<p>I guess that you don’t spend any time on the diet/exercise thread.</p>
<p>I’ve posted pictures of myself there.</p>
<p>You can see if I’m 18 or not.</p>
<p>Would you dare to post pictures of yourself here?</p>
<p>Since BC has “corrected” me in post 32 about job requirements, it makes me think perhaps I am a poor reader, but I thought I read this statement in the Op about experience required for employment: " The job listings these days are full of unpaid internships,” she said. “Aside from unpaid internships and temp gigs … all of the other listings demand seven to 10 years of experience that no new grad has.” If I was wrong, show me where, and I will apologize. But if I was right, and gave an opinion based on what the original post said, then I will be an expecting an apology. Fair?
I can only speculate why BC posted so many job requirements in post 32 that contradict the young woman’s statement. I gave an opinion about the woman in the article that was complaining about her job prospects. It is my opinion that I have little sympathy because she chose a job that requires a min of 7 yrs experience(according to her) yet whines she can’t find immediate employment.
In post 17, BC asked me if I read the help wanted ads before I picked my major. I answered the question about reasonableness broadly, when I mentioned the big factor the article subject didn’t do well.
But since you pointed out I didn’t answer the question, evidently you think it important for readers here to know how I selected my major. Did I look in want ads? No. I chose it based on what career I thought I wanted, attended 2 yrs(did all the gen ed stuff) then had a serious change in family circumstance and had to quit to find a job. Happy now with my answer? Does it make this thread better somehow?
Now, you please tell me BC, what relevence my choice not to look at want ads has to do with my opinion about a student that is complaining about getting no work in a job where according to the Op she wouldn’t be qualified[yet] to do anyway?</p>
<p>Let’s say I’m 25, and join the Army because I want to be a Captain in the Paratroops. I pass the physical, I successfully complete basic training, then want to be made a Captain. No? I find out more training and time is required than I guessed when I joined. It isn’t the Army’s fault, it isn’t society’s, no one suddenly changed the rules on me. It’s my fault for not looking into the requirements before I joined. Or put another way, I should look before I leap.</p>
<p>If you have a problem with what I write, please quote what I wrote. I don’t care to chase strawman arguments.</p>

<p>I don’t think I need to say more.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Clearly.</p>
<p>You seem to have trouble making a rational point.</p>
<p>I don’t blame you younghoss. He already pointed one poster in the direction of his photo and taunted her tp post her photo. It’s pretty creepy.</p>
<p>Really? This is the parent’s forum?</p>
<p>It was in response to various childish posts that claimed that I was 18 years old.</p>
<p>Of course some post that they are so out of here but just can’t resist.</p>
<p>BC and others, could you please conduct your private bickering via PM? You’ve again managed to completely hijack this thread and annoy the other readers/contributors.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>I’m always happy to do so.</p>
<br>
<br>
<p>Well, it is my thread. I was happy to discuss the topic at hand before getting personally attacked over a typo. I’m sure that you know how it is.</p>
