Be proactive! Put some effort in yourself! Nobody owes you anything.

Wostasha.

It’s up to employers who they employ. It’s not for you or I to decide what job or what person are suitable.

Water is wet. As for who decides - it’s normally the team members. I have been on both sides of the interview process; it’s a normal thing to do.

But if your skilled enployees are switching to burger flipping because they can make the same money then you aren’t paying the new market rate.

I mean… Yes, but that’s a whole new topic altogether. What are those mythical employees that are switching their careers to burger flipping?

It does. It also lifts all the turds.

You know how to make them boats get lifted even quicker? Join the tide. Invest in yourself. Make yourself better.

In what way is working a more physically demanding job “advancing yourself”?

It’s not the physical part - which isn’t even all that great of a difference - but getting familiar with physics. Working your brain rather than your muscle. That’s an advance.

There’s also a risk element - you fuck up on a powerline - you’re potentially dead. Fuck up a burger? You get yelled at.

Besides, I’d also argue that most customer facing jobs are just as demanding as most physical trade jobs. They just fuck you up mentally instead of physically.

All jobs suck the soul out of you. If you don’t want that - build a career. That requires one doing something one’s great at. It requires an internal drive.

Not even degrees mean much anymore, a lot of job positions require one cause they can, not cause you’d actually benefit from that knowledge. Spending all that time and money to get a piece of paper can Aldo hardly be called "advancing yourself’.

You’re not wrong about job requirements, but I’d argue your whole world view is skewed.

You get a degree to advance your understanding of a thing you give a shit about. If you get one because your parents told to or whatever - then of course it’s useless. Many reasons for that, but one of them is going that to that internal drive.

Quick personal example: I got a CS degree. Out of ~150 people who started ~40 graduated (which I think is probably usual), but of those 40 only 3 were people actually interested in computers. Others were there for all kinds of wrong reasons. Some of those people are now loudly screaming into the ether how degrees are useless. It worked out very well for the 3 of us. As of upcoming August, I will have literally 10x the income I had before starting my degree in 2016. Now, granted, small numbers are easy to get impressive multiplication on, but I’m still proud of it.

So… Putting in effort to advance yourself should not be rewarded? I don’t get it.

I totally get it. Ferrari is a statement, not just a vehicle. This is silly.

That’s a factory feature nowadays

Replying to what you said, what you said only and nothing else. No other context.

That’s called having a spine and standing up for what you believe in.

Skill issue

Nobody paid that 90%. Just like today, there were methods around it.

I remember reading Signal got rid of the hard requirement of a phone number. Haven’t tried it as I’ve already got it attached to my number. At least starting a chat with someone new I didn’t have to give them my number, used signal’s internal id.

Is it really only 75B? I could do better if I didn’t have to pay taxes.

Obviously they’re wrong.

Was it?

Only if advanced enough!

They’re not wrong. There can be more than one spying government on this earth.

Ahemmm… Whitebell? :D

I don’t know half the names in your post.

I don’t now your age.

Hazarding a guess - I’d say you’re no more than mid twenties.

Having said all that - people, on average, are dumb. They pretend to be experts in fields they’ve had a job at for a while, but most got there by accident and not due to merrit.

Fiction justifies it, therefore it’s popular.

Brace the downvotes from disappointments.

Try something like Network Survey to see if the radio spectrum situation is a bit crazy.
