[Taking the default path of every other middle-class kid in search of a middle-class job] teaches you to better question everything, not to question for the sake of questioning, but for the sake of proving to yourself and others that what you’re doing, that what somebody else is doing, is really the way it should be done. It also gives you a much wider berth of existing theories and hypotheses that you can use to create new knowledge from. It seems unlikely that there would be some kind of mass-market institution that teaches everyone to question authority, especially if so many authorities had gone through that institution. It seems much more likely that any institution that markets to 18- to 22-year-olds is going to market itself as totally rad and rebellious. Here's what I think happened: I think the author of this post got older and wiser. That tends to happen to people, even if they participate in the extended adolescence of school. Granted, it happens a lot faster to people who drop and and have to pay bills and don't even have a meal plan. But it happens to nearly everyone.
