Why don't Millenials/GenZ know what to do with their lives?

ENtitelment and unwillingness to compromise
Otherwise, a (well-deserved) lack of faith/loyalty in employers

Because they're lazy faggots

I knew exactly what I wanted in life, so I became president.

Because society is very shaky. The future of your race is at stake.
Boomers put us in such peril and their egos won't let them realize this yet.
Before Trump was elected I was waiting for civil war.

What do you mean they don't know what to do with their lives?

Elabourate; don't just make a moral judgement.

Because a lot of jobs are gone, and real wages have not kept up with cost of living so one needs a high paying job they may not be suited for, or like, to have enough money

They all study the same useless shit that's easily outsourced, then left baseless, to float from job to job until they die. There will be no retirement for them. This paired with the spoiled environments they're raised in, which convinced them that they're special, and entitled to a wealthy, healthy future.

It helps having to compete with Automation as well as mass-migration, especially if combined with this lack of Will and strong feeling of entitlement.

Including myself, till recently most people just go with the flow and do whatever. With no real goal in sight.

Maybe because their parents could afford a house on minimum wage and they can't afford to rent a studio on the same salary

There are jobs, well at least here. It's just that they require you to do manual labour or learn an actual skill.

Most of them will probably have less assets than their parents and they spend more time trying to scheme ways not to be in a worse position than their parents because they know some people can be better off than their parents but almost nobody will be

It's the first time in generations that the children are worse off than their parents and its causing decision paralysis

I'd say a lot of that's to do with inflation.

Automation

What's your goal now user?

Moreso that the anger and frustration of millenials is misguided
They've been tapped into fighting vague power structures that don't actually improve their situation

In other words millenials/GenZ has been cucked by the globalist narrative and don't think the issues you brought up are actually issues

I'd also say that a lot of us choose stupid career paths, and unlike our parents were they could get a decent career without decent quals, we cannot.

Real jobs, actual careers don't exist anymore because company loyalty has been eroded. So the only way to work is to live in a degenerate liberal shit city. People work with a company for two months as consultants or some bullshit and then move on to the next thing. Take a look at millennial linkedins. The days of graduating high school, deciding what you want to do and settling into a comfy career are gone. The only way to work is to work for yourself.

Ineffective education system that basically baby sits children until they are legal adults and then dumps them off into the workforce or convinces them to get meme degrees with massive loans that virtually cripples them financially, then these pseudo adult citizens impose their ill choices on the younger ones to self reinforce this horrible system.

Full time Electrician with my own business.

Once again, compromise
I moved to a smaller town with job opportunities

I forego the "fun things" and "urban lifestyle" that come with the $1000+/mo rent for a studio apartment

Boomers and chinks (see: globalists) completely destroyed my city's housing market, making it practically unlivable for any young people and any individuals not living off someone else's dime.

>Why can't mice ever seem to stay alive in areas with lots of cats around?

>Hardmode: Can't mention cats

We're also in a knowledge economy, now. All the shit jobs are taken up by Mexicans in America and Europoors in Britain.

Housing prices aren't an issue in my city, the issue is quality.

>inflation
OP said no mentioning Jews.

Well yeah our parents got art degrees and 100,000 starting - without even being hyperbolic

We have to be so much more careful and planned than our parents, grandparents, great grandparents.

The average boomer wouldve been just as retarded as the average gen Y, except the boomer would end up with a job and a home even with the retarded decision making

I'm sitting here trying to figure out whether to do a masters, whether to go into full time work, whether to study part time and work part time, whether to study part time and work full time, whether to have a family and throw caution to the wind.

Shit is a fucking nightmare

because everything that seems accomplishable, sucks

too many options. Before people were forced into situations now a middle class 18 year old can literally go anywhere and do anything

It's not like my Granddad's time were he had to work on next to nothing for 4 years, as an apprentice electrician.

We were raised for the next phase of civilization (automation and UBI) but some people are not letting it happen and instead hoarding all the wealth for themselves.

>Just deal with working for slave wages, you don't need fun goy. All you need to do is work and sleep

Yeah, fuck off nigger.

They're two different things. They're linked but still different.

shit economy, outsourcing, good jobs require a college degree

boomers dont know how good they had it,

Once the Chink economy dies, I feel that automation maybe rolled back. They wouldn't have the money/IC to match the chinks or automate that much.

My grandpa literally dropped out of school in year 4 and retired as the manager of a company you would know managing a team of 50 with an annual budget of $10m in the 80s

Hes an outlier, but I grew up with him and he and I both know that story doesnt happen in 2017

You need the perfect condition of everyone else dying in the wars and then the post war boom time and then luck on top of that

>compromise

The years they should have been spending getting ready to enter the real world and figuring out what they wanted to do were spent watching funny cat videos on the internet. It's something that affects damn near all millenials, from the SJW faggots who latched on to feminism to the young Sup Forumsacks who spent their formative years laughing at guro on Sup Forums.

This, by the way, is also why there's such a surge of more childish apparel for adults, and why we have so many people who act like having a cat is in any way similar to having a baby or that being 30 means "being able to eat Jell-o for breakfast". Because they stunted their own growth by overengaging in internet entertainment, mentally they're on the same level as a young teenager.

>Slave wages
>Afforded a spacious apartment with tons of amenities
>Have plenty of hobbies so I don't need 100+ attractions to keep me occupied
>Still money in the bank to save up or drive to a city and unwind

But yeah, your 120sqft closet of an apartment sure does sound nice

>The years they should have been spending getting ready to enter the real world and figuring out what they wanted to do were spent watching funny cat videos on the internet

What you fail to understand is that the internet was going to be the next 'real world'.

Yeah, there are so many forces - automation, mainlining (a small share of products getting a very large market share), central planning, outsourcing, mass migration, work visas, pushing women into carriers, getting rid of maintenance in favor of trashing stuff, "efficiency" aka cutting workforce and putting more stress on the remaining employees - but what all the mentioned things have in common, they worsen the bargaining power of the employee

what are things that actually better the bargaining power of employees in the last decades?

At least the field I'm going into pays well and are having a deficit of skilled workers. Most kids my age don't want to get their hands dirty at a work site. They'd rather just sit on their ares in an office.

Because, apperantly im not sane enough.

And the neetbux here are nice.

I want to work. But i see why people dont really want me as a co-worker.

I was a laborer and left cause I hated it. I shouldve done a trade though. Youll do well in a trade, enjoy.

Boomer parents that still think the job market and dollar worth is still that of the 60's-70's

Wrong kind of compromise, friend

The right to bear arms is absolute and unimpeachable
The right to live is absolute and unimpeachable, the right to live in a populated center with high rent is not

If you can't afford to live somewhere, why not focus your attention on moving somewhere that is affordable?

For me it's this. I want to do and experience everything and in the end in wounded up in a corpo job with a company car which I both don't like very much and I feel like I've wasted every opportunity I had to actually do something I like.

I really enjoy electronics and labour, so at least being an electrician will do me well.

Sort yourself out, Pol.

I got sick of laboring and applied for uni and told myself if I fail Ill go be a carpenter. I didnt fail and ended up top of the class. Now I have to choose between work or post grad.

I guess in the end its a good problem to have. Options over no options.

Did your teachers sell you the Uni lie? All through out school, from the start till the finish it was just "Uni, Uni, Uni". Was never taught about tradeschool and once I found out I felt a bit betrayed.

pretty much. UBI is problematic because it kills drive but having to do the rat race is not needed anymore to get by.

I was interested in Carpentry, but found out there weren't many jobs left in the field. Most had been taken by Euro-Poors.

Because there is no reason to do anything. The real reason to build a career was to build a stable family. Now that marriage is almost irreparably broken, there's no point in having children. With no children there is no future. So why bother?

I'd love UBI as an artist. The freedom to make fine art for people without worrying about supply, living costs, or even revenue.
UBI would bring about a media renaissance.

I think it's to do with my personality, but I can't understand why anyone would want to go on Welfare? I understand if they're fired but taking when you could be working.

yeah thats the shit go, its a fun job working with wood but most any retard can do it. id still take it over any other trade though, if you have to do something you should like it.

So your idea of a goal is a good career and financial security. Millennials are still achieving this, though it's at a later age than average compared to past generations. The reason for this I think is of the increased emphasis on university. Now that getting into university has become easier, the average person is getting a degree meaning that those without them will find it hard to impress employers since it's nearly expected now so people aren't entering the workforce until they're older. Not to mention, not every graduate will find it easy to land a job with a degree anyway. STEM graduates should be fine but history, communications, English, etc. majors won't. The result is these people have been in education for nearly 20 years under the guidance of some authority (school or university) so they're only good for taking instructions from a higher up at a firm and they're also in debt meaning they're not willing to take risk so starting a business isn't an option either. They're forced to go on the dole or work shift work in Lidl or as a barista.

Of course this only applies for those who want to work. There are other people who would disagree with your goal and would rather be NEETs. They always existed but they couldn't get away with it in past generations like they can now because social welfare wasn't as good then as it is now

I've become so introspective I sometimes forget theirs a real world around me.

It's also a perverse incentive for those who could be producing but choose to just go on the doll. Also, who's going to be paying for it. If you try to get the rich to do it they'll run off.

Everyone sold me the uni lie. "Study or you'll end up miserable, with no money and no gf, user". Well guess fucking what. At least I have a job while I'm looking out for something I like I guess.

if you can do a useful uni degree it's better, you're on a higher level

but if you just studies daydreams on debts then it will be a rough awakening

I do, I have a career, and play to retire with two retirement checks by 60. Then have my 20 acres and gun range.

I'm a geologist and my wife is an economist

At least Electrical trades rely on you having an aptitude for Maths and Science, which I do. Most people who go on these courses end up dropping out, because it wasn't the walk in the park they'd though it'd be.

>would want to go on Welfare?
not really, it just happens

>but taking when you could be working.
if they don't like working, at the moment it's a non-question to most people, they know for a reasonable life you have to work, so they never really considered if they would do it voluntarily

Mate, it really depends on the subject. If you're talking about postgraduate level engineering, math or science. Yes. If you're talking about the humanities or art, you can teach all of that to yourself without paying.

Information overload that gives one the feeling of maybe missing out if going down a certain path

when does math come into electrical?

>What you fail to understand is that the internet was going to be the next 'real world'.
Maybe that's what we all thought once upon a time, but fifteen years later look where we are: a generation of slackers and fools who think they can eke out a worthwhile existence by whining at their parents and the government.

>At least Electrical trades rely on you having an aptitude for Maths and Science
it's very, very simple if you're used to anything academic

if you're doing trades you're putting your body to work, for the most part

If you won't work, you're a useless human being who shouldn't expect anything. Like the saying goes "Those who don't work shall not eat".

>life is unfair
>i didn't ask to be born
>you owe me
>gib gibs, nao or riot

Boomers took their pensions and ran. We are holding the bill. Working to pay their retirements, working to support ourselves, working to support the government, and no retirement for us. Work until we die. No pressure. Have kids too, don't forget to have kids in there too sometime...

That's the route I'm going basically. I thought working in labor would mean better pay (shitty conditions, that's how my parents remembered it, and all that shit), turns out it didn't and wound up only making an extra $1.25 from my chicken flipping job. I can't afford a studio that's not in section 8, this is with OT. I'm heading back to school to get Accounting, MBA, and probably CPA, tired of busting ass for nothing and no lateral movement

Yep. It was the uni's and academics best trick to get humanities and art cleared to be accepted by the student debt program.

Take a circuits class and you'll find out, shit is a little nightmarish

Absolutely feel the same way, m8. Was told that like all throughout uni, a degree was the answer to everything - didn't help that my family is working class and I was the first of any of them to go to uni. I fell for it hook, line and sinker.

nice man. dont forget a trade. a lot of work in trades, but if you want an office job uni is the go. I went to law school, it was hard at first but then it became really really easy. everyone is a fucking cunt and wont help you, you need to figure out how the whole uni game works. thats been my experience.

*cheat code unlocked*
The answer OP is
Jews and Globalost

Exactly. I feel like "Universal Basic Income" goes against this assumption because it makes it acceptable and possible to live on not having worked a day, and UBI proponents expect their UBI payment regardless of having contributed anything, since it's "universal", too.
It's not so different from socialism.

because everything sucks

>but fifteen years later look where we are
Because of facebook.

Do the pieces fit togeather yet?

UBI and automation will bring us into the golden age of a NEET utopia. Why is this a bad thing?

youtu.be/guWQrIVvGic

Harris talked about ubi.
its worth a listen

>Information overload that gives one the feeling of maybe missing out if going down a certain path

This shit is an epidemic

I had gone before for ChE but was one of those over sheltered kids that got a taste of freedom and went full degenerate. Was worth it though, experiences I'd never give up. My dad was a welder, his closest friend HVAC, both have availability but seem to be more of a bachelor's job than someone who wants work/life balance as well as a medium-low salary ceiling, etc. I've been cautious of it

...

I've got the opposite stigma where I've got PHDs in my family and we're Middle class. I'm going into a trade, but the good thing is that my Granddad was a trademan, so he's helping me out.

I'd say it's a gutted version of Socialism. Even socialists know that'd be a retarded idea, it's a way of getting legalized voter slaves. They're only going to vote for the party which is giving them gibs me dats.

our whole foundation is cracked and breaking apart. No sense of community, no family structure, theyre fuckign with social and gender roles, facebook has ruined relationships and intimacy and everything else you can fucking thing of.

Everything in the universe is math.

Get a masters degree in mathematics, any job you want, 300k starting.

>contribute

I am contributing to society, right now anonymous, by sitting here and engaging in conversation with other members of society.

I contributed when i helped meme trump into office, i contributed when i explained to my mother, who then explained to her friends, about why north korea is not a threat and the news is just being hysterical.

Some things in society are arbitrarily compensated for, others are not. This is the nature of the imperfection of the system.

So you'd agree with killing all the old, infirm, and the idle rich?
How wonderful, we could all be slaves!

I've sort of given up on finding "Youthful love". Most women I've encounted have either been emo-selfcutters or Lefty ideologues. This is in a "Romance" context.

gibs are the current welfare system
the idea of UBI is it becomes as invisible and ever present as taxes, people dont think about it, it just becomes a normal part of life.

It's not a binary as that, what it means is that you don't contribute to society, you don't get anything. This is in regards to the dole system, rather than pensions.

Still a perverse incentive, still gotta get someone to pay for it. You try to over tax the rich, they'll leave. Like in Venezuela.
