Gen Y Tech Savvy, But Not Interested in a Career
jcatcw writes "Young people aren't choosing computer science majors because they take technology for granted — it's something to use not something to make a career. "By and large, this generation is very fluent with technology and with a networked world," according to James Ware, executive producer at The Work Design Collaborative LLC, a Berkeley, Calif., consortium exploring workplace values and the future of the workforce. That future may be in managing technology, which requires skills today's college students don't have: writing, critical thinking, hard work and just plain showing up. One of their primary concerns is a flexible schedule and healthy work/life balance."
MUST... NOT... FEED... THE... TROLLS...
Oh fuck it. Look, boss, lazy has absolutely NOTHING to do with it. In the third world countries you're outsourcing this shitwork to, you can feed a family of ten for two dollars, rent a house for fifty bucks a month, and ride anywhere for a dime.
It's not that Americans don't want to do the work, it's that we can't afford to live on the starvation wages you cheapassed bastards pay.
Asshole. My only consolation is knowing you'll burn in hell.

mcgrew's razor: Never attribute to stupidity that which can be explained by greedy self-interest
Critical and logical thinking ceased to exist many decades ago. "If it feels good, it must be true" is the way people think these days.
Modded flamebait, predictably enough. I guess I should have also mentioned that hysterical kneejerk responses are also par for the course in our brave new world.
I posited that Americans can't AFFORD to work for 3rd world wages and that's flamebait? And linked a 1st hand account of a third world country as an explanation of what it's like in one and it's 50% flamebait and 50% troll? Who's moderating today, PHBs and Indian call center workers? Or just people who hate Americans?
Pretty weak bait, nobody flamed me. Oh wait, I get it, it was the "burn in hell" and the link to the Bible that was flamebait. If so, then THANK YOU for your insightful, interesting moderation. You athiests are the most fanatical of all religious people. You should also know that the Bible says you athiests are NOT going to burn in hell! I'd link the chapter and verse but as I don't want to get into a religious war. Hell, maybe it wasn''t athiests but Capitalist mammon worshipers who pretend to be Christians who moderated?
I don't care, mod this one too. =P

re:"The world is not out there to conform to your lifestyle"
This is why you're a slave. I have my own business. It conforms to whatever I fucking want. You're a sad pathetic wretch. Please don't tell me you're breeding as well. That would be sad.
