Boring, mediocre, mind-numbingly average, no marketable skills, no realistic job prospects, no hope of ever moving on up.
for management FAll 2003 roomates;
They eagerly await their acceptance into a job as a "manager" apparently.
...Buttt how in the world are you going to be promoted into the position of "management," with managerial duties and resp0onsiblities, if you were not already working in that given job environment?
They expect swift [[promotion]]] hiring straight into a job in management directly out of college. Evidently they think that when they are walking in the ceremony, they will be handed their college diploma on stage, then walk off stage, and have a gushing hiring manager fawning all over them at the end of the stage waiting breathlessly to give them a job.
But.... you don't even know the job duties.
If you are hired straight out of college into a job position in "management," you would not even know what the job is! Since you do not have any work experience in that particular office setting, you would not even know what the job entails. How in the world are you going to "manage" a group of people if you don't even know the kind of work they do?
You have to first have enough work experience in one of the [[[foot-level jobs]]]. you have to be very familiar with all the other little job titles and the full scope of their duties. You have to be able to do all of their work,,, know the full range of their job responsibilities. You cannot expect to be a "manager" without knowing what you are managing. What all of this means is that you would have to already start working in one of the entry-level jobs of the office. Then when you have acquired ample enough work experience, then you would be eligible to be considered for the supervisor job.
Sooo... you are not learning any actual job skills. You are learning "management," which means you are learning that you have to get a job.
Erm... why not just go out and get a job then? You do realize that you are not going to get a management job the minute you graduate? You're going to have to start, horror of horrors, in an entry-level job, and then work your way up to manager.
Frankly, I would have a lot more respect for these people if they simply bucked up, got realistic, sucked in their pride, and got jobs in manual labor, rather than complain that they can't get a $60,000 salary job straight out of college. If they went out and got jobs in manual labor, that way they would have actual work experience. Skilled labor, whatever.
And of course it goes without saying that I would have enormous respect for them if they went for something in a much higher calling, something college-required that would actually get them a job after graduating. Any of the SMET jobs are a given. Or education is always a mainstay. But not this no man's land, limbo, boring, lifeless, vast wasteland in which they exist now.
I just read over this and I feel like it sounds too much like I dislike white people. Look, I don't dislike white people, I really don't. I try not to sink into a stereotyping mindset, either. It’s just that they are not exactly helping white stereotypes of blandness.
