Poast new message in this thread
Date: June 21st, 2012 9:20 PM Author: Bronze Bateful Bawdyhouse Clown Weird seeing people start to chart paths in life. Some doing very well (top grad schools, jobs, etc.) and some who've basically been doing retail or been funemployed for 1-3 years.
How is your life going? How are your friends, classmates, etc. doing? |

I experienced both of your "defining" events WAY more close and upfront than someone born in '89, who was 11-12 when 9/11 happened and couldn't have been sent to Iraq until the Surge, and who was still early enough in college to change majors when '08 happened. |

its the haves and the have nots....and the divergence happening now will continue for our entire lives. personally I'm glad to be on the winning side, for now at least. |

1/2 of the entire generation is under/unemployed
1/4 has a dead end job like "sales" or whatever, or random corporation
1/8 in grad school
1/8 in an "upward mobility" job
This BORT is too connected to consulting/finance b/c outside of that group, almost NO ONE at age 25-26, especially with the rate of millennials going to grad school, is making even close to 6 figures.
I think the summary for us will be great haves and have nots, but also majorly depressed lifetime earnings from heavy debtloads, boomers not leaving jerbs, and people starting careers at 30, instead of 22 |

All of my friends are divisible into 2 groups: bros who went to good colleges and are now doing well (with the exception of a few Cal bros who barely graduated) or are townies who have not changed at all since high school. I'm kind of jealous of the latter because they just smoke weed and play music and generally seem to be much happier than anyone else. There's a lot to be said about being a slacker. But, actually, a lot of them are miserable because they still live at home and are perpetually broke, so who knows how much longer they can deal with their situation. A few have started to get their shit together cuz reality is sinking in.
My wife comes from a very ghetto desert town and good god her FB friends really shine a light on the dire situation of the modern economy. |

Date: August 24th, 2012 12:17 AM Author: Orange vivacious whorehouse boistinker 10 HS friends who come to mind:
1. State school philosophy -> PhD Philosophy -> political type job that pays 60K in MFH + very involved in politics 2. State school EECS -> dropped out -> scrounging IT temp jobs while unemployed for 2+ years 3. HYPSM philosophy -> job at big tech company -> job at established start-up -> quit and trying to start own start-ups 4. HYPSM math -> Math tutor and trying to figure out what to do next 5. State school math -> started PhD in math -> went on leave and working in analytics job at established start-up 6. State school philosophy -> small-law paralegal -> T6 law school 7. HYPSM biology -> worked in public health jobs -> T20 medical school 8. HYPSM public policy -> MBB -> T14 law school 9. Ivy economics -> UBS IBD -> moved to South America to do something -> start-up management -> quit to work on own start-ups and his get-rich-quick blog 10. HYPSM EE -> R&D at start-up -> dropped out to travel the world for 3 years, including joining a commune in Tel Aviv and spending 4 months in East Africa -> figuring out what to do next.
So, including me, out of the 11 of us, at ages 25-27, exactly 2 are currently earning a salary. And the state school bros seems to have more drive to avoid funemployment. Only the guy who dropped out of college is really depressed about his current state, though. |

1) HYPSM computer science --> start-up job 2) Crappy state school biology --> low ranked med school 3) Good state school bio engineering --> low ranked med school 4) Good private bio engineering --> low ranked med school 5) Good state school EECS --> start-up 6) Crappy state school EECS --> engineer 7) Decent private school EECS --> engineer 8) Crappy state school chemistry major --> teacher 9) Crappy state school math major --> works in the service industry 10) Crappy state school biology --> low ranked med school 11) Crappy state school math major --> PhD in math 12) Crappy state school biology --> lab manager
You don't have to be that smart to get into medical school or become an engineer. Except for the friend working in the service industry, they are all doing what they said they wanted to do in high school. |
