Well thanks for stroking my dick micro but let’s not forget i come from privilege. Yea i grew up poor and had kind of a rough time for a while but there were endless safety nets for me if i decided to stray. I never utilized it though - for that i’m super proud of. But even just knowing you have those kind of nets lets you take risks or do things you normally wouldnt. I also gamed the system pretty hard.
Gman, unfortunately i was/am kind of one of those people. But my thing is - i KNEW why i was going to school. It wasnt just expected of me, and it wasnt easy at all. I think these kids that study stupid **** and dont even really TRY to learn or improve themselves or make themselves valuable to the world - then rack on enormous debt, and then screech that the worlds not fair are really the worst thing about my generation.
