Really smart, confident people don't mind starting at the bottom because they know they have the drive and skills to win promotions. It's the slackers who complain.
I don't see any problem starting at the bottom and striving to move up. I think there are many jobs in hospitality and other areas where you can do that. I think job hunters need to know their skills and experience and try to find a job where they can grow.
I think there is a way to explain the perils of life and the realities of job hunting without deflating everyone's egos to the point they won't even feel like trying.
So true about the need for positivity, @Broadway. For many these days, graduation day is the last moment of celebrating achievement before the realities of the job market and student loan repayments intrude.
Hard to see the harm in psyching up for the journey, isn't it?
If you don't have your parents emotionally supporting you, you better have a great partner, or great friends. Otherwise, you better be one tough mutha f'er. As for graduation speakers who are jerks, hopefully they don't get another speaking job. The one requisite of a graduation speaker is POSITIVITY!
I agree, @Drivewaygirl. What a cranky guy! I couldn't help wondering if he had kid(s) himself. Because, fact is, every kid in the world needs a fan club! I'm not sure how you're magically supposed to find your passion if no one is behind you in the search.
In my opinion, my kids walk on water. Always have, always will. Doesn't mean I pay their bills, but I DO believe in them!
If they don't want to get a driver license, then what do they do? Don't drive?
On the other hand, going school probably cost more, but it's better to graduate somewhere so they find find a better job. In that case, shall young people just don't go to school?
