Cry me a river, go to a 2 year trade school make 50 to 100k a year, work for 10 years start your own business if you want. Opportunity is equal, people thinking they are victims is the issue. It's just rediculous, cry baby victim mentality.

Exactly

[@fwjlooman]

Are you saying that you think you have an opportunity at Morgan Stanley or Johnson & Johnson with a trade school background?

@@fwjlooman People who deserve a job will get a job. Since when do people automatically deserve high paid corporate CEO roles? This is the problem with that type of thinking. You don't automatically get everything you want, you have to earn it, and even when you work hard and try and reach a coal it isn't even gauranteed. That is called life, so GTFO here with that victim I deserve this or that. You don't deserve crap you work for what you get, and you don't always get what you work for. I just made that up you can quote that because it's an awesome quote. "YOU WORK HARD FOR WHAT YOU GET, BUT YOU DON"T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WORK FOR' that is how people should think. Gen Z is the biggest group of crybaby victims I've ever seen.

@@fwjlooman Also why is working for Johnson and Johnson or Morgan Stanley a high water mark, you can start your own company with a trade school, and make a ton of money on your own. Working for Johnson and Johnson who sold aids infected drugs to 3rd world companies shouldn't be a high water mark. I'm mostly retired I just turned 44 I worked as a network engineer for a decade, started my own company sold it and am now retired at 44 mostly.

If all you need are the skills, and companies are willing to train you through internships without requiring prior experience or a degree, why not take that opportunity? These pathways are now being paved by both specialized programs and forward-thinking companies in partnership. More and more, companies are searching for talent in places they wouldn’t have traditionally considered, recognizing that opportunity gaps exist, particularly for individuals from lower economic backgrounds. Fortune 500 companies are increasingly acknowledging this inequality and are opening doors that were previously closed to many. Getting a foot in the door with some of these companies can be genuinely life-changing. For example, starting as an intern at JP Morgan is nearly invaluable. The skills and experience gained there aren’t just about fulfilling a role; they represent a foundation that could shape the trajectory of a career. If converted to a full-time position, you could start out earning $70,000 to $100,000 as an analyst, and that's just a starting amount and position at JP Morgan. Over the next 10 years, the financial gains could far exceed what might have been achievable through traditional routes, providing the flexibility to climb even higher in the corporate ladder or to venture into your own business. The ability to generate that level of financial security opens doors to other forms of success and impact, offering the potential not only to elevate oneself but also to bring others along on the journey. Seizing these pathway programs is not only a step toward personal and financial independence but also an avenue to contribute to the broader goal of uplifting communities. Taking this chance means working to break cycles of poverty and proving that talent can come from anywhere when given the opportunity. This isn’t just about a job; it’s about building a legacy and creating a ripple effect for those who will follow.
