You’re so right. That’s why I graduated with a degree in computer science with a 3.58 GPA whilst carrying my teams on projects and worked my ass off to apply to many jobs and internships during my education as well as learning additional skills not being taught to me on the side…only to be met with nothing but rejection after rejection without so much as an internview. Guess I should just work at Walmart for $14/hr because I’m a talentless hack that will never amount to anything. $70,000 well spent!
The social contract is completely and utterly broken. For as long as hard work and investments in one’s future gets people absolutely nowhere, we will continue to be a degenerating society that doesn’t give a shit about being aspirational. There won’t be anyone left to care about space exploration or scientific advancements if all of the extremely talented people who can make it happen have the ball and chain of capitalism holding them down and sucking the life out of them. It’s impossible to dream big when you’re living in a nightmare.
If you have a degree, you can work somewhere else besides Chipotle. It might not be in the field of your major, but it will be better paying than fast food.
