How are you dealing with the ongoing education crisis? How devastating do you think it will be when the multiple spending bubbles pop?

t. Guy from a corrupt college that was recently bailed out by the Government. 4 years of my life thrown to waste. Everyone involved got out. One of them lives in China now.

I'm in EE right now, I might probably join the military as an EO since it seems to pretty much be the only source of stable employment now a days.

Too late for that. I can't get back the years I've lost. It could have been worse.

All I have now is the will to get my revenge on the State and "make it", despite being scammed and put down. There hasn't been a day I've woke up since that I have not wished to redo it all. Perhaps a lot of adults know how that feels. It was far too early for me to learn it. I can't forgive my parents that pushed me into it and placed impossible standards on me. The teachers that knew they were scamming me and still had the audacity to act arrogant and entitled. The Government that was there only to lie and later collect its money.

What really crushes you is when you're out working some low skilled trash job and you start getting used to it. You hate every second but with time grow complacent and feel yourself lose the courage to quit and move on to something better. Having risked and failed big time once haunts you every day.

CCs are still alright if they offer trade programs. That's what I'm doing-Getting CISCO licensed to go with my electronics while I work well under the average wage for a PCB manufacturing company.

If nothing else, the vet benefits and status give you an edge over your engineering classmates at major companies like Lockheed (and politically over non-libertarians). Plus plenty of chances to school enlistees on economics/why the government sucks.

Only advice is to try and get secret clearance.

Don't worry, eventually you'll feel lucky and that you made good decisions to even get that "low skilled trash job."

I understand that feeling extremely well anon, but you have to push through it. Even if it's moving from a trash job to a less trashy job.

My employment progression (since 16, 23 now) went something like:

>Goodwill Cashier: Minimum

>Goodwill ADC (donations): Minimum

>Sprouts Grocery Clerk: $9.00

>Sprouts Dairy Assistant Supervisor $9.45

>Student Activist (same time as supervisor): Gas Expenses and $200/semester budget

<Turned down a picker puller position for $13/hour because couldn't work with school schedule

<Dropped out of Uni MechE/Aerospace minor

<Started Electronics Technician "AAS" (trade school)

>Wal-Mart Cashier: $10.00 (paid better than Sprouts as an assistant supervisor)

<Turned down a job as both a supervisor ($13.00) and as a manufacturing assistant at Bal Seal Engineering ($10.50 + mandatory overtime) during this time

>Sam's Club Cart Pusher/Gas Attendant: $10.50

>PCB Manufacturing: $10.75 (won't name them since it's a small company)

<Earned degree but can't claim it or I'll lose my private scholarships

<Only a handful of electrical certifications that I was able to claim without losing scholarships

I'm getting my CISCO and Solidworks certs this year and going into the Navy. I've probably been turned down for over 50 manufacturing/technician positions in the last six months alone, but I keep pushing forward regardless. Once I'm out of the Navy (guaranteed to go in as an E3), I'll be able to get technician jobs paying $15 on the low end and $25/hour on average. If I really feel like risking my life, I can go work for a doping facility (diode production) bringing in about $120k/year on an associates degree. Eventually that "big break" comes if you keep looking. See PDF related.

If you're American, see https://discoverpraxis.com I know the CEO and "graduates" of the program, it's pretty damn useful considering your position.

I'm studying and will graduate soon so I hope the bubble doesn't burst then and hope that accounting is still valuable.

Same shit in Bulgaria. Barely anyone works anything remotely connected to what they studied. Most have moved to work abroad and only comeback to spend it here where it's worth more. Some don't want to comeback ever again. The bubble is still going though. One generation wasn't enough so they had to reinflate it with more borrowing.

is tertiary education for free in bulgaria just like in poland?

Nah, the government focuses more on keeping useless institutions alive and the unions in check. Even if you go for a trade school don't expect a job. My city's churning out jobless veterinarians. right now. You can go for a government paid scholarship, but I'd advise avoiding those as well. There is a small IT boom now, but I expect that to blow up in the future here as well. All of the Keynesian spending is just piling up and suffocating the economy. The few that are doing well are dodging regulations and evading taxes. It's the only way to not go broke.

I'll be leaving for good after a while. There are still a few places where people value freedom and that is not here. I'm not going to fight for someone who doesn't want it.

Oh and btw, we recently started airing paid propaganda (by the US Government) to stay in our country and "make a change"ourselves, of course, by obediently working under the same political and economic conditions, and nothing further. Nice to know that someone in America might be on the streets or in need of help because Bulgarians have to be told to rot in their containment camp of a State.

All the benefits to the economy Bulgarians from abroad bring back is rarely mentioned. Gypsies living in mud huts comeback and can afford to purchse/build their own home with nothing more than unskilled labor abroad after just 2 or 3 years of saving. That's some real "wage slavery" right there. Thank the Left for protecting us from it.

Still making a choice between Britain and the US. Switzerland is way too strict on immigration and I'm not gonna bother learning the language, so that's out. I'm not wanted anywhere. That's already taken into account. I have relatives in London and Chicago. I can deal with the first and absolutely prefer avoiding the second. Don't care what I'll be working initially. A job is fine, any kind.
