    I’m on the cusp of the change between Gen Z and Millennial and I’m with you in this. When I graduated college and got my bachelor’s, I envisioned a life where I’d live in a big city, go do some interesting work, and in my off time I’d be able to finally afford to travel. Explore the world. Meet interesting people and do interesting things. But, I was quickly humbled.

    I had to fight, I mean literally FIGHT for my current job for a year. No matter what I did, I couldn’t get one since I had no experience and no one wants a college graduate. Now that I have one, I sit about 6 to 7 hours a day in front of a computer. I’m having lower back problems and the lack of exercise is giving me gut problems. I can’t afford to live my own so I can forget about traveling. And, now, my contract is nearing its end so I might not even have a job soon.

    This was the world we were handed and, now that I’ve experienced it, I’m looking forward to the day everything goes haywire and we start all over again.

    I think something this momental would make it so that the world won’t allow us to forget even if the news does. Think about it. Imagine the fallout that would follow finding out that we’re not alone in the universe, that there’s something out there way smarter than us and have been in contact with our government. How did contact the government? How long have they been in contact? Are they here already? People would probably go a little bit crazy initially. Doomsday peppers would stock up, like what happened during covid, religious fanatics would probably go haywire because what if aliens had something to do with shaping religion? Then there’s the scientific stuff. How are they comminicating? How can the government keep contact? There’d probably be people calling the government into question because how can they hide something so momental from is for however long they have? Then the other governments of the world to. What would they say? Would they be contact to? Would they start fighting because they’re not in contact and want to be? I think the world would go crazy enough that’d we’d feel the effects for a while and definately longer than until Halloween.

    Well I would be one of the writers and a game designer. Contributing designs to the overall design. I know by myself I’m doing a lot of things wrong so bouncing ideas and coding off of others would help immensely. If I had the capital I’d love to pay people but until then I don’t expect anyone to join and I don’t want anyone to join until I can pay what they deserve.

    The thing is pretty much all employers want a minimum of 3+ years of experience for a beginner role. They want experience for a job but how are we supposed to get experience without a job? You say you want to give people a chance but would you really? Or would you rather have an unpaid intern who would then be thrown in a pot of other former interns who are all hoping for a job so we can finally pay off student loans and live?

    I ain’t blaming you personally, I’m blaming everyone who hires people. Unless I kill myself, give up my entire life to meeting your unrealistic expectations of having 10 years while being 9 years old, and be willing to be working for a non-livable wage, or if my dad owns the company, yeah I’m not putting too much stock in people like you.

    I’m not attacking you, I’m just venting my frustration.
