I have a brother and cousin that were born in 1980 and they live a completely different lives than me and my other siblings (early 90's). They were able to get jobs without degrees through computer know how and work experience. And probably most importantly they were able to get jobs prior to 2008. It seems like if you want to get a job post 2008 you have to compete with the whole world (thanks linkdin) for a basic bitch office job.
Here I am in 2022 with 4 years experience in supply chain (thanks military) and a degree in supply chain (thanks for the gil bill military) and NO ONE gives a single fuck. If this was the years 2002 I would be a manager somewhere. How do you guys deal with the fact that if you were born after the early 80's your life difficulty was changed to hell mode?
