[lbo-talk] Guy tried what Ehrenreich did in Nickel & Dimed, finds it's no problem, doesn't know what big deal is

[Percival Myers]

As others have pointed out, his youth etc. weighed in his favor. As
others have also questioned, the validity of at least some of his
claims are suspect.

Implied but not made clear, employers still benefited from his college
education even though it was concealed from them. I'm sure the youth
is articulate, engaging, and well-versed in manners and methods of
discourse that are not practiced on street corners or back alleys,
some of the more usual venues habituated by youths lacking the benefit
of his post-high school education.

I would add, we've all heard that the average age of the USA working
force is increasing as the boomer generation approaches retirement
age. Let's see him repeat his experiment as a 50+ white (or black or
hispanic) woman. Then we can see where he is in 10, 12 or even 24
months. I call dibs on sales of popcorn and other refreshments.
