I think you're being a little harsh. At least she realizes this is how the world is and accepts it. In my book that's far better than those who scream the world should be changed because it isn't working out perfectly for them (See pw0ncakes reply)
Then again the undertow of the story (which the author is clearly too embarrased to say outright) is that she thought she was better than house cleaners before she became one (and met someone else who thought they were better than her). So I guess there's a certain poetic justice to it.
- yequalsx 17y agoIt is a very bad thing for a society to be such that getting an advanced degree is not an economic advantage. In fact, as the story illustrates, right now it is sometimes an economic disadvantage due to the opportunity costs of getting an advanced degree. This has bad long term consequences. This is what I too to be the undertow of the story.
