Umass boston was largely a joke. I do agree with that.
It's mostly a time and money sink for a piece of paper unless you're going into a profession that requires it... though you don't usually need a degree, instead you need to pass various certifications. There's even wacky exceptions like not needing a degree at all to take the BAR exam in Vermont.
Then there's the hyper conservative colleges out there.... I couldn't tell you at all how those go but I wouldn't assume very well.
Preach. I can do nothing but agree, and I have insider info in the insurance industry, pharma and healthcare. It's all a game to make the rich even richer and the politicians are colluding in such a bipartisan fashion you'd think the parties were fully unified.
So the plan is to replace all the union jobs with contractors that don't get benefits, are filmed on the job at all times, and to have the hiring organization control all power of negotiation.
Fucking great. Let's do it. Make america poor again. Time to go back to the 1800s guys.
Sure those are all well and good ideas. My wife works in HR and she's yet to work at a company that calls the registrars office. They do criminal background checks all over, but rarely do they go beyond that. We're in mass, so we're entitled to a copy of our background check performed by the business, if you're in a similar situation i'd recommend checking it out.
That being said, if you're applying for a job you're never gonna get an interview for (Director or Manager roles without an MBA or BS) then you have quite literally nothing but your time to lose.
They have to learn the hard way. People can't think that hard by and large.
Time and time again the crooks win because they are the best liars and they don't have any scruples. Until people feel the impact of poverty or supply chain disruption they are just gonna keep believing whatever they hear from the source their buddies at work tell them is legit.
Good job Frank Davis! You won! Now go away.
What's the consequences of not lying on your resume? you can't get a good job.
What's the consequences of being caught lying on your resume? you lose your good job.
What's the consequences of not getting caught? You get paid to do the job that didn't require the degree to begin iwth.
The consequences are the same whether or not you do it. The benefits greatly outweigh the risks.
lol, you think most of those guys went to college?

Welcome to how the world works. I promise it gets worse as you look around.
Humans are evil.
Wow, look at that! The price of strollers just went up 5k!
Replace strollers with basically anything related to birth or infants. 5k more to spend? 5k more to earn by big business selling wares.
This assumes the hospital doesn't determine that you seem to owe 5k more for that one out of network service provider they slipped in while you were distracted during birthing.
Yeah, the nuance is kind of nuts but i've got a relative who had and lost about 5m. Could have cashed out at the 5m number but didn't. Got about 40k at the end of all of it.
Numerous friends who went into startups have somewhat similar things, but few had that much equity available for sale at any time.
I hated TLJ. I grew up on the OG and saw the awful prequels in theatres despite knowing they were bad.
Too much bad writing. Too many plot holes. Too many monumental changes to how the universe works.
I've seen this happen to multiple people. Join a startup with good perks, listen to the siren song of "the stock price will go up!" while the owners are out getting offers for their shares, then the owners sell out or the company tanks and you're left with nothing despite having millions just a couple years ago on paper.
The key is to sell out once you have enough that it makes enough to impact your life. 500k or more is enough to escape poverty for almost anybody for life.
Even if you just sold it as it vested you would probably be better off.
If they've moved and it's on an old email... yeah... good luck getting that 1099 to them at the old address without an email.
I don't really think that's the case. If you live in an exceptionally partisan area then there's little impact to voting.
I don't think going into a fox news comment section is going to give you any useful info. The thing seems like it's full of the "people of facebook" combined with a shitload of bots and trolls. I don't think it's representative of literally anybody.
Do you believe in the power of a curse?
I know quite a few spanish speaking people here who are hyper conservative. In general latin america is a greatly more conservative place than the US, so it's kind of amazing seeing the conservatives here targeting them.
Poorer immigrants usually work in conservative spaces for poverty wages especially if they are not fluent in English, but the conservatives want to kick them out and start the white breeding programs to get some more white homegrown poverty cases going in red states.
When I hear people be all nationalistic in regards to their planned expenditures I never expect them to really bite the bullet.
Experiments like this are why I doubt i'm wrong. https://afina.com/blogs/news/made-in-usa
People en masse don't care about where something is made, they care about how much they are paying for it, assuming both products are of identical quality. I don't doubt that many will simply avoid spending money altogether. I doubt there are many out there willing to voluntarily pay more just for a made in X badge.
