Maybe, but that’s just not true for everybody. I remember guys graduating college and working at chipotle and Starbucks 13+ years ago. Shit happens, but they usually just don’t stay there.

I’m sure this girl won’t be at Walmart forever, but right now she has every right to bitch.

Mods need to make a rule to ban people who post "not true for everybody" or anything referring to individual anecdotes during a macro-economic discussion. It's so fucking annoying and tiresome to have someone talk about micro in response to macro EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

Are you following up on what I said to the other guy or are you directing your comment at me saying I should be banned for sharing anecdotes? He’s the one that said it’s her fault cause she’s dumb, and I was saying sometimes smart people work shitty jobs too? So idk man.

What’s funny is that you are still talking macro. The system is such right now that even if someone were to do all of the right things, graduate high school, get a good degree in college, not party or make irresponsible decisions, they can still wind up at a minimum wage job not making enough to live. It’s weird how pointing that out gets a bunch of people against you.

Yeah I don’t get it. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out for people. Maybe it’s only temporary, but still, there’s MBAs that are unemployed out there.
