Wouldn't 25 year olds still be in school for their doctorates though?

Yes, I think that's the point


they skew the numbers upwards.

"Chain migration" is how many people


myself included


get jobs.

I went to a very good school, and while I like to think the quality of education is what makes a school "good," let's be honest


the value is largely in your connections. Friend lands a good job, recommends you when there's an opening, and bam, you're already at the top of the pile of the CVs (better yet, they're the hiring manager).

Friends from school


peers and mentors alike


are a great place to start, if you can. Ask to grab a coffee and chat about their career, and be clear that you're in the market. Most people are happy to chat (at the very least, it's flattering).

It's the way the world works...

My hunch is that this is not restricted to TikTok...

I particularly like the truck/engine correction.

Costco focus on quality over quantity

...which sounds hilarious, given it's Costco! But I agree, at least in their stores (as in, they don't necessarily offer a huge variety of any particular items, but the one they have is


for my money


usually good quality).

One thing to keep in mind


the US is huge, both geographically and culturally. Flying from Los Angeles to Boston is further than London to Baghdad.

And likewise, the cultural "distance" between, say, New England or the Pacific Northwest and the deep south is extreme.

Of course there are things that affect (nearly) all Americans, but some context is important.

But this applies to the UK, Ireland, France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and...well...much of the world, if these data are to be trusted.

But "included" doesn't mean free. You still paid for it.
