You must have a job.
Where I am, the young guys just don’t get a break. They are literally scraping pennies off places, cutting tree limbs on jobs from Craig’s list.
You have a lot of nerve calling them “pukes.” what do you suggest for them, genius?
I have 3, thank you very much. Where I am, the young guys just don’t get a break.
Is where you are crawling with Ivy League graduates looking for careers? I'm not talking about the average Joe here. I'm talking about silver spoon Ivy League folks who have a responsibility to build on what the advantages they were given.

WalMart is always hiring and so is McDonalds, etc... There are always local bakeries, restaurants - whatever. These pukes would never find it in their bootstraps to learn a trade.
The problem is they have NO skills. You don't have to be a genius to get your a$$ out there and look. These people are generally looking for a career job when they need to be looking for work. They probably have no work ethic and most likely have never made a dime for themselves. If you can't find work where you are, then LEAVE. Go somewhere and find something to do or, like me with generally useless degrees in math and physics (that didn't come from and Ivy League school), create something out of thin air.
Further, if you graduated from an Ivy League school and didn't work your contacts, then shame on you. As the saying goes - it's not what you know, but who you know. These lazy slackers know the who's and refuse or don't know how to use their contacts.
And for the record I happen to be married to a Master's Degreed Humanities person. She has is tough, but she knuckles down and is an Associate Professor at 2 different colleges and works a bar on the weekends. In her spare time she is a museum Docent looking for and working contacts. I know how tough it is for Art people more than most. Don't tell me it can't be done - I know it can. You gotta want it.
