seem to be constantly running into people in a situation like me....
I have a job, but I have not had a raise since 2007
That what many of us are going through. We get to keep our jobs and let inflation take bites out of it as time passes by, just being thankful we are employed.
Depends on where you are and what industry. Around here people complain about $10,000 annual bonus and only 3% annual raises. In the IT industry in the Seattle area even people who get fired from jobs find another one, often better paying, in a matter of days.
Seems in the state I live in a rise in part time/temp job's, but a decrease in full time job's. Think it is cheaper for employers to hire part time over full time.

That is unique to the west coast it industry (driven by California's opposition to noncompetes).
If I were fired by my employer Monday, I would be banned from working the same work for any other employer in Missouri or Illinois for 12 months. Our state Supreme Court has upheld blanket clauses like is for up to 24 months. The kicker is that my employer also requires us to inform them every time we apply for work somewhere else, and had a local ordinance passed making this a legal requirement.
Big liberal thinking and vision for the country, yet ironically they are the 1st to run to a city like Baltimore and tout " racial and economic injustices".
Hate to break the reality to you, but 70% of these "supposedly high skilled jobs" don't require degrees. They never really did. Its the enslavement of the working class through debit. Kids are getting degrees and up to their eyeballs in loans while making peanuts at some I.T job that pays 40k a year.
That's the problem right now.
If you think an IT job pays only $40k a year, you probably just awaken from a deep coma you endured in 1995.

Why are so many conservatives against college education?

All agencies will pay your student loan. If you stay there uninterrupted for 10 straight years and deal with frozen wages, furloughs, and site moves (or live in DC).
Of course, the tricky part is getting your security clearance in the first place which requires either military or selling your soul to a contractor for a few years.

Feeling a little foolish right now, don't you? What am I saying? of course not, you are going to figure out some way to spin it so you'd be right in your mind.
