I do not understand that cowskin reference

I believe what SVO says is probably correct. Most PhDs are going to be employees of companies in need of R&D or academics. The latter is not lucrative.

[Ruffdaddy]

I'm not going to waste time responding to all of SVOs straw mans and compulsive lies (lol at half your family having PhDs...). But here are the facts that are actually on topic.

Millenials are the most educated generation ever. You literally have to change your internal definition of educated for your opinions to start to make sense, but even at that you have no actual data. I'm certain youre wrong on all fronts.

Second, I don't even have a phd. I am an educated millenial with a masters...so I don't even have a vested interest in up selling a phd.

Most of my managers have had a masters, one had a PhD. The closer to research the role is, the more likely the manager will have a phd. While it's less common to have PhDs at the SVP and C level, those jobs are also outliers. I'm not talking about a data point of one to represent a whole generation...doing so is stupid.

What you are also too stupid to realize is that PhDs are nearly always specialists, so they are individual contributors. I also don't expect a pool boy to know that it is common for a technical expert to make more than his manager at a certain level.

You have absolutely no understanding of how the corporate world works, or how data works for that matter.

Only an uneducated person would fall for that....so I take it you're a history major or something and just salty that us millenials make more than You

Actually I am a millenial, born in '83. I went into the Air Force after high school, scored high on my asvab, and went into avionics sensors. Did that for 6 years and received an honorable discharge, then went to Saudi Arabia to do contract work for the RSAF. After that I came back stateside, went to work for a water company, then got into the oilfield for several years working on variable frequency drives and remote monitoring systems. Left that and got my current job working maintenance at a distribution center. Since high school my pay has ranged from $18k to over $100k per year, with several ups and downs due to job changes. I have an associates degree and have always had a job because I can fix things and learn pretty quick.

The millenials like me are doing fine. But there is a huge population of us that either don't complete college or do so with a useless degree, both having student loans. They buy cars they can't afford, use credit for everything, and even with degrees end up in retail or food service or some other job that requires no skills. They are moving back in with parents at record rates and make no advancement in life or careers and think it is someone else's fault. Fact is most millenials are not making more than I am, and they aren't better off in any measurable way that I can see. But you are correct that I am "salty" about all this, though it is because I see our once great society collapsing because my generation is comprised of 80% useless pussies who refuse to take personal responsibility.

Please show me exactly where I made a claim that Millenials are uneducated or where I made any straw man arguments.

I should have said that half of my family members who are alive at the moment have a Doctorates of some sort, one is an anthropologist who teaches skulls full of mush to be communist, one is an economist who owns a large company that manufactures and installs office furniture and partitions, one is a MD, and one is an engineer for FoMoCo. Both of my grandmothers and one grandfather had a PHD also but they are all dead. One grandma had a hers in Education, one in mathematics (she worked as an engineer and taught), and my grandfather had his in economics. Another grandfather had a JD but I do not know if that counts as a real Doctorate,

I am not too stupid to know that most PHDs in the working world work on a team doing research. I simply have contempt for those people whom I believe are most frequently genius idiots.

This pool boy has the same level of education as you but it is in a different field than yours since I gather that you work in CS. What I do can not be outsourced to India so get off of your high horse.

I have an acute understanding of how the corporate world works which is why I chose not to work in it. Have you heard the saying "I would rather rule in Hell than serve in Heaven"? Now go lick your bosses ass and beg for a pay raise.
