I say wayyy to many people in this country make wayy to much money for jobs that's arnt worth it. in turn they blow that money on worthless shit they don't need. mexcains are about the only people left that work for a living. but they send all their money back home.
You say that like price and demand has no bearing on wages. Can you do my job? Nope? That means I am infinitely more valuable than you at my job.

Holy shit I had no idea the federal reserve was a private organization. I wonder if everything they claim is true.

Everything in the first video is true. The fed is a private, for profit corp mostly owned by a small group of wealthy American and European families. The IRS is also a private for profit corp owned by the fed.

I didn't watch all of the second one, but it seems to be on track.

your one of the few people that add anything worth while to this country then. sucks that the jobs that need done can be done shitty and no one cares or it doesn't matter.... that's another sign of what a shit hole this place really is.





the IT field is highly over rated and over paid. there are things that we need much more and have more of an impact on our lifes if it goes down than come computer bs and they don't get paid half as much... its bullshit.


IT fags get paid way more than fire fighters. how much bullshit is that?

Firefighters are like policemen, teachers, and enlisted military. Any dumb fuck can (and does) do the job. Price and demand, thats why they arent paid shit. Heard the phrase "Those who cant, teach"?

I don't think you want to go down this road with me.

The IT field is not over rated and due to this economy it is UNDER paid. You should 1st walk a mile on this shoes before you comment on what you don't know.

The world as we know it, would come to a sudden halt without the current networks that are in place.

They support your phones, your cell phones, your Internet, your banks, your supermarkets, soon TV, etc, etc... to go back to the way it used to be would be monumental under taking and expense now that fiber (light) is on par or cheaper than copper.

Not to mention the fact that we have to continue to learn and gain experience when new technologies come out every quarter. The stuff I learned and mastered on last years HW will soon be obsolete.

The companies know this and have started sending our jobs overseas to cheaper less experienced workers, and we'll not go into having to understand one of those fuckers when we need their help... been there lately? I'm sure most here have experienced that shity ass service.

To add insult to injury the jobs that they are not sending overseas have ridiculous requirements. The want a single person to be to manage switches, routers, Intel, Sun @ hardware levels as well as be proficient with Databases (weather SQL or Oracle), IIS, Unix, Windows & the latests VMWare and pay them 40-50K? Are you fucking kidding me?

The real problem are the assholes making the decisions, the asshole getting million $ bonuses every year regardless of the companies profitability, and the other fuck heads that are retiring or coming to the end of their 5 year contracts as CEO or other upper management jobs they hold and get their fucking retirement fund as a sign off bonus... fucking golden parachutes whoring bastards.

Now how many $50k jobs can does assholes afford, or better yet, LAID OFF so they can get their golden parachutes while IT is doing all the work they take credit for?

You left out: security expert, programmer, web designer, network engineer, manager, customer service rep, telecom vendor, phone system guru... (I could go on) and they expect it done on a shoestring budget.

And that my friend is why you are where you are in life. I'm not saying your dumb, just ignorant. IT is in the top ten of most important jobs on the planet.

Firefighting is a respectable thing to do, but the skill level required is incomparable. Almost anyone can quickly learn how to extinguish a fire and give CPR.

I'm not going to go as far as diminish firefighters. There is extensive training involved there and the will to go in obvious dangerous situations. I certainly can't do their job any better than they can do mine.
