NEET: Not in Education, Employment or Training. It's too late to fix this, but...
The lament of a Christian young man between a Millennial and a GenZ:
"I can't use my degree in a helping profession, which supposedly needed more men, because it went woke. Now, I'm on my fourth career. I have been passed over for multiple positions because I was a man instead of a woman. The people who passed me over admitted to it.
