Oh, wait, that isn't glamorous or sexy enough for your 200k Liberal Arts degree. Your fellow hipsters at Starbucks might shun you.

[DimSumDude]

GM factory workers in FL getting paid $29/hr. I need to quit my job...

Phuck, these threads make my uni degree less and less credible.

[NVious]

I hope in your next life you incarnate as a woman who gets brought up in Boston, is a total feminist and whines about how men are all pigs and disgusting pieces of ****.

[MartinFultz]

I work in a factory for a third of that lol

lmfao

why don't women take these factory jobs?

Oh yeh, that's right, that isn't glamorous or sexy enough for your 200k Liberal Arts degree. Your fellow hipsters at Starbucks might shun you.

[Darkwatcher759]

pretty sure most hipsters would cream themselves about such a job

[Ryanast]

physical labor job for 100k a year sign me up damnit

[Jay3]

Makes a good headline, but like banking, most are not going to be on the big bucks

[sumZy]

"People lost interest in manufacturing"

no ****? rofl

[marzo]

getting my ChemE degree so I might actually work in a factory/plant setting

[EMartNJ]

$100k after ten years and I'd be willing to bet that's about as high as you can go without a degree. Goddamnit ScubaStevo, why are you such a retard?

[ScubaStevo]

wrong. you can't wear scarves or tweet on your ipad while working heavy machinery

[ManyBigGuys]

lmfao most white collar jobs don't pay that much after 10 years.

you're the f*Cking retard. working in a factory sure beats getting welfare checks (unless you are pro-99%)

job sector suffering from low employment:

come work for us, you can potentially be ceo 10kday herp derp herp

[bbacn123]

In five years, he or she could be making more than $50,000. In 10 years, that could double to $100,000

LMFAO. And I could play scratch off lotteries each and every day and make 100k too.

head carpenters get $80/hour at the airport and other big building jobs.. true ****ing story, I've seen the audits. This isn't to just install them, it's to work there full time. Skilled labor is so underrated due to liberal colleges teaching you lies out the ass.

Whichever liberal feminist hipster girl broke your heart didn't realize what she was unleashing

It's about the ceiling, having a degree raises your potential to earn. It's no secret that plebeian labor jobs pay more at first but are surpassed by corporate/management jobs that require degrees.

[ScubaStevo]

This x2

so, instead of taking a factory job making 40-50k (very respectable), you would rather the 99% cry about how the rich aren't givign them enough money?

LMFAO

[ScubaStevo]

You're right. It is much better to get 300k in debt with a liberal studies degree, go protest outside of wallstreet about how life is unfair, and tweet on your iphone (paid for by student loan debt).

[bbacn123]

But his friends, Joseph Johnson, 18, who is thinking about a job in medical services, and Charlie Leaf, 18, who wants pursue a career in psychiatry, are not interested in manufacturing.

I especially like this part of the article where we try to bash the high school students with actual aspirations.

The union has done it's work, I see. I wonder how long that will last.

[CarlMcGuirk]

I'd quit my white collar job to do that for 100k.

[Bodybreak]

That^.

Its the ceiling, my dad busted his ass through school worked tons of low paying jobs until he was about 30. Now in his 50s he makes 300k/year to sit on his ass all day and tell people what to do. I sh*t you not my dad got paid 10k today to just sit on his laptop and help run a chemical clean up...

[mattyoc3]

Median household income fell 2.3% to $49,445 last year.

[EMartNJ]

You're right. It is much better to get 300k in debt with a liberal studies degree, go protest outside of wallstreet about how life is unfair, and tweet on your iphone (paid for by student loan debt).

You're cherry picking, Steve. Maybe if you went to a liberal arts school and got a degree you would know the fundamentals of logic.

[TooYoungForMisc]

I'd rather make 50k working a 9-5 office job than close to 100k working in a factory. That's hypothetically though, reality is I'll be making 400k in passive income by the time I am 25 years of age.
