Liberal arts degree bernie cuck detected

Seriously, Trades are the way to go. I'm not a tradesman, my girlfriends dad is a master plumber, and he lives in a fucking mansion because plumbers get paid well. So many millennials fell for the degree meme that there are no more trades people. So the supply is incredibly low, which makes the pay really good.

Tell me again how you're going to be able to retire with a womens studies degree

>doing manual ("menial") labor isn't "cool" so I'm gonna shit on it
>even if it brings good pay

Pro tip: Machine learning/AI/robotics research is the only job left in 20 years.

Niceme.me

Genetics is going to be a big one too

I went to a top school in Boston, studied finance, and make $125,000 salary with $200,000 in stock options at the age of 25

Ask me anything

>menial labour
The fuck is that even supposed to mean?

jej

I did a PoliSci undergrad and MA, starting doctorate at UMich in the fall.

I could not care less what a group of anime loving "post feet" weeaboos think about what I have studied and excelled at.

I just come here for the laughs, most of you are pretty alright and are have-a-beer-with tier (hence why I created the poltube cops channel for max /comfy/ times). Others can fuck off.

Jobs where you pull wire/dig trenches/fit pipe/hang drywall/weld shit/lay (the) foundation (pupper)/lay tile/lay brick

They're not things that you can "hashtag" or "tweet" about though so they're not "cool" to degenerate dog-blowing leafers

>I did a PoliSci undergrad and MA, starting doctorate at UMich in the fall.
Was your thesis about the groundbreaking precedent laid by Justin Trudeau's administration deeming it legal to give oral sex to dogs in Canada?

really makes you think

Let me know how he feels when his joints crumple and he is in constant pain.

Parts of my family went to college, live in mansions, and are in good health. All the tradesmen I know are fucking beat to shit before they turn 60.

Jobs like those are based. Some of the best most honest good people have been plumbers and electricians.

But you're right, millenials all want to be social media directors and expect to make 100k.

>out of residence doctorate at UMICH

I went to Umich. You're likely a chink spending every cent your entire family has ever had

>my girlfriends dad is a millionaire plumber
>things that happened

pick one

Wow man that's pretty dope you know they just opened that big Political science factory in Vancouver and they desperately need political scientists! Lmao daddy paid all that money for you to get a degree and you will disappoint him HAHAHAHA

I make $80 an hour making custom rifles. Sucks that you couldnt pick a good career for yourself.

Obviously it really makes you jealous.

What intimidates you? My education, my height and fitness? or the fact I have friends offline and have touched a woman?

I don't know how I graduated high school. I learned nothing a put forth absolutely no effort. I didn't even do the work properly and they still gave me a diploma. I even we to community college for a month before saying fuck it.

>out of residence
>me
>not visiting gf in soo ontario

Pick one genius.

Also I'm white and started off at LSSU in northern michigan.

>poli sci
Haha, good one leaf

Have fun being trapped in a government institution with no marketable skills in the private sector

>post-secondary education at all
>In the current year

You, fellow leaf, are a massive faggot.
I live in Calgary, have an engineering degree, and still do manual labor. I am looking into going into trade school next year, by my own choice.

Why?

Because after having worked in the construction industry, and in the engineering industry, I know what type of people I prefer to be around. Working in an office building in downtown Calgary was one of the worst experiences I have had, in terms of being surrounded by nu-male betas. Every other person was a Pajeet or Chan, you couldn't swear, you couldn't make off-color jokes, you couldn't do anything masculine at all. Constant "hurr durr that's an HR issue jokes", being told by bespectacled nu males all the time.

I would much rather work outside all day, get fresh air, sunshine and exercise while making a great wage, than live my life indoors surrounded by the people I hate.

Yours truly, 4.2 GPA engineering graduate who regrets not making the right choice the first time around. Have fun at the office on Monday. Remember to watch your mouth.

>studied "finance" and is making 125k by 25

Only if your parents are connected and gave you a job, in which case that was the only relevant thing you accomplished

Finance degrees are worthless, except as nepotism passes for wealthy families

pikachu, nooooooooooo!

Care to post some of your work?

> my girlfriends dad is a master plumber

Are you sure he's not a master baiter?

>working

LOL

[ Laughing out loud ]

no words

You sound pretty insecure

I know three guys who did political science on one of the best courses over here. ones a teacher, one is a drone in a think tank and hates his job and the other is training to be an accountant

You'd better have a rock-solid plan for when you've finished or you're fucked lad

Not really, sorry mate. Being a guild member makes ones work sort of unique so it would be too identifiable to post it on Sup Forums.

I'm majoring in spanish, russian, criminal justice, and psychology. I'm going to work for the fbi or dtatedepartment when I finish my masters.

I would fucking love to do manual labour, really I would

I built a fence the other day with this labourer we hired. It was the best fun I've ever had

But most people who go into those jobs are working class lads without a GCSE to their name. I have a degree. I don't think they'd look on me too kindly if I tried to get a job in that field.

I've looked at apprenticeships, I guess I could apply, but again they're designed for people who left school at 16.

This desu.
There was this kid who hooked me in the gabber at highschool, his dad started as a brickie and now owns his own construction company and makes fucking bank.
His kids a decent lad now though, so im not too salty.

Trades are good for the mediocre. You can get a stable job and live a comfortable middle class life. It's a much better option than getting a six figure loan to study liberal arts in college, then end up working at Starbucks. If you are intelligent, then you can go to college and study engineering or finance, and get a 100k job lined up before graduation.

>poli sci student
> insults all tradesmen
>calls me "anime loving post feet weaboo"
holy fuck you are dense. If you have parents who can pay for college and grad school and then support you until you find a job, great for you, by all means study poli sci, but leave productive people who actually contribute to society alone.

Yup there's people like that around where I live, successful tradesmen that own their own businesses and make good fucking money.

A lot of them sent their kids to my school (private school). So if they could afford to do that clearly they were doing pretty well.

You know what my favorite thing about NEEThood is, wagie? It’s that I get all the best, for free! That’s right. For. Free. Honestly, I’m surprised you’re so adverse to the idea.
As a NEET, I enjoy all the best things in life. I eat the choicest foods. I drink the highest quallity ales and wines. I watch only the finest animes. And all that’s when I’m not selflessly doing charity, writing, learning, and generally being a complete human being.
And who pays for all of this, you may ask yourself as you’re stuck in traffic for one of the eight you spend in traffic every week. You do, wagie. YOUR money, YOUR work, and YOUR time all allow me to do it. I am a modern day noble, being supported by modern day serfs.

Post a picture of your government checks, with a timestamp.

Im a engineer, but we have free education so I took a master degree in it. The beginning expected salary for a new graduate is $60 000 per year.

People doing menial labour have to work a lot to get that.

We don't get paper ""checks"" here burger, we're more advanced and have it done electronically

Pic related is what they gave me for 4 months

This is america, you don't need to be a millionaire to have a 6,000 sqft house.

>4 months
>4k bucks
How are you surviving?

Faggots like you are the reason everyone thinks that a degree in communications will have them set for life. Society can't function with only political scientists nigger, someone has to take the dirty jobs

All the good trades require education, it's just not full of humanities and fluff. I spend three nights a week in a class room as a journeyman high voltage lineman getting paid and working my way up.

>Corrugated cardboard and drywall
>a house
Pick one

>I'm not a tradesman
>Girlfriend's dad
>MASTER plumber
>MASTER

In the plumber industry, there is no such thing as a "master plumber." To become a master at something, it means you have to craft some sort of masterpiece. Its like saying a teacher is a master teacher just because they taught kids to become 4.0 students. But no, its just called a teacher.

Anyways, your post is bullshit because if you say that "trades are the way to go", why AREN'T YOU a tradesman? See what I'm saying? You just countered yourself like an idiot.

Stay in school, kid.

I don't pay rent, you can't survive on 1k/month? It buys a hella lot of pizza, weed and energy drinks

I have my payments directly deposited into my bank account

Ever looked into a career as an Army officer? It's as physical as you like.

when you had you first threesome, which was bigger: the dick in your mouth or the one up your ass?

Kill yourself, manchild.

>Polisci
>is an elitist faggot
Wew

>Study in STEM they said
>You'll make a ton of money they said

STEM graduate here, unemployed for over a year, now effectively unemployable

Good job leaf, jimmies have clearly been rustled
c:

>being able to see that when supply is low demand is high, which equals $$$
this is a dumb thing how?

mais pierre, j'ai trop de vieux films français que je veux regarder avant que je tue moi-meme

would you not prefer not being a wagie?

Fake and gay

So you are leeching off your parents, not society.

Well I looked at Navy officer, yeah I could do Army I guess, a couple guys from my school did that. I guess I've looked at navy because a) I'm not the biggest guy at 178cm / 5'10", and b) my grandad was in it

Do you have any military experience?

>you accumulate debt you can't pay off voluntarily

>We're the stupid ones

>how dare someone not post identifiable information on a website that would use it against you!
lel, excellent post.

Those 4000 tax dollars that Canadian wagies slave away to give me every season aren't from my parents bud

Well I'm not a leaf, so I really don't give a fuck, even if you are actually telling the truth and not pretending.

Good to k-now, thanks burger

Nice dubs

But you're still living with your parents right? Hence leeching off them

Also how come you get so much money? Diagnosed autism and you get disability for that or something?

>even if it brings good pay
It doesn't. Most of them have a median pay of around 50k.

>student loan

>this meme again
Robots only replace humans if they're more cost effective. This shit has been going on since the industrial revolution.

Does he wear a tie?

another leaf thread

I'm not him but I get a similar amount from my autism diagnosis :^)

Do you live with parents too?

And why the fuck do they give you money just because you're autistic?

Why isn't your father beating you?

"Student loan"

>College is free in my country.


Being argentinian is the best feeling in the world

Is it now.

Man, just get laid off from a decent job and it's 1800 a month

If only they knew how good we have it up here eh?

Nothing better than living in the true 1st world

So do you live with your parents? Are they not mad you're not getting a job?

Just genuinely curious how you make this lifestyle work

Student loans are NOT too high.
The only thing that's too high, is stupid high school kids who have average SAT scores thinking that they need to go to a private university because it's the best fit.

You can pay for a college education with part-time work from home going to an in-state community college followed by a public state university easily with it only costing parents a couple thousand a year.

>Studied ultimate tier degree
>MORSE (Mathematics, Operational Research, Statistics and Economics) specialising in Financial Mathematics and Data Science

That's higher than the median pay in marketing you fuckface.

What I get is plenty, I don't want to feel like a cheat.

4000$/120 days is 33$/day.

That's enough so that every day I can get:
a large pizza (9$ at Dominos)
two cans of Monster (7$)
two grams of weed (15$)

and still having 2$/day leftover to invest and accumulate compound interest on

Being white is a better feeling.

Your desertion rate is extremely high though. Basically usig tax money to fund uni for fucking losers who just use it and then stop studying.

>$50k is a lot of money
Hahaha

Well, you can keep believing that if you want to, f a m. We need more macho slaves fixing up our infrastructure anyway.

>canada
>political science
hahahahahaha

>implying what you do is good
>implying these "macho slaves" wouldn't beat you up in a second
>implying you're not some pathetic beta girlfriendless faggot

They won't answer you

What I don't understand is why they don't go to school of some sort

I mean they're just dicking around anyway so might as well get an education out of it

>It's an "user tries desperately to justify the career path his guidance counselor talking him into" episode

That would never change. If a president even coment about $$ for college the shitstorm would be the biggest in our history.

Free college is like water or oxigene in this place. You dont fuck with it.

try moving to silicon valley faggot

i don't even do anything finance related

business development now

Yes I live with my parents, I'm 20, and I pay them all of the money I get from the government as rent. I'm unemployed right now but I've actually had jobs in the past and I've been applying for more jobs, and I plan on moving out soon and going to school.

I'm kind of against welfare and think I should be left to fend for myself but it's there so I might as well take advantage of it.

>barely

I tutored others in physics and calc.

Then I proceeded to do absolutely nothing with that education.

lol retard doing academic work.

Ahahahahahaha. No it isn't you retard. Try actually verifying your beliefs before touting them as fact

Also why not compare the trades to a field that is known for its earnings like STEM related fields?

There are a number of us who were fucked by the student loan nonsense even while working full time and going to school full time.

I finished my undergrad while working and was given a 16% increase for salary. Doing my master's/PhD would guarantee upper level promotion so I went for it.

We were promised by contract for a 6% salary increase along with a 2% cola. Then we were given the shaft for seven years straight because of leftist economy policies. Each year I looked to jump ship to another employer but these employers prefered entry level tards they could pay with wooden nickels so I was stuck. Then during promotion time, I ranked top on the list until affirmative action kicked in promoting three blacks with less education, experience and training.

I can't refinance private loans because I'm not poor, I can't afford to purchase a house and I bust my ass working two jobs just to pay these loans.

And yes, I did a STEM field and have worked the entire time.
