I got my degree eight years ago and still haven't been able to use it. Every job opening that claims to be entry level actually wants five years of experience in something that came out two years ago.
As someone who actually worked at a radio shack towards the end, but got fired cause I'm not big into backing down and one of the old heads didn't like me cause I moved fast. Not a physical fight, just a verbal confrontation.
Like John, my brother in Christ. You weren't getting commissions for like a year before I even started!
Not gunna lie. Cheap ass Mac and cheese with some actual butter(assuming you have that much) is like way up there in the on the "ACCEPTABLE" chart for me. I sometimes throw in a can of Rotel and/or some cheap chorizo for a little taste of home.
My fancy boxed mac n cheese mix is mixing the powder sauce with smoked Gouda and Parmesan. Real butter. Mixing it into the cooked pasta. Then adding sauted brussel sprouts and some parsley onto it.
Not really. But if people are complaining about eating out a dog bowl, their situation may be worse than ours. I know I used vegetable oil before in college. It's serviceable, but don't recommend it
My implied claim here is that there are more people graduating with degrees in every major than the economy can fill jobs for in any of them. Youth unemployment is rising! Trying to find a job is really difficult and even degrees once thought “safe” (such as CS) have stingy employers who think AI will replace the need for training fresh graduates.
You might think “oh that’s fine, people who studied other subjects won’t care about CS people.” But if those CS grads can’t get CS jobs they’ll look for other jobs, increasing competition in other fields. This can have a domino effect throughout the youth job market.
At uni I ended up microwaving tinned macaroni cheese on white sliced bread in my room as a snack. I’d never do that now as it’s double carbs and gross, but what was going on back then?

if they had just pursued a degree in pet play instead of whatever they majored in, they wouldn't have anything to complain about.

Oh shit, didn't even notice it's a dog bowl, I thought it was a commentary on not being able to affort better food.

well now you have a degree and some mac and smack in a cool bowl.
id say things are on the way up.
Alexstarfire@lemmy.world · 30 pts · 301d
Looks like a dog bowl. If you're giving dogs Mac and cheese, I'm not sure where that puts you on the socioeconomic ladder.
TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 301d
What are you saying dogs aren't cool? Plus you gotta be like, rich to have a dog or something.

Just say you have five. Clearly no one's checking.

If you do, use the Circuit City/Toys R Us trick. Pick an out of business company for your CV so they can’t check references.

I am once again reminded I am unable to see a picture of mac and cheese and not prepare it for myself immediately. Thank you.

I make ramen like this, drain the water, add butter, seasoning pack, and sriracha. So good.

Is butter that expensive in the US? Where I live it's only a bit more than margarine.

A degree in what?
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 301d
Does it matter? The US graduated over 2 million people with bachelor’s degrees in spring of 2025. How are all those people supposed to find jobs?
Blackmist@feddit.uk · 3 pts · 299d
The important thing is they're all up to their eyeballs in debt. Teamwork makes the dream work.
wesker@lemmy.sdf.org · 2 pts · 301d
Yes, why wouldn't it matter? Do you think economies maintain demand for every conceivable degree equally, year after year?
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world · 12 pts · 301d

Okay.
My question was what field does OP have a degree in?
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 301d
I dunno. OP can still answer your original question above!
RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz · 2 pts · 299d
Of course it matters, some degrees are in way higher demand than others
