EDITORIAL: The Wall Street whiners - Washington Times
Mostly college grads who didn't get a big paying job right after graduation. We kinda saw this coming. Entitled college grads who think they're degree in Diversity Studies or Multiculturalism and Globalism, or Environmental Studies...........are pissed that Microsoft, Target, Apple, NBC, Google, won't give them 100K a year and a corner office upon graduation.
After all, THEY the students went through their lectures on how evil America is. They eradicated any hint of racism, sexism, bias, discrimination or judgement (except against white christian males) from their minds.
Not everyone backs these crybabies. An older woman lectured the whiny youngsters: My husband and I raise our family of six on a poverty-level income. But we live frugally and built a home business from the ground up. So we live pretty comfortably (though simply). Refuse debt. Live within your means and be a part of a productive solution. Thats the attitude that made America great: Work hard, sacrifice and dont expect something for nothing. Its the exact opposite of the entitlement mentality that has transformed a nation that once was the worlds greatest lender into its largest debtor.
I'd go to work humping pipe on a derrick floor. The oil and gas industry is begging or hires. The pay's decent too.
The fact that some opportunities can still be scrounged up; the fact that it isn't completely impossible for people to get by, even now; the fact that, by working the kind of long hours that our ancestors fought bloody battles in the streets not to have to work without overtime pay, one can manage to hold body and soul together -- does not mean there's nothing wrong with the setup.
I think I'd understand this post better if it weren't in Yoda speak.
What the fuck would you do if you just finished college, are $150,000 in debt with interest payments accruing, no job opportunities available, largely because of the economic collapse, and the jokers who brought it all down are getting blow jobs from strippers on their 50 million dollar yachts? I'd say they have a right to be fucking pissed off, and it would be appreciated if there was some respect for their position and some legitimacy considered for their apparent sentiments. Thank you.
I would have NEVER gone to a damn college that costs 150K and gotten a degree that didn't guarantee a great job. Lots of morons bought into the idea that "OH my fancy liberal arts degree guarantees me a job!!"
Go to a tech school, learn a trade, or be a doctor. Otherwise, college is little help.
OWS folks are learning a life lesson many of us already knew. Education is great. But only work ethic guarantees a job, and even then it may be tough. Entry level, hard work, luck, modesty. That works.
But as we speak, an 18 year old is taking out 200K in loans to major in Multiculturalism Studies at Columbia U, and will protest in 6 years when he graduates and can't find work.
It's amusing to me when people use cartoons as their argument.
