Men without college degrees are dropping out of the workforce because they viewed their dead-end jobs as a threat to social status

[Wild self]

I can’t imagine a 32-54 year old man dropping out of the workforce for clout.

Younger? Sure. Why get paid $15/hr when you can sleep, smoke and fukk all day?

That’s part of what the gig economy is about. Time management.

Clout is more serious than you think in this superficial IG era.

Cats wanna be drug dealers and scammers and rappers so bad, that they forego their own financial future for some p*ssy and clout. It's that crazy out here.

 

[Wild self]

jobless is better for your social status?

The 9 to 5 working class (heterosexual) male is the most disrespected demographic out there today. Yeah, if you unemployed, you can mask it and make it sound sexy on some "Ima hustla and ima artist" to delusional broads.

where they going?

I can posts memes all day about capitalism now

I wonder what the racial break down for these trends are, specifically in regards to attitudes about marriage and having kids.

I think for white folks these trends will lead to a larger share of white children being born to late 30s college educated men.

The world is full of goofys in 2022 and it's all thanks to social media.

You’re right that social media is amplifying this. Everybody is a boss. They just happen to be running failing companies.

Yeah, and the thing is, you can mask that and make it look cool. Better to be a boss of a failing company or idea, with dope experiences, than to be an employee in the eyes of broads.

Ima keep it real, if I wasn’t trying to become a scientist I would definitely seriously consider robbing drug dealers and banks

Is it, though?

I feel like this is all internet shyt. In real life, all I see are nine-to-five men with good jobs finding women and having a couple kids or living the DINK life. There are a lot of childless couples with two incomes living the travel life out here.

I think a lot of this disrespect comes from a very small amount of people doing the most on Instagram and TikTok and all that.

Its more commonplace than you think

Okay, go get a degree then. We need tons of nurses and senior care specialists, and a lot of technical programs will still be viable even with mechanization. Become a plumber or commercial baker and not a welder.

White men thinking that they should be handed high five figures and a pension for putting cogs on wheels in a factory all day doesn't move me in the slightest.

Lol welders make great money

I know this, but the welders I know tell me that roboticization of their jobs is a threat in the medium term. Maybe a younger man might want to aim for another trade.
