did you know that Americans are retarded
Pretty sure literacy is dropping everywhere kids have smartphones. So it's less Americans being retarded and more Americans making everybody retarded.
>>222948576Our high school leaving exams in 2026 were finished with an average of 59% in basic Polish, where 30% is enough to pass. It tests more or less for the same stuff you posted. 6% of people didn't get 30%.
>>222948576Not just Americans
>>222948576>>222949834How much worse will stats gets now that 10 year olds are using AI to do their homework?
I feel like I got the last chopper out of saigon finishing my doctorate in 2021 right before LLMs became commercially available. shortform content and scrolling social media was present but at least it didnt happen during my formative yearsI truly feel terrible for zoomers and the market they are entering
americans are losing the ability to read in general
>>222949922Did you actually manage to land a job you can keep?
>>222949974im a pharmacist in a grocery store. i make about 110k a year salaried for 32 hours a week (49 and 15 hour weeks alternating with my partner every 2 week pay period). ironically my dad who is also a pharmacist close to retirement tried to steer me away because he thought that the profession would be dead by the time i graduated because he thought amazon would take over with their pillpack mailorder business. 12 years later its more or less a failed venture by amazon and we are still seeing ~20% growth year over yearwe are projected to be one of the least affected jobs by AI (like most healthcare) and in my district we are chronically short staffed with pretty decent job openings with 20k 2 year sign on bonuses being unfilled. I feel pretty ok about my future as it stands
>>222950148I never knew how much money pharmacists make. Given that Americans are getting older and sicker as a whole you're probably in the right field.
