I'm one of those people with "uneducated parents" and it's true they do not know the least about it. My father actually told every single one of his kids not to go to college.
4/5 did (a couple have grad degress) and only 1 of those has been able to make good on their investment (my sister who is a nurse). I love learning and I'm glad I am educated, but I would not do this all again. Americans pride ourselves on being a classless society, but the reality is I was born to blue collar workers and I was meant to be a blue collar worker. The extreme attempt at being a white collar worker has failed most in my family. All we did was get was huge debts that have crippled every one of us through our 20's and 30's.
And then we're told to get on our hands and knees and thank our bosses for the opportunity to never be challenged or build a career. I would rather slit my throat than continue to be lied to about all these "opportunities" I apparently have. I've made plans to do just that if I am going to be forced into another bullshit job where I get to make the world worse all for the "opportunity" to not be challenged or pay off my student loans. It sucks, but I see more virtue in going off and dying.
- runamok 11y agoYou sound like you are in a very dark place. It's true student debt is bullshit but your life is so much more important. Screw it. Leave the country before you consider dying. So many people in your boat so hopefully things will change. I am sorry you are going through this...
