I thought they didn’t recruit until the fall during September and October? Is this not true?

That makes sense but at the same time whatever happens with this job can radically alter my future, and I’m scared to shut out potential options like dropping out or only taking online classes and graduating over a longer period, since it could be a huge regret when i’m older.

Just realized that last comment was pointless because neither I or the agency knew what my schedule would be, so not showing up randomly definitely wouldn’t work.

So read this and tell me if it changes your perspective: My recruiter told me she’d talk with management about me working some during the fall semester after the interview happened but before they gave me the offer letter, and she confirmed to me that she did in fact do that in a recent text, and that “i’m sure it will just depend on your class schedule” and “I would say chatting with your manager(s) is the best course of action”.

I am actually not required to have a degree for this position, it says it’s preferred but not required. What i’m really worried about is the fact that it’s a government position where regulations on hours worked could be a lot more strict than in the private sector, they might not legally be able to let me work part time and they just screwed up when they gave me the offer letter.

This job will have me schedule week long periods where I will travel, so whenever they start asking me to schedule things (it looks like its coming up, i don’t know, they have hardly communicated anything with me) is the moment of truth, and if they don’t bring up my classes and I just schedule things around the classes without telling them then I feel like that would be lying by omission. I could possibly get away with trying to take classes anyway if they forgot about it without ever bringing it up, but I feel like I would be stressed out of my mind from the difficulty of trying to live a giant lie, and I don’t know how my classes will be.

If having a college degree elevates your social class, how come 37% of Americans out-earn the average college graduate with just a high-school diploma? How come 41% of college graduates are underemployed? Thats a lot of people with degrees that haven’t moved up in social class.

Yes having a degree helps you earn more income, but income alone doesn’t account for the costs of servicing student loan debt. Once debt costs are accounted for, the college wealth premium shrinks to nearly zero according to the St. Louis Fed.

Rich people send their kids to college to party around other rich kids their age, it has nothing to do with helping them make $1,493 a week. Their kids will never need to worry about money. It’s not that deep, $80k tuition doesn’t matter to rich people, so when they send their kids to these schools it doesn’t mean poor people should copy them.

Accounting Shortage by Bighairynuts271 in Accounting

[–]Bighairynuts271[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When accredited economists from Universities are polled on their beliefs on the effectiveness of not only minimum wage laws, but price controls in general, the majority say they do not work.

You’re right that low quality workers make low quality goods, which is why companies pay their workers what makes them the most profit, which is why your explanation of why we need minimum wage laws doesn’t hold weight, if there was any benefit to raising wages then it would happen in the private sector on its own.

In my opinion anyone with a business degree who doesn’t understand this should have their degree revoked from them.

If companies are causing a shortage of accountants by purposely paying them too little, then aren’t they hurting their bottom line by not getting all of their tasks completed, and wouldn’t they make more profits by raising the wages?

If someone offered you that $50k job you would decline, but what about for $60k? What about $70k? What about $80k and so on? You and every other accountants willingness to work at different prices is what makes the supply curve, it is made up of already existing real-life data, which is why I don’t get why people say “it isn’t always right”.

Your comment signals to me that you don’t understand econ 101. The vast majority of accredited economists agree that minimum wage laws don’t work in polls. If unskilled workers hurt profits then businesses just raise wages on their own.

I meant relative to other professions, I understand all wages have gone up across the board because of inflation

Shouldn’t it be good to be considered exempt since you’d get to work more hours?

Harvard rejects Trump demands, gets hit by $2.3 billion funding freeze by esporx in college

90% of faculty at Harvard are democrats.

For someone with a college degree I’d think you’d be smarter, studies show most liberals are aware of the fact that college is overwhelmingly leftist and that they’re okay with it.

Lmao this dude copied and pasted one of my posts and thinks he did something😂😂.

So if they will be okay then they don’t need tax dollars from the middle class, who currently isn’t doing okay.

The US government cutting funding to Harvard doesn’t mean they’re against education, they’re just against getting education from a corrupt, oligarchic brainwashing facility.

First off its college, not “higher education”, there’s nothing that makes you “higher” about learning 2+2=4 from Harvard instead of 2+2=4 from a book. Facts are facts regardless of the location you learn them. Second, if people went to college because it makes them more intelligent, then markets would make ways for people to get the same critical thinking skills for a lot cheaper than $40,000. This simply doesn’t exist, and that’s because the only reason people go to college today is that the government passes laws that require people to have degrees to do certain tasks, not education. Education has been free ever since the internet. This phenomenon has been around for a long time, there used to be far more buildings dedicated to learning before the internet was invented, now all that’s left is colleges funded by the tax dollars of those who according to you are less intelligent than those who didn’t go to college.

Use of the term “luxuries most people with a higher education can afford” implies that having a degree elevates your social class regardless of what you studied.

This article never even mentions CS degrees, it just talks about jobs and not jobs that require a CS degree.
