Employment equals infantilization.

Bryan Creely, as a promotion for his job seeker consultancy, has posted an interesting video on YouTube, titled If Your Job Interviewer Asks You THIS, BEWARE!. The thing that jumped out at me is that virtually all the question types he enumerated is a question I would describe as “infantilizing.” Here’s a news bulletin, if you apply for a low status job, say a job in retail, the entire process is infantilization all the way down. I’m from working class stock and although I managed to graduate from college, I never succeeded at deciphering the college-level job market. I suspect that the American economy has been for some time producing college graduates at a much faster pace than it’s been creating “college-level” jobs, but I find myself scratching my head trying to figure out how one might rigorously test that hypothesis.
