Guess this means we need to import more foreigners on H1Bs because these stupid incompetent untrainable American STEM graduates cant even be trusted to even know how to turn on a computer

Ol’ Pajeet in India saw this news and just manufactured a fresh fake resume using ChatGPT. He’ll be wiping his arse with his bare hands in a corporate bathroom within a couple months!!!

My last job in the Dallas area in which entire departments were 100% indian, we actually had signs in the bathrooms telling workers to stop putting used toilet paper in the trash can and to flush it instead

Import the 3rd world....

more than half of 183 employers surveyed by the National Association of Colleges and Employers rate the job market for the Class of 2026 as poor or fair.


50% of 183 = ~91.5 employers is the reason for doom and gloom

quote:

Overall, employers say they expect a 1.6% increase in hiring for the Class of 2026, down considerably from their plans for the Class of 2025 last fall


An increase of 1.6% over what?

This article is doom and gloom clickbait trash from a once-respected WSJ.

Too much emphasis on College Degree. I have a Bachelor’s and a Masters. My daughter has a Bachelor’s and a Master’s. My son refused to go to College, and instead went into Sales for a Home Roofing, Windows and Gutters company, and bought his first house at 20, making into the 6 figures. Has since started his own company at 21, doing the same thing and is a Rockstar and his own Boss. He way more Mature and has way better work ethic than I ever was. I’m not saying that this is the norm, because it takes a lot of work and dedication, but he’s got ZERO school loan debt at 21, and his own home and truck. Mike Rowe is spot on about his views of a College education. I never thought that one of my kids wouldn’t go to College Degree, but he did and has found much success and gratification in his life.

I feel bad for those coming in after the covid administration. They are inheriting all the consequences of inflation and college bloat.

2008 grad. DGAF about 2026 grads.



1998 Grad. The first 10 years of may career included the dot com bubble burst, 911, getting shipped off Afghanistan and Iraq and then the 2008 crash.

I can only feel so bad for them.

We had Indian contract IT guys on my floor at my last firm. I’ve told this story before.

1. They had a pot luck lunch every day. Not only did in smell like Indian food, but they would take up the microwaves for like half an hour warming up all their shite to feed like 15 people. You knew if you were using the kitchen to go before 12:15 or wait until 1 because they were going to commandeer it.
2. We would get about a quarterly email about bathroom etiquette. They didn’t throw toilet paper in the trash but these frickers would just about bathe in the bathroom and make a huge mess. Not only that, but for about 6 months something was wrong with the water supply and the water that came out of the sink was so damn hot you could barely keep your hands under it. These guys would sit there and brush their teeth with near boiling water and scoop it into their mouth. No idea how they could stand it.

Good for him. Hope it works out, but I’d be terrified of an economic downturn if I were him. EXTREMELY susceptible to recession. I hope he’s not over leveraged

I really feel for my daughter. She applied to college at peak COVID/Liberal stupidity (DEI, no SATs). She did not get into her first 8 choices, and now she has this to deal with.
