this is one of the few times when the boomers are right.
Bad Career Advice
are you retarded? I networked (aka sent emails and had phone calls, even had coffee with some guys) my college alumni and they're the only reason I have my current job.
If you're socially retarded you won't make it in any field
OP my advice, if you havent already burned 4 to 5 yrs of your precious time and money at college then DO NOT go. I have a degree in chem Engineering and i make good money dont get me wrong but college in the us is the biggest meme/trap that the boomers have fed to us
jus bee urself :^)
its almost as if people like to do favors for their friends
fucking retard
When they network, they mean milk your friends and contacts for job prospects.
Boomers and Gen X came up under a totally different economic paradigm in a time when getting your foot in the door somewhere was more or less all you had to do while also being very easy. They literally don't understand what it takes to make it in today's economy.
"its not what you know its who you know" I heard this in college and now 10 years later it is still 100% true. unless you are ivy league educated you wont be hired anywhere unless you know somebody.
lol no, it's about someone getting you in
My last job was in some industrial type shit I've never worked in nor had any idea, yet a friend got me invited to a party and I got the job over dudes with 10+ years of experience in the field
every time i do a lap around the bar i do finger guns: "hey hey hey ladies!" and then I leave for a bit. leaves them confused and they look at one another. PRECISELY 6.5 minutes later I make eye contact with one in the group and come right over (NO HESITATION: they smell the animal fear) and finger guns at her and say these exact words (no substitutions): "Drink you up, baby! Looking good, looking good." Then I waltz back to the bar and do a little spin to show em I can still get around even though I am older.
