I am so glad I got two college degrees simultaneously and was then overworked by the private sector so badly I had a mental breakdown and was then misdiagnosed for years and can now never enter the workforce in my given field due to missing half a decade of work.
Now I get to be told by literal, actually illiterate morons to focus on my grindset and have a positive outlook, whilst browsing through ghost (fake) job applications that all have 200 applicants and a 4 month interview process.
... I'd been saying the average American has a 6th or 7th grade reading level.
Now it looks like I gotta knock that down to 5th or 6th grade reading level.
EDIT: Somehow this does not exist in this thread yet:
When I designed store fixtures, the assembly instructions had to be written at a 3rd grade reading level, and even then were barely followed.
To me, this is the genius of Ikea instructions.
No words. None.
Just numbers.
Legos for adults.
If you cannot figure out how to assemble Ikea furniture, you're too stupid to be trusted... basically at all, with any responsibility for anything, imo.
