Green Grotto 12: Better smelling than a dumpster fire

Sure. Corporations are evil.

But we’re setting our kids up to fail. Let’s focus on college.

To get a good job you need a degree. Again, there are exceptions but let’s focus on college.

You’re a decently smart kid from an average family. You’re accepted to the college of your choice. But what do you do? You didn’t get that scholarship.

College A is 30k a year. Great reviews and it’s where you want to go. At the end of your 4 year degree you’ll owe 120k but your expected annual salary is 50k. Have fun with that.

Sure there are less expensive options. More expensive too. Pros & Cons etc.

But what if something happens and you drop out after one year? You’ve got to find 30k while you try to find a job. Good luck finding one that pays decent without that piece of paper.

College is a trap.
Many companies will not even look at your resume if you don’t have that piece of paper…
Instead of the gov’t incentivizing employers to hire non-college people and train them, they suggest creating another social program to pay for 4-6 more years.

Sad that we need a national day to remind us to be nice.

I blame the internet. Being anon make people more evil.
There have been MANY studies and stories to back this up.

All this and I haven’t even gotten to work yet!

When I started working I was hoping to make $5 an hour. I think I started at 3.40. I have my first pay stub somewhere.

I think since the beginning of time being young means thinking old people are the problem, and getting older means thinking younger people are the problem.

In other, unrelated much more fun news, this morning my 6yo daughter was running around the house chanting “box of crap, box of crap…” because she knows one is supposed to arrive tonight!
