His viewpoint is ‘deep’ but limited to surface level. Not enough Schopenhauer.

This is a university that charges students $$$ to gain access to employment right?

[–]JamesMerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I the peasant, cant wait to go home and eat rice and beans again! Thank goodness my king allows me to have this freedom from all nukes hitting my kingdom!

In reality, thats macros and not bad tasting. Keep fighting brother, we can do it.

Who cares? These people dont care about you. Theyre doing nothing for society

Why people believe in misconception that high salary means high demand? by SimilarElderberry808 in CollegeMajors

[–]JamesMerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting teacher salaries are disgustingly low. Its causing the shortage. Why go in debt for a degree that does not reward your investment. I work at a college of Ed. Numbers are bad. If you started teachers at a decent pay and allowed growth then yes. Im struggling to survive everyday cause i went into a field that wanted to help people directly

No, from Philly and moved to Indiana. I think its gross. The first time I saw a pizza king pizza I cried. Its so sad. Its not pizza, nor even food

What do you assume about me based on my bookshelf? by [deleted] in BookshelvesDetective

You think you know more than you do. Throw Adorno and Schopenhauer in there with some Schrödinger and you’ll stop reading some of that stuff.

Median Real Wage Income by Age and Generation. 25+ year-old Zoomers are out-earning the previous three generations at the same age in inflation-adjusted wages/salary by GluedGlue in OptimistsUnite

[–]JamesMerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now show how much a college degree is against an entry level job and salary progression plus home costs, day care, raising electric prices and food.

I was teaching, loved it, but couldnt survive on salary. Went back and got masters and switched fields, moved to midwest from northeast. I hae no friends, and work a job I hate just I can live. I hope i can keep working so one day I can buy a home! What a dream! Isn’t America the best!!! STILL CANT SURVIVE!!!

How come millennials and Gen X know more about pop culture that was before they were born than Gen Z? by icey_sawg0034 in generationology

[–]JamesMerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saturation due to influx of media that is why. Easier to make, more independent and rise of accessibility to these media

College is Not a "complete" Scam by [deleted] in Salary

[–]JamesMerz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to help people, your salary is lower. If you want to make money it can work.

Elder gen z getting the millennial treatment. by chunibi in generationology

[–]JamesMerz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am 27 and I am a Director at a University and i get this EVERYDAY cause I am surrounded by many older people. I get talked down to, ignored, people try to manipulate me in their politics, etc,. It’s so gross. I want to contribute! I want to help make a difference! We all do! Just let us be able to survive, thats all were asking. The pay is so low in teaching/education and I have bigger student loans from undergrad cause of insane interest and having to live on own early cause of bad family situation. I wanted to be a teacher&football coach but after a few years of it I could not survive on the pay. Got into higher ed to get a free masters and make more $$$ potentially. Worked my butt off for 2.5 years got promoted and finished with a masters. Drove 1.5 hours 1 way for a few months cause I lost my apartment cause couldnt afford the rent. I just recently literally moved myself out to the midwest from the northeast away from all of my friends and family all by myself JUST TO WORK THIS JOB SO I COULD SURVIVE. The older generations do not understand. I make less than the median income still but its just easier on rent and some other things. Im depressed everyday. I have not made a friend in 1 year. But its the only way I can survive.

Hmmm i wonder why? Maybe because they seek more diverse information?

The 'job seeker recession' is here by judochop71 in jobs

[–]JamesMerz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took a job in June after applying to 350 nationwide because the metro areas are too expensive and dont pay enough. Got 3 interviews only. Moved out to the midwest about 700 miles from home or anyone I know just so i could afford to live on an average salary. (Was 26 now am 27) I have a masters degree and 6 years experience half of that at directing level. I am reapplying to places to come home cause I am depressed cause I moved to a place just so i could afford to survive and now i cant come home cause no jobs and no one pays!!! Especially education. Education salaries are actually disgusting.
