Spent all day interviewing college students
 

jobs!

did your experience fit the narrative that all college grads these days are dumb and self-involved and not willing to work?

kind of impressed with how many kids have their shit together and not even out of college. These kids are going to pay for my social security and medicare so we gotta get them earning and paying taxes asap!

how competitive is whatever you're interviewing for, if you don't mind me asking

i'm still sort of fascinated about the transition from full time school to full time work.

I've hired 4 college grads in the past 4 years. Every one of them is impressive, incredibly hard working and I'm proud of how well they've all done. Each of them was promoted within 12 months of starting an entry level job.

i hope they die

pretty competitive. I don't know how to quantify it. But we're competing with companies like Kraft, P&G, Target, etc. to hire grads out of specific degree programs at half a dozen colleges in the US. For entry level hires they'll need to come from a specific degree program, have a high GPA (upper three point) and have a quality internship on their resume. Most of them will get competitive offers from a number of companies.

This year we'll hire 80 paid interns and hire three dozen for permanent entry level positions. We talked to about 100 today. two dozen will get longer follow up interviews tomorrow.

what's the starting salary?

varies... depends whether we're placing someone with a BA/BS or an MBA. A few might make it into an accelerated leadership program that would start north of 40k. the rest below that. But most of the entry level hires are promoted within 24 months and can make significantly more than that after a promotion.

also, pretty good health care, 401k and our new office is the shit

but they have to see scotty every day. you'd have to pay me more than that.

you must spread some reputation around before giving it to Cool As Ice Cream again

shut the fuck up, scotty!

thanks, brah

no prob

How come scot get great big baby tearz when i tell him to stfu

fuck you, trots!

lulz

scot you need to chill

it's just weird how he seems to love having CAIC be all shitty to him but it's super mean when i do it

it's not weird at all

also, I'm not "super mean" to you. you just have chip on your shoulder. I could say 100 nice things to you in a row, but you'd only remember the last comment or reply that you didn't like or took the wrong way.

come on trots, let's hug it out

shut the fuck up scotty

i'm just mad at gen x what can i say i think you guys are dumb

They were born and raised under different circumstances though so their outlook is different. A lot of Gen Xers were born into single parent households or their parents got divorced when they were young. Gen Yers had a different more stable upbringing.

they're a bunch of burn outs. no wonder they only make 40k

in the end we're all just worm food in the end

scot i'm mostly just fucking with you, you do piss me off sometimes doe

no

when gen x emerged from college into the job market it was the 90s and the land of fruit and plenty, especially if you were inclined towards software and computers...however that's still fairly true still

when the economy collapsed in 08 they were old enough to have the experience to make them keepers and not old enough to can to save on pensions and retirement benefits or wages

gen x is born in the right time, the right place, and they're generally the last american generation to have it better than their parents.

i think scot understands most of this, or at least agrees with some of it so he's not that bad. nimrod thinks he's fuckin john galt.

is there some sort of citation for this info

it's demonstrably false so, no.

Yeah all of our parents hated each other and just stayed together for the kids. Now they're getting divorced after being together for 20-30+ years.

Maybe that's just my parents though.

n=1 is the best sample size

How Divorce Affected an Entire Generation

Generation X was raised in an environment where divorce was more rampant that at any other time in our nation’s history. That fact alone has shaped and molded an entire generation of children raised in “broken homes” and “step families.”

Indeed, divorce rates peaked in this country as we were coming of age. Divorce became socially acceptable and a common part of our everyday lives.

In fact, the often-cited statistic that half of all marriages end in divorce was true only in the 1970s—in other words, their parents' marriages. -

FATALITY

please elaborate. according to your chart its hovered around 50% for 3 decades. not just in the 70s

yes that is my point. catherine wheel was the one saying otherwise.
