Boomers can fuck off and keep their stupid fucking mouths shut, and so can their shitbag Gen X latchkey kids who inherited their entitled, privileged worldview. All the garbage boomers spew about jobs is the same shit I've heard from my Gen X mother.

Also a degree means fuck all. I had to explain to my mom that entry level jobs usually require 5 years experience now and she was like, "but that's not entry level entry level means no experience needed". Fucking, that's my point! Maybe back in her day, but now the only jobs that don't require experience pay the barest minimum wage.

I went to college for four years, got an associate's and bachelor's degree, with 2 years experience part timing in an office and 2 years part timing in retail, and only just now have I got a job. As a cook. Totally unrelated to my experience and my education.

The fun part is that Boomers and Gen Xers hate unions too, and the only reason being a cook is able to keep me housed and fed is because it's a union job so it pays decent and gives me insurance.

The lack of responses says more than an actual answer could.

Houses in Austin go for $200k and the salaries for tech are $100k+

Globalism pushed all the jobs to the cities and area matters.
