People underestimate how much more competitive technology/globalization has made life in America

Prior to millennials/Gen Z, professional life was far less competitive and you were rewarded for hard work

You now comes down to credentials, network and a growing, specialized skillset to even begin to compete with educated people moving from all over the world for that same job

The 9-5/40 hour work week is a relic of a much simpler, less competitive, less expensive time
Tell em.

That's what I said in the other thread.

The ABET institution starting around the 2010's have began validating, verifying and officially giving credentials to other countries' engineering programs.

Now your $200k USC degree has been deemed by a 3rd party committee, from the United States, to be on par with schools like Universidad de los Andes from Colombia (same math, physics, engineering classes and everything) and other schools around the world.


Additionally, all those kids have access to the same free online education via youtube, OCW, Kahn Academy, etc. that we do. The same exact lessons.
That wasn't a thing 30 years ago.

Everyone basically on par today: instead of competing with 340 million adult Americans, you're now competing with 8 BILLION adults from around the world.

Like the NBA found out, CEO's found out those foreigners are pretty good.

Funny thing is, out of the nearly 2k American colleges, only 400 meet the same ABET standard for Mechanical Engineering and other disciplines for example. So in many ways them cats are getting an even more legit education in some 3rd world countries than some schools and students here stateside.

YUP.

The official, American evaluated, accreditation committee started verifying universities' programs around the world heavily in the mid 2010's.

For example, Insper Instituto de Ensino e Pesquisa in Brazil, earned ABET approval for their Computer Engineering and Mechanical Engineering programs a few years ago in 2020.
That's a standard which states that school's program is on par with every other Computer Engineering program around the world to American standard.
Many of those schools are free in their country, paid for by their governments' taxes.

As you can see in this link, many of those countries have free college (like Brazil).

My company recently hired a South American engineer, from a South American university who didn't pay a dime for college. You know how many international people are in companies now? They come here get highly paid and no student debt or significantly less than what we got here. shyt is $800/per credit for some schools if you're a non-resident.

I feel ya. But if you have an obligation or two( not kids necessarily,) that time gets tight. Unless she sliding straight from work into a social situation, I kind of feel where she coming from.. Most of your waking hours being obligated to a gig that barely covers the bare necessities has to make you feel some kind of way…. If she was getting paid a premium salary, she might feel different…. :yeshrug:
I mean, what is unreasonable for other folks isnt her situation though. This a young single white woman with no responsibilities. :ufdup:
She said this is her first job too? Shorty aint gonna make it.

Bruh once you spend 20% of life everyday on I-45 or I-10 at rush hour you’d be questioning your life too:why:

Modern US society is bullshyt, luxuries have now become necessities.
That’s what happens when you live in a dense populated area with a lot of money flow. I use to leave an hour before I needed to for my job in SF. It saved me 45 mins of traffic on the way up. Did it suck? Yeah, but cry about it? :mjlol:

Better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven
I didn't hear shyt about money. She seems like the type living cushy as hell off her job PLUS her parents. Her issue is time lost.
It's her first job... a 9-5... she said she can't afford to live close...

She literally crying about the commute and fun shyt... Welcome to life bytch.. Normal people don't have time for shyt until the weekend, that's why they love the weekend. She said she home at 7 and gotta to be on the train by 7.... Ok that's 3 hours to eat and shower... it's 10pm.. You can still go to bed and get a full 8 hours of sleep and be up at 6... You want more shyt to do, get less sleep. 6 hours is good and you got 5 hours of play time after work.


shyt is crybaby nonsense.. My folks had the same schedule, so did my grandparents. This ain't brand new

Now this I agree with whole heartedly…. If this is causing her to have a nervous breakdown, she will have to be institutionalized if you threw a kid in the mix… this generation’s problem is that they have way too many distractions, and way too many options. They aren’t forced to make a quick decision and rolling with it.

:youngsabo: I understand her. A lot of nikkas #onhere are lazy and are used to the terrible conditions of work in the US. Instead of standing up, they on they knees, head down, and saying 'it's fine", "Massa, the other workers are just lazy, but I sure work hard" meanwhile if they slipped and fell at work, they'd be almost homeless.

You not standing up, and fighting is disrespectful to ppl who came before you.
