if they had just pursued a degree in pet play instead of whatever they majored in, they wouldn't have anything to complain about.

[–] NaibofTabr 78 points 5 months ago (1 children)

would that be... a pedigree?

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 9 points 5 months ago

Absolutely! lmao

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 14 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Wait, you need a DEGREE for that?

Am... am I in trouble? Do I have to pay a fine?

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 5 months ago

You just need to go to doggy school

[–] rem26_art@fedia.io 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Officer!? This one right here!

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 2 points 5 months ago

Nooo, I'll behave, I promise 😭 !

Oh shit, didn't even notice it's a dog bowl, I thought it was a commentary on not being able to affort better food.

Also, we're not buying the OnlyFans

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 50 points 5 months ago (1 children)

well now you have a degree and some mac and smack in a cool bowl.

id say things are on the way up.

[–] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 30 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Looks like a dog bowl. If you're giving dogs Mac and cheese, I'm not sure where that puts you on the socioeconomic ladder.

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

What are you saying dogs aren't cool? Plus you gotta be like, rich to have a dog or something.

[–] missingno@fedia.io 35 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I got my degree eight years ago and still haven't been able to use it. Every job opening that claims to be entry level actually wants five years of experience in something that came out two years ago.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 35 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Just say you have five. Clearly no one's checking.

[–] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

If you do, use the Circuit City/Toys R Us trick. Pick an out of business company for your CV so they can’t check references.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

As someone who actually worked at a radio shack towards the end, but got fired cause I'm not big into backing down and one of the old heads didn't like me cause I moved fast. Not a physical fight, just a verbal confrontation.

Like John, my brother in Christ. You weren't getting commissions for like a year before I even started!

But I kept the name tag for poops and laughs.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 5 months ago

Definitely no giggles!

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I am once again reminded I am unable to see a picture of mac and cheese and not prepare it for myself immediately. Thank you.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Alright, Mr. Moneybags. No need to gloat.

Puppymode: ON 🐶

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 13 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Not gunna lie. Cheap ass Mac and cheese with some actual butter(assuming you have that much) is like way up there in the on the "ACCEPTABLE" chart for me. I sometimes throw in a can of Rotel and/or some cheap chorizo for a little taste of home.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I make ramen like this, drain the water, add butter, seasoning pack, and sriracha. So good.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 2 points 5 months ago

Sounds like something I'm going to experiment with today!

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Is butter that expensive in the US? Where I live it's only a bit more than margarine.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 6 points 5 months ago

Not really. But if people are complaining about eating out a dog bowl, their situation may be worse than ours. I know I used vegetable oil before in college. It's serviceable, but don't recommend it

[–] HalifaxJones@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

My fancy boxed mac n cheese mix is mixing the powder sauce with smoked Gouda and Parmesan. Real butter. Mixing it into the cooked pasta. Then adding sauted brussel sprouts and some parsley onto it.

[–] Lushed_Lungfish@lemmy.ca 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I have a degree and a six figure salary. I like KD.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 5 points 5 months ago

Yeah, but you hopefully feed your dog something better

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 7 points 5 months ago

Not in cooking, apparently.

[–] Credibly_Human@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

This is just some fetish shit.

Ain't nothing wrong with someone educated enjoying being a pet

Bit weird to share it with the whole internet tho

[–] tiramichu@sh.itjust.works 6 points 5 months ago

Bad puppy! Get that bowl off the couch and down on the floor 💢

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)
[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago (3 children)

Does it matter? The US graduated over 2 million people with bachelor’s degrees in spring of 2025. How are all those people supposed to find jobs?

[–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 5 months ago

The important thing is they're all up to their eyeballs in debt. Teamwork makes the dream work.

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Yes, why wouldn't it matter? Do you think economies maintain demand for every conceivable degree equally, year after year?

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 10 points 5 months ago (2 children)

My implied claim here is that there are more people graduating with degrees in every major than the economy can fill jobs for in any of them. Youth unemployment is rising! Trying to find a job is really difficult and even degrees once thought “safe” (such as CS) have stingy employers who think AI will replace the need for training fresh graduates.

You might think “oh that’s fine, people who studied other subjects won’t care about CS people.” But if those CS grads can’t get CS jobs they’ll look for other jobs, increasing competition in other fields. This can have a domino effect throughout the youth job market.

Of course it matters, some degrees are in way higher demand than others

Information Security and Computer Science double major

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

The person in the image does?

EDIT: I found their profile and can't unsee a lot of things now.

[–] osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lmao, it was a cold read but the IT sector cannot escape the Transfem and/or Femboy and/or Furry allegations for a well documented reason.

[–] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 5 points 5 months ago

peeks my head out

🐺 🖥️

[–] 1985MustangCobra@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 months ago

im not even gunna ask why they are eating out of a dog bowl.....

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Was the degree in Culinary Arts?

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

More like Macaroni Farts!
