[–]Doctor_Who_Gifs 4 points5 points ago

I have good study habits for tests that matter, but some people freak out open note history quizzes that are worth maybe 5% of our grade combined, and I'm just like what?

[–]Lyalpha 6 points7 points ago

I'm just learning that a 3.0 GPA and a Bs in Physics is worthless. Being of average achievement in a difficult subject means I can't get a job in that subject and I'm overqualified for anything less. It's okay, I didn't need that $200,000.

[–]ndchristie 18 points19 points ago

a 4.0 would be equally worthless. get some work experience - an internship, contracting, or whatever. a resume is what they want, not a report card.

p.s. you're probably not overqualified for anything. mcdonalds and ruby tuesdays hire college grads all the time, no matter how smart they think their field of study sounds.

[–]NWCJ 12 points13 points ago

This, I love hiring people who think they are overqualified. They think they are so much better then the rest of the employees. Then I can witness the moment when reality sets in and they realize that they spent a lot of money on a piece of paper that means nothing other then the fact that they know how to study. Having a physics degree doesn't make you "overqualified" to be a waiter or run a cash-register. You will still need the same on the job training as everyone else.

Being "qualified" for one high-paying job in an academic sense doesn't make you overqualified for anything. Regardless of how much less it pays.

[–]cefriano 4 points5 points ago

Being overqualified is a real thing and people don't get jobs because a recruiter thinks another applicant's skill set means they will stick around longer. Probably doesn't happen too much at McDonalds because I imagine that they don't really give a shit about their employee retention, but being overqualified for a job is something that can actually prevent you from getting a job.

[–]funnynickname 2 points3 points ago

I had a group interview at UPS once. First question was a very casual "Is anyone in college, or a recent graduate?" 2 of us raised our hands. "Please leave, we're not interested in people in college or recent graduates."

truestory.jpg

[–]NWCJ 1 point2 points ago

Again this factors into two things, retention potential and how much they think you will ask to get paid. In a group interview setting you are expendable so they would rather just cut you then deal with you.

Yes that sucks, but again.. Has nothing to do with you being so qualified that UPS would get angry because you are just too damn good at your jobs.

Overqualified means just that.. You have to much experience for the paygrade. For example, my grandfather was a policeman for 27 years, and the chief of police for 7. That's 34 years of law enforcement experience, when he retired he started going stir-crazy because he wanted something to do so he tried to get a job at a local security company to be a "rent-a-cop" so he can get paid to basically walk around all day and stay active. He ran into an issue though, he had more RELEVANT EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE FIELD then everybody at the company, even the managers/trainers/owners. So they wouldn't hire him, because they felt like he would instinctively overstep his duties because he is used to doing so much more because he was overqualified.

[–]funnynickname 1 point2 points ago

That's a rare case of actually being overqualified. Most of us are discriminated against because as soon as we find a better job, we're gone, in their minds, when the reality is, we'd stay if the job was decent and the people were nice.

You're right, two very different things.

[–]NWCJ 0 points1 point ago

You're confusing over-qualification with retention potential, while being "qualified" for better paying jobs can factor into it, retention potential is the issue you are addressing.

I have seen people get turned down jobs because they are in the military(illegal yes, but it happens), because they are pregnant, or because they are minors. Why? Military can be deployed at any time and is a hassle for companies, pregnancy will be taking time off and possibly quitting on delivery, minor because parents may make them quit to focus on academics/kids typically jump jobs or leave them upon graduation. Has nothing to do with being too good at the job(if truly overqualified this would be the case).

It has to do with how long you may stick around. Some companies cannot afford/don't want to train new individuals all the time.

[–]cefriano 0 points1 point ago

I'm not confusing anything. Being "overqualified" is one of the factors that many employers see as damaging to someone's retention potential. It's not arrogance, it's just the word people use for it. I'm sorry if it rubs you the wrong way, but it is a real word that has a specific meaning within the context of the job market, and you shouldn't lambast people for being arrogant for using it. Should someone not apply to a position because they think they're overqualified? Probably not, if they need work. Can someone be less likely to obtain a position because they are overqualified? Absolutely.

[–]NWCJ 0 points1 point ago

Sigh.. You obviously didn't read the comment to the other person who replied. I am well aware that overqualified is a true thing. I just believe you are misusing it in thinking that a degree in an unrelated field makes you overqualified for anything. I will copy and paste my example from the other reply I suppose.

"Overqualified means just that.. You have too much experience for the paygrade. For example, my grandfather was a policeman for 27 years, and the chief of police for 7. That's 34 years of law enforcement experience, when he retired he started going stir-crazy because he wanted something to do so he tried to get a job at a local security company to be a "rent-a-cop" so he can get paid to basically walk around all day and stay active.

So they wouldn't hire him, because they felt like he would instinctively overstep his duties because he is used to doing so much more because he was overqualified."

TDLR: Unrelated degree will not make you overqualified, too much related experience will.. Overqualified is not meant to be a blanket term to boost the ego of everyone who cannot get a job.

[–]fertehlulz 2 points3 points ago

Im glad somebody said it

[–]GrouchoPiddington 1 point2 points ago

A physics (or any major really) grad working alongside the barely literate skudge balls and high schoolers that I usually have to deal with at McDonalds.... clearly they are interchangeable.

[–]NWCJ 0 points1 point ago

If they were both unemployed and McDonalds offered them both jobs then they are indeed.

You meet one of the following molds I assume.

  1. You have never been poor or desperate for an income .

  2. You are still a "kid" by age or not and are financially supported by someone else

  3. College student who doesn't want to believe that the "real world"(place of full-time jobs and independence) is not a kind one.

When I first got out of the military I took a job at a local tech center not because it paid what I thought I was worth or even what I could easily make if I had just held out for a few more months. I did this because I had no choice, bills were piling up and no one else was going to pay them for me. This job paid $10/hr and was mainly community college students, and kids out of highschool. But among them all was a man with his Masters in Architecture. And I can confidently say he was not even the "best" employee working there from the companies point a view.

TDLR: People are interchangeable as long as they meet a minimum requirement, they don't cap off somewhere and say "sorry your too smart, send in the next person on your way out please"

[–]pariahkite 0 points1 point ago

I never recommend "hire" for people who think they are over qualified. It is just a waste of time for the hiring company and the other people in the department who were probably hoping for an extra hand and instead has to put up with the new employee's bullshit moans.

But I have taken a chance with some people who were slightly over qualified but looked like he had the enthusiasm for the work and whom I thought we could get some value in whatever minimum time he spends in the company/department.

[–]Lyalpha 0 points1 point ago

Oh I would lie about my degree. Despite how desperate I am for work, employers still think that someone with a degree is going to get a job offer next month and leave. I guarantee that wont happen.

[–]Lyalpha 0 points1 point ago

I would take any job in a restaurant and never complain. Mostly because of how grateful I'd be. When I say overqualified, it's not out of arrogance. It's just the fact that they won't hire me if they think I'll leave in a month.

[–]Lyalpha 0 points1 point ago

I can't get work anywhere. None of my professors want my help and I've been rejected for every internship I've ever applied too. No one wants to hire someone with my grades. It's too late to get them any higher.

Also, any job I apply to is going to take the ones with experience. Need a job to get experience, need experience to get a job. Over 50 applications last year with no call backs or interviews. I'm going to try tutoring or something.

[–]raymendx -2 points-1 points ago

[–]Hyperian 2 points3 points ago

[–]Hyperian 7 points8 points ago

i still remember when i can learn everything that i need in HS just by paying attention in class...

[–]electricmice 2 points3 points ago

high school ruined you because it was made for retards. i cruised through my education all the way up til uni and then got a huge rude awakening.

[–]Bilibond 0 points1 point ago

Yupp. And it wasn't like I was just in regular classes, I did this in advanced and AP classes. I later learned that PSEO would have been a much easier route than AP...

[–]electricmice 0 points1 point ago

hindsight is 2020 bro. back then i thought going first tier college was everything. what i should've done is take the local college's classes for free through HS and graduate the college in 2 years and then get a masters at a first tier. AP is particularly tough because they give you an insane amount of homework. the college class itself is easier than AP.

[–]fuzzy335 4 points5 points ago

This gave me A's & B's in Highschool & Community College and B's, C's & D's at a University

[–]tummybox 5 points6 points ago

I should have done my generals at community college and given myself a head start. :(

[–]Fvel 2 points3 points ago

Much less expensive, too. So nice.

[–]inormallyjustlurkbut 1 point2 points ago

I wish everyone realized this. A full semester at a community college is often cheaper than a single class at a university. I fell for the "college experience" bullshit when I was 18, and I wasted a shitton of money before flunking out at the end of my freshman year.

I started going to a community college a few years later, and I was able to get all of my core credits out of the way without having to take out a single loan. I'm about to graduate from university with less than half the debt of most of my classmates.

[–]tummybox 0 points1 point ago

Wonder if that looks bad for students going into medical school though? =/

[–]Bilibond 0 points1 point ago

Same. Then I found out my Uni doesn't transfer GPA's... goodbye 3.8

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

Worked straight through grad school for me. Only had a couple classes ever where if I actually attended class I had to study outside of it.

3 engineering degrees later and out of school, and my ability to test well will be completely worthless for the rest of my life...

[–]Bilibond 1 point2 points ago

I am both envious of you and sad for you.

His British accent is so strong it comes through the gif.

[–]Vasistas 16 points17 points ago

[–]cawncawn -1 points0 points ago

Yea, I have no idea who that is and I still attached a British accent to it.

[–]Engineer3227 4 points5 points ago

What's worse is when the teacher is passing back quizzes and it's at that point you realize that there must have been a pop quiz on that one day you missed last week.

[–]GundamWang 1 point2 points ago

This happened to me. Thank god it was just an elective class that had nothing to do with my major. But...it was the midterm. I thought it was later in the week. It wasn't. I walked in, ready to learn, and suddenly everyone clears their desks and the professor starts handing out the midterm. My god damn heart nearly exploded out of my chest.

I failed that class.

[–]spyxero 1 point2 points ago

i have done this twice. First time? still got above an 80%. (fuckin drama class, wtf did everyone else acutally spend so much time studying?) second time? 68% I believe. Lucked out in high school and had a teacher teach us his first years psych class from university. turns out I remembered something (this was ~3 years later.)

[–]john_nyc 1 point2 points ago

picture it 1996./..history of marketing ...my senior year of college..first day back after going home for thanksgiving. Sure the syllabus said midterm but she never mentioned it in class. Of course I had skipped 50% of the classes up til that point because the teacher was a moron. Everyone had notebooks out, blue books were stacked up front, and I was like hey what's going on? Test was 5 essay questions - select 3. I was in class for 1 and just bullshitted the other two -- 88% bitches! Just proves how much of a moron my teacher was.

[–]Gracen 0 points1 point ago

Oh man, reminds me of the time I showed up 20 minutes late to my Linear Algebra class during an exam I didn't know about. I went into full-blown panic mode and went at that thing like a beast on speed. Not only was I the first one done, I aced it.
