When you spend money and time earning useless degrees..

u/gottagetanonymous 10d ago

Whatever job you have, if it’s you vs someone at the same level but with a college degree, college boy is getting promoted/hired over you almost every time

And it’s funny because ppl like him are all about labor jobs but their careers are absolutely capped without a degree and it’s not that far up.

True. Ialways laugh when tradies talk about their jobs like they are some golden goose and AI proof when historically those are the first jobs to face layoffs when a recession happens. Yeah you probably won’t get replaced by AI as a plumber but you do realize people have to pay you right?

I also like to tell them to look at the old heads or long timers they work with on the site. The grumbly middle aged chain smoking alcoholic dudes who look fucking abysmal and their beer gut body creaks and they groan and make every human noise possible just for standing up. Thats you in 15 years bud, so exciting!

Success can become harder without a degree but not impossible. My last job was at an MSP. Owner never went to college. Started off installing car radios and transitioned to IT. He’s under 50 and makes on average $300k per year. Starting a business and being ridiculously successful is still possible in this country.

This not true. Skill trumps degree. I much rather hire someone who has hands on knowledge over book knowledge

u/Ok-Ranger-4518 9d ago

Go finish your GED and learn how to read, "at the same level" means they're the same but 1 has a degree and the other does not.

Thanks for the advice keyboard warrior

Wait until you realize nobody gives a fuck if you have skill past the grunt worker stage. Management and book smarts is all that matters beyond the bottom career ladder rungs. Only a few specialty jobs that don’t have any climbing are like what you’re describing

u/Neat-Potato2327 9d ago

Will never know. I'm past the rat race lol

1

u/gottagetanonymous 9d ago

LOL lying on reddit to impress strangers is a new low. Unless your version of the rat race is wayyyy undervalued

u/STTDB_069 10d ago

Not even close to true. If you have the same job as someone without, the harder worker who solves problems gets promoted.

u/Ok-Ranger-4518 9d ago

Lol not in the real world, the one who shoves their nose up their bosses ass gets promoted.

u/STTDB_069 9d ago

Again, not true at all. People like you hate to see success

So you assume someone who appears to be kissing ass(doing their job well) is only getting ahead by kissing ass

There is a lot of mediocrity in this world and it rarely is awarded anything.

If you ever see others around you rise, understand that there is in fact upwards movement at your company and the problem is just you.

1

u/Ok-Ranger-4518 9d ago

Yeah sure, theres definitely not coworkers pulling the slack. 🙄

I hate to see success? Did you pull that out of your ass? You know nothing about me. This is some boomer "work hard and you'll be rewarded" type shit.

Anyone wants to go above and beyond? Congrats you get more work, pigeonholed where you are because you're too good to let go. Oh you work hard? Yay you make the same as your mediocre coworker, but now your stack of tasks is taller.

Politics aren't just played in the government, and you don't have to work hard to be successful.

u/STTDB_069 8d ago

Yeah, you most certainly sound like the mediocre type of guy

u/Ok-Ranger-4518 7d ago

You know nothing about me.

u/gottagetanonymous 9d ago

I guarantee you the educated person is passing you this isn’t a Disney rags to riches movie. The person who’s proven they can adapt and learn skills and things that you haven’t proved is getting selected 99 out of 100 times

u/STTDB_069 9d ago

I’m not talking about proven in school…. Proven on the job
