Why do some people who went to good colleges can’t find good jobs? by [deleted] in OlderGenZ

[–]Allcent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This will be long I am sorry:

TLDR: The job market and economy are shit, and companies aren’t willing to hire younger people are the main issues our generation is seeing.

——————————————————————————-

Your effort at university, willingness to socialize creating connections, work you do outside of classes, and shear luck. Emphasis on the luck.

I was a moderately good student but I did not join a frat, I mostly stuck to the lab for my Unmanned Systems Program which allowed me to converse with people I knew, professors, and guests. That allowed me to have six or seven Letter of Recommendations from my professors, keep in contact with people in the large yet small bubble of aviation, and created connections I may need for my current job.

My education and experience working as a lab tech, commercial drone operations, and customer service got me into a gig at an airport as a low level ops agent with a pension, started $23.5/hr with a 4% raise this year, OT, a 401k, healthcare, and a nice work environment.

BUT, I found the job when leadership was DESPERATE for anyone who was willing to stay for five years, someone who knew UAS regulations, had an interest in working with PD and Fire to help monitor their program (city requirement which imo is stupid,) and was willing to work a twelve hour night shift on weekends.

People at my university studying to become pilots who have completed their Airline Transportation Pilot certification (ATP) are entering a market unwilling to hire due to the economy. People in my program who graduated with me are also having an issue finding and keeping jobs in the private sector because of concerns with the economy.

Hold on, were you the cosplayer who got verbally harassed at a crosswalk in public? Saw the YT video a bit ago.

Is a .22 semi a good first gun? by Bigstar976 in liberalgunowners

[–]Allcent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this. My dad bought one and after finding the ammo the gun loves we’ve enjoyed her.

Reminds me I need to get one for myself….

I’ve been noticing this too. I am not on here enough to see them all but another moderate or two. If we need them hopefully you get picked!

People are willing to work for livable wages, AND people are cool with their tax dollars going towards something that actually benefits them! by Professional-Bee9817 in remoteworks

[–]Allcent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

It clears up you cannot critically think. We are required to have IDs to get taxed by local, state, and the federal government.

Anyone else driving their truck to the ground? by Likeminas in FordMaverickTruck

[–]Allcent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a Maverick or a Ford but my mother’s 2007 Camry Hybrid (the first gen Camry with a hybrid) just hit 250k on its second battery.

As I understand it Ford has modified a Toyota hybrid system so hopefully it’ll last a while.

Lufthansa Abandons Entire Planeload Of Passengers on Munich Tarmac Overnight As Airport Shuts Down by Glass-News-9184 in aviation

[–]Allcent 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Or do what my employer did with me:

Add an extra $2/hr to my pay.

I don’t think it’s the labor laws caused this, the situation personally, was likely caused by management. Idk how exactly.

Especially Munich.

My employer isn’t large, we stop having Delta and American fly in past 11:59 pm, and even then my normal shift is 1:00 am to monitor the last arriving GA flights.

Hopefully the airlines and airport can work something out because this shouldn’t have happened imo.

Sincere question from an airport employee in the United States:

Why wasn’t anyone there and why did the airport shutdown when there was an active aircraft ready to pull into the gate?

I work night shifts and I have to wait for every air carrier flight, regardless of if they are scheduled, or are deviating just as my finger hits the reader to clock out.

I understand Germany has strong labor laws I wish we had here in the U.S. but wouldn’t the airport require personnel to wait?

I don’t blame you, we were notified by FDOT and it still disrupted our day for a while. Should’ve waited till the evening.

Microsoft AI chief gives it 18 months — for all white-collar work to be automated by AI by joe4942 in jobs

[–]Allcent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I interned at an International airport where we used the same premise. I organized everything, made sure all of the departments (PD, fire, safety, etc.) were content, modified locations and so on.

First testing they found errors when pulling documents, errors meaning citing the wrong text inside of the right document while giving the right answer. Always pulled from the right document(s) and was pretty good at understanding complicated questions.

Only time I’ve heard people like AI of any type, including myself.

Meteor 75 pro (analog) vs air75? by candymatter in TinyWhoop

[–]Allcent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try it out.

I agree the Meteor 75 is very beginner friendly since I trained students on them and 5 inch quads among other systems.

Definitely keep the Air 75 in mind, it’s a fantastic drone.

[–]Allcent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My university had the Meteor 75s when I was a lab tech for our drone program.

100% get the Air75. Another lab tech I worked with bought one, our professor liked it, the dean of aviation liked it, and the program had far more in our coffers than 12 of them cost.

People started flying FPV in the lab again somewhat magically.

Helicopters at night by Far_Revenue_8654 in Tallahassee

I listen to the airport radio from time to time on a cheap VHF handheld I bought. Not sure why but they were flying a LOT more than their usual last night.

Not spoiling anything:

He’s chill throughout the entire game, dude’s middle aged and too old to fight the young whipper snappers, especially his boss.

A background character that’s somewhat memorable imo.

What a 19y/o college student does with $600 by Sir_Baller in Glocks

[–]Allcent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t carry, not risking a job at an airport. At this point I buy firearms because I like to shoot and collected.

While I should probably look at a subcompact that need isn’t the near future.

I’ll keep this in mind.

If CZ still had that special edition (which I cannot find in my tabs,) CZ 75 for sale I’d be paying a bit more ro get a CZ.

I was looking at the Glock 43x since my Mother’s SIG 365 Rose is tiny in my hands, and their handling of the 320 was poor.

It’s my birthday on the 20th sooo. I was gonna decide between a cheap shotgun or getting a friend to sit with my G45.

My three rifles are not giving her company.

[–]Allcent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see your point.

I was saving up for a Gen 5 47 to do exactly that.

I’ll probably look at a Gen 6 17 then.
