A democracy is a government in the hands of men of low birth, no property, and unskilled labor.
— Aristotle

That aptly sums up university jobs today – even more so than it sums up general, white collar employment – being Jewish overrides any other “protected class” that an applicant has. And, they’re not going to hire a Jew unless they absolutely have to. Doing so would go against their purpose.
Oh, and don’t believe anything that comes out of these indoctrination camps about how they’re eliminating DEI hiring practices. That is just performative Taqiyya. All that’s happening is that the universities – much like other companies who claim that they’re abandoning DEI – are taking their antisemitism and general bigotry and oikophobia underground, so as to make it harder for Americans to seek redress through peaceful means.

Democrats To Working Class Don’t Worry! We Got Your Back
Sadly, this is how the majority of Democrat politicians have the Working Class’s back. Despite what they claim and how much and often Dems protest that they’re on the side of the Working Class, the vast majority of their political actions have been aimed at ripping the spines from them and destroying any chance that they might have of advancement.
If these Dems aren’t trying to tax businesses and business owners to the point that they either close up or move overseas, they’re trying to regulate them out of existence for the sake of Climate Change. And, in these degenerate times, they’re adding their #Woke agenda to the mix too.
Yeah, the Dems got your back… but only in the sense that they want you too beaten down and spineless to remove them from office and any positions of authority and/or consequence.

Showing that you would fit in with the corporate culture of the company you’re interviewing with is at least as important as convincing them you have what job-specific skills that they’re looking for. And, oh yeah, that certainly sounds like the right answer if one was trying to work for Frito-Lay.
NOTE: This advice is specific to an interview. In order for HR and/or Recruiting to pass your resume on to reach that point in the hiring process in these times the most important thing is to NOT put White and/or Male in that “Voluntary” self-identification questionnaire.

Your life choices matter, and the first major life choice people make largely for themselves is the choice between going to college or entering the workforce. It’s the choice than will financially decide their future more often than not. And, frankly, a lot of young people have been indoctrinated into making that choice without any real thought.
4-Year Degree vs. Skilled Trades
OK, to start with, this chart seems off to me in its details, though the premise is sound. The average debt accrued for a baccalaureate is $32,000 – $59,000, not $90,000. I also, if we’re going for numbers which are both more conservative and, IMHO, much closely matching “Blue Collar” salaries across the US, I’d set the starting salaries in the $12 – $18/hour range.
As I said though, the premise is still sound. Having earned $117,060 – $150,500 over 4 years is a lot better than having earned nothing and having accrued $32,000 – $59,000 that you will, presumably, have to repay at some point. The tradesman, after 4 years is $149,060 – $209,500 ahead of the college graduate in total earnings and on his or her to establishing a life.
And, BTW, that college graduate most likely won’t catch up anytime soon. The average salary for someone with a 4-year degree is $69,368 compared to the tradesman’s $64,770, but for an average of 20 years that graduate will be loosing on average $2,880/year in loan payments, bringing his or her effective income to $66,490, a meager $1720 more than the tradesman. That means it will take well over 50 years before the graduate “catches up” to the total earnings of the tradesman. This is literally more than the span of time – 40 – 50 years – most Americans work.
And remember, these numbers and predictions are based upon my believed-to-be-corrected and lowered numbers. If the chart is closer to being correct than I am, for either debt accrued or salaries, it’s even worse for the college graduate, who could be almost $315,000 in total earnings behind the tradesman.

Honestly, people need to make informed life choices instead of blindly following the government’s propaganda that has pushed getting a college degree as the primary and preferred, if not only, means of being successful since at least as far back as the early 1960s.

Netflix, already reeling from the effects of their choosing to side with Biden in his war, has just updated their corporate culture memo for the first time in nearly five years. In the update the streamers warns the woke in their ranks to chill or leave.
The updated Netflix Culture memo includes a new anti-censorship section called “Artistic Expression,” that warns that the streamer will not “censor specific artists or voices” even if certain employees consider the content to be to“harmful” to one of more specially privileged classes.
If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you.

As employees we support the principle that Netflix offers a diversity of stories, even if we find some titles counter to our own personal values. Depending on your role, you may need to work on titles you perceive to be harmful. If you’d find it hard to support our content breadth, Netflix may not be the best place for you.
It seems that Netflix’s leadership understand that “Get Woke, Go Broke” is real and they’ve decided that they’re not going to be the ones who are going to go broke by allowing their employees to “pre-cancel” speech that they hate.
