Instead of blaming parents, or the government, or boomer, or even yourself, why not just see it as a done decision and plan for what's ahead instead?

You're supposed to be building equity now? Why? Do you really need to buy a house now, or were you just conditioned to think that you need a house?

You can only get a $30k job, but is $50k in debt? So what? Just do what you can, and get a better job in a year or two. If you're good, you won't remain at $30k for long as long as you actively pursue a better paying job or start a business. In the end, you'll be alright.
Sigmund Freud defined four parts of a psyche; the id, the ego, the superego and the stratego. The Stratego being the highest form of morality and scientific thinking.

My mom and dad pushed college on me like no one's business. They could not understand that I just did not want to go. I qualified. I would have even gotten help. I just didn't want to go. Why? Why go to college to learn something (computers, web design) I already knew how to do and I could learn on my own without the debt? While there are some things I could have learned by going to college, Objective C, C++, Phyton, etc.. it wasn't worth 50k of debt to learn. On top of that, I eventually taught myself enough Objective C to be dangerous.


I see exploiteds point. He's getting alot of flack but I see what he is trying to say. Parents talk you into it but it's up to you to see what the scope looks like in today's market and make a decision that's best for you and your future. Frankly, if you don't have enough balls to tell your parents "I'm going to do what's best for me" than you probably aren't going to amount to much of anything, college or not anyway.

48 to 96 straight isn't really possible. Maybe 48 with some meth, but after two full days everybody is a shitshow. Especially if you're working hard. I've gone 36 in bad conditions and it's brutal.

One of my good friends has been in the oil fields his entire adult life. He's 26 and clears 2 grand a week. The shifts are bad, but no where near as bad as you make it sound. He was able to get through drug court (random drug tests daily, group meetings 1-2 times a week, drug court, probation officer meetings, NA meetings 3 nights a week) and work in the oil field at the same time. Barely lol but he did it.

but he was working a legit 50-60 hour weeks though.

And, Dylan mentioned another problem in these jobs. METH and such. Those are such jolly f**k to be around at work and on your time off. Ergo, the crime problems.
