Is it just me or has there developed a sense of disdain and disgust for colleges and higher education by more blue collar trade school types?

So I know that college is definitely not for everyone and I fully support people who don't have a interest in more higher education field to do trade schools because you make damn good money. There was also a point where college was pushed for everyone instead of trades and that seems to be reversing a bit. However it seems to be the opposite developing now that there's a disdain for colleges and college related careers by those in the trade schools, does anybody notice this? Now college isn't the answer for everything, but there's absolutely some career fields that college us necessary. Thoughts?

I think people had it figured out hundreds and thousands of years ago when they had huts and cabins for affordable housing.

People had traditional wisdom, helped each other build such things, and more. Our current issues with affordable housing in terms of cost and political arguments are awful.

Can we get that General Strike going in the USA?

Seems like a great time for a general strike. The SAG-AFTRA (actors) have joined the Writer's Guild of Americs to strike. UPS' union is on the verge of a strike. With shipping and logisticals halting and the visibility of high profile Hollywood actors and writers, now seems like a great time to get serious about a general strike. Check out the link for a history in General Strikes and how we the laborers, can reclaim our power. Look at Europe and see what massive cooperation can do!

Antiwork new Netflix anime?

I just watched the first episode of Zom 100 on Netflix. Has anyone else seen it yet? Basically about a kid who is tired of working his dead end office job, so much so that he looks forward to a zombie apocalypse. The animation is beautiful and I think many of you in this subreddit would enjoy it.

Given a week to be fired?

My work status is weird for this hospital in California. It’s not that popular, but they hired me for a 3 month contract. That was a year ago. Today I was pulled into HR and they said next Friday is my last day. Not hurt about it but wondering if I can apply for unemployment now and not show up for the last week and have that not counted against me as quitting?

The process to get a minimum wage job is unnecessarily invasive and tedious

I've been unemployed (resigned) since April, and have had horrible work experiences since then. I applied to a sushi bowl place, for $10/hr. I thought, “Sure, it shouldn't be that hard to set an interview” and was emailed by the store to come during business hours and ask for a manager, which I did. Tell my why, I was given this blue and white paper called a “Pre-employment questionnaire” (you can google it, if you never seen the paper) and it's demanding the last four jobs (name and address for employer, time there, and reason for leaving), education history, 3 references (their address, business, and years known), THEN the interviewer has a remarks page to give input and describe your neatness, personality, ability, and if you're hired under what position and wage. I understand that some info is to rush the hiring process such as social, home address number, and…
