Heh! This pretty much sums up the employer experience of hiring millenials.

And it's a catfight! Some other millenial chick just tore her a new one on Business Insider.
"Trust me when I say, there are far more embarrassing things in life than working at a restaurant, washing dishes, or serving burgers at a fast food window. And one of them, without one shred of doubt, is displaying your complete lack of work ethic in public by asking for handouts because you refuse to actually do work that at the ripe old age of 25 that you think is unworthy of your witty tweet creating time."

So did I. Don't knock it.
Many authors (myself included) make nice money every month writing novels as well as non-fiction. I've twelve so far on the fiction side (techno-thrillers). Seven on the non-fiction side.
(though the mindset required to write 1500-2000 words per day is something you cannot learn from any college in the USA)

Since when do you need an English degree to be a writer?
Soothesayer said:
Most authors didn't major in English, though, and I would say it's actually a net negative for an aspiring author to choose that major.
The only reason to major in English besides having a pile of money to burn and simply enjoying the subject (nothing wrong with that) is to become an English teacher.

guaranteed she spends $100/month on that damn cat.
and what is up with millenials looking like they are 13 years old? shallow set eyes, thin, whispy (facial) hair, porcelein like skin, weak angular contours around the mouth, jawbone, nose, and eyes.
fucking justin beiber and mylie cyrus both still look like they are 14

Um it is called a baby face..Pretty sure people have always had them and not just millenials..why would you complain about girls aging slow as fuck?
Brian Shima said:
because I am not complaining about girls aging slow as fuck.
I am complaining that they look like they are still pre-pubescent well into their late 20s and never developing the facial features that makes them physically attractive.
and don't fucking 'um' me. I don't have time for that hipster passive aggressive text speak.

- I knew this was written by a chick almost instantly because she said 'I don't want to be a cliche...', no man gives two shits about being a cliche as long as it pays the bills (maybe pajama boy millennial faggots do?). Should have got her teaching certificate.
- Starting in customer service should qualify you for media...someday if you work hard and are lucky. You know what doesn't qualify you for media? The way you take five sentences to say what I can say in two (having in the past worked in media - I have some idea of what I'm talking about).
- You can't afford to eat anything other than rice? It's slimming, and of course there's always the world's oldest profession...
- 80% of your salary goes to rent...I REPEAT...80% of this basic chick's salary is rent, to further drive home how sheer idiocy of this...
- Seriously - find a few friends, rent something like this and your rent has been cut in less than half...I mean sure, it's a little far (about 50 minutes with traffic)...but people everywhere do that shit every day.
- There are easy and creative ways to steal food from the company fridge - you lack imagination and guile.
- Also, the Bay area has a climate well-adapted to growing your own vegetables...it's very inexpensive.
- She severely underestimates the importance of benefits - especially in America.
- Go to Starbucks, buy a water for like $2 and use their wifi instead of having to pay for it.
- 'But maybe I could find someone on Craigslist who won’t mind all of that because they’ll look at the dark circles under my eyes and realize I need the cash more than they do.' - the only people who give money to women without receiving anything in return are your thirsty, emasculated male cohorts. I might be compelled to give you$50*sees pic* $25 if you blow me and swallow and I feel sorry enough for you that day...
- You complain and complain about being underpaid for your work, your solution is volunteer work...Again...
- $24,000 extra yearly in San Francisco? Okay - you're now paying 55% of your earnings on rent and not 80%, which is nice, but you'll want to move. It's not much...
- A Bearing of Basic Bitch Behavior #273 - When you do shit like put off oil changes and let your car sit doing nothing because you can't afford it, on the day when it does break down (and it will)...be prepared to fork over at least two G's. An oil change is like $35, putting a spare tire on is promising some beta a dinner date after which you won't even need to put out if you don't want to - you can always afford it.
- You were fired for this diatribe. Remember next time you do this kids - THE INTERNET IS FOREVER!
San Francisco is a place I'd fuck my own mother before choosing to live in - BUT - it's the single most important technology hub on the planet. SF rewards innovators, the best and the brightest. If you're average, you're just more grist for the mill there.
She could have at least had a little extra spending cash if she lived in a less glamorous place like Vegas or Denver.
Hell, I was told the rule of thumb was not to pay more than 30% of your income on rent. I managed to get that down to 18% and had plenty of money for other things. If you're paying 80% of your income for rent, you're too stupid to live.

She can't, those places are full of micro-aggressions and trigger her too much. Have some sympathy.
Can someone please tell her that her only hope is to find a man to support her! Please specify that it might be a long search for her!
I'm going to take a different view of this one.
Maybe this person deserves to be ridiculed. I won't defend her actions or justify what she did.
But I personally have some sympathy for her situation. She is right: young people are barely getting by, and companies are paying shit wages.
Laugh if you want to, of course, until it's you who has no money.
But we also can't escape the reality that wage income for the average person has stagnated or gone down over the past few decades. For many young people starting out, they are crippled by debt and are not making any money.
Wages need to rise, and rise significantly for the average American.
The rich fatcats at the top have been bleeding the country white for the past 30 years. The leadership has a responsibility to take care of its citizens in a minimal way.
And that means a liveable wage, access to health care, and a chance at betterment.
Obligations and duties go both ways. The leadership is obligated to care about its people. And the people are obligated to obey the laws. (I dealt with this subject on Monday at ROK, when I talked about Apple's duty to obey the law).
One of the big problems I see today is the disregard of responsibilities by both sides. Citizens don't respect authority, and the leadership fails to live up to its responsibilities. It sells us out and doesn't fight for us.
Some say this is an old-fashioned, outdated way of thinking. But I don't see it this way. Without laws and duties, there is no society, and no communal bonds.
