The whole world has gone fucking crazy!

  1. I am a veteran.
  2. I have a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a 3.75 out of 4.00 GPA.

And everyone wants to use asinine assessment tests to gatekeep me out of a job. I already jumped through four fucking years of hoops, spent tens of thousands of dollars, gave up tens of thousands of dollars via opportunity costs (I could have been working a job during that time).

And if I don’t complete their test I don’t get the job and the person with a GED or High School diploma who does complete it gets the job. They only want compliance and the abilty to utterly control you.

    What does being a veteran have to do with most jobs? If it doesn’t matter for the job, why would they need to ask questions?

    Sounds like you just want/need a handout since you are a veteran, life doesn’t work that way, plenty of other people paid their way to get their degrees instead of being paid by the government to get one as well. So what makes you deserve the job more?

        Pointing out their follies in their logic is being a dick? How are they supposed to get perspective if everyone just ignores the elephant in the room? Gotta deal with the root of the issue before even addressing what goes forward. Even without the test they likely wouldn’t be hired if this is their attitude. Being a veteran means nothing to 99% of jobs, and if it’s not relevant they aren’t gonna ask follow up questions. Literally that simple.

        Buddy wants a handout since they are a veteran and are saying they are better than other people just for that single reason.
