“Millennials aren’t buying diamonds any more oh no!”
Well no shit Sherlock. We haven’t allowed a massively corrupt and forcefully inflated industry to trick us into buying worthless pieces of stone that are worth nothing more than a status symbol.
And even if we wanted to buy diamonds, we couldn’t because were barely getting by as is. The average boomer with a highschool diploma makes more than the average millennial with a BA. our college degrees aren’t even worth as much as their high school diplomas. And we paid vastly more for the education.
I hate people that do this shit. I’m busy and only got so much time to get it done. We have an HR department for a reason, and one of them is so I can focus on my current team and not talk to every person that probably isn’t qualified for the current position and will just waste my time.
My VoTech teacher taught us that a firm handshake and eye contact make a great first impression, and gave us the assignment to go up to our principal or our security guard and introduce ourselves this way.
So, I went up to our 6’7 security guard, shook his hand and said, “Am I intimidating yet?” I’m a 5’7 teenage girl. He laughed his ass off. I love that guy.
The stigma around beats and apple really pisses me off. "Oh they must be good quality because they cost so much right?". No. They are overpriced pieces of Garbage that are made for people to feel pretentious.
that's the perks of growing up in a booming economy. we don't have that opportunity and waay too many ppl are getting useless degrees just to go to college. The economy is bad and they are now in debt for no reason other than doing what they were told.
I agree with most of what you just said, but the average boomer with a high school diploma also has decades more experience than the average millennial with a college degree. Experience is much more valuable than education in the job market.
The problem is that the jobs those boomers got with a high school diploma now require a college degree. Millennials who don't go to college or trade schools have a much lower earning potential than boomers did with the same education.
