Coquettish Rebirth

"Huaxia Hi-Tech is going to recruit people widely in our city. It is said that they can't find a job within three months after being unemployed, and college students who have just graduated are given priority!" Such news quickly spread in various states in the United States.Such a news is amazing!Especially for a veteran like Fran Neeley, he was even more surprised!This veteran named Fran was a man who fought in the Vietnam War.Logically speaking, after he became a soldier, it was not up to him to decide whether to go to Vietnam to fight and kill people!Now that he is a soldier, obedience to orders is the first priority. The officer above asked him to go to Vietnam. Could he still say no?When he arrived in Vietnam, no matter whether it was murder or arson, he also obeyed the order, and then returned to China after the truce. How could it be difficult for him to find a job?

Later, if his former boss hadn't introduced him to work as a defense contractor outsourced by the Ministry of Defense, but after such a position was canceled this year and such a business was transferred to Blackwater, this veteran Fran would lose his job all of a sudden!Not to mention that he lost his job. His old boss’s old boss had already reached the rank of colonel before retiring from the army. After retiring from the army, he used a friend in the Pentagon as a contractor to contract the defense outsourced by the Ministry of Defense—to put it bluntly This man is Fran's real boss.As a result, after the Ministry of National Defense transferred such a business to Blackwater, let alone Fran lost his job, even the former colonel of the boss was also unemployed!

It seemed that it would be okay to be unemployed, but the problem was that Franna was already in his early 50s at this time!People in their early 50s are not very easy to find a job in China—a lot of jobs require people under the age of 35. Who has ever seen a person in his 50s still applying for a job as a clerk in a private company?But from another point of view, it is not difficult to find a job in China when you are over 50 years old.Or work as a salesperson in a chain supermarket near some community, this is all possible!Even more, there are cleaning in hospitals, or cleaning in large supermarkets. This is an exclusive job for middle-aged and elderly people with no culture and skills. Generally, young people will not find this kind of job to do it. of.

And these jobs are very rare in the United States!why?Because it has been difficult for young people in the United States to find a job for many years!Although the service industry in the United States is very developed.However, their industry has been slowly transferred out over the years, and the local area has begun to become financialized, which has led to the fact that young people rarely study science and engineering.Science and engineering are the most likely to generate a large number of jobs!As a result, these industrial jobs have disappeared, and young people are studying all kinds of messy majors. How can they find jobs after they come out?So many young people have found jobs in various fast food restaurants, but in the fast food restaurants in the United States, there are no middle-aged aunts who specialize in picking up all kinds of after-meal garbage and cleaning up like in China!If you eat fast food in the United States, you have to throw the garbage into the trash can after eating!

Moreover, looking for a job here in the United States requires a lot of experience!If to do one line.If you don't have previous relevant experience, it's really hard to find a job!In China, although some positions also require experience, the requirements are definitely not as strict as those in the United States!In the United States, there are many positions that do not require any experience, and job seekers are required to have experience. Isn't this nonsense?So for various reasons, Fran really didn't have a job for half a year!And since he didn't work for half a year, his savings had already been used up, and the bank had already urged him to pay back the money.Otherwise, the house will be closed!And this old Fran, for the sake of his two children going to college.Also paid for the children's college tuition!This is a lot of money going out!

That's right!Don't listen to what many Chinese chicken soup articles say that American college students will not rely on their parents after the age of 18, nonsense!There are college students who don’t need any money from their families when they go to college, but that’s not something they can afford by working and studying!If the family can support it, it is usually the family that supports the tuition money!In the United States, prestigious schools like UCLA are still public.The annual tuition fee for in-state students is 1.8 US dollars a year, and then the tuition fee for out-of-state students is 4 US dollars a year!This $4 a year of tuition is worth 80% of the median income of a family of four in the United States!Is this what an 18-year-old can afford?If the same price is placed in China, it is equivalent to parents working as dual-career workers. One person earns a salary of more than 2000 yuan and less than 5 yuan. After a year, the income of the couple is only more than 4 yuan.This still does not include all kinds of food and drink expenses, and then the child's school expenses will cost [-] yuan a year. Who can afford it?

Therefore, families with better conditions can afford the tuition fees for their children to go to school. Many middle-class families save money for their children to set up a fund for their children's college expenses after their children are born!And those who are relatively poor, they really can’t save money at home, so they can only let their children go to school by their own efforts. I really think this is the initiative of American families to train their children?There's nothing they can do!All kinds of education expenses in the United States are in a mess, and textbooks are also expensive. If children of poor families want to go to school, they can only take loans.And this loan is different from China. In China, there is no interest repayment on student loans for two years after graduation, and you can start repaying after two years.At the same time, the cost of schooling in China is still relatively cheap. According to the general level, the tuition fee for a child is about 5000 a year, plus the dormitory accommodation fee of about 1200 a year, which is only more than 6000. After four years, the tuition fee That is more than 24000.After the student loan, it is really not difficult to start repaying after two years of graduation!

But it is different here in the United States. The loan here starts from the first day of the loan, and then the interest will start to be calculated!Although there is no need to pay back when you are in school, the interest has been accumulating!So it is no exaggeration for many people to borrow 10,000 to [-] U.S. dollars or even more than [-] U.S. dollars after graduation!Even if it is small, there is still a debt of [-] to [-]!At this time, it is difficult to find a job. After graduation, the child can only go to McDonald's to work. The money earned from the part-time job cannot support himself, so he can only live in the basement of his parents' house. This is not a lifetime. Got a loan?This is not an exaggeration. McDonald’s has posted a financial plan on its employees’ internal website, suggesting that employees find a way to take another part-time job when working for McDonald’s, because McDonald’s knows how much money it gives employees. Can't support myself!

Fran used to be relatively rich, and loved his children more. He adopted the same method as those of the upper-middle class in the United States. Parents paid for their children's tuition, and the children worked part-time at school to earn living expenses and pocket money.The children also work harder. Every summer vacation, they go out to find various jobs, so there is really little time to play.The money earned by working hard during a summer or winter vacation, plus the money earned from part-time jobs during school, is almost enough for the children's usual school expenses!But now that Fran himself is unemployed, it is even more impossible to pay the tuition fees for his children!Don't even talk about taking care of the child, he can hardly even take care of himself now!If it weren't for the current real estate market downturn, a large number of subprime mortgage defaults have caused many houses on the market to be auctioned and house prices have dropped, otherwise the bank would not have been urging Fran to pay the loan quickly—a few years ago, the bank The house was confiscated and put up for auction!Now that the bank knows that the house is not easy to sell even if it is accepted, it is better to give Fran some space and continue to "extort" the repayment from Fran!

At this time, Fran is really willing to work for McDonald's KFC, but the problem is that McDonald's KFC doesn't even like him!Because there are still a large number of various graduates looking for jobs!Here in the United States, there are not only students who graduated from various serious universities, but also students who graduated from community colleges like Caoji University, and they also have to find jobs!Aren't these people looking for jobs just looking for various waiters or working in various restaurants?So, Fran, who is in his 50s, is facing competition from a group of people who are two or three years older than his son. It is really difficult!He is old, and he is not familiar with things like computers, let alone the operation of high-tech computer ordering machines, which is not as fast as young people accept!The most terrible thing is that he is old, and his ability to accept new things in a short period of time and memory ability are not as good as children.As a result, after receiving a day's training, the children can basically work on the job. Although there are some stumbling blocks, they will be smooth after the day!

But he is different as an old man. After one day of training, he has to have someone to help him the next day. It can be said that during the peak meal time, his side is the most hindering overall progress. Others give ten people When it comes to ordering a good meal, he can't even finish it alone!Just like that, can a fast food restaurant want him?So even if he works in a fast food restaurant, he can only apply for a job in the back kitchen!There is no way to cash in the front or something!And working in the back kitchen, there are all kinds of students and young people competing!So at this time, he was really miserable!And at such a time, he actually heard that Huaxia Hi-Tech is prioritizing the recruitment of the elderly. Doesn't this make him feel like a pie in the sky?

He knows such a company as Huaxia Hi-Tech!Isn't it the manufacturer of the sphone he uses now?Isn't it a leading website for online shopping?Although he doesn't know how to use computers or shop online, it doesn't mean he hasn't heard of it!In the past, he had some opinions on this Chinese company. He always thought that the Chinese would maliciously try to steal some American technology from them, but now when he heard that Huaxia Hi-Tech was going to give priority to recruiting these elderly people who were still unemployed, he suddenly I just want to sing carols to Huaxia Hi-Tech's trademark!He simply felt that Huaxia Hi-Tech was an angel photographed by God to save all living beings!
