I fall in that Millennial age range as much as I hate to admit it and I pulled it off. I know a much younger person that just got an engineer job at a defense contractor. He's definitely in that pay range. He's 23. I've known him since he was 12. Only luck he had was having parents that raised him right. Didn't grow up rich. Worked hard and went to a college out in the country and didn't waste it away partying at some big name tranny factory university. I know another that spent his 18-25 years not doing shit to learn anything useful. He works at a warehouse and lives with his parents with no end in sight.
I get it, shit sucks and it's a hell of a lot worse than when I was a 20-something. I also look around and see so many people just make excuses and give up.
Yeah I'm not a fan of school at all. If I think back I bet every teacher I had a good rapport with is 5 or 10 years into retirement by now. School is a toxic environment and it's not just the students causing it. I scraped my way through a bachelor's degree but I didn't like a second of it. I don't think everyone should do that. If anything a lot fewer should go to university. I'd never suggest anyone go to a university that anyone has heard of. No one has ever asked me about why I went to generic city university since about the first year I was employed. They checked off a box that I have the legit degree and that's it. Maybe the name matters in a few fields, but I'm still skeptical.
The zoomers worry me. I'm really close with my cousin's kid in that barely teenager age. He feels like an outlier to me, not tethered to a phone, has parents, is homeschooled and still seems like "what is this kid turning in to" at times. I'm hoping his aimlessness is just early teen stupidity. He's smart as shit but I just can't ever get him to do anything that is actually productive. A victim of growing up too spoiled I guess.
Why be productive for a society that needs to be cleansed with fire?
What would you prefer? Should I suggest he fling himself off a cliff?
Do you not see it as a problem that a warehouse worker is living with his parents with no end in sight? A job like that should be enough to get one's life sorted out rather than something that barely pay subsistence wages.
