Should service academies only have STEM degrees? I mean, as a tax payer why should I fund some tard at USAFA getting a B.S. in Philosophy? A lot of college is bullshit. But who told Millennials to go to college or they won’t be anything in life and not obtain a good paying job? Boomers. Oh yeah, let’s talk about the Ivy’s. There’s a reason why those rich and famous parents weren’t cheating their kid into the Comp Sci program at the U of Nebraska. Because those STEM grads have a vastly less change to make it into the Bay Area big money MAANG world compared to Ivy grads. Stop acting like a STEM degree is a ticket to a big payout career. We’re now shifting to where a bachelors is the equivalent of a high school diploma and a graduate degree is now the equivalent of a bachelors. Plenty of Millennials are crushing life right now. Part of it is what you’d said, hard work. Another part of it is being born into privilege of rich boomer parents and getting opportunities that those poorer would’ve never had.

Whenever boomers bitch about forgiving any student loans, I remind them I guess I shouldn’t pay 100% into SSA when I won’t be able to receive 100% SSA due to them. Oh yeah, 99% of jobs don’t have pensions anymore either. But hey, at least boomers will be able to buy that third vacation home.

I’m a PM for a bunch of engineers. Why am I the PM? Because I don’t have weaponized autism and I have a social science undergrad and STEM grad degree. Do you want to live in a world with all STEM majors? I sure as shit don’t. I also don’t want to live in a world full of philosophy majors. The worst pilots I ever flew with were STEM majors. Why? They’re too analytical and a lot of the time that doesn’t translate over to flying skill. Best pilots I flew with? Business/History majors.

By millennial parents, you mean boomers? How do I know? I'm 40, a millennial, and my parents are boomers. College loans are already forgiven if you attain 100% VA disability, which would require national service via the military.

You ever stop and think that a lot of Millennials can't afford to start a family early and own property? Probably not. Curious what qualifies as a non-useless degree?

Some states/cities will reimburse owners if they install a level 2 charger at home as well.

I left banking with USAA in 2019 for Navy Fed. They’ve been outstanding. I still have USAA for insurance due to them being the cheapest for me for the coverage and been flawless for claims I’ve filed in 21 years of membership.

Friend of mine is their Chief Boom.

They just announced their -46 version. However, not all of the watch works due to multiple FCIFs.

Really interesting podcast interview with financier Bill Browder on Putin. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/stay-tuned-with-preet/id1265845136?i=1000558237592

Socialism is also a political theory.

You first, but I can already assume what you had. What qualifies me to make that statement? Someone who had Nav commanders and Pilot commanders and spent 16 years in the MAF. I was a -135 Boom, but that really doesn’t matter. I also currently work on the KC-46 program and interact with the MAF on a daily basis.

AMC at least has shed a majority of Nav commanders, which is a good thing.

Yes

You’re literally offering something to someone hoping for a positive outcome in your favor. That’s literally the definition of a bribe.

It’s not uncommon in the MAF to have downgrades on a Q-1. Stupidest Form 8 I ever saw was from my Sq/CC at the -135 FTU. He gave some initial qual pilot student four downgrades and four commendables on a instrument sim check, as a Q-1. I would’ve just called it a day with a Q-1 and verbally debriefed it. The back of the Form 8 looked like a book chapter.

What was the whole video context before that propaganda site edited their hot take and took his comment out of context?

I posted a job with my company on here awhile back. Some O-5 type, who most likely has been in the Air Force in some capacity since he was 18, stated that the salary looked a little low (Colorado state law states you have to provide a salary range on all job postings). I laughed because I was curious what he would know what was a competitive salary compared to the position since he’s been in the military a majority of his life? I agree about moving straight into leadership/management roles. Maybe with 20+ years of experience and an Ivy League school on their resume, maybe.

That’s because when I don’t hire you, I don’t need to provide you a reason. We just “decided to move forward with other applicants.” If you want to sue, good luck.

Unofficially, ageism does exist. This is especially apparent in tech.

A lot of FGO/SNCOs eat humble pie when they realize they have delusions of grandeur of how much they’re “worth,” salary wise, when they get out .
