>Konata: Kagami, I think university is a scam.>Kagami: You're saying that while you're still attending one?!>Konata: Hear me out. Every year, universities produce thousands of graduates with degrees for jobs occupied by people who won't retire for another forty years. Where are all these graduates supposed to go? Into a giant waiting room?>Kagami: People change jobs, companies expand, new positions open up>Konata: Sure, but take lawyers. Every year, new law graduates enter the market, but the lawyers already working aren't going anywhere. So the new graduates need internships to gain experience, but even the internships want experience. It's like a game where you need the achievement to unlock the achievement.>Kagami: That's a problem with employers, not universities!>Konata: Then why do universities keep advertising degrees like they're guaranteed job tickets? Look at Indeed! "Entry-level position, three years of experience required." That's not entry-level! That's a New Game Plus requirement!>Kagami: University is about more than getting a job, you know.>Konata: Then why does everyone panic about employment the moment they graduate? We spend four years grinding for a degree, and the reward is an unpaid internship. The loot table is terrible.>Kagami: I hate that you have a point.>Konata: I'm not saying education is useless. I'm saying the system is weird. We keep producing more graduates than the market can absorb, then blame the graduates for not being competitive enough.>Kagami: So what's your solution?>Konata: I don't know. I'm just trying to find a job on Indeed that doesn't require me to have already been employed for three years. Maybe I should just become a lawyer and wait for someone to die.>Kagami: KONATA!!>Konata:What? I'm thinking long-term!
>>85862026University IS a scam, but it's a scam that society as a whole bought into so you have no choice but to participate because the world operates on their standards.
>>85862034I know, but with how cheap ai agents have gotten small companies don't even hire that much interns nowadays, I was legit advised by one of them when I was handing out my resume and recommendation letter that I should just stop and try getting a masters degree because the old path for a desk job is long gone
Anyways it was fun using lucky stars characters as a mouthpiece for my opinions, and it's a great writing exercises.Maybe I should have been a humanities fag.

>>85862026>Chibiusa: Luna, do you think certain people shouldn't go to college?>Usagi: What's that supposed to mean?!>Chibiusa: You're the one who's assuming it means anything, stupid Usagi.>Usagi: ...I see how it is. The requirements in the future must have been too strict for you...>Chibiusa: [grrrrr]>Usagi: [grrrrr]>Luna: Actually, in the Silver Millennium, they were too strict for almost everybody.>Chibiusa & Usagi: Huh?!>Luna: To keep standards high and ensure a positive return on investment, college in the Moon Kingdom was very difficult. The colleges on this planet really leave a lot to be desired, by comparison.>Chibiusa & Usagi: [pointing to each other] You would never have been able to get in!>Luna: [facepaw]
>>85862026it does feel like lucky star
>>85862435I want to precise that this is a cool thread for once
>>85862026Wow an actually good thread. Thanks for making me laugh OP.
>>85862026I'm low-key starting to forget what I studied Employment or at least internship should be guaranteed post graduation, like straight up after your final finals I have no idea what the market demands and what is just theoretical bs, I'm going to have to revise literally everything if I've ever gotten that response after applying
>>85862026>Konata:What? I'm thinking long-term!Not bad OPNot bad at all Can you make more of these please? It must have taken you some time but maybe every now and then throw us a bone
