    Are they? Or is it because everyone knows their efforts are not compensated properly?

    If you want people to not be lazy, pay them. You pay 10 dollars, you get 10 dollars of effort. Blindly labelling this as being lazy is quite a… hear this, a lazy way of thinking. Heh. Millions are studying in university to get a job, I would say that they are working really hard! But are their efforts reciprocated properly?

      Effort doesn’t mean shit. I can go to the street, pick a rock, and put back down, and redo that 100 times. That’s huge effort, but it isn’t worth shit. Value isn’t measured like this. People who only know how to do one thing anyone can do and don’t want to improve are lazy. No other label is appropriate. Make something needed that only a handful can do and you’ll be rich.

      And btw, learning in a college doesn’t qualify as working hard, and more importantly, learning in college isn’t a requirement for success. Your whole worldview needs shaking… I feel bad for this generation!

        Why don’t you tell that to the HR departments then? Oh I feel bad for your generation - when basic critical thinking doesn’t exist.

          I know plumbers who make $250k/year. They didn’t go to college.

          when basic critical thinking doesn’t exist

          When basic life experience doesn’t exist except for what you hear on facebook.

            I know plumbers who make $250k/year.

            And there are college graduates making 90k/yr in the US. That’s why I said efforts are not being compensated properly. The fact that other trades are earning more does not affect this conclusion, think about it more.

            Imagine basing your judgement on generational stereotypes. Oh no, millennials. Oh no, Gen Z. Oh no, it must be facebook. What other contributional points can you guys provide?

              Again, if you’re a failure in college, maybe college isn’t for you. However, unfortunately, college has become a placeholder for anyone who spent their teens with video games instead of planning their future. Everything you know about life is fucked up to the point where you think that it’s a rule of thumb that going to college must mean making more money. No, boy. Again, good plumbers make more than mediocre college graduates. Make a plan and stop following what your failed society has planned for you.
