Go to college to get a job. Get a job to pay for college.

yeah a 17 year old is a real grown adult.

will you just knock it off? admit that you were luckier than most and throw out a bootstraps comment and be done with it senor romney.

[Dylan]

Well, let's not get ahead of yourselves with the lucky remark. The alternatives for people without college degrees are pretty f**k shitty too.

All in all it's just not the ideal time to be young in America. Still pretty cool though. Or at least I'm having a hell of a good time thus far.

Haha, how was I luckier than most? I made the right decision, saw the writing on the wall, and others didn't. That isn't my fault. It isn't the governments fault. It isn't the Boomers fault. It is no ones fault but their own.

Hell, you went to school for philosophy, right? Are you seriously telling me that when you signed up for that, getting a good paying job was on your mind? f**k. Like every other whiny flower of paradise, you made a bad decision, and now you want someone else to fix it for you. Except now there is a whole generation of whiny flower of paradise, all of whom are engaging in the same shallow, self-entitled politics of denial. "The social compact made me do it" "The Boomers made me do it" "My parents made me do it." No, they f**k didn't. You did it. Now you pay for it.

The only reason I support debt forgiveness at this point is so I don't have to listen to people my age act like f**k Boomers.

There is a middle ground here.

[exploited]

The solutions are pretty obvious, and supported by just about everyone, even the evil Boomers who conspired to deprive their children of wealth.

[Dylan]

Yes, not everybody should go to college. Now that we are in the process of putting that myth behind us as a society, we should be careful that we don't swing too far on the pendulum away from higher education.

Like gla22 said, a nice medium ground is best.
