Well, I am very close to killing myself because I am living in my car, running out of money, and cannot get a job.
So, it’s nice to know that the four years I spent getting a degree means absolutely nothing.
People refuse to do any sort of critical thinking about what is on my resume.
On my resume is states that I was a paratrooper in the U.S. Army. Do you now how
many people have ever asked me about that in an interview? NONE! It’s never mentioned.
My first year of college overlaps with my last year of being in the Army. The dates
are right there on the resume. Do you know how many people have noticed that? NONE!
With a slight amount of critical thinking people would look at that and think, “hmmm,
I bet that was a difficult experience and I imagine this person has some sort of ambition
and work ethic”.
I had to wake up at 4:30AM everyday to do 5 mile runs or morning PT, work all day until
5PM, and then go to night school from 5:30PM to 9PM. I was the only person in my Battalion
who went to college. While all the other soldiers drank and partied in the barracks nights
and weekends I went to college. It’s never even noticed in an interview.
So, thanks for your empathy. Like I originally stated the world has gone fucking crazy.
Also, I didn’t buy a degree - I earned it.
And your logic is that “Degrees and certs cannot be trusted” but some 15 minute
bullshit personality test or assessment is a trustworthy indicator.
If you see that someone is a veteran with an honorable discharge and has earned a four year degree then you should be able to do a tiny amount of critical thinking and realize that this person has the ability to jump through some hoops and has done so for years.
