everybody wants to focus on the jackasses and not the salt-of-the-earth type. Or you can say the Baby Boomers are all just a bunch of pot-smoking hippies Generation X is just a bunch of near do Wells and college dropouts and Millennials are just a bunch of gender-confused walking trigger warnings if you want to be pessimistic about Humanity. bachelor's in psychology I bailed on the Masters didn't see a point in wasting 3 more years of my life pursuing nothing. The degree that paid off is an Associates of applied science the one akademiks tell you not to get but I got it in welding. I'm working on certifications in NDT.
Economic conditions are vastly different between then and now. It's nothing to do with Millennials, but with costs of living and the job market.
Yup, psychology is one of those things that a B.S. is worthless, except as a stepping stone to an M.A./M.S. in psych. I really doubt, though, that academics (meaning college level and above) would tell you not to get an applied associates degree in a technical field if that was your interest. I think this country is setting up a false dichotomy between academics and the rest of the world.
even then it's relatively worthless you aren't going to make a lot of money doing that you can but chances are you won't. I really doubt, though, that academics (meaning college level and above) would tell you not to get an applied associates degree in a technical field if that was your interest.[/QUOTE] summer academics do I was told by academics that it was a bad idea because the only thing I can think of is the academic that told me thinks that academics is all there is. Well I don't know if it's a false dichotomy I never really had much respect for academics short of a few years pursuing academics myself. They're good for teaching they are good for very very few things I think we spend too much time pursuing academic accolades. Far too many people go to college by which I mean 4-year universities undergrad and grad school. The whole system seems to have become a farm 2 take government money from people who can't afford to go to college. So we have a problem with trying to I hate to use the word brainwash but I can think of nothing better students to go to college other wise they will be flipping burgers. After I get my certifications just five years out into the field I could possibly be making money that would make doctors and lawyers jealous with a damn associates degree.
Well, I consider myself an academic (B.S., two M.A.s, and ABD Ph.D. (meaning I have done all the coursework for a Ph.D., just didn't finish my dissertation). I don't see other academics (at college level) that would suggest that academia and college degrees are the only way to go. (now, I will admit it's common at high school level to hear that). Anyway, you are just perpetuating the whole academia vs. working man thing, and it's foolish. Everybody needs to do what is appropriate for them. For some, that's dropping out in high school; others, it's finishing high school; going to tech school; others, a four year degree, others a Master's, others a professional degree, or a Ph.D. There are some jobs that can only be obtained via a degree, and that's ok. yes, there are some stupid degree options out there, but honestly, they are the exception, not the rule. There aren't many transgender icecream studies majors out there. Glad that you have found something that you like to do that's lucrative, but that doesn't mean that college is never a good thing.
I don't care what you see I agree with you that it's foolish but I disagree with you in that I am not doing that. If academics are the way for you then do it. If you have to play the little song and dance to get a certificate to work in a field that's the part of the equation I have an issue with. you will get no argument with me on this. I'm sorry I find the employers that require a bachelor's degree and window washing or basket weaving stupid that is a worthless degree that no one ever needs. It is just perpetuating the stupidity. I did not say it was never a good thing please stop putting words in my mouth.
Like what, bankrupt social security? You older generations are so ****ing full of yourselves, but you ****ed us. You ****ED us and now you're blaming us for being ****ed.
Bull****. We're the one's who built those systems and this country. The people you tend to elect are the people bankrupting it with your progressive spending habits. The country was great when we were in charge. We gave it to you and it went to ****.
So are you trying to say that 30 year olds should at least have a job instead of living at home and eating free lunch, everyday? Maybe the 'thing' that caused this person's parents' to become irate could be the idea that he/she was eating eating eating but not doing anything to burn off the calories somehow... and so they were concerned that he/she, left to be allowed to do this, would cause their son or daughter to become overweight and maybe even become a 'home potato' not doing anything besides staying indoors... you know... like vegetate at home all day, everyday.. eating, watching t.v. etc. etc... at 30 years of age... he/she has many years ahead of him/her... the 'honoring' of parents is even within this scenario. If the 30 something year old was to have 'honored' the parents by somehow meeting their 'needs' while being at home, the parents might not have felt as if his or her life was being squandered away by doing nothing for self.. clean the house, do the lawn, keep the fences, vacuum, mop, bathrooms, pick up leaves in the driveway, wash the car, keep self clean, not make a mess, don't invite every friend, take out the trash, etc..... and by doing this, he/she would have gained enough motivation to do something other than tend to his/her parents' home and to them and might have sought out for personal things while after they gained useful and necessary tools to survive on their own. How is anyone supposed to know how to do laundry if they've never used a washing machine at home? So even if this person was living with parents, as long as he or she is contributing to the wellness of the home and family, what could be wrong or shameful about that? It's only from the 'single ladies' that might find this sort of 'living arrangement' odd and embarrassing. Single ladies prefer independent men. Not to have to move in with the 'in-laws'. They know what they will be doing in the bedroom and so don't want to 'bring in' such bedroom activities to the husband's family's home. As far as parents living with their married son or daughter under the same roof? It happens alot more than mentioned.. And they usually have no complaints.. Their 'social circle' revolves around those that are at home and friends of those that are at home. They're not 'into' the personal high end cars, such as BMW, etc... There are 'career' minded and then there are 'family' minded. Career mindedness is what is held in 'esteem' in certain Countries, such as The US. Well at least in the parts I know of... Think about it.. The idea of a 'career' is so a person can 'raise' family even if it is their 'own personal' immediate family.. And when they have children, the children live in their parents' home until, maybe the age of 30, before being 'evicted'? And yet again, this is not the real concern if a member of the family is being neglected for another member's pursuit of liberty, happiness, and freedom.. This is my opinion as to where such 'problems' arise from. The multi language speaking. They are of a certain 'race' but don't speak their own language at home and so become as those that do speak that language, although, they themselves, are not part of that race nor of the customs and/or traditions belonging to that language. It's like an Asian person trying to live as an English Cultured person although the person has Asian customs and histories in their blood and not English customs and histories in their blood... But because the US has so many different cultures and languages and because the US currency is only in English, everyone in the US, regardless of custom, heritage, tradition or race, has to be more in lines with and in the English 'way'. However, if the currency used in the US was the Chinese 'yen', then everyone would be lining up with the Chinese way of doing things even though they would be speaking English. It has to do with 'reading'... English uses the English alphabet. Chinese have their own. England used to have a slight variation but today, English, is basically the same regardless of Countries. Although the Romanized Latin Alphabet, A,B,C,D, etc.. can be used to spell out phonetics of sounds to words, the language itself is different and read and written with different language rules. 1 Cherokee New Testament (CHR) 1 ᎯᎠ ᎪᏪᎵ ᎧᏃᎮᎭ ᏧᏁᏢᏔᏅᏒ ᏥᏌ ᎦᎶᏁᏛ, ᏕᏫ ᎤᏪᏥ, ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᎤᏪᏥ. 2 ᎡᏆᎭᎻ ᎡᏏᎩ ᎤᏕᏁᎴᎢ; ᎡᏏᎩᏃ ᏤᎦᏈ ᎤᏕᏁᎴᎢ, ᏤᎦᏈᏃ ᏧᏓ ᎠᎴ ᎾᏍᎩ ᎠᎾᏓᏅᏟ ᎬᏩᏕᏁᎴᎢ; 3 ᏧᏓᏃ ᏇᎵᏏ ᎠᎴ ᏎᎳ ᎬᏩᏕᏁᎴᎢ ᏖᎹ ᏚᎾᏄᎪᏫᏎᎢ; ᏇᎵᏏᏃ ᎢᏏᎳᎻ ᎤᏕᏁᎴᎢ; ᎢᏏᎳᎻᏃ ᎡᎵᎻ ᎤᏕᏁᎴᎢ; 4 ᎡᎵᎻᏃ ᎡᎻᏂᏓᏈ ᎤᏕᏁᎴᎢ; ᎡᎻᏂᏓᏈᏃ ᎾᏐᏂ ᎤᏕᏁᎴᎢ; ᎾᏐᏂᏃ ᏌᎵᎹ ᎤᏕᏁᎴᎢ; NKYƐM A EDI KAN NNWOM 1-41 Ɔtreneeni ne ɔdebɔneyɛfo 1 Nhyira nka onipa a ontie nnebɔneyɛfo afotu, na onni nnebɔneyɛfo nneyɛe akyi, na onni wɔn a wodi fɛw nso akyi. 2 Na mmom, ɔde anigye di Awurade mmara so, na odwen ho awia ne anadwo nyinaa. 3 Ɔte sɛ nnua a enyin wɔ asuten ho, na ɛsow aba bere a ɛsɛ mu a ne nhaban no nguan.

I could be wrong about this, but could it have something to do with job opportunities relative to availability and cost of nearby housing? When you have to work 35 hours a week just to pay for housing instead of 20, and the types of jobs available to you as a young person are fewer, well then it's little surprise that this generation seems more reluctant to go out on their own. The fact that this story came out of New York isn't that surprising.
