So I mentioned to my dad how low the salaries in my country are, mentioning a government job I found online at an agency that regulates food safety. @dungeondragon
The salary is $411 at that job.
He immediately tells me "the salary doesn't matter, that job opens so many doors! You'd get "connections", you'd be able to open a food business with no corrupt people or bandits/mafias to bother you!"
I, on the other hand, think that this is total bullshit. I think this is some boomer way of thinking that might've been true long ago, but isn't anymore.
Connections? Seriously? As some lowly worker for the government?
Idk, maybe he's right. But I'm 100% sure that as an introverted loner I wouldn't get any sort of useful connections or whatever. Sure, I could try to be as sociable and nice as possible, but I don't think pure willpower can overcome a lifetime of being introverted.
Fucking boomer, that's how he is about everything. This worldview of his matches perfectly with another piece of advice he gave me: "Just go out to a cafe and talk to girls, you'll find plenty!". Fucking seriously dude? Shit, it's that easy, huh? That's why I'm a virgin at 27?
Fucking delusional boomers.
