Lost Generation, wow sucks to be young today.

If you don't like the way it is the young and even not so young can drop out. Grow their hair, buy a guitar and jig up and down like demented chickens

NGAFF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quote from DIce:

Meh, it's not bad at all. You just gotta not be a fool and go get a useful degree. There is something like 100,000 unfilled engineering jobs in the Western world (mostly USA and Germany) according to an article I read a few days ago, and no one to fill them with. I graduated from my masters in aerospace engineering in June and had a job lined up right away, and so did everyone else I graduated with, all paying well.

There are plenty of opportunities out there for young people.

This is total bullshit

I got friends with mechanical engineering degree with 5-6 years of expeerience looking for a job. They sent hundreds of resumes in TX but the response is always same;

"You have experience in defense industry but we need someone with energy industry experience"

This is total bullshit, since machine is a machine. It is the same principal same logic but companies are overwhelmed with thousands of resumes pouring in so they are more picky

I work for an energy company as a credit analyst and I applied to many jobs within the company for more technical positions like risk analyst or supply pricing and the like. All those jobs are filled with engineers or PHDs who accepted the $60-$65K/year. Gone are the old days. wake up

The job market is fucked up right now.
 
When you can employ 30 Indian graduates for the price of 1 Western grad it all makes sense.

Everyone expects to be paid too much for an 8 hour day.
 
Quote from AKUMATOTENSHI:

It is far worse than that. If any of you have ever had to deal with a elderly family member E.O.L. issue. The health care industry has plenty of packages and products to sell you. The Boomers are just starting to have to deal with macro population shift. If your parents manage to make it to managed care status and an estate has any wealth in it. It will be drained sucked dry and a debt will likely be incured. It is just about the bottom line and profit. The Boomers will spend an exorbinant amount of money to maintain a healthy active life style. The massive amount of wealth will be drained into the health care industry leaving Gen X and later with nothing and a large debt.
When a family applies for long term health care one of the question that must be filled out is the value of the estate. When that number is handed over to the office monkeys and bean counters an estimated term is set. If the estate is worh nothing they will kindly tell you that they can not assit you. If there is no wealth in the estate then the state gets burdened. If the family decides to take out a loan and a reverse mortage then all assets near the estate will be drained out. It cold and impersonal when you get to the botttom line. How much is a life worth?
It is part a very much larger issue of global debt bondage which ensures the ruling class stay in power. The philosophy is "If I have your debt I own you"

Sadly what you have written is very true. This is, I suppose, why we can expect the health care industry to fight tooth and nail against legalizing euthanasia --but of course they will have high sounding "good" reasons: deaf panels, etc. Who among us wants to wither away in a nursing home, kept drugged and barely alive until all our assets have been subsumed by the "healthcare" industry?

One possibility is to transfer ownership of all your assets to your heirs while you are still healthy, and at least five years before you expect to become a vegetable in a nursing home. Then being officially destitute you will qualify for medicaid. (There is a time limit under which this won't work.) But why should the taxpayers' money be transferred on your behalf to the health industry. Where is the fairness in that? Or perhaps move, while you are still able, to Oregon. I believe physician assisted euthanasia is legal there, isn't it?

Why should we have to bother with any of this in our old age? It's ridiculous. The U.S. has become a ridiculous country.

The U.S. health care industry is ultimately a disaster for everyone except those feeding directly at the trough!

I am glad I was the last generation to get on the bus to wealth before it left the station. Looks like the folks left behind are screwed. With 100K college debts which are non dischargable and penalties stacking up compounding to infinite. working minimum job at best.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/09/22/national/main20110000.shtml

In record-setting numbers, young adults struggling to find work are shunning long-distance moves to live with Mom and Dad, delaying marriage and buying fewer homes, often raising kids out of wedlock. They suffer from the highest unemployment since World War II and risk living in poverty more than others — nearly 1 in 5.

20yrs from now will you still hold same opinion... suks to be young?

So far as I am aware this isn't a factor in U.S. Universities. I know of no legitimate U.S. graduate programs where ones country of origin determines the amount of your stipend. Do you? Stipends do vary, of course, depending on whether one is supported by research grant money, a teaching assistantship, fellowship, etc., and possibly also on how far along you are in your particular program.

Currently, in the sciences, stipends for pre-doctoral graduate students are typically in the 15-25K range, depending on location, discipline, and local cost of living: lower in some other regions, higher in others. Graduate students in the sciences work twelve months, with little time off.

The primary reason their are many foreign graduate students in some disciplines is that there is a shortage of qualified U.S. students in those disciplines, and stipends are awarded competitively on the basis of merit.

At some point you may learn about DNR. Many states allow you to file a DNR so that you can be "looked up" by the medical industry. In AZ, a FAX is sent to the inquirer and the background is a solid orange color to call attention to the DNR which is cosigned and notarized and delivered by the AZ state government immediately.

You may also wish to research the SOP of skipping inheritance taxes.

Thirdly, the health industry maintains it's competitiveness by using a CMS based "safety net". The safety net applies to A, B C and D (especially the donut hole) portions of CMS and is but a few thousand dollars as a line in the sand.

Also, I reread you post and see, further that you do not know how Medicard runs out and becomes Medicaid. All of this is automatically avoided by using the safety net in order that Medicare is prevented from running out. there is an enrollment period coming up 15OCT; trundle down to any workshop offered by the health industry (they are free of charge) and you will get trinkets as well.

Jack, I would have liked to have read your post, as you may have had something useful to say, but i found it to be unintelligible gibberish, other than the part about the Do Not Resuscitate directive. Perhaps you can find someone that can translate it into English for you, and re-post.

I think perhaps you were trying to refer to the features of Medicare, but I am not sure. If so, I don't believe Medicare covers nursing home expense. Even with Medicare part D, which is the drug coverage portion, out of pocket expenses can be difficult to afford for many seniors of moderate means until they are past the "doughnut hole."
