re: Study Finds American Millennials To Be Some Of The World's Least Skilled People

I am glad my company isn't like that. I guess there is a reason it is the #1 jet leader. Imagine the fact that they actively promote from within and actually encourage upward movement. I guess this company just isn't with the times.

How does this really disprove anything I've said? Is this really your only retort. "Well, it didn't happen to me." Congrats for having nary an idea or stance to actually argue from.

Again, congratulations on finding that kind of company. I have too. That part about being in tech, yeah I'm lucky and I know it. But what I don't do is think even only my hard work got me here. A little bit of nepotism. A lot of hard work, and a little bit of luck and making sure to prove myself at every step of the way. But I'm lucky to have seen the chance to do that and capitalize on it. Most of my peers really haven't.

You, me, we aren't the only people and my (and your) experience certainly isn't that of the majority of my peers or the kids I've mentored. That experience is nothing like what is actually happening right now. I've known quite a few people from 25-33 who begged for jobs for years, but jobs were impossible to find unless the stars aligned. Many of those were underemployed and that "underemployed experience" never mattered because they either never had the "necessary degree," or their experience, in taking a job below them, was not enough to prepare them for the job market.

How do you get experience in the right field when you need experience to get in the field in the first place?

Again, this is at the feet of the companies most of the time, not the "World's Least Skilled People."
