college grad would rather stay unemployed, turning down 40k a year job

Over the last five months, only one job materialized. After several interviews, the Hanover Insurance Group in nearby Worcester offered to hire him as an associate claims adjuster, at $40,000 a year. But even before the formal offer, Mr. Nicholson had decided not to take the job.

Rather than waste early years in dead-end work, he reasoned, he would hold out for a corporate position that would draw on his college training and put him, as he sees it, on the bottom rungs of a career ladder.

what a fucking waste of space he's become.
 
I saw that, and used in on the other message board to mock republitools crying about the economy. Only a rich kid turns down 40K as being beneth him. This faggot whines about his parents maybe not funding his European vacation.
 
he may be very intelligent, just very spoiled. He prob thinks he deserves a mid managers job that would put him in the hamptons. It's all his dad's fault by the way, for raising a gaylord.
 
Yes, you neocon libertarian tools keep blaming the victims of globalization, like the fascist little bots you've become. There's no jobs problem, there's a sissy problem.

You are the new anti-americans.

He's a victim of his own decision, not of globalization. At least not individually. I understand that the job market itself is a result of globalization and outsourcing, but being offered a reasonably well-paying job just after college doesn't make him a "victim" of that. Others are, but this guy is just a victim of making poor choices.

I don't know about that. He seems to have it A-OK with his parents footing the bill for his existence. I think it goes to show that providing for every need of your adult children is not necessarily good parenting.
 
I don't know; I'm not inclined to cast some sort of sweeping judgment on this based on the limited info presented. First, he's a kid. Second, it's the kind of story you might see in the background of a Ted Turner or Bill Gates, or any self-made guy who refused to compromise.

Not saying this guy will turn out that way (probably not likely), but if it works out for him, it's the kind of decision that would be praised in hindsight.

I'm sure that means that their college education didn't help them much either.
 
wonder if his dad would adopt a 50yr old. LOL

I'd have to have surgery to remove my lower leg from Junior's ass.
My kids are spoiled rotten but would never dream of pulling this shit.

And globalization. And he may be right in holding out to stay on the career path of his choice. You libertarians get an ounce of security and then all the sudden its kicking down ladders and destroying dreams and justifying overseas slave labor. You're the worst kind of enemies because you wave the flag most proudly.
 
There is no way I would consider my 24 year old son living in my house a "successful" job at parenting. He can choose not to work if he wishes, but he needs to find his own life unless he's continuing with school. At least at my house he does...

He must face the consequences of his own choices. (If it were my house he must... but apparently there are people who think differently.)
 
When it says college grad I assume it means recent college grad? And like Onceler said it's hard to judge without more info... is this person living off of money they previously made or are they just sitting at home living off of mom and dad? Kind of need to see the whole article to render judgment.
