It pays NOT to be on FACEBOOK

[usayit]

Try to teach that to all of them fancy book-learning college graduates looking to make $75k at an entry-level job.

A bit too much generalization? Depends on the background of the individual. But yeh.. students who paid their own way usually graduate with a healthy respect for hard work at any income level. I was taught that the worst thing you can do to a child is shelter them from hard work.... some parents do it "so they can focus on studies" but that often does more harm than good.

It is not that simple. If you get into a separation or divorce, lawyers will be scouring social media for anything that can be used against you in a settlement, even the most mundane postings and shots. The police in Canada yesterday have indicated that they scour social media for useful info.against protestors. Have you ever been in a protest: union or otherwise? If you get into a lawsuit, accident or otherwise, lawyers will be after social media information. If you are careful about what you post on social media, are you aware of what your kids post about themselves or you on their Facebook pages?

pathetic... WTF are you arguing about?

My response has nothing to do with your response..... I'm talking about an interview situation vs unemployment.

Sheesh.... all you like to do is arguing the must mundane facts.. no matter how insignificant... with little to no substance.

I don't care what you are talking about, start your own thread or hijack someone else's.

Start your own thread. Quit the hijacking.

Let's keep it on topic, guys. If you don't have anything more to contribute to the thread, just move on. 8 pages in; how much more is there to discuss? :razz:

I never generalized. I said "them", and then followed it up with "looking to make", which translated from Hick in English means "those graduates who are looking to make $75K." That is not a generalization, but is instead a specification.

Yes, now let us please get back on topic.
