>blue collar
pays like shit, leaves you exhausted, will kill you
>retail and customer-facing
pays like shit, you basically endure abuse or idiocy for eight hours a day
>pink collar and healthcare
can pay very well but the hours are insane and you also have to endure abuse constantly
>white collar work
best-case scenario, pays well, but you're still sitting through 4-hour meetings of nothing but bullshit and wasting your life away in front of a computer
i know i'm missing something because i don't understand how wagies aren't constantly miserable 90% of the time.
yes, sometimes you get a job you just inherently vibe with, or you get to work on something you're actually proud of, like you save someone's life or you help in the construction of a nice useful building
but all of that is rare. the rest of the wagies, do they just dissociate and swallow it down? is it just genuinely not that bad from their point of view?

Are master's programs really just cash cows like everyone keeps telling me?

Tldr all the arguments I hear against doing one:
>costs too much
>easier admissions process
>bad quality of education
>more debt
>can get a job without one anyways
>mainly used by internationals to game visas
>most jobs dont require it

But, I cant help but feel a lot of this is cope from people that dont have one. It has to help get more interviews easier and the wages are probably higher.

I got an admit into UCLA and feel like I should take it. My undergrad was in a shittier state school and the rep would help me out. But its going to be 40grand and dont know if Im just about to get scammed

Yes, originally the logic of postgraduate education was for teaching and working in the university system itself but as university education became more accessible to the masses relatively speaking employers use postgrad degrees to lazily filter out candidates.

i got a comp sci job by

  1. joining an engineering startup when i was 19 and they were desperate for keyboard monkeys
  2. staying there and never getting a new job
  3. getting random promotions based on seniority
  4. attending the stupid corporate parties and being friendly
  5. eventually they automated my job but just put me on dev team even though I didn't have a degree because I convinced them I could do anything if they gave me a few months to teach myself

i was EXTREMELY lucky and I am very glad I never went into debt for the college meme. college is pure usury these days. people are paying off their loans well into their 50s these days. my own parents did that. instead I get guaranteed annual interest on my savings through CDs and bonds (fuck stocks and crypto, they're volatile).

Most people are retarded assholes and the government does not represent my views or needs, instead we have idiots sacrificing my rights to appease elites.
I feel like everyone hates me because I don't side with their religious or political views

I hate the human race
Humans are destructive, why would I want to contribute to a society that constantly kills each other?
Most people are sociopaths
I'm tired of them trying to include me into their soykaf
I think the planet would be better off without humans
I'm tired of humanity, I see no purpose in contributing to this hell

I'd rather be homeless and free to reign than to work for a species of violent apes
I'm tired of all this

>everyone is bad (source: me) therefore I am allowed to fuck them over as much as I want
If morality is too burdensome for you then it would be way less pathetic to just be an unashamed asshole without all these mental gymnastics

Just because you are a communist/socialist does not mean you don't have to work. Work, practically speaking, is the best place to spread socialist ideas. You become the proletariat when you get signed up, so it is easier to spread these ideas among fellow proletarians like you.

Here is a quote from James P. Cannon, a Trotskyist who a lot of his ideas I share with.

Recruiting is literally the biggest joke of all time. Genuinely when I attend recruiting events its like the most suffocating, artificial vibe i've ever seen in my life. Everyone, from the students, to the recruiters, to the professionals are faking everything. "Networking" is essentially just sucking up to whatever recruiter, manager, or employee you can find and bothering them with nothing burger emails. Recruiters probably get literally thousands of emails from students who all think they're special. Networking job fairs are filled to the brim with a bunch of sweaty peeople in suits trying to prostrate themselves the best for some dumb internship. Linkedin is just a cesspool of the most performative and fake characters of all time, In fact i'd say a good plurlity of all posts and job listings on linkedin are AI generated and fake. I genuinely can't wait until AI destroys white collar america and all the former Excel desk jockeys can be part of the revolutionary vanguard.

Yes recruiters literally meet hundreds of students and get thousands of emails, what makes anyone think they’re special or will be uniquely remembered unless they have some special connection.

What are the most EVIL (non-violent so; petty, cowardly..not like at least being a (((soldier))) on the frontline) 100% Legal jobs, under American Capitalism?
I think of:
>Repo Agency CEO
>Medical Debt Collector
>Pharmaceutical Lobbyist\ healthcare company negotiator (meaning; uses legal and other tactics to make CLIENTS pay more, have less benefits)
>specialised pro-landlord Lawyer\ pro-gentrification legislator
what else!!

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

Currently majoring in an applied science, in the beginning I thought about pivoting to data science/analytics at one point or IT, like many naive STEM grads, or something but I have completely moved on from that due to being paranoid about AI. I am trying to collect all the applied lab skills and work with instruments I can now. Lab workers and technicians have always lived in a type of grey area between white collar and blue collar work after all and I hope this will somewhat immunize me.



 

Stemlords are actually picrel. Its no surprise stemlords are complete retards. Im doing a masters in STEM and can't believe how intellectually barren math and this field is. There is no critical thinking involved, just memorizing some garbage symbols and their rules. Solving some dumb problems with some dumb patterns and repeat.

How did stemlords get so much prestige, while being just mere symbol technicians? Humanities at least teaches some theory and critical thinking, STEM is just complete trash meant for brainlets.

No wonder philosophy underpins all math and logic, stem is just surface level work for retards. I havent encountered a single intellectually deep thought in STEM once.

Pure Math is one of the hardest STEM fields (only behind Physics) and Languages imo is one of the easiest Humanities fields (Arts even more so). A fairer competition would be something like Civil Engineering versus History.

>STEM isnt teaching anything worthy of being applied in the first place. Tell me how intellectually rich a binary tree is, or a stupid depth first search algorithm? Or the concept of logarithms?
The tools with which you can analyze and understand nature, or theorize and build a system. The depth of these tools is only so far as the depth of those who wield them.

OP are you retarded?
STEM has practical subjects that can be traced back to nature.
