C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!
I love you.
Hahahaha cracked me up!
Nice.
OP thread.
C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!(again)
Middle management and cubicle slave really aren’t that different, so you don’t miss by much.
This is why I went to college – to hopefully avoid wearing a paper hat and asking if you want fries with that. Over the weekend I saw a boss that was really nasty to me (years ago before I got a degree) – and he was a stocker in the back room at Walmart. At that point I wish I’d ordered something really heavy – and “oh can you take it out to my Mercedes???”
Just thought I’d share my schadenfreude win moment.
Schadenfreude is a win for everyone! The guy who terrorised me (physically and emotionally) for seven years of school is STILL, thirty years later, doing odd jobs just to pay the bills. Ha ha!
I have to wonder about the graph, though. If by 40 you’re a cube slave and still have dreams about a Fortune 500 CEO position, maybe you’ve got more ideals than actual ambition/drive.
WIN WIN WIN!!! That would make my day, and I bet it made yours!
It does make my day!! ALSO – I just found out my ex is in jail. WIN! Wow – maybe I should play the lotto…
Reality check: An AWFUL LOT of college students will also end up cubicle slaves/till jockeys. Maybe middle management if you’re lucky.
And a surprising amount become teachers, which depending on your standpoint is somewhere either far off the top, or the bottom of this chart.
I’m in a sort of wierd no-man’s land where my job is officially speaking office based, but is actually quite hands on and interesting. Dunno where that falls on here… certainly, doing night shifts at Walmart would be more lucrative, but they took one look at “college educated” and “early 20s” on my resume (after I got desperate enough for work to try, but before i learned to target-edit my applications) and slam dunked it in favour of some other guys who are just bright enough to get dressed and make it in on time, and offer *some* degree of customer service and shelf-stacking, but not so much that they get lippy with the managers or move on to another job if it starts to get too soul crushing…
before any of that, I wanted to be an astronaut
I wanted to be a fast food clerk, but I ended up being an astronaut

The maker of the graph seems like his hopes were crushed, I dont know about him, but I plan on finishing college and being successful, more so than just some salary worker, Im reaching for the top!
See ya at McDonalds!
My degree got me this awesome job as a cashier in Target. Yay economy!
omg!!!! mine too!!!!!
so.
true.
That’s exactly what I was imagining myself.
:’(/:’)
This graph is the embodiment (engraphment?) of WIN!
hmm apparently lots of people think that these are all the jobs there are.. kinda sad :/
I don’t know anyone with a cubicle job at 20. Walmart greeter at 50? Fail.
You’re right.. 50 is too young.
Well I guess we don’t know each other
I’m 23 now, but started this job at 20… Go, cubicle, go!
And, I’ve since been promoted from a role where I supported middle management to BEING middle-management (although I’m still in the same cube).
I was never a drive-through clerk, though, so hopefully the graph’s failure to match my past profession is a good sign that it’s not predicting my future professions!
My daughter started as a receptionist at a .com at 17, and now is the lead purchaser (cube slave and middle management as well) at 25. She makes enough to have bought a 2500 square foot home on 2 acres of land in a posh hood near Atlanta. Go cube!
It depends on what you do in your cube and how happy you are doing it. She never worked at any crap job.
Bleak!
How deluded must one be to think they’re going to be middle management at 20?
Hey, just because you might be an underachiever, doesn’t mean the rest of us are deluded =P
j/k, j/k.
Wait, is it just me, or is this graph the first in a 3 page repeat of front page graphs?
