Working people across the country are living in their cars

[richbosszar]

That works on an individual level but nikkas been moving out of NY and Cali en masse for the past decade and fukking up the prices everywhere they go

stop blaming humans for being humans, blame the government for allowing overpopulation to get out of control. if someone leaves cali or nyc thats their own choice for their well being. dont hate the player hate the game and joe biden

And I'll still take you out to the Chessecake factory Capital Grille

People like to use immigrants as an example to shame others by saying they're coming here with nothing and getting far ahead, but truth is many of them are coming here with a loaded ABET-accredited education - that was free to attain with zero school loans. Mexico for example got one of the highest engineer-growing grad rates next to Switzerland.

Many colleges around the world now hold to the same STEM gold standard that we have here in order to get recognized by ABET officially:

APS

amspub.abet.org

You see how many of these international programs were ABET-accredited post 2010?
Well, those people have entered the job market recently, are now entering the job market or will enter the job market.

It's very common in engineering to put Universities on the same level as each other as long as they have the ABET credential. Been that way for decades.
That means a $200k USC education is basically the same as any local, state and now international college.

Older people didn't have to deal with this level of competition where an engineering degree from a local state college is now in direct competition with someone who went to school and finished with the same degree at Instituto Tecnologico de Aguascalientes.

Spoiler: What that really means is that if you're not a top 10-15 programs then it doesn't matter. That's why competition is insane.

This is an M.I.T grad and she's only halfway joking. There are elites/top 10ers and then everybody else:


Competition is so much heavier than it ever was for older bootstrappers to say what they do so casually. The NBA is actually a microcosm of it: international talent came in and showing the world is a pretty dang big place with a lot of insane talent at the highest levels and only so many spots available.

So an immigrant will come here with a loaded education and not the burden of an $80k college debt for an advanced degree. They can put every single dollar they earn to use right away and each of those dollars can be used to pull in an exponential investment. That's a tremendous head start.

that alleged education wont stop for 50% of them from using welfare, and taking money out of my pocket...

And honestly if folk was really smart instead of living in their cars they would sell their cars and cop one of those class C RVs and it don’t even have to be brand new… who’s to say you can’t live out of one of these? Nobody thinks outside the fukkin box

Actually I want to buy the new luxurious ones. Way cheaper than a house still and comfy. Would not mind living in one at all.

I'm referring to them earning their degrees while in their own countries because their universities are now ABET-accredited.
Foreigners can now earn a full-on, ABET-accredited engineering degree in their country for cheap/free, come to America and get a great job.

In contrast, Americans get the same ABET-accredited engineering degree and owe $80k in predatory student loans.

They government stay fukking us over here stateside.

@BucciMane are they fukking with the spread again

Another thing more people should consider doing if their debt is out of control is chapter 7 bankruptcy. When my debt got out of control I did it and it was the best decision I ever made.

Not really an option for most Americans because of the rental conundrum. You can't get anyone to rent you a primary dwelling with that bankruptcy. You need the rented dwelling while saving for a house .

Vast majority of Americans don't have family willing to let them live with them for the half a decade it takes to save a deposit for a starter home or condo in most major metros. And that's ignoring the difficulty you will have finding a home lender with that earlier bankruptcy

 

[Ya Sinning Mane]

I said it before, but it's up to people to demand higher salary.

Do you look at the salary range before applying?

When you they ask you about pay, what do you tell them?

If your current job isn't paying enough, have you tried looking for other jobs and demanding more from them?

Man wtf
No shyt.
How bout these jobs pay the living wage of your state in the first place

I'm talking about people that are currently renting. You can absolutely keep a lease while filing.

Eat and butcher the rich that jack up prices

A French revolution would never happen here. You would have half the country chiming along with Queen Antoinette, telling the other half of the population to eat cake .


And the half of folks without cake, would be lying to themselves thinking they can one day get a crumb of cake if they grind hard enough

indian engineers are not the same as american engineers, ask boeing.
foreign colleges are the equivalent of american high schools in middle class areas
most third world countries scam with their degrees and accreditations, like all those nigerian nurses in london, these schools cannot be trust with any credentials they give out most of the time

 

[richbosszar]

People can talk all day about the situation we in in this country but the most important thing is we as citizens regardless of how much money u make need to fight back against the system

That means people who make six figures, people who make minimum wage, landlords, renters, and homeless need to stand together so we can stop these corporations from literally squeezing people to the point where they can’t even live a life

landlords are apart of the problem... thats like telling the deers to band together with the wolves to stop the snakes...

I don't think you know what ABET stands for then really. It's basically the best accreditation in the world of engineering and completely 3rd party.

That is primarily the first and many times the only thing that matters to most companies looking to hire engineers - if their program has been ABET
Your degree is basically worthless for engineering without that accreditation (unless it's from a top 15 school like M.I.T, Caltech, etc.).

That's how important and valued that accreditation is. It's to make sure you have an actual engineering program and not an "engineering program mixed with liberal arts" or "human centered engineering" like some colleges (Boston College) do.

No company worth a shyt will value an American hire without that accreditation over a foreigner with that accreditation. It's also on many automatic filtering applications. You can probably be a Math teacher, but not an engineer.

Not necessarily cause landlords in a sense are effected by the state of the country too

Landlords are like the police who try to stop a protest, the banks is telling them to tear gas the people but it’s up to them to actually stand with renters so we can do something about these housing prices
