Was given yesterday a job offer by Alex Jones.Who payed for him to be in studio { Austin.Tx. } and a generous stipend { $ 3,000 }. PLus a rather juicy job offer to work for Infowars as a Reporter from New York state. Said Evicted man is long- haired Michael Rotondo,age 30,from Camillus, New York.He made national news when interviewed and made TV news.He was ordered by a New York Supreme court judge to move out of his parents Camillus home after they sued their son.
This is not your garden variety piece of cake ... folks. Because many a fellar has been thru this.Rush Limbaugh went thru it.His mom pretty much told him enough already. You'll have to get a job and place of your own. I dare say Sean Hannity as well.
The reason this topic is important is due to the likelihood of a new social norm.That being,more and more Millennials are staying at home { Living off Mommy and Daddy } longer and longer. Whereas my Grandparents got married right out of 8th grade and went to work.Today's Millennials are chossing not to marry and also not leave home { the nest }. Plus when you have a guy like the last President { Obama } lauding his ObamaCare because it allows young adults to stay on their Mommy and Daddy's Health Insurance coverage till age 26. Any way you slice it means possible trouble for a Society. It retards the need to be self-supporting and starting one's own family with enough room to make adjustments.Meaning going thru the normal trials & tribulations of being a homeowner and parent.Like learing how to ride a bicycle or tying one's shoes.Or going Potty if an Obama supporter.
Well ... well ... well.Seems I might have struck a nerve,I did. That PF may have more 30 yr.old type living at home than previously thought.Therefore the skittish nature of posting about it. Like I mean,who is gonna post about living at home with Mommy and Daddy at that age.The same number who like sitting in their basement all day in their jammies and little refrigerators and 15 " b & w TV's and maybe a nice VHS recorder.Plus plenty of cereal and of course little stuffed animals.
I have a suspicion that this story might be fabricated. The news media loves to view the millennial generation poorly. The only reason I can think of is they don't watch them.
I stayed with my parents until myth mid 20s, I did so because I was attended college which they graciously offered to pay for. Why would I dishonor my parents and their generosity by denying that or feeling ashamed of it?
This idea that "millenials" want to stay at home with mom and dad and be unemployed has got to stop. Living at home with your parents as a young adult severely hampers the one thing young adults want more than anything else: sex. The idea that they willingly put themselves in that position is absurd. Millennials are at home with mom and dad because they can't AFFORD to start their own lives. They went through college and racked up a tremendous debt only to graduate and hit the job scene and discover that their degree is worthless, every employer has experience requirements attached to their entry level positions, rent and the cost of just living is sky high and they have no options. You've got degree holders bagging groceries. Maybe you might want to look at the situation again before shaking your angry fist at those damn lazy kids. Grandma and grandpa got married right out of eighth grade in a time so different it might as well be an alien planet.
Because it was unheard of for males { especially in the Golden Age of Cinema } for a young man to stay at home.In fact,many a Great legendary actor ran away from home as mere boys.Cary Grant and W.C.Fields and Burt Lancaster plus many others joined the circus. Meaning in that Era there was a stigma attached to staying home instead of going out and fielding a livelihood.It was expected that a female stay home.But not Males.Even that was seldom iron clad.Grace Kelly left home to do as many young girls.She stayed at a Woman's Boarding house.Like in the very good novel - Brooklyn -.
It's been said often enough about Baby Boomers as to their being spoiled.Multiply that by 300 % and you got todays Millennials. Who have their nose in the air when it comes to entry level jobs. Like busing tables or manual outside labor.Back in the Golden Age there wasn't that Luxury.Especially after WW I.
Yes its true, things were worse during THE GREAT DEPRESSION. During the WW 2 era and up through the 70s, you could make a living off unskilled labor. You weren't rich, but you wouldn't starve on the street either.Today, if you want to avoid starving to death literally, you need to work two or three such jobs. Millennials aren't turning their noses up at entry level positions, employers are turning their noses up at entry level workers by requiring years of experience for their entry level positions. Try not to confuse your disdain for milennials with an actual argument. From the sounds of it, you have no idea what you're talking about and you don't really care if you do or not. You just want to frown in disapproval.
we don't live in that era and as much as you want to I don't think you're going to be able to stigmatize people for doing what you think they shouldn't do. So what?
I stayed at home to go to college. I willingly put myself into that position to have a better future. If sex is so important to you that you have to run out of the house and go f*** at 18 then by all means do it. I went to college and my parents were gracious enough to pay for it. I wish they had told me not to pursue something so pointless. Because I never worked in the field I studied. After searching for a job for a month I took a job that I could get. I worked in that field for five years then after not getting anywhere and it I started putting myself through school. To develop a more marketable skill. the problem is I got bad advice in high school everybody did they told us to follow our passion and that will never amount to anything career-wise if we didn't go to college. My Grandad served in the military I couldn't they wouldn't take me.
do they have their noses in the air about entry level jobs? Most of the time when I go to a restaurant the Busboys and waiters are all millennials. When I go to the grocery store the people working in the registers are typically Millennials or younger. I think you're buying into media hype they are programming you to think this way. Maybe you should shut your mouth and open your my eyes and you can see for yourself.
This is also Political.Barack Benito Obama needed Millennials in 2012 to win the Presidency.Millennials and college age kids who spend their Time { Not Working } but on Social Media.The better to captivate their interests and make Life seem cushy.Like how Obama treated the Presidency. It's just a snap.Whatever he said or wanted was at his fingertips. Or he'd frame things with his Lapdog media as his water carriers. Young men don't grow or learn by staying in the nest. Keep in mind Obama never had as much as a part time job.Arguably worked a weekend or two at a Baskin Robbins. So of course Obama appealed to the weakness of Millennials. That they could eventually have free college.All the food stamps they'll ever need.Maybe a nice cushy Federal job.Maybe w/o even leaving their basement.
This is abject nonsense. Degrees are NOT worthless, unless you are stupid enough to choose one which patently is (Social Studies, Liberal Arts, etc). Pretty much all STEM grads find well paid employment immediately. PS: These well paid STEM grads also quite often stay at home well into their 20's. They do so to save enough for a down payment on their first property purchase.
that's funny you mention that the lap dog media is a product of Prior Generations older Generations are dumb enough to believe them the Millennials don't. and the older Generations desperately need them to go to work so that through Social Security they can steal their wealth. Something that not so greatest Generation created wait a minute I'm confused somebody else voted for Obama besides millennials not self-centered hippies from the baby boomer generation or gen xers? Are the Millennials somehow responsible for the Kennedy assassination or the cover-up of Life on Mars? it's funny you say that because it seems to be the boomer generation that is absorbing wealth through Social Security. They deserve to retire at 65 and get a fat check from the government every month of their life until they reach 85.
BINGO! I'm personally outraged that High School Careers advisers are still telling kids to follow their passion. They must think a) it's still 1995, and b) that all their students are the spoiled children of billionaires, so can roll according to whim. Bad enough that some parents actually do this, and end up ruining the lives of their kids, but teachers doing it is disgusting. Kids should be taught first and foremost that the glory days of total hubris and endless money are well and truly over .. so they need to make a short list of PAYING professions, and choose the one which they hate the least.
I hope to God that enough of us Millennials and gen-xers have talked to them to the point where they don't buy that s***. Pursued career that can make money and become passionate about it
Something that happened to me the other day is a young man I have a youth group that I volunteer with was in his last year of high school and the school district I live in has built a vocational based High School and he attended that school and he's going to graduate from high school just a few classes short of a degree and certification in AC repair. Needless to say in Houston where we were experiencing 95 degrees Fahrenheit just yesterday and AC repairman is going to have plenty of work. That's pretty cool
It's a pretty recent idea that people should move from their parent's house at age 18--maybe the middle of the 20th century. Before that, people stayed with in their parent's house until they either got an out of town job or got married.
If my sons hadn't planned on going to college (one wants to be an engineer, the other a MD), I would have encouraged them to get into HVAC as a trade.
I agree with you on that. The problem is that for a while about 8 or 9 years ago at the height of the recession, older people were taking all of those entry level jobs. From what I've seen Gen Z (current name for the post-Millenials) like to work. Then again, that could be because I don't know many Millenials, but as my sons are in Gen Z, I know Gen Z. Just curious, what degree did you get that you never worked at? What is your more practical degree? I never worked at my original degree (Biology), but I learned a lot in process of getting the degree, which help me with my job today. My job today didn't exist when I was in college, 30 some odd years ago.
NDT. I'm in classes now to try and get into that. Non-destructive testing if you have a welding background and you get your certifications you can easily make a high six-figure salary but you have to like doing it because it is a demanding job.
