I mean you’re a gen X-er, it makes sense that you have zero idea what people that graduated college in 2008 went through. For context, people that had degrees in comp sci were working as Best Buy’s Geek Squad.
On the bright side, you timed the dot-com dip perfectly!
- xyzelement 4y agoI am literally responding to your comment about negative ROI over the last 20 years. I graduated college on 2003 so that describes my timeframe exactly. If you aren't talking about genx then what is your 20 year comment about?
- Godel_unicode 4y agoI graduated then, from a smallish state school, with a degree in CS. Everyone in my graduating class got a decent to great job right out of school. You might be able to find individual examples of failures to launch but in the vast majority of cases it’s simply not true that CS majors went to Geek Squad.

Eh, I'm someone who graduated high school around that time and have a similar experience. Many of my peers have houses and work well paying 9-5's and have families and save for the future. They don't live in San Francisco though. There's plenty of homes for sale and tech jobs in markets that aren't Manhattan or Silicon Valley.
- aliasxneo 4y agoI graduated high school and lost all my college money from the 2008 recession. Yet here I sit as a home-owner for seven years now. I don't project my experience on my entire generation, and I would expect others to do the same.
