Going to college, gamble on whether itll be worth the debt. Getting a job, gamble on whether the industry survives. Buying a house, gamble on rates and prices. Even dating feels like a gamble with the apps lol. It feels like previous generations had more stable paths and we just have to make bets on uncertain outcomes for everything. Is this just perception or did things actually get less predictable

A Rainbet ad would've been hilarious here

Its funny because actual betting on outcomes is becoming more mainstream too. Like kalshi lets you trade on fed decisions and economic stuff. The line between regular life planning and gambling is getting blurry.
Because companies make more money that way. and governments arent regulating shit (especially in the US)
Well, because society is in the toilet these days, that's why everything feels unstable and a gamble now.
Yes, everything is a gamble now. Pick your battles wisely.
Everything has always been a gamble
Economically: the US financiarized itself out of a stable economy: labor value and industry are now marginal, what counts is stock markets.
For dating: because the US atomized itself out of social trust, and remplaced them with quick, strategic thinking.
I think globalization and technology made everything more connected which means more variables affecting outcomes. Your parents probably had more local and predictable environments
Going to college and getting a job has always been a gamble. Because you really have no clue if you like the field until you’re actually working in it. You could love cars with all your heart and learn how to fix them, but end up hating working in a shop.
It really does feel like the ground shifts more often these days, doesn't it. That sense of needing to make significant decisions without a clear roadmap, especially when it comes to careers and financial stability, is something a lot of people are grappling with. It's not just a perception; the global landscape has definitely introduced more variables and made many traditional paths seem less certain. One way to navigate this isn't necessarily by finding a 'stable' path in the traditional sense, but by building resilience and adaptability, and by understanding where the opportunities are in this evolving environment. Sometimes, focusing on skills that are transferable across different industries, or looking into remote roles that offer a bit more flexibility and access to a wider market, can help mitigate some of that uncertainty. If you're exploring different job opportunities, especially remote, online, or on-site roles across various sectors, you might find something useful on Mercor. It’s designed to help you find fits based on your skills and preferences. God bless.
