it was dead before the pandemic, most often then not its nepotism that gets you into most fields, having connection is pretty much another form of nepotism, other than given a job directly by a person in the company. if you seen the forums on indeed, and pre-astroturfed glassdoor review yea its all the same complaint. hospitality/trade while stable isnt very attractive to some people.
The funny thing is that Fortune Magazine is written for CEOs to feel good about themselves. So they could have a title that sounds interesting, but it tells the average person nothing at all about life and it never will.
The funny thing is that this is really obvious if you just consider the context of the speaker and listener. The CEO wants more money, which means probably more people using their company, so they have a financial interest in saying things that will cause that to happen. So the actual situation is that the CEO is saying something because it will benefit him and that what he said might or might not be true.
And on almost the same day, my son transitioned from college to a good-paying job. So maybe this CEO was overgeneralizing?
The CEOs are shortsighted for what to do in their business so they project that into everyone else.
Congratulations to your son. He is going to do awesome! Don’t let the world tell you any different. People are resilient
shortsighted is an understatement, they refuse to spend time or money to train fresh graduates like they should, but instead relying on cheaper labor in many fields, like H1B visas, or someone already experienced in the fields that got there before the advent of JOB SITES Online, this excludes almost all future fresh graduates from the field.
probably the majority arnt getting into thier fields they got a degree in.
Or maybe your son was lucky.
Good on him though happy for the both of you 😊
Because millennials have like 40+ years of work left and they can’t retire.
Jokes on them I’m just gonna die.
I had a dream that I died as a Walmart greeter.
Black Friday?
I think it was a Wednesday. 😭
The trade of universities is research. Anything else is diploma inflation and needs to stop.
also university dont offer volunteering experience in most cases, or try to obfuscate it. the seats for lab work is so limited only a small number of people are even aware of it, plus i know that PI are extremely picky who they will let in thier labs.
Must depend on the university. Research labs take a ton of undergraduate interns around here.
Hospitality so you can work like a dog to kiss rich, entitled snobs’ collective arse, for low, low pay! Hell no, retrain your robocops.
No, hospitality so you learn how to communicate and provide excellent customer service. These skills apply to the next career.
its exactly kissing customers asses, that what it is, even if they are in the wrong.
With all due respect, I’ve worked public facing jobs all my life. I said what I said.
I think my bartending experience was what taught me to be able to get quick rapport with new insurance clients. Don’t disagree with what you said at all.
This has been true for over a decade.
I said the same thing a few weeks ago and was bombarded about being a boomer and being the cause of these issues.
Seeing your upvotes I’m hopeful people are starting to wake up and realize this isn’t a generations issue or an immigration issue or education issue. It’s a wealth and equity issue which will continue until people wake up and realize the billionaires of the world don’t want the 99.9% of us to have a fast track to middle class, they want us to stay low and keep fighting each other for scraps.
That’s hilarious. Plumbers don’t even do clogged drains anymore in the US. You know who can afford the six figure Contender center consoles with mega horsepower? Landscapers.
Only way I can get a plumber or electrician in my town to anything besides new construction / fresh install is to ask my friend who runs a 60 home caretaking / property management company for a recommendation.
For plumbers they usually threaten to walk, unless you agree to let them just do a replacement for a new fixture (one was a 5 year old hot water tank…)
The only difference is if I get their number through my friend, I get to tell them, "if you walk, ill tell < friend’s property management company> and they’ll lose your number, and tell all their buisness contacts to do the same.
As someone working a trade, I hate to have to twist their arm, but its litterally the only way to get work done.
Yes! The good ones can pick and choose
