The biggest disadvantage of getting a Master’s is, when you end up working at a job, your bosses often turn out much younger than you are. You see, most often than not, they are incapable of managing anyone else but themselves. You figure, you can do a much better. Yet, since you’ve been spending your years getting a – at this point, useless- degree, you are working for them, instead of with them.
How unfair, isn’t it?
Your usual office gig isn't the only place younger people have flooded. Remember that alternative job I am doing? Most of the background actors I meet is often younger than me. And I will admit- I am not THAT old. The other day, when she found out that I had a master's, this 20 year old said "you must love school." Back in the day, when I was 20, I admired those who got a master's degree, not criticized them. But oh well. At this point, I need to start getting used to being old, don't I?
With the younger people in the workforce, the expectations in the maturity level got lower too. But I suppose, as long as the work gets done quickly, right?
It seems to me like all the temps are older, but permenants are younger. Could that observation be true? Anyone?
