>This sounds like something a boomer would say.
There's some kernel of truth to it: compsci graduates have highest unemployment numbers (7%) vs anyone graduating from a humanities major BUT humanities graduates have higher underemployment numbers than compsci graduates meaning that there's a greater chance that a humanities graduate will take any job vs a compsci graduate which will rather remain unemployed and bide their time

I dunno where else to vent, my workplace is going to shit and I feel like I'm going to be jobless soon, I started interviewing but I feel so nervous that I fucked up a leetcode easy, it wasn't even DP related, I just froze in the spot. I have no idea what will next year even look like

Just had an interview at a lab, they straight-up told me they don't have a job for me and that I just try again in 4 months for the coming 6 months period. They still showed me around for an entire hour and gave me all their personal contact information. Weirdest interview experience so far.

I'm tired of failing to get a good job. Even if I get a good job, what will be it, realistically? Probably $3k monthly at best where I am, in IT. In a very lucky scenario maybe $5k or $7k but that's entering "purely theoretical" territory.
Anyway, I'm tired.
How do I start dealing drugs? I heard they earn shittons of money. Where to get started?

I actually hate STEM because it's too hard and I think the Humanities are easier. Is there something wrong with me? Am I a brainlet?

>>1370
>hate STEM because it's too hard and I think the Humanities are easier.
which field of STEM and which field of humanities?

>>1340
>How
Capitalism. The rote memorization makes good worker. Thinking does not. school is not for learning its like a pedigree certificate. you still need familiar connections the cert is just proof. you are supposed to trade money and time for network not for education.
>>1342
>speak with your professors
They can't do anything about a system working as intended.
>>1344
>get into philosophy
philosophy is also infested with stem brainworms. its been replaced with analytics

>>1371
Math and English Language Arts respectively

Professors at my college were quite happy to give practical examples, feel like the main thing holding them back from putting it in the course material was time constraints, which ya know, capitalism upstream.

In December 1912, the UMWA had sent 21 "recruiting teams" to the Southern Colorado coalfields. These recruiting teams generally consisted of two union men: one who would embed himself among the miners and another who would find employment with the local management. Working in tandem, each pairing would locate miners who were opposed to unionization and report them to the company as union sympathizers—an offense that generally resulted in contract termination—in order to covertly replace them with genuine union members. It is possible that up to 3,000 UMWA members were introduced to the coalfields in such a manner.[20]: 10–11

hmmmm

>I was thinking that the nonprofit industry/social worker sector might be very useful to unionize.
I've recently begun considering social work as a career path is it worth it?

That's fucked up

You should study the great October socialist revolution.

Creating a participatory/democratic class organization is the correct thing to do. The bolsheviki created the Soviets with other left factions and then struggled democratically within them for political leadership over the movement. If you don't commit to a structural Democratic form of organizing the class you end up in a position where political line gets propagated and accepted on the basis of the technical skills of whatever cadre follow that line not actual mass acceptance of the political doctrine behind it. This leads to an overestimation of forces and political prematurity. You can look at the humiliating failure of the dual union period in domestic communist policy in the United States for a clear view of what happens when you try to organize all of the radical elements and organizations separate from the rest of the class rather than creating democratic class organizations and functioning within them for political leadership. The reason that the strategy of boring from within was defeated in addition to the overall political moment was the fact that existing unions were not democratic, but when you're creating new organizations you don't have that problem. The Union Democratic struggle also allows communists to establish themselves in parallel to the proletariat's overall political task as described by Lenin as " the vanguard fighter for democracy".

I've already lived in China for half a year after all.

>The program is for tech workers, sweetie, not bloggers.
I think it's more for foreign scientists because China has plenty of tech workers. With anti-rationalism gaining ground in the USA and the aging and decay of scientific facilities like the Arecibo radio telescope, China will be where science takes place from here on out.

I live in the US and work a quality role in manufacturing, and I feel ripped off by these guys on a daily basis. I genuinely believe that at least one person will die using our product due to the parts that China sends us. These things are supposed to be made to the same standard as the satellites that go into space, but I find it hard to believe they're made to any sort of standard.

Can't imagine having to live there.

Same. plus i have a kid, and elders (who are halfway decent people) to take care of. guess i'm stuck in the burger reich.

>There is very much something to be said about the settler brain and how easily it is to abandon wherever the fuck you live and go somewhere else.
as if you have deep roots to the Louisiana land, fuck off HHoudini

war would happen

>>1346

It already is a war, and the workers are losing.

Would make a cool plot device in a gacha game maybe.

>>1297
its not really their fault its just how corporations work. the one example going around right now is where they hire and underpaid immigrant but the conditions of the visa say they have to offer the job domestically first and can only import labor if there is no alternative. so they do fake interviews. its just checking a box to increase profit. if your hr person didn't do it someone else would. they do the same thing when they promote internally to save on retraining. hr isn't any better or worse than any other bullshit job

>>1329
nah but they have a say though, they just choose to remain silent. If the HR managers refused they would either have to lay off the whole department and cripple their hiring (which is an effective strike almost) or just cave and give better working conditions.

These class traitors would never do that though because they are greedy losers that love the feeling over power and steamrolling better workers than themselves. its like acab for HR the good ones probably just get laid off and only the psychos remain

>>1302
lmao no, and CEOs arent proletarian either

>>1317
cops get a lot of benefits everywhere, are you kidding me?

you are allowed to hate the bourgeois no matter how small (as long as you dont present it as "radical praxis")

It's Monday I within 10 minutes I got 2 rejections back-to-back from two end-stage interviews after dozens of initial applications.

It has never been more over.

>>1337
The end stage interviews piss me off, giga time waste. Like 4 or 5 rounds just so one lazy asshole in the end can fail you.

>>1334
My friend works as this and messed up an interview at Apple for the same role. The job is pretty much deadend and sticking out will be an uphill battle as its really just like a factory line. You can try going above and beyond by asking ur manager if you can help with random shit or take work off their plate. Hopefully your at a good company that does internal promotions, otherwise it will be the same. Your next move up would be a data auditor and data quality guy

And even those are a second. Most are single childless adults

mcDonalds has done a lot to propagandize culture into believing that
>fast food workers do not deserve tips
from not putting in a system in place to tip workers
to actively discouraging workers in training to not ask for tips to buying and supporting any form of media that encourages you not to tip fast food workers.

tips are fucking atrocious. just like getting paid by production
