Quoting Noodles123:
Just finished an article in a British Newspaper online being the American Press is CRAP except for maybe Weird/Mother Jones/Strange and Paranoia Magazine.
In it they spoke to recent college graduates in the hardest hit European Countries like Greece, Spain, Italy etc. and although the governements will TELL you that unemployment is ruuning say at 15% or 20% the actual number is much HIGHER...In parts of Greece it's almost at 60% of those between 18-30...Spain is showing about 42% for 18-30 etc etc...Remember NEVER believe the Government numbers!
All this shows is many highly educated young people with NO money, NO dreams and lots of time...Which usually leads to bad things: Drugs, alcohol, partying, hooking up non-stop etc etc...Basically me back when I was 20...Which is okay as long as you grow out of it...Truth be told most don't grow out of it...They just crash and burn.
You know that REALLY smart friend who he/she was hot or handsome and he/she USED to do really well and now they're fat, sad and miserable?
What I did notice is all the people they interviewed were well spoken, well dressed, highly motivated, BUT all their majors were crap...Liberal Arts, Greek History, Tourism, Ocean Biology etc etc...There were no HARD science or technological majors among that crew.
So my advice YET AGAIN to those in the US who want to teach the children, be physical trainers, art, social science, psychology, Asian/Hispanic/Women/Black studies etc etc...Is STOP...Get a major that you can use and as gay as it sounds plumbers, repair men make good money and you can do your music and art on the side.
I got lucky, but all I am is a paper pushing, weapon wearing babysitter...I found my niche...I suggest that you out there who are about to start in a career look for your niche, because the money is drying up and soon we'll really feel it in the US...We think we have it bad but we still haven't hit bottom.
To those who believe they are giving up their dreams...I say Nyet...It's just a way to a means...I swing weapons in order to live life according to how I want...If real punks were smart and not so anti-establishment we would take over law enforcement and the medical field.
Not just be roadies for 90 year old Misfit Tribute bands or pretend that we can make a great living as: Go-Go Dancers, baristas, bartenders, waiters, doing hair, part time bass players in 3 bands, working at a used book/CD/Record store etc.
The dream is to get to what you want without needing and starving along the way...Too many of us either fell to the side and became yuppies or fat old punks with flip flops...The point was to get INSIDE the establishment and change it from within...What good is all the Tats, piercings, ratty clothes and hardcore music you play if you don't really stand for anything besides trying to look cool in front of other posers, drink cheap beer, do a line of tweek and mash at the Mosh Pit?
