I never said they were lazy, but they are because being a paralegal making $20 an hour is "beneath" them. That would require working for a living which they wont do which makes them lazy.
Getting drunk in college was all that was important, and since a career didn't fall in their laps they got screwed.
"You expect me to work a blue color job?" Ill stay in school until my 40's to avoid that. BTW aren't those all filled by Mexicans?
I think you need to watch a little less FoxNews. Many of my peers graduated college to only minimum wage, blue collar jobs available. That's literally all there was. Communications majors, marketing, business administration, physics, mathematics, etc. No one was hiring any of them. I know many former classmates who had no other choice but to go back to school so they could afford their student loan debt. These people didn't have mama's teet to live off of. Their parents were poor, they got scholarships, but the system let them down. The baby boomers hosed them. And now, these same people, whose only job experiences include these non-skilled jobs, are complaining that minimum wage isn't high enough.
So, you get mad at these people for not taking minimum wage blue collar jobs during the recession but then tell them that they should quit trying to live off those jobs?
College Grad: There aren't any jobs in my field.
Old Republicans: Go get a job working with your hands
College Grad: But it's only minimum wage, I couldn't ever afford to pay my student loans
Old Republicans: So, you're too good for them?
College Grad: No. I'll do it, but it'll never prepare me to work in my field and I can't live on it forever. Can you raise minimum wage?
Old Republicans: No, these jobs are meant for High School kids. Maybe you should quit trying to mooch off the system and get a real job.
