it used to be for those who can afford it
so obviously, those who can't afford it...
can't afford it
so they take loans, to get the money that the rich people already had
offering degrees that could be trade jobs or straight up are useless
remember when becoming an artist meant either figuring shit out for your own, or helping an actual artist?
an apprenticeship
now they are like "40,000 please" and you STILL end up needing to do most of the shit on your own or finding someone to understudy
well thats the thing
students are told "you pay, you get a degree, and then people want you to work for them"
it should actually be "You pay, you then get to work for your degree under some semblance of guidance, and then you have to find someone that is willing to pay you to work for them"
but that doesn't sound as inviting 😉
also, they're told every degree is worth as much
a degree in knitting, is equal to a degree in particle physics
and ofc its easier to say "society/the government screwed me" rather than "I made an oopsie"
i went to college with a plan and i made sure that even during the recession that the field i was aiming for was growing
most people don't it seems
no plan, no research
so did i
I went to college in a STEM field specifically, to ensure i will always be required in society
a bunch of high school kids who though the real world was still 4 years away
so my 4 years of college was me just being annoyed at still needing to do school work instead of working full time.
😄
also this
the jobs i could get, where like "you can't work more hours while going to school full time even if you want time"
pissed me off.
😛
Never understood the people who went to my school, who could only afford a Honda Civic, yet found the money to put like 20k worth of performance mods in and still couldn't afford textbooks.
Talk about priorities.
its the oldest story in the book
"I smoke, i buy an iphone every year, and i get a new car every 2-3 years"
"I'm also broke"
No, you just want more money cuz you're shit at saving
Im glad theyre not calling it a tax tho... coz thats not what taxes are for.... even tho... its kind of a tax...
you want company flight?
Cuz this is how you get company flight
from cali? .. yes...
there is too much power in one tiny area of that state
its not about the power
they'll just move one state over, and cause the entire income of the original state to collapse
like how Tim reported in that thing about New York missing 2.8 billion in taxes due to rich people bailing
another bunch will spring up in cali... theyll be fine
nah
