I'll drink to that. Probably 90% of these graduates are going to learn just how useless their degrees are once the economy tumbles. Best friend is a welder and I'm a stock trader with a history of carpentry, sales, and electronics repair. Maybe most people here would think I have a Jewy career but in our capitalist world if you don't know finance then you're probably getting bent over the table by someone somewhere. I just wanted a job where I can make money on my knowledge of the world (history, psychology, philosophy, business) and handle the families finances. This was a good fit, most of my family has no idea what they're doing but have some degree of wealth they'd probably like to hold onto.
The US is going to lose its hegemony as the world reserve currency in the future and the useless fucks here will have to learn what actual work is and what it means to produce goods again. I don't think it will be AS bad as many think, but it will turn the world upside down for these city people who built a life around hedonism and materialism. If you park your money in the right places you'll probably do quite well.

That right there is the problem. They have no skills and haven't honed enough dexterity and muscle to be useful. They have no experience growing food, building tools, repairing electronics - they're the cellphone video game generation that is only good for running the computers and drones.
Couldn't agree more. Well rounded individuals are easily adaptable, they can take their experience from other things they've done and apply it to whatever else they do in the future. Most of my generation is ENTIRELY untrainable. You'd literally be better off hiring a teenager than a 30+ year old millennial/gen z.
