I would add that, with more widespread education and college attendance, people also expect more freedom to decide what they do with their time. From a psychological standpoint, they feel they've given themselves some authority by becoming educated and expect to be able to exercise this authority. It's hard to do this if you're forced to spend most of your time realizing someone else's dream (by working for a living) and, due to a stagnant economy, this servitude doesn't even net you enough to build a strong base.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoI never thought about the education angle, but in a way yeah - what's the point of being well-read, curious, interested in many things, if you never get time to use any of that because you're tied to spending most of your life working as a cog in an industry, often on things of dubious ethical value?
