This isn’t accurate at all. The recruiters are all about the high scoring students. There are plenty of low scoring kids, but there are a lot of jobs in the military that require exceptional aptitude, so the recruiters are all over those kids.

vivadanang ,

Recruiters will be all over the entire spectrum. For every 2 uber-nerdy signal corps goobs, we need 4 light wheel mechanics, 3 light infantrymen, 12 combat service/support roles, 4 POL types, 3 french hens, about 3/4ths of a chemical-corps-tester-er-tech, the list goes on and on.

Franzia , (edited )

The problem is high scoring students have other opportunities and low scoring students are encouraged into this life choice by a society that is designed to convince them its their only option.

Furthermore, the school is giving a stranger a list of my grades without my consent…

I remember a stark difference between how the army recruiter ignored me my sophomore year and then called me out directly my junior year. My schools Vice Principal had literally pointed out students he thought would be worth the recruiters time, matching name to face.

We did get quite a bit of Wormy Chestnut from it. I knew a few people in the mountains of NC whose families got quite rich off the stuff, actually. No, not the wood stained like it, but the real stuff. (By the time I saw it used in construction as a kid, it was some of the first generations of chestnut that was recycled from older houses. I didn’t see the stuff till the mid-80’s, so the wood was already well aged.)

People have probably found ways to artificially make it by now, but wood from the original trees that were killed was beautiful when used by a good architect and designer.

BilboBargains ,

I wonder if the European species of chestnut are going to meet the same fate. For the past ten years every tree I see has signs of disease, by mid summer the leaves are becoming brown.

Edit: Since people seem to think I’m saying abating climate change causes fewer children, I’m not. Communication is not my strongpoint - but I have a B.B.A in Econ with an emphasis in Sustainable Supply Chains, and a Master’s in Quantitative Finance, so let me rephrase this. Countries that implement more policies to fight climate change are typically populated by people who care and are educated about climate change, who are also less likely to have more children due to the current path humanity is on.

Something vaguely related to this topic is the fact that countries with more laws designed to abate climate changing effects are also experiencing a slowdown in the rate with which they have children. Whereas many countries with relatively high birthrates generally do not have very strict climate standards. Overall levels of general education also play into this.

Tldr; Generally, the more people know about climate change, the less likely they are to have children.

bernieecclestoned ,

Correlation not causation etc

EditsHisComments ,

Right. There are many factors at play that lead to these outcomes, and there are always outliers

VikingHippie ,

Yeah and selling ice cream leads to shark attacks 🙄

Countries with a well-educated population care more about the future of the planet and well-educated people have fewer kids. There’s no “climate childlessness” like you seem to be implying.

EditsHisComments , (edited )

I didn’t say they are experiencing these slowdowns because of abatement policies, like you said with shark attacks and ice cream. Read my edit. I think I’m being misunderstood, and I don’t think I clearly communicated what I was trying to. Your second paragraph literally summarized what I was trying to convey, which I thought I did in the tldr, but I’m better at numbers and graphs than I am with words lol.

Erika Rice Advice

WaltJRimmer , in Sacrifices are required for high grades
@WaltJRimmer@lemmy.world avatar

While I’m not quite that blunt, I do tend to take a utilitarian approach to institutions. When I went to school, I went there to attend classes, learn, work, the like. When I went to a job, I went there to work. I don’t really know how to approach people; the few times I’ve tried I’ve only made people uncomfortable, and mostly I just sit on my own and focus on what I’m “supposed” to be doing.

This left me burning out with depression and failing out of university, unable to find a job and being some kind of unhirable that I don’t know why or how to fix as I’ve spent three years looking for anything that will hire me with no takers, and I have absolutely no friends. I’m a man in my thirties with almost no work experience, no marketable skills, no connections, living off the kindness of family, and just ever-growing gaps in an almost empty resume.

Don’t be like that triceratops. And for the love of fuck, don’t be like me!

Moc OP , (edited )

Hey mate I know what if feels like to be a bit like that. What did you major in?

WaltJRimmer ,
@WaltJRimmer@lemmy.world avatar

I have got to stop oversharing. I just deleted a three-paragraph explanation of shit you didn’t ask for. Sorry abut that. Anyway, it was a BS in Mathematics.

Moc OP , (edited )

Career wise, I’d focus on something mathematics-adjacent. How were your grades? If they weren’t excellent, I’d think you could pivot into software engineering or data science. I make a fair amount of money WFH doing software engineering and it’s great for my mental health.

It sounds to me like you also need to work on your motivation, confidence, and mindset. You need some wins. Even small ones would probably help a lot.

What helped me climb out of my rut was hitting the gym regularly. I held myself to going once per week, and it became an addictive habit. The fact that I was able to hold myself to going three times a week for several months on end at some point really increased my motivation.

Hahaha! Uh, they weren’t great for a combination of factors, especially in my last year when I failed Real Analysis. Twice…

I’ve tried coding. Not very good at it. Scripting can be fun, but I’m just really, really crap at it. Took the 101/102 classes for CS as one of my science requirements. I actually took 101 twice because I had taken it in community college first and the credit didn’t transfer. Three CS classes, never finished a final project. I couldn’t ever get them close to working for some reason. Like, I got a C or better as a final grade without ever turning in a final project in each class, but still. My practical application of software engineering is, well, impractical.

As it is, a portfolio and networking (heh) tend to be the most important that I’ve heard from a lot of people when it comes to software engineering. I’ve tried to dabble, currently trying to battle my depression enough to actually work on making a point-and-click game in Adventure Games Studio. And my progress is just… Abysmal.

Moc OP ,

Idk how it is in the United States but I’m in Australia, and I got my first WFH job out of uni by making a clone of a compound interest calculator in React. If you struggle with a lot of the harder parts of coding, you could probably still eek out a good living as a front end developer.

Moc OP ,

Look man, at the end of the day nobody can help you but yourself. You’ve got to make the decision to change your life. It doesn’t have to be anything dramatic at first— literally holding yourself to a good habit once a week may be enough to eventually create meaningful change in your life.

Acters ,

You did well. Work on fluffing up. marketing skills even for things that may seem strange to talk about. Be more dramatic, but don’t lie. Don’t personalize. Instead, specialize yourself and stick with it. Don’t limit yourself to one job title or career path, and explore. Interview and ask questions. Learn to be curious, but don’t try to be an everything guy. Ask for help or try to offer help. See if you can start trading things or services, no matter how small, but get it in writing once it becomes large, expensive, or risky. Good luck
