You and JC Breck sound the same. If you possess skills not in demand, then it is your problem, not employers problem. Blame obami, did you vote for an anti business marxist? Sounds like it.
No, I voted for McCain.
My skills lie in Statistics which is in demand however finding entry level jobs is quite complicated in this economy thanks to the large amount of individuals with 2+ years experience taking the lower level jobs which pushes people such as myself out of the entry level jobs in that field. While I may not like it, it’s a fact of life and I have to deal with it. It’s my problem and maybe I’ll get lucky in that some employer will give me my first shot and let me prove that I can produce. If not, I’ll keep trying! :D
What I keep hearing is a vocal minority on FR that despises young conservatives and holds ridiculous assumptions about that demographic. For example, you assumed I voted for Odumbo. Ignorant much?
That minority is also trying, and succeeding, at driving away young conservatives through constant personal attacks instead of listening to our opinions and experience in the entry-level labor markets. While we may not know much of anything, we do know the conditions of that specific labor market and how they affect us. Disagreements are fine but please don’t assume that A) you’re superior to us in anyway or B) that you know everything because you most certaintly aren’t and do not.
I’m more than willing to listen and acknowledge your stereotypes of my generation (many are quite accurate) but you should also be willing to listen to our experiences and our views because sometimes we may actually have something to contribute to the conversation that you older folks may not know.
Food for thought.
