It's a career. You're going to spend 33% of your life at it. Liking it is an important step in filtering out where you don't want to apply.

So that's your excuse not to work? Because you can't just walk into your dream job? If there's #ty jobs available, you work a #ty job until you can find your way into your dream job. It's called growing up. The entitlement and absolute refusal to make adult decisions is stunning.

So exactly what job fields and/or jobs are Millennials unable to find in today's market? Are they unwilling to relocate? Is it a lack of specific job field experience? Literally every business in my town is hiring at nearly all positions. And I'm not talking min wage 20 hour a week jobs.

Settling for less is how you wind up with nothing. Figure out what job you want, then do what it takes to become qualified for that job.
And yes, I did exactly that. It may have taken over a decade of schooling but I work in a job I enjoy, that has upward mobility, is paid well, and is in the field I want to work.

Why work a lifetime of crap jobs just to get a low 6 figure job at the very end of your career, when the first job in your life can pay 6 figures instead, and you can move up from there?

Writing that off as "settling for less" is dishonest and you know it. What I'm talking about is working while you do all that to get yourself into your dream job. That's not settling for anything. It's being realistic and being an adult instead of whining about how it's everyone else's fault you can't get a job and thinking everyone owes you something. You have what you want and you're still complaining. Why? Because you couldn't get into that job as soon as you were done with high school? Grow up and realize how good you have it.

Working those crummy jobs while you're going to school doesn't lock you into those type of jobs forever. You're dancing around the fact that you just didn't want to work, not that you couldn't find work. If you had done one of those crummy jobs all those years you were in school, even part time, you wouldn't be looking for someone to pay off your student loan debt now. Or at least not as much of it. But, that wouldn't be the nanny state way of doing things. Everyone else should pay for your school right, even though you were fully capable of paying for it yourself and just decided not to.
The entitlement is so thoroughly brainwashed into you it's disgusting.

Any job that's worthwhile requires a minimum of 6 years education, most lean closer to 10. That's if you're going full time. If you go part time you double those numbers. The plan shouldn't include working at McDonalds for 12 years to support yourself while getting a relevant education.
