Totally agree about the getting job part, but as someone who got a job in a big bank as a software developer as well as getting a graduate degree life still sucks.... when not only I feel like a wage slave but my friends who have even better jobs feel like wage slaves and are constantly looking for the next job it’s depressing all around...
- twblalock 7y agoThat's not really a new thing though. The difference is that previous generations of graduates were happy with what you call "wage slavery" -- a stable job at a big company.
- TuringNYC 7y agoThey were probably happy with it because at least it was an option. Not the best option for everyone but at least an option. That option today is rarely the case — Since the late 1980s — and especially now given fleeting corporate entities — there is no longer a sense of commitment. When workers see no commitments they also show little loyalty. It is a downward spiral. Great if you can hop up the spiral (eg right school, right network, right background), but unfortunate otherwise.
