanted decent bathrooms and kitchens. I learned cement work because we walk on it. I helped electricians during phases of my home builds and subsequently took night classes in this trade. The same goes for plumbing. Yeah, it sounds like a busy life. Staying physically and mentally engaged keeps many people, such as myself, out of trouble as my mom put it. Anyway, I am interested in many things in life, and not just focusrd one thing. Doctors or engineers that focus on only one specific medium are prone to dissatisfaction, job burnout, and layoffs. If you have only a single talent, follow the example of the law of supply and demand. High supply = at some point low demand. Now, if you're talking about pizza, we'll I could be wrong. But in general, as I am interested in many things, I have always been able to be employed or to find money. If you enjoy what you do, the money is always there. If you don't like what you do, you will ultimately be unemployed or out of work because no one wants to do business with you. So, back to why I worked until 70 and why did I retire 3 times. If you don't have a plan when you retire, no plan equals problems. This is the sane if you get canned from a job or laid off unexpectedly. Most people know that when the hammer is coming down, they choose to ignore it, IMO. So, the first time I retired, I had no plan and wasn't ready for it. Back to work and figure it out getting paid in the meantime at a job a liked and created value. I worked for another 8 years or so, and the economy went south and got laid off like the rest of those in the US. I looked for work but not that hard... I moved to Mexico and hung out in baja surfing and occasionally oversaw the construction of houses being built. This was using my knowledge in all things Mechanical... I came back to the US(left out the part of a divorce. You get over it pretty quick once you get laid again). Worked as a handyman(self employed) making $75 an hour( in 2012 I think). Had some health concerns and went back to work at a "Real job" for the health insurance. A year later, I got tired of that corporate bullshit and bailed. Went back to Mexico for a bit of tutoring english at a local school. Returned to the US and got my English teaching credentials, 3 months later, I traveled to Thailand to teach English at an international school in Bangkok on a years contract. Extended that twice and returned to the US to visit my grandkids. Got another consultant gig to save some cash and get the health insurance. I left out that I save every cent and don't drink, take drugs, smoke dope, do stupid shit or get hung up spending money on women who have a shitty attitude. Do not bother with Westernized women, they are a waste of time. Back to what I think about younger peoples choices. Don't buy a new car, period. Buy a beater for cash, specifically a Honda or Toyota. Forget all cars German. They are money pits. I know, I owned them all. Education, unless you KNOW IN YOUR HEAD NOT YOUR HEART what you want to invest 160k in college for, go to a community college, and they are cheaper. Today's job market is weird. Figure out what you enjoy doing. If you like being an MRI tech, do it. There are hospitals everywhere, and the cost and time for the certificates is small and Investing in yourself is never a waste of money. My stepson is an MRI technician in Thailand. He will likely be taking courses in something else because he enjoys learning and helping others. Similarly to his mother and myself. Lastly, regarding my life. It is unpredictable. Find what you enjoy and Enjoy what you do. Don't waste time with people that pose as friends and are not. People at work are not your friends, they are acquaintances. They can be you your friends, at some point, you determine that. Work relationships can go sour on a dime like and girlfriend. Money. We all want it. If you drink beer(I enjoyed it at one time) or sodas or coffee. Calculate how much you spend per week, month, and year. Take that money and open a TD Waterhouse account and buy into a mutual fund. You will NEVER REGRET IT. Peace out
@kenkentaylor9690 in a nutshell, based on what you presented in your comments, you appear to be doing everything right. Why i learned many trades is because of thevquaility of work i saw being done on job sites AND I wanted the assurance that I could make money other than the job I had. Being scappy, aka flexible, is a good thing. Being open to change is important and, of course, saving money as best you can. Looking in the rear view mirror, I have done what I wanted mostly, within reason. I did not dine with the rich and famous, and honestly, that existence is foreign and uninviting. Having stuff to impress people is a waste of time and energy. Traveling outside the US, is important to gain perspective on where you live and the importance of how to live not to mention the internal messaging that the US is the best place in the world. Mamy people would differ with that stance. I live easier than most because I don't collect stuff. Saving money was difficult, getting out of debt, regardless of what year you were born, is next to impossible. You don't need 6 pairs of shoes, designer pants or 7 watches. Seperate "Wants from Needs".
Employers don't hire based your the applicants' need. They don't hire based on some imagined social contract. They hire based on the economic outlook. My company cut budgets across the board based on lower earnings expectation - not earning growth - just lower revenue. As a result I lost a third of my team (all contract workers). Now the rest are overworked, underpaid and demotivated. And I don't even have the option to make tiktok videos about it because no one wants to watch an overweight boomer with bad hair complaining.
So TRUE 💯 I work for DHA So I totally understand this we was talking today about this me and my employees do 3 different jobs 🤦🏾♀️ cause all the budgets cuts
Smh. Two year bartender needs to watch the part where the girl is saying she got denied from Walmart despite them clearly being understaffed. Same thing happened to me. The 👏🏾 places 👏🏾 are 👏🏾 not 👏🏾 hiring! Goddamn what don’t they GET *edit to add - I actually took a job last fall through a temp agency that actually did pay $12 an hour. Seriously. Grown adults. $12. And there wasn’t enough work to get a full 40h/ week out of it either. Do the math. And six months later, after 8 of the 10 people they’d hired had been gone because it was stupid, poorly organized on top of being vastly underpaid, they still couldn’t come up with a permanent position for the two of us left. And once our term technically ended and they didn’t extend us (again, the contract was originally only supposed to be for two months) they relisted it. For $12/hr. This was a governmental agency contractor that employed temps at $12/hr to process people’s benefits paperwork, mind you. So y’all can all kiss my ass about “just take something so you have some money.”
Yeah take anything so you have some money is a bad advice. Then companies will start offering less money in general because they know people will always agree to work on these low salaries

@@TellEmBoi Please, please emphasize this to your viewers. I have nieces and nephews in their early twenties starting in the job market. I tell them if that job is not enough to pay their share of rent, utilities, and gas in their car to get to said job, do not accept this job. The family will find cash for you to get by. I have heard and seen too many incidents in which young get injured at these jobs or on their way to these jobs and these places just let them go. They would have been better off staying unemployed.
You the dum dum for taking the $12 job an hour, I’d rather work at Amazon or ups for $18 then get paid Pennie’s and sit on my behind doing Childs work.
It's sounding like you have to either work for your family business or have someone who already works in the company to bring you in. Both my husband and I have this going on at the companies we are working for and our nieces and nephews are all working for their family businesses. I even put in my resignation twice since I have been working there when I got upset with them, but I rescinded it and they took me back because of my "work ethics". The executives and managament at these companies we are working for are all complaining about people being lazy, so they are cherry picking really bad and they openly talk to us employees about it. I work for one of the largest US public companies and my husband works for a small family owned company, yet the same things are going on at both of them.
Back when I was struggling finding jobs Everyone just said you’re doing it wrong and it’s all my fault Y’all lucky people not saying y’all just lazy and don’t want to work lol I have jobs and they don’t pay a lot but money is money and it all adds up…and I can still invest save budget… It’s hard finding a job period lol I’ll keep my jobs until I find something better until then I’ll keep my low paying jobs lol
If i didnt have a job i would absolutely take a $25k job. Having anything is better than nothing. Even if it wouldnt be enough to cover costs its slowing the bleeding to get more time to find something better
I took a job that paid basic salary before when I graduated and would take that $25K again if I need to make sure that the (however much) cash keep coming and the experience is counting. But keep applying and looking for other better roles even after you got a job. Ofc, it's not livable wages but it's better than no cashflow at all.
While some spent hundreds of thousands for a degree, I spent time building myself at a company and proving myself over time. I don’t regret that choice. The ppl that judged me for not going to school wish they had the executive salary I do now. You don’t need that piece of paper - you need work ethic and patience
True I have a degree but work vendor jobs, it is on call but they always have jobs something is better then nothing, until you can find something you like or in your career
4 years of college DOES NOT equal to experience. Sorry. Schools telling these kids, they'll be making $1,000,000 per year should be a crime. Everyone and their grandma has a degree now also. It is so true. You need to work anywhere you can. I grew up knowing that 80% of people DO NOT work in their field. Start somewhere, meet people and it will lead you to the right path. These new kids will not work anything else and keep saying, "I have a degree....yadadadad" "I can't find a job"....Start somewhere. Yes. I did accept a job that paid $15K a year when I first got my Bachelor degree. Now I'm making 6 figures. For you to say that they shouldn't. 25K per year is a huge raise over $0 per year. Think about it.
Today's bachelor degree takes away from your high school degree, so you are given a few years to get rid of the mostly woke bachelor learning to bring you back to high school sense so you don't wreck companies. The challenge is the # of jobs are shrinking and too many people are applying. Why? The work force doubled letting women in. Guys had to double down and women can't compete. The women working are false #metoo ing the guys so HR doesn't have time to hire anyone. The result is the chaos these women are complaining about. For guys, manufacturing is hiring provided you can swing a hammer doing trades.
That 25k-a-year job looks great to someone bringing in *zero* dollars a year. I would definitely take that job to get off the ground floor short-term if I DID NOT have a job at all. Obviously would be hard, but 12 > 0 in the end. That being said, its still messed up that its happening.
Most of the people did not say what their major was. Those that did was Marketing and communication types. I'm hearing mostly success from son's classmates but they studied STEM. 25K? Gosh, my walmart advertises $14/hour and JoAnn's $18/hour.
I have an assoc in STEM (cyber security) and no offers or jobs listed for entry level. Not sure if STEM is where it's at anymore unless you're on Fiverr and do the gig economy
@@justhereforagoodtime88 I am sorry to hear this. I'm starting to think local economies are playing a big role in experiences. I can easily think of 3 classmates of my son ( age 24) who were recently employed. Two with associates degrees. Two of the three have purchased starter homes. It's wild the how things are going so differently in other parts of the country. I wish you and all the best.
We can't get any applications except for "retirees"... At our store (family owned liquor store, we have 3 locations) there's only 2 coworkers who are younger then me in our building and I'm 36.... I'm not sure why younger people aren't applying 🤔 I'll get the overtime pay in the meantime I guess 😂
You should already know why the young isn’t applying… They know the jig of the American dream is up, the schooling and trading schooling obviously isn’t helping them survive thus them turning to tik tok, TH-cam, instagram, influencing for money because these jobs aren’t cutting it. Who wants to work for pennies and still can’t afford rent or groceries WITH a degree?
Companies are already pricing in artificial intelligence and smartphone apps for automation...... Guess what, the bank teller in the UK is largely extinct in 12 short months - 6000 bank branches closed. Loan brokers, mortgage advisors present in those branches... GONE. These jobs aren't coming back.
Get a trade. I will never tell my kids to go to college for a degree. Trade less time way less debt and more money. That way you have options be a worker or business owner or both🤷🏾♀️ there’s ways around everything in my eyes
Not all 4 year degrees are the same. As someone who develops online training professionally, when we hire, we do look at the quality of your education. If you went through some online program like University of Phoenix, Grand Canyon University, Southern New Hampshire, Liberty, these institutions don't have the same weight as if you were going to a regional State College. Even for someone who develops online training I would rather hire someone who went to a reputable brick and mortar school. If I see a regional University on a resume what are school I'm familiar with the quality of their graduates, they do go to the top of the pile. Keep that in mind when you're selecting schools.
For you to be a recruiter and to say something like this, you’re just another cog in the wheel of the educational-industrial complex. A lot of online programs offered by brick and mortar schools are charging ungodly amounts of money just because of their “brick and mortar” reputation. So people turn to cheaper schools with online as their primary delivery like SHNU and Pheonix. Program content and outcomes at online-only schools have increased over the years and it’s not fair to exclude online degree holders. Online programs are not like they were 15 or even 10 years ago.
I have a GED and my wife has a high school diploma. We just retired. She at 58 and I at 61. We have no bills and own our home outright. I have a pension and we have accumulated approximately 2 million dollars in assets, cash and investments!
Last year I decided to get a new job. I sent out 5 applications. I got a job offer from each one. All were well over $100,000 per year. Learn a skilled trade, get good at it, and employment will not be a problem. Dangerous work pays a lot more.
My husband is in hazmat owner operator. He did a chemical contract that nets him 3-4 weekly after taxes and expenses. If truck goes down then no money but we own real estate too. It's still very dangerous if that truck flips or gets hits. I met him doing this. Tried to bring him into tech, but he said not now. He always says to get hard skills. I went into cybersecurity and already had my own business. Got the certifications, networked and studied, and landed to 2 contracts remotely.
For every one of these complaining, at least 3 are lying to the interview phase like one of the clips mentioned. My last employers hired so many incompetent zoomers that pacified the generally room temperature IQ HR & recruiters and the company had to restructure a few teams and move people around because the ones with new hires weren't performing their job duties.
Revelation 21:3 and 4, hope is in sight, just keep trying best you can and get a free Bible study to support yourself and comfort yourself. There’s nothing worse than wind milling yourself in the air.
I feel so bad for people looking for jobs right now. But, something I can't pity is people with degrees and no work experience complaining that people with "only" a high school diploma or GED are getting jobs and college graduates are not. Why should someone who hasn't worked a full-time job in their early to mid 20's deserve a job more than someone who been working full time and learning valuable skills since they were teenagers? Also, how would she know they lied on their resumes? I didn't go to college, but I know advanced Excel, intermediate SQL, and I am familiar with Python because I self studied.
@@Gavin_Francis I honestly think it's very beneficial for everyone (unless you're in the trades) to learn SQL and Python! I am seeing more and more job descriptions listing Excel and SQL knowledge required, and Python preferred for jobs that only used to require Excel. Pretty soon, I believe Python will be requured knowledge, as well.
Y’all say take bartending jobs as if it’s not a good job. Starting to look like bartending is better than most college graduate jobs. I grew up in the college family and at one time…it got you a great job. But I still always considered being a bartender as a great job.
Bartending is great now. But Many clubs are closing down and none of gen z wants to learn to play a real instrument or learn to play rock n roll to support those clubs. Socialization in real life is a dying art. It wont be long (rock and roll boomers will die off) till that bar/nightclub industry and bartenders are out of a job. The point is No job is safe..........
It wasn't such a great job during the pandemic. I know of a great bartending school that offers graduates unlimited practice and free job placement. Only takes one week full time to graduate. Good deal especially considering you can pay for that school in one or two weekends bartending.
Both my sons are 18 working two remote positions with no degrees. I got them into tech, but they took whatever work from home they could find until they moved into tech. They're both doing well. I'm in cybersecurity and have my own business. The job market is terrible, but I told my kids not to focus on that. Just build skills and make yourself marketable. Job fairs, staffing contracts, and apprenticeships look into it all. My friend just landed a software testing role, making $40 an hr. She is new to tech, too.
I think you’re exactly right, people are not acquiring skills that are practical, I have 2 remotes jobs but I’m tech savy and bilingüal Spanish/English thats the only thing I have an upper hand and thats how I market myself, haven’t had trouble finding jobs I have a skill not everyone has and have built experience
@LM_2802 I haven't had any issues with employment . I'm thankful to my husband. I had the useless degrees, and he told me to focus on hard skills. I waited until my kids got a little older to explore tech. I didn't want to give up my business, but during the pandemic, I was fearful I would close permanently. So, I went and explored cybersecurity. He's a hazmat trucker owner operator. We both comfortably bring a good amount , but we're not foolish to think this will be forever. So we're paying everything and focused on investments. I know better now, so I made sure my kids got into good fields. My daughter is entering college next year to become an aeronautical engineer. No one is coming to save us, so as an immigrant and Army veteran, I personally believe America is a great country despite the times we're in, so focus on the opportunities.
You are bragging about "advising" people to get into tech? That is one of the worst fields to get into because they do more layoffs than any other field. The companies in that field start up and shut down quicker than any other field and have ZERO loyalty to employees.
@famousibarra1 I didn't brag about anything. That's why ppl don't offer advice to miserable ppl. I clearly said it was hard, but you can still make it. I'm in cybersecurity and still being offered positions. My daughter focused on aeronautical engineering. My husband is a hazmat trucker. If I honestly said his earnings as an owner operator, someone will be offended or it's bragging. I've helped and shared information freely what I've done. Feel free to ignore or use what you can. I clearly said my kids took whatever remote position was open until they got into tech. We have never got complacent with any company. We own real estate and other investments. I told them to be strategic.
It's not like this when you're in demand for your target market. Find a path that will make you highly valuable to employers, figure out what's in demand in your location, and consider if you're willing to do retraining/re-education, take low pay for a while to be a resident/trainee/apprentice, and/or relocate to a place where your skills and qualifications are in demand. It's 100% possible. Stop looking for the same jobs that everybody has/wants
Graduate with a masters, bar tender works as a good looking mid 20 year old female. As a male, you won’t make as much money. And having a job isn’t the problem. It’s the pay you need to live. Can’t live off $10 an hour anymore. Then again that woman batted her eyelashes for 150% tips from drunks. Lol
My son makes 80k in Cali managing an oil change shop in national chain great benefits HARD work. He's comfortable, lives under his means. Still going to school he's young.

@@darylyost7273 Yes, partying is bad if it's done frequently. Occasional gaming isn't bad at all. Moderation is the key. Yes, you're likely to have health problems from constant sedentary work, but regular exercise before or after work can mitigate the condition. Alternatively, you can have a workstation with an under-desk treadmill or bike. Plus, the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle are gradual, while the likelihood of injury or death from blue-collar work is considerably higher. The risks are more immediate. (I have people close to me who have witnessed that sort of thing happening.) Not everyone is cut out for manual labor. Similarly, not everyone can or wants to work a desk job. People have different preferences, gifts, conditions, levels of risk tolerance, etc. Manual labor would work well if you're a strapping young able-bodied man. It's definitely not for people like me-a middle-aged, neurodivergent petite female. I thrive in tasks that involve the mind. (Yes, I did manual labor strictly out of necessity for almost three years. Unsurprisingly, it didn't go well.) Again, everybody's different. Both manual and intellectual types of work are needed for society to function.
First of all vote for politicians that want to bring jobs back to the US.. Next when looking to study for a career .. investigate what type of worker is in demand in the area you want to work and which jobs have the hardest time for employers to fill .. If everyone wants to work in Marketing and there are only a few jobs ... don't complain about poor planning on your part..
PREACH!! Joe & Camel shipped most of the US based jobs over to China, India, Pakistan, Etc. Then people are crying and clueless yelling “Where did all the good jobs go ?”. People don’t look at the chain reaction of the decisions they vote for!!! The best jobs I’ve had in my life were during COVID. People better watch who they vote for 😂.
When I see some of these gorgeous young women I just think to myself they should be at home raising kids. But in this disgusting, greedy rat race we live in very few people can afford it!

Some companies are required to put job listings but they have no real intention of hiring. It should be illegal honestly
True.

Why? I don't understand this practice.
Fake job listings definitely shouldn't be allowed
@@ericcarson342 Because it's not a thing. 😅
Most applicants have no idea how hiring actually works and using third party job apps in 2024 is just dumb.
Many (not all) vacancies are going to be internal promotions.
The real problem is requiring so much experience for entry level positions. That's a real problem.
That said, the social media cry babies are unhireable. They need to focus on being influencers and growing their brands because organizations aren't going to hire them. Social media influencers are drama and firms don't want to deal with it.
I posted a front desk/medical receptionist job and got almost 100 applications in two days… people with bachelors and masters degrees applying for a job that pays between 17 and 22 dollars per hour. Each applicant as qualified as the next or overqualified. It’s insane right now.

Re: this lady ranting about why college grads should just take any job like bartending, barista, etc. Well, let me tell u it's not easy to get those jobs either. Many college grads are in the same boat 🚢. When they apply, they're told to " fuck off", you're overqualified.
Thats the boat im in right now. I have a Master's in Integrated Biomedical Sciences and am hoping to get accepted into a PhD program. In the meantime I'm applying my ass off at VARIOUS laboratory and lab tech positions but I have only gotten one response out of the 20+ jobs I've applied to. Many of them I've gone to in person.
I'm not stuck up thinking I'm over qualified, quite the oppsoite. But either way, I feel I should be a shoe-in for some of these positions but I get NOTHING.
If you don’t know people…. YOU ARE SCREWED!

No you are
At this point all the signs point towards starting your own business or focusing on side hustles even though it shouldn't be this way. Side hustles have become a necessity. The optimistic part is that companies are paying such low wages that it is probably not too difficult for your side hustles to exceed what they're offering. At least that's what I hope, I'm yet to achieve this. Fingers crossed for everybody.
Yup I’m tired of this. I will just create my own opportunities. Eventually most people will do the same and then the tables will turn.
I think the best financial decision I ever made was never going to college. Even back when I was in high-school, over 15 years ago, i knew it was a scam. If everyone goes to college then it's not valuable anymore, real world job experience will always be more important.
💯 i remember even 10 years ago having coworkers in retail with biology degrees
Depends what you go for. There are degrees like engineering and medicine which are doing well. Problem is 95% of degrees are useless.
You did the right thing. Going to college was the worst mistake I ever made.
I agree
BINGOOOOOOOO
The low wages are the result of NAFTA, globalization, and proliferation of the internet around the world. If a job in your field can be performed overseas, your salary will have to be competitive with the foreign workers. For many foreign workers, $10/hr is a lot of money. Large corporations want to maximize earnings. They don't care who they hire as long as they can do the job and are willing to work for the lowest wage.
There's going to be some physical jobs meaning you need to physically be there like technical trades, plumbing, electrical, HVAC. Things will break and need to get fixed, rebuilt or built out. Just be willing to do some labor while using your brains. It's not for everyone but the money is there and you don't have to do it forever.
thats what the illegals are for@@activistgranny2.066
Corporations don't "want" to maximize earning but have a legal fiduciary responsibility to maximize profits for their shareholders. A CEO that didn't look for the lowest cost solution can be sued by the shareholders. It is how the system works. Corporations are not charities.
@@fullclipaudio Mostly true. They do have some flexibility, otherwise almost nothing would be made or done in the USA.
@@ericl452 Explain the "flexibility". If I'm the CEO of company X and we make widgets and I choose to buy my plastic from a place that charges 4x then I'm personally liable and can be sued to the Moon and back. Again, explain the "flexibility" and how that LEGALLY works.

Y’all been LIED TO for years by your school “counselors” and “teachers.” I personally know people making over $100,000 doing plumbing and most just have a highschool level education. A CRAIN OPERATOR makes about $200,000 in New York, about the same as a MEDICAL DOCTOR without the 1/4 million in student loan debt.
At my workplace, the truck drivers make the same as a veterinarians and managers here….
It’s about having real world skills the market place needs and KNOWING PEOPLE ON THE INSIDE (networking.)
NO ONE CARES you have 2, 3 degrees if it’s in some useless garbage or you don’t know people in the field.
Very true. I drive a trash truck and I'm very happy with the pay. There's a couple people in California that make 200k. Yes 200k. He goes out to different states that need help due to storm damage and make very very good money. He's the one making 200k a year

I only have a high school diploma and I was working in finance with college graduates for 2 decades. I have finance agencies contacting me constantly to sign up with them because companies are desperately looking for experience like mine.

Applications get lost, applicants mistaken for someone else, petty prejudices (fat people are VERY discriminated against especially by other fat people) and lots of other stupid sh*t. Also a lot of employers don't want to employ someone new they are placating the staff that are covering all the extra hours since the last person left due to breakdown/stress/exhaustion.

Funny thing about this BS . Is they have never been more job’s available in American rn . But companies can’t find qualified people . People have no actual skills for actual work . Get worthless degrees . So companies are going to Europe, Asia , Africa , because most re bilingual or trilingual , have decent or better computer skills , don’t write in print as a adult , and most time don’t need to be trained on basic stuff . A degree in performing arts , or philosophy , communication or some bs like that is literally worthless , performing art or music degrees are worthless .. a European out of high school is more prepared for work than a American with a bachelors degree .. that’s just that facts
This is why I’m starting a business. I’m employed rn as a scientist but I’m not making as much as I deserve.
The customers are the workers and pay others to do the work themselves for higher prices. Like self checkout.
Alot of these issues began with the government allowing companies to outsource. Seriously who in their right mind thought it be okay to put thousands of their own ppl out of work? What can possably go wrong?

Yeah I graduated with a bachelor's in 2012 took me 2 years to find a crap job. I had to take the worst jobs, volunteer, and kinda work my way into a more stable job in healthcare, which took 6 years. I am not the networking type, so I had to just work and do whatever must be done. But yeah, degrees dont get you a job. You have to work hard, accomplish things, and sell yourself well. Or you need to know someone who can hire you. Its always like this during a recession. When the economy is great its much easier to get your foot in the door.

Some people complain colleges lied to students making them believe they'd get great jobs upon graduation. That's right, and the lie started way before college as flat out indoctrination since ...maybe grammar school.
On the other hand, these people never wondered back in college how they could be useful for any employer or if they did they never wondered how thought competition would be. Let's say, there can only be so many jobs for actresses. Many majors look like you need to be self-employed, like communication or philosophy (writing your own books).
I know most people struggle to finish college, but overall they learn nothing, including STEM students.
Many college skills are actually highly important and useful, especially debating ideas to improve things or fix problems. But I have yet to see a place where decisions are based on through discussions, study and analysis. Everywhere, decisions are always based on power hierarchy routine and emotion.
A lot of schools are just teaching how to follow orders, not to think critically. They keep you running on a hamster wheel from the womb to the tomb, to make a select few insanely rich at the cost of everyone: humans, animals, and the planet.

I'm confused as to why people with degrees are confused and I have a degree. It's simple supply and demand, the more people with these degrees the less valuable they become because they are now common. If you aren't in a high-demand field don't expect high pay just because you went to school for a few years.

That's crazy. Prices have gone up, packages on everything is smaller, and now companies are paying LESS for the same position vs. 2 years ago. We are in some Twilight Zone times.

Wrong!
If "there's jobs out there," it shouldn't take "effort" to find, nor get! It should be EASY and freely handed out with no experience and training provided!
@@marissa._ 100% fact
Take what you can get and have the idea of going to work to help people who are in the MOST need. Like daycares and caregiving positions . There’s TONS of nursing home & in home caring jobs in every place I’ve lived in. But the youth usually don’t want to do those jobs because they are very hands on and emotionally demanding. A plus is- You don’t sit at a desk usually also
I work in this field and I make pretty good money.
That one girl got a masters degree in advertising 😂
no doubt she was advertising herself so well ....
you better be one of those well connected types, or good luck with that.
It feels like ever since some of the states that are required to post the salary being offered for the positions, those companies play more games with their candidates.

Then the cheap places get expensive as standards rise. It is an endless loop. Of tear down and rebuild.
I'm not sure what's going on in the job market now as I just retired for the 3rd time. I am 70. I worked in the trades all my life. I obtained my college education at night over 12 years. I found that the degrees were not as important as my experience. College isn't for everyone. AI will be able to take 20-30% of the jobs away from present and future workers. AI will not replace "Doers" or those who do manual labor, which appears to be what many younger people are looking to avoid. I might be wrong about that, BUT, when I did work a corporate job(miserable), I got laid off after killing myself for someone's else's benefit. The economy is crap world over. I feel bad for young people who were fed the lie about college and the fact their parents made it easy for them growing up(if that contributed to an entitlement mentality). Hopefully, young people will figure out how to build their own business with a sustainable flow of income so they do not kill themselves by buying into a consumerism mentality.
Out of curiosity, why are you retiring a third time? How did you come to choose the trade that you did? How do you look back on everything now at this point in your life? Bonus questions: is who you are at your 70s what you imagined you'd be like? No biggie if it's personal. As a baby in comparison (26), I like to hear other people's stories--especially those more experienced than I in life.
In certain ways I think I'm getting myself off to a good start on my own path, but I always have my eyes and ears open to learn and improve myself. In my case, I've obtained a few starter certs in healthcare to start getting experience in the field. Possibly considering radiology, which is a 2 yr program mainly from what I've found. Was always interested in healthcare but hated the idea of both the lengthy commitment of academics and gargantuan debt that becoming a doctor brings. And to be honest, pursuing the nursing path hasn't really appealed to me either. However, when I got a bit older than 18 I came to realize the other different paths I could take. Then, in effort to not let decision paralysis control me, I just picked something I found interesting that I could see myself doing and completed it! While obviously it wasn't as rigorous as med school for doctors, it still felt so fulfilling to have completed it despite the distant voices in my head hurling doubts at me.
@kenkentaylor9690 interesting question. I'm glad to respond, though it may be a bit meandering. Why did I retire 3 times. I retired after 30 years working for the sane company at AT&T. It was a physical job that helped kerp me fit. I always stayed active with outdoor activities and ran 10k's. I attended night classes in an attempt to "further my education." The truth of that was that I didn't want to be bored. I didn't watch TV much, and boozin was a dead end. Chasing "skirt" costs money and time. I preferred hobbies. I am a hands-on guy, which is considered by most as not that smart, so to speak. My first job paid me enough for rent but not much more than that. I wasn't "smart enough" per the high school counselor, so they pointed to the trades. Mechanical things I found interesting and easy. I changed out job positions at AT&T to stay interested. Thankfully, there was room to move around at that time. Now, back to education. I tool classes I was interested in. Physical sciences, literature, art, welding, crafts, the list is long. When I decided to actually get a real degree, I had accumulated over 180 units to put towards a BS degree. Degrees are okay IF they are pertinent to your future job. Period, otherwise I feel it is a waste of time and energy. Focus on classes you like and will enrich your sense of self. Getting a degree in "Egyptian studies" will only help you stay unemployable. WTF wants to hire someone with a BA in nonesense degrees. That is hobby material. As for the medical field, specifically, being a doctor, unless you are truly passionate about really helping people on a level thatvrequire that level of training, I wouldn't bother in the time or the financial burden. There are other ways you can contribute to being involved with people's health. You mentioned x ray technician or other imagining certificates. That is a solid approach. 2 year training, you are in the thick of it, it is working with the doctors and you will know, in mamy respects more than the doctors as to how to interpret the data, specifically the MRI or CAT scans. MRI techs will not be replaced by AI, plumbers, HVAC techs, or electricians. When I retured at 48, yeah, 30 years at 1 gig, and I don't think I looked outside at other employers. AT&T is like working for the military. Rigid and 80% of the time, I was miserable, but that is yet another story for another time. Being retired at 48 after ALWAYS working and going to school is a shock to your system. I took a couple of months off and was getting bored. I was still married at the time, I had 2 daughters to assist with their education and lives, so I went back to work. I worked as a consultant for internet startups. I used what I knew about the telecommunications stuff I learned over time. I did mention I worked in the trades. I learned carpentry because I enjoy working with my hands. I learned tiling because I wanted decent bathrooms and kitchens. I learned cement work because we walk on it. I helped electricians during phases of my home builds and subsequently took night classes in this trade. The same goes for plumbing. Yeah, it sounds like a busy life. Staying physically and mentally engaged keeps many people, such as myself, out of trouble as my mom put it. Anyway, I am interested in many things in life, and not just focusrd one thing. Doctors or engineers that focus on only one specific medium are prone to dissatisfaction, job burnout, and layoffs. If you have only a single talent, follow the example of the law of supply and demand. High supply = at some point low demand. Now, if you're talking about pizza, we'll I could be wrong. But in general, as I am interested in many things, I have always been able to be employed or to find money. If you enjoy what you do, the money is always there. If you don't like what you do, you will ultimately be unemployed or out of work because no one wants to do business with you. So, back to why I worked until 70 and why did I retire 3 times. If you don't have a plan when you retire, no plan equals problems. This is the sane if you get canned from a job or laid off unexpectedly. Most people know that when the hammer is coming down, they choose to ignore it, IMO. So, the first time I retired, I had no plan and wasn't ready for it. Back to work and figure it out getting paid in the meantime at a job a liked and created value. I worked for another 8 years or so, and the economy went south and got laid off like the rest of those in the US. I looked for work but not that hard... I moved to Mexico and hung out in baja surfing and occasionally oversaw the construction of houses being built. This was using my knowledge in all things Mechanical... I came back to the US(left out the part of a divorce. You get over it pretty quick once you get laid again). Worked as a handyman(self employed) making $75 an hour( in 2012 I think). Had some health concerns and went back to work at a "Real job" for the health insurance. A year later, I got tired of that corporate bullshit and bailed. Went back to Mexico for a bit of tutoring english at a local school. Returned to the US and got my English teaching credentials, 3 months later, I traveled to Thailand to teach English at an international school in Bangkok on a years contract. Extended that twice and returned to the US to visit my grandkids. Got another consultant gig to save some cash and get the health insurance. I left out that I save every cent and don't drink, take drugs, smoke dope, do stupid shit or get hung up spending money on women who have a shitty attitude. Do not bother with Westernized women, they are a waste of time. Back to what I think about younger peoples choices. Don't buy a new car, period. Buy a beater for cash, specifically a Honda or Toyota. Forget all cars German. They are money pits. I know, I owned them all. Education, unless you KNOW IN YOUR HEAD NOT YOUR HEART what you want to invest 160k in college for, go to a community college, and they are cheaper. Today's job market is weird. Figure out what you enjoy doing. If you like being an MRI tech, do it. There are hospitals everywhere, and the cost and time for the certificates is small and Investing in yourself is never a waste of money. My stepson is an MRI technician in Thailand. He will likely be taking courses in something else because he enjoys learning and helping others. Similarly to his mother and myself.
Lastly, regarding my life. It is unpredictable. Find what you enjoy and Enjoy what you do. Don't waste time with people that pose as friends and are not. People at work are not your friends, they are acquaintances. They can be you your friends, at some point, you determine that. Work relationships can go sour on a dime like and girlfriend. Money. We all want it. If you drink beer(I enjoyed it at one time) or sodas or coffee. Calculate how much you spend per week, month, and year. Take that money and open a TD Waterhouse account and buy into a mutual fund. You will NEVER REGRET IT.
Peace out
@kenkentaylor9690 in a nutshell, based on what you presented in your comments, you appear to be doing everything right. Why i learned many trades is because of thevquaility of work i saw being done on job sites AND I wanted the assurance that I could make money other than the job I had. Being scappy, aka flexible, is a good thing. Being open to change is important and, of course, saving money as best you can. Looking in the rear view mirror, I have done what I wanted mostly, within reason. I did not dine with the rich and famous, and honestly, that existence is foreign and uninviting. Having stuff to impress people is a waste of time and energy. Traveling outside the US, is important to gain perspective on where you live and the importance of how to live not to mention the internal messaging that the US is the best place in the world. Mamy people would differ with that stance. I live easier than most because I don't collect stuff. Saving money was difficult, getting out of debt, regardless of what year you were born, is next to impossible. You don't need 6 pairs of shoes, designer pants or 7 watches. Seperate "Wants from Needs".
Thanks for sharing legend
Employers don't hire based your the applicants' need. They don't hire based on some imagined social contract. They hire based on the economic outlook. My company cut budgets across the board based on lower earnings expectation - not earning growth - just lower revenue. As a result I lost a third of my team (all contract workers). Now the rest are overworked, underpaid and demotivated. And I don't even have the option to make tiktok videos about it because no one wants to watch an overweight boomer with bad hair complaining.
So TRUE 💯 I work for DHA So I totally understand this we was talking today about this me and my employees do 3 different jobs 🤦🏾♀️ cause all the budgets cuts
Some of these people complaining they have to settle for minimum wage jobs when I can't even get one of those.
The only thing I would caution is to not complain about current offers because that could also be hindering you from getting a job.
Smh. Two year bartender needs to watch the part where the girl is saying she got denied from Walmart despite them clearly being understaffed. Same thing happened to me.
The 👏🏾 places 👏🏾 are 👏🏾 not 👏🏾 hiring! Goddamn what don’t they GET
*edit to add - I actually took a job last fall through a temp agency that actually did pay $12 an hour. Seriously. Grown adults. $12. And there wasn’t enough work to get a full 40h/ week out of it either. Do the math.
And six months later, after 8 of the 10 people they’d hired had been gone because it was stupid, poorly organized on top of being vastly underpaid, they still couldn’t come up with a permanent position for the two of us left. And once our term technically ended and they didn’t extend us (again, the contract was originally only supposed to be for two months) they relisted it. For $12/hr. This was a governmental agency contractor that employed temps at $12/hr to process people’s benefits paperwork, mind you. So y’all can all kiss my ass about “just take something so you have some money.”
Yeah take anything so you have some money is a bad advice. Then companies will start offering less money in general because they know people will always agree to work on these low salaries
@@TellEmBoi Please, please emphasize this to your viewers. I have nieces and nephews in their early twenties starting in the job market. I tell them if that job is not enough to pay their share of rent, utilities, and gas in their car to get to said job, do not accept this job. The family will find cash for you to get by. I have heard and seen too many incidents in which young get injured at these jobs or on their way to these jobs and these places just let them go. They would have been better off staying unemployed.
You the dum dum for taking the $12 job an hour, I’d rather work at Amazon or ups for $18 then get paid Pennie’s and sit on my behind doing Childs work.
It's sounding like you have to either work for your family business or have someone who already works in the company to bring you in. Both my husband and I have this going on at the companies we are working for and our nieces and nephews are all working for their family businesses. I even put in my resignation twice since I have been working there when I got upset with them, but I rescinded it and they took me back because of my "work ethics". The executives and managament at these companies we are working for are all complaining about people being lazy, so they are cherry picking really bad and they openly talk to us employees about it. I work for one of the largest US public companies and my husband works for a small family owned company, yet the same things are going on at both of them.
Back when I was struggling finding jobs
Everyone just said you’re doing it wrong and it’s all my fault
Y’all lucky people not saying y’all just lazy and don’t want to work lol
I have jobs and they don’t pay a lot but money is money and it all adds up…and I can still invest save budget…
It’s hard finding a job period lol
I’ll keep my jobs until I find something better until then I’ll keep my low paying jobs lol
If i didnt have a job i would absolutely take a $25k job. Having anything is better than nothing. Even if it wouldnt be enough to cover costs its slowing the bleeding to get more time to find something better
I took a job that paid basic salary before when I graduated and would take that $25K again if I need to make sure that the (however much) cash keep coming and the experience is counting. But keep applying and looking for other better roles even after you got a job. Ofc, it's not livable wages but it's better than no cashflow at all.
While some spent hundreds of thousands for a degree, I spent time building myself at a company and proving myself over time.
I don’t regret that choice.
The ppl that judged me for not going to school wish they had the executive salary I do now.
You don’t need that piece of paper - you need work ethic and patience
how did you do that, pls tell me
True I have a degree but work vendor jobs, it is on call but they always have jobs something is better then nothing, until you can find something you like or in your career
4 years of college DOES NOT equal to experience. Sorry. Schools telling these kids, they'll be making $1,000,000 per year should be a crime. Everyone and their grandma has a degree now also.
It is so true. You need to work anywhere you can. I grew up knowing that 80% of people DO NOT work in their field. Start somewhere, meet people and it will lead you to the right path. These new kids will not work anything else and keep saying, "I have a degree....yadadadad" "I can't find a job"....Start somewhere.
Yes. I did accept a job that paid $15K a year when I first got my Bachelor degree. Now I'm making 6 figures.
For you to say that they shouldn't. 25K per year is a huge raise over $0 per year. Think about it.

Today's bachelor degree takes away from your high school degree, so you are given a few years to get rid of the mostly woke bachelor learning to bring you back to high school sense so you don't wreck companies.
The challenge is the # of jobs are shrinking and too many people are applying. Why? The work force doubled letting women in. Guys had to double down and women can't compete. The women working are false #metoo ing the guys so HR doesn't have time to hire anyone. The result is the chaos these women are complaining about.
For guys, manufacturing is hiring provided you can swing a hammer doing trades.
It was the LOUIE purse for me but you saying you need a job and have money issues. Priorities all messed up
That 25k-a-year job looks great to someone bringing in *zero* dollars a year. I would definitely take that job to get off the ground floor short-term if I DID NOT have a job at all. Obviously would be hard, but 12 > 0 in the end.
That being said, its still messed up that its happening.

Not all 4 year degrees are the same. As someone who develops online training professionally, when we hire, we do look at the quality of your education. If you went through some online program like University of Phoenix, Grand Canyon University, Southern New Hampshire, Liberty, these institutions don't have the same weight as if you were going to a regional State College. Even for someone who develops online training I would rather hire someone who went to a reputable brick and mortar school. If I see a regional University on a resume what are school I'm familiar with the quality of their graduates, they do go to the top of the pile. Keep that in mind when you're selecting schools.
For you to be a recruiter and to say something like this, you’re just another cog in the wheel of the educational-industrial complex. A lot of online programs offered by brick and mortar schools are charging ungodly amounts of money just because of their “brick and mortar” reputation. So people turn to cheaper schools with online as their primary delivery like SHNU and Pheonix. Program content and outcomes at online-only schools have increased over the years and it’s not fair to exclude online degree holders. Online programs are not like they were 15 or even 10 years ago.

Both my sons are 18 working two remote positions with no degrees. I got them into tech, but they took whatever work from home they could find until they moved into tech. They're both doing well. I'm in cybersecurity and have my own business. The job market is terrible, but I told my kids not to focus on that. Just build skills and make yourself marketable. Job fairs, staffing contracts, and apprenticeships look into it all. My friend just landed a software testing role, making $40 an hr. She is new to tech, too.

@LM_2802 I haven't had any issues with employment . I'm thankful to my husband. I had the useless degrees, and he told me to focus on hard skills. I waited until my kids got a little older to explore tech.

You are bragging about "advising" people to get into tech? That is one of the worst fields to get into because they do more layoffs than any other field. The companies in that field start up and shut down quicker than any other field and have ZERO loyalty to employees.

@@darylyost7273 Yes, partying is bad if it's done frequently. Occasional gaming isn't bad at all. Moderation is the key. Yes, you're likely to have health problems from constant sedentary work, but regular exercise before or after work can mitigate the condition. Alternatively, you can have a workstation with an under-desk treadmill or bike. Plus, the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle are gradual, while the likelihood of injury or death from blue-collar work is considerably higher. The risks are more immediate. (I have people close to me who have witnessed that sort of thing happening.) Not everyone is cut out for manual labor. Similarly, not everyone can or wants to work a desk job. People have different preferences, gifts, conditions, levels of risk tolerance, etc. Manual labor would work well if you're a strapping young able-bodied man. It's definitely not for people like me-a middle-aged, neurodivergent petite female. I thrive in tasks that involve the mind. (Yes, I did manual labor strictly out of necessity for almost three years. Unsurprisingly, it didn't go well.) Again, everybody's different. Both manual and intellectual types of work are needed for society to function.

Not even Uber eats hire anymore you can’t lane a job easy they don’t have any openings

College Degree don’t mean Jack no more, every time I see a graduation all I see is debt and false hope, good luck ladies and gentlemen
First of all vote for politicians that want to bring jobs back to the US.. Next when looking to study for a career .. investigate what type of worker is in demand in the area you want to work and which jobs have the hardest time for employers to fill .. If everyone wants to work in Marketing and there are only a few jobs ... don't complain about poor planning on your part..
PREACH!! Joe & Camel shipped most of the US based jobs over to China, India, Pakistan, Etc. Then people are crying and clueless yelling “Where did all the good jobs go ?”. People don’t look at the chain reaction of the decisions they vote for!!! The best jobs I’ve had in my life were during COVID. People better watch who they vote for 😂.
When I see some of these gorgeous young women I just think to myself they should be at home raising kids. But in this disgusting, greedy rat race we live in very few people can afford it! The population collapse is a real thing, too. Aren't going to be enough doctors, dentists, engineers. Grim, grim times in my opinion.
Good luck. Bidens open border
