In 2018, half of U.S. colleges saw a majority of new graduates earn less than $28,000 a year.

better go STEM or get some certs , I wish i knew about this site when I was in HS (2010) , I would be 6cert by now fasho. without the student loan

I mean if you fukk up, why not just get certs and pay the debt? (Not you, but people in general with bad degrees)

I might not get decent paying a job and have a good amount of debt, I was stressing everyday, but I’m like fukk it, I’ll get certs.

You have to be a fool to automatically think that having a stem degree will automatically land you a six figure job.When it comes to engineering degrees you have so many specialist fields that are not always in demand to receive good pay.You have electrical,civil,petroleum and the list goes on.The majority of entry level position are not going to pay you a six figure salary. Senior pay at a top company = six figures but you need 5 or more years of experience
Plus you have other factors such as a lack of demand,nepotism, economic probability and patterns that leads to employment cutbacks.And average to below average schools that are not good at producing good graduates who lack the work experience and who lack the ability to network.Plus how many american graduates are willing to relocate to another country to improve job their prospects?
When you look at the pattern and see the subjects we should not be surprised. Liberal arts,social science, psychology,biology and the list goes on.Such fields have the highest rate of unemployment and underemployment.

Then its time to change the system altogether. The end.

Get a degree, they said... don't worry about those student loans, they said... you'll make 60k right out of college, they said...

Your face when they realized they lied to you, and you're 80k in debt and making barely above minimum wage:

That’s ridiculous, if you take out that much debt and your major is in something that pays like 30k, you might as well not go to school. I can see if you went maybe 10k or even 20k over your potential salary.

But sometimes people major in good shyt and can’t pay for it too.

Anything above 50k and no guaranteed job is just.

Only 5% of Americans have sufficient income, at retirement, to take care of themselves.

The average monthly SSI check is $1k.

49.33% of Americans make less that $30K/YR.

Who cares about how much money you make when you have credit

Pay the minimums while underpaid, claim hardship deferment, and stunt on social media like you're getting the fukking bag
At least you got to go to college and play some sports as a walk on, maybe joined a frat, and fukked some hoes
Made some friends
Totally worth going upside down with no future upside
Plus loan forgiveness is gonna come soon once this bubble finally bursts. They'll take care of the loans because the economic system cannot collapse

Engineer lane is flooded with people and the type of jobs hiring are not in the cities like for petroleum and the young brehs don't want to relocate.

Coli told me 100k jobs are in abundance though

 

[Shang Tsung]

The system is dead and has been for a LONG time. Back to the drawing board and time to create a fair and reasonable economic system.

Europeans will get smashed too and they rarely do it, no more than Americans. Back then maybe, when you had a big socialist movement. Today? Nah. People are just watching Netflix. Nobody is ready for that heat, whether in Europe or in the US.

Ukraine is more a civil war situation. And eastern Europe is more of a violent place compared to western Europe.

Your average French, Germans, etc is not going to war against the gov. And if he does, the gov will use its power.

They literally just had a revolt.

If this include s 2 year and certificate programs, especially at for profit institutions, it's not that suprising.

if it's only 4year degrees

Anything that involves you taking on tens of thousands of dollars in debt is a scam.

[Orange cream shake]

How easy is it to get these certs y’all speaking of . Somebody in my household need to make 100k a year.

 

[Nobu]

22-24 making 6 figures?? who? they aint satisfied with 75K??

these the same mfs with $1000 phones tho

Me. Software. Finishing up school now, but as an intern I've been making over ~100k pro-rated ($45/hr + $1k/mo), and have a full time return offer for well over that.

It's not the majority, this is mostly for Seattle and Bay Area tech companies though. Hard to crack these figures outside of Seattle/Bay/NYC.
