How come boomers always give dumb useless advice?
Is it by design?

90% of boomers still say go to college

How are welders, fabricators and carpenters doing?

College is worthless. I have a degree in physics, no job, no gf. Meanwhile sluts are becoming millionaires selling feet pics.

I like all tradies apart from Electricians. I hope they suffer.

Boomers were always the biggest voting block their entire life. So the system always pandered to them to win elections.

>Boomers were young? Spam build houses so they can move out of home and start families cheap.
>Boomers were middle age? Stop spam building houses and instead increase property values (even if it sinks the entire economy).
>Boomers are old? Import 999999999999999999999999999999999999999 migrants so house prices dont fall.

From the wholly disingenuous study:
Apparently electricians have almost the worst "immediate opportunity" because electricians have to be journeymen for 4-6 years but they do not apply that same requirement for all the jobs that require 4-6 years of post-secondary education YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR as opposed to getting paid.
And furthermore, israel must be destroyed.

The best advice is lie on a resume use your friends as references and get multiple WFH jobs that you half-ass

Read the article you lazy retarded leaf faggot.
Welders have been hit hardest by prefab and long hours making the same welds over and over and over.

Well I will say if you can put up with the bullshit and can save enough or invest enough in 20 years before your body is broken and used up.

Roughneck is still a good option.

Be smart. Do not let some OF hoe or psycho roastie get you to blow all your money month by making you feel guilty because you are gone for two weeks at a time then home for two weeks.

Also literally put a tracking device with audio and visual on that girl. Not playing.
Read testimonies of dudes in the Oilfield who had 60k in the bank, a house and dirtbike s brand new truck, and some extremely hot roastie toodled out the door 1 year later and its allll gone and he’s moving into the workers dorm of the local homeless shelter and all his stuff is in storage. Not even joking.

Because boomers lived through an anomaly of history where if you had a pulse and weren't sub 80iq you would have a good life by just showing up. They are a soft and weak generation brainwashed by TV and sold out their nation for a few extra boats.

>>509421866
Because shitty 40's and 50's home building boom caused a polio epidemic. They were hooking sewer lines right up to storm drain lines to save time and money, the bacteria eventually found its way back into the drinking water and places people swam. They had to curb construction and go back and massively redo most of the sanitation infrastructure in the 60s-90s

>>509421222 (OP)
>have the worst unemployment
What a horrible headline. Use lowest or highest, remove ambiguity.

>>509421308
Terrible.
Trades has not been a magic solution like people heralded, if you hear some dipshits in unison telling you to do something for a job because they make so much the reality is the entry point was a decade+ ago.

The average tradie isn't making bank, they're not swimming in opportunities since they're directly competing against "alternative labor"
>>509422119
Genuinely this is the strat.
Corporate expects you to lie, and the person handling your CV 90% of the time knows nothing about the job.

>>509421222 (OP)
lazy zoomers, you cant all be inspectors, you actually have to work! And if you dont get enough money you get second or third job. It is so simple. There will be enough time to rest and enjoy your money while you retire at 70y old.

any advice like this is bad advice. any time you hear that 'x are needed' it does not mean you should go and become an x. it means if you are already an x you temporarily have decent leverage on employers and should be looking for a new profession because its about to be flooded. Propaganda like 'join trades' is the same as that STEM push that came before it, its purpose is to flood the job market with workers so companies can retain all bargaining power when they want to hire from it.

>>509423391
Same with “learn to code”
There are plumbers and drilling guys and windfarm mechanics etc out there making great money and own their business but that is exactly why they want to flood it.

If they really wanted to boost trades and keep everything good about then intact, they would be boosting unions.

The scariest thing I see happening not many are paying attention to is all these private prisons at 65k a pop for every inmate they can keep in them.
When the immigrants run out, who fo you think will be sitting in them.

The funny thing is, if they gave every neet and homeless person 40k a year to live on, they would actually save the taxpayer 25k a year, times millions of prisoners.

>>509424285
Plus the revenue from all of that 40k going back into the economy.

>>509423391
This guy gets it, by the time they say this, it's way too late.

>>509421222 (OP)
I can tell you from experience there are two main reasons for “unemployment” in those fields, and both of which are desirable to the recipient, as they continue to be paid while not working, usually having a decent nest egg set back.
Situation 1, union is on strike/shit is slow
Situation 2, it’s the brunt of winter/summer and either there is no work available due to seasonal changes in demand, or, the person doesn’t want to work during the worst of it.
Either way, you’re drawing unemployment (or union compensation) and enjoying a nice short vacation. It’s like having the benefits of a teaching gig(summer off) without the shit pay or dealing with Gen Alpha.

>>509422040
it's an article by a woman, so it's going to be biased towards the academic system which favors them and speak detrimentally towards the trades which they want to fill with browns so as to create a power imbalance which favors women over men.

>>509423055
That was us, actually. Millennials threw away all opportunity to get the nation back because we were shamed en masse on social media. :(

>>509421222 (OP)
all these trade jobs require average people to have jobs themselves to pay electricians and plumbers. I work for an electric company in my local area and work is slim now. i've already gone a whole month without work because people are afraid of the current economy and won't spend as much even other other companies are low balling bids to get work.

>>509421285
Boomers have been against college ever since they saw their children who went to college not be able to compete with 1000 other jeet applicants for a job. Now they are pushing the trades scam, which of course they would never work in themselves, they just saw Mike Rowe and fox news say his in demand they were. The boomer works at a white collar job he got with a high school diploma and a firm handshake.

>>509421422
BS in Molecular Biology, MS in Data Science both at top 10 Unis and I can't even get interviews at Bioinformatics companies for which I'm a perfect fit while I know girls with state school business majors who took intro CS courses and now have jobs as software engineers at top shelf companies. Feminism killed all meritocracy and society is imploding as a result. Surf the Kali Yuga m8.

boomers still think it's the 80s that's why. Just talk to one and ask them about the world. I've had boomers absolutely lose their shit on me for just describing the modern world. They don't think it's even real, half the shit you tell them they think you're just making it up because it's so unbelievable. Comes with the territory of getting old I guess. I'm only 30 and even I am mentally stuck in 2005 for certain subjects. PRoblem is lack of awareness of it, boomers do not understand they're out of touch and will vehemently fight you when you do so much as tell them that they're old.

Zoomers I've listened to have it right though, it's not about the boomers, they're done they don't matter. Focus on all the under 25s. Focus on gen A, focus on the future, you wont get anywhere arguing with boomers and even if you did it's far far too late for them.

>>509426055
Guess they need us alienated and pissed off to bring about the actual change the world needs. Historically revolution only needs about 3% of the population to succeed since the vast majority of people just let history happen to them.

>Just knock on doors and give them your resume to show initiative, that'll put you above the rest
My dad bullied me with this one so much I actually did it, spent 2 days just driving around to companies and giving them my resume. I didn't get one call back, he basically said "you must have done it wrong". They live in a gated community in their heads.

>>509421422
>>509425951
Can confirm. Degree in chemistry and computer science. Current job won't let me work on the front end, which would make me full stack. My boss keeps hiring women who can't write and IF statement and don't understand the data, and I have to babysit them for everything. I'm pigeon holed. Can't get interviews for data analytics jobs or lab work. I've had 3 interviews in 4 years and they were all women. Probably not hiring me because I'm a white male

>>509422119
It used to be that being a good person gave you marginal benefit over being a dishonest asshole because people could trust you, hence giving you better opportunities in life as a result. Doing the same in the modern day is an active detriment because everyone sees good people as narcs who will object to morally poor business practices. Good people in the modern age are people to screw in the eyes of business leaders, hiring managers, politicians, and frankly just about everyone these days.

We've turned into such a low trust society that people are gonna start shooting people to get a job. There is no honest work left to do. its not profitable enough

>>509426758
Bruh, I know a guy who got a data science job at IBM not even knowing how to write a python for loop because of (((connections))). Nepotism and diversity are the only way to get anything anymore, frankly I'm surprised the power grid still works at this rate.
>Just get a trade job
No. I came here to work with my mind, not my hands.

I make 45$/hr(well over twice the cost of living in my area) and average 50 hours a week and I'm just a jackoff who can use tools and follow directions. If you're gonna get into trades, go union. Unions are where it's at.

>>509426869
Do we really the think the zoomer doctors and lawyers being churned out now are doing it to help society? They're all doing it for the money alone. Even the non-jeet ones. There's no hope or trust left in society.

The feds don't want principled actors, they want worker bees to prop up the system. People need to understand that literally EVERY facet of modern society is driven by profitability. If you look for it, you cant find a business interaction, social program, or community event not based on capital. Morality is second to profitability.

Exodus 20:23 You shall not make anything to be with Me--gods of silver or gods of gold you shall not make for yourselves.

My dad tells me how he became an electrician because of 3 months of training. They hired anyone with a pulse. Then he said how when he tried to be an electrician again 5 years ago, they said he wasn't qualified enough.

>>509421535
>Electricians.
electricians are cancer, I hope they die violently

>>509423391
Probably true yeah. But the thing is, most people still won't do jobs like this because they physically can't sustain it. They lack the discipline. If you want to do jobs like this for a long time and not wreck your body you have to live like an athlete and take your rest days, nutrition and mental health especially seriously.
Doing this 40+ hours per week, you're actually "training" harder than professional athletes do. But athletes quit before they're 40 and you have to keep doing this until you're 70.
Most people who do these jobs are wasted by age 50. Boomer idiots never listened to their bodies, dumb idiots. Less is more.

Regardless though, being in trades is always going to be interesting because if you develop good business skills and worth for yourself directly for clients, it pays well if you know how to do a mint job, which does require skill and experience that you have to gather somehow. But the biggest reason to be a tradesman is because you know how to build a house, which you can apply to your own house. Building your own house saves you taxes twice: once because you're not paying income tax to pay a contractor to build your house for you and a second time on the contractor's bill.

Building your own house is the best thing you can do. But you do need the skills and tools to make it work. Hence: be a tradie.

>>509427124
I just put in an application for the local elevator union. Journeymen make $67/hr if i get in i wont even take a pay cut starting the apprenticeship.

I feel bad leaving my boss because hes been good to me but i cant say no to that kind of money. What can i do to shut off my conscience and be a selfish prick like a boomer?

>>509432446
Try talking to the guy, man to man. Be honest and upfront about the situation you are facing and if you and him can work something out where he can incentivized you to stay since you like working for him and he's been a good boss.

Either he'll try and you stay or it'll fail and you leave. Or he doesn't and calls you ungrateful or something and you can leave feeling good that he never saw you as much of a human being and was just acting nice to get you to stay for the low wages.

Either way, don't flip out on him and keep your cool incase the new place doesn't work out and you need to come back working for him again.
