Chapter 97

Calmly observing the scene in front of him with cold eyes, four words suddenly emerged from the bottom of Carter's heart:
Winter is coming!

Today's Atlanta is almost the same as King's Landing in the future "A Song of Ice and Fire".The surface is still full of flower beds, and the bright and beautiful people are still singing and dancing.

And in the northern corner that people rarely notice, darkness is approaching quietly.The economic winter brought about by the currency contraction is also approaching this bustling city step by step.

The increase in the number of homeless people made Carter feel a little stuck.It's not that he feels sorry for or loves the homeless people in the United States, but that he feels an unspeakable pressure.

As Julian had told himself earlier, the currency contraction was just getting started, not even slightly.Just a small snowflake falling, and one or two night watchmen rushing into King's Landing with the news that the ghoul is about to be revived, it has already created the situation in front of it.

Carter didn't dare to think about what it would be like when the real winter came in the future.
"Carter? Carter?! What are you thinking? You were so preoccupied that I told you several times that you didn't hear it."

"Ah? What's the matter?"

Carter came back to his senses as the sleeves were pulled by Likris.The slightly frowned brow disappeared, and his face quickly returned to the previous indifference.

"We would like to ask you, what advice do you have for our work after graduation. Do you think we should come to Atlanta? Or go further afield, such as New York, Los Angeles?"

Although she was a little annoyed that Carter didn't listen to her and others' conversation at all, Likliss still kept a sweet smile, as if she didn't know this at all, and asked a little seriously.

"It's the same everywhere."

Just thinking about the possible unemployment wave next year, Carter subconsciously replied when he heard a question about work.

The economic trend of currency contraction will not only target Atlanta or Georgia. As I said before, this thing is an absolute map gun!In this environment, it doesn't work at all if you go to New York or Los Angeles.

Atlanta hired fewer workers, so wouldn't New York and Los Angeles not?And it's not that Carter looks down on them, after graduating from high school, you're hard to get along in Atlanta, let alone New York.

The issue of academic qualifications will not only appear in China in the future, but also in the United States.In America these days, everyone says New York is good, and everyone runs to New York.
When there are more people in New York, the book must be opened.Even high-income people like Julian, who are already considered to be successful in their careers, are now in full swing, and they are still working during the holidays. How about you?

Can you work harder, work harder, or have more knowledge than their gang of paper kings?

"Well, what do you mean we should stay in Douglas?"

Li Kelisi was a little puzzled when she heard the words. Normally speaking, shouldn't it be that the more developed the economy, the larger the metropolitan area, the more job opportunities, and the more beneficial to the future development of individuals?It's the same everywhere.
"I didn't say anything like this. Where you go in the future is your own choice. Only you have the right to decide your life. I just want to say that you are not very lucky. It should be difficult to find a job next year. If you have the conditions , I personally recommend that you go to college. Even if you have a loan, it’s better than not going to school!”

Carter spread his hands, and after thinking for a while, he decided to reveal some news to these young people who were about to leave school.

Meeting by chance, Carter has no bad intentions.Plus, they were really unlucky.
Even if he had graduated a year earlier, like Anna, in the summer of 79, he would not have hit the beginning of the unemployment wave head-on.

"Entry into a university. Even if it is a good university that is relatively cheap, the tuition fee will cost more than [-] US dollars a year. This is too exaggerated!"

Upon hearing Carter's suggestion, a boy immediately shook his head and waved his hands again and again:

"In addition to tuition fees, there are some miscellaneous fees, plus living expenses. At least [-] yuan a year, which is higher than my dad's annual income. They can't afford me, and I have younger brothers and sisters, If you take out a loan, the income of more than [-] US dollars a month after graduation is less than [-] US dollars to repay the loan. I don’t know if the interest is enough to pay such a small amount of money, which is too scary!”

"Yeah, it's too bad to go to college. You spend so much money to study, but the reward you can get is no different from not studying, so why waste the money. It's hard to find a job, just find it slowly. We can still wait a few months."

The boy's words immediately aroused echoes, and Carter could understand this.Not to mention the United States, there used to be some young people in China who said that "university is useless".

Universities in China are subsidized by the government, which is affordable for most families, but in the United States, going to college is really a luxury, or a gamble.A gamble on the future!
Except for some paper kings who can get full scholarships or bursaries, ordinary families simply cannot afford the cost of their children going to college.Take Harvard University as an example. In 1840, the annual tuition fee of Harvard University was US$75. Doesn’t it sound like a lot?But the per capita annual income was only $90 at that time!To provide for a child to study means that 83% of a father's annual income has to be spent on tuition.And this ratio is still increasing year by year. Up to now, the proportion of tuition fees in income has already exceeded 90%, or even 95%.

Note that this is annual income, not average annual disposable income.And, the most important thing, this has to be a family above the middle class, average. Everything is afraid of being average
In addition to this more data-based example, let’s take a look at a certain Guanhai brother. The student loan of this Guanhai brother graduated from 22 years old until he was 43 years old. It's hard to pay off the mortgage.

With such high tuition fees, nearly [-]% of Elmonds do not have the option of university in their life plans.As for the remaining [-]% of the people, they are either peerless paper kings who go for the scholarships and bursaries provided by the university, or they have a relatively fat family and go to a prestigious university with an average annual tuition fee of more than [-] to [-] yuan. The last one was cheaper, and the state university with more than [-] can still afford it.

Except for these two types of people, other people can go to work to earn money after finishing high school.Then fall in love, get married, and then have crazy cubs and wander around.
"It's up to you, I still say that, your life is up to you to decide."

Carter nodded understandingly, but he didn't mean to come up with an American version of persuasion.Don't persuade others to be kind without suffering from others, and Carter is not a person who "why not eat minced meat".

If there is no blow from the failure of the previous business, maybe Carter would have a few more words of persuasion.For example, after graduating from college, although the starting salary seems to be no different from not graduating, after graduating from college, the future development is much better than not graduating, and promotion and salary increase are not a dream.
But now, no need!Not everyone's life has to be vigorous, and successful struggles are certainly enviable and jealous, and their past experiences can also be admired and yearned for, but there is nothing wrong with being a flat monster, isn't it?

What's more, struggling may not necessarily succeed, but as long as you lie flat enough, it must be easy
