Yeah, if the entire culture creating class/media/academia is agreed that people who don’t have college degrees are worthless failures or at best need other people to make their decisions for them there’s not going to be much respect going round. The Anglo West is not Japan.

- pizzazzaro 6y agoSpeak for yourself. Too many of our fast food workers have advanced degrees, but nowhere will take us. I cant tell if that one barista with a Mechanical Engineering degree unknowingly got hers from a diploma mill, or if the 2008-crunch just left her permanently out of the industry. Ive met trained, degree-holding coders, engineers, graphic designers, paralegals, mathematicians, even teachers that could simply not break into their chosen field, but had to simply subsist on fast food wages. Hell, there was one man who ran film crews at major Hollywood studios! But when his mother got sick, he took time off. And he simply couldnt get back in. So here we are, being asked to subsidize our ability to show up to work... where the customers are demeaning enough to become a meme named "Karen."
