career-holed

To choose a college major or enroll in a training program for a job field or profession that is desperate for applicants and is hiring like crazy but by the time you complete your education/training the market for your skill has become saturated and nobody is hiring.

Before I enrolled in college there was a shortage of electrical engineers,they were hiring like crazy and making top dollar.Four years later I have my degree but all the jobs have been filled.I just got career-holed .

West Career and Technical Academy

Faggot show full of Asians and people who got in but didn't deserve it and don't do their work. Most of us are suicidal, on drugs/alcohol and running on caffeine and energy drinks. The counselors suck and don't do their job (except 1) and then are surprised when we have a mental breakdown in the bathroom. The amount of homework and overall work that you get is so overwhelming that you want to kashoot yourself. Here you are either super athletic and in crossfit or you are the laziest piece of human flesh to ever walk the Earth and there is no in between. Most of the teachers suck and have no respect for the students and then get mad when we have no respect for them or others. There is a "No BuLlYiNg PoLiCy" but no prevention against it. School spirit is nonexistent and Dance Co is really good but the girls dances are sexualized.

Student 1: I go to West Career and Technical Academy and I have 5 failed suicide attempts because of it
Student 2: I'm failing 6 of my classes because teachers refuse to put my grades in

Career Veneer

The thin layer of potential for career advancement, increase in pay and future opportunities that an employer paints on your job to convince you that the future holds something more than you are currently experiencing.

I had my first year appraisal at the McDonalds today. They painted a bit of a career veneer over the last year.

career traitors

A popular nickname for the US State Department under the 45th POTUS, headed up by US Secretary of Snake, Mike Pompeo.

I’ve been working with these career traitors for so long that their behavior seems entirely all-American to me!

career victim

1) Noun; a person who keeps making very stupid decisions while at the same time lacking the prudence to learn from his or her mistakes, therefore doomed to make the same mistakes again and again.
Figuratively speaking, someone who fell down the "stupid tree" and hit every brach on the way down.

2) Noun; synonymous for con artist. A person who continues to engage in irresponsible/stupid behaviour and uses the consequences of such behaviour to make him-/herself "the victim" in order to gain pity or sympathy.

We do not wish to encourage career victims, nor do we wish to penalize customers who make the occassional mistake.
