   I do not have sympathy for people who have surrendered their free will.

   Your ancestors for millennia toiled in the fields, you are an office worker.

   Shut up.

     Anyone should be allowed to go to college. But we shouldn't tell high schoolers they must go to college.

     My entire four years in HS were just teachers telling students how to take SAT and ACT scores as if your entire working life is just going to be college entrance exams.

     First it's FCAT, then MCAT, ACT, SAT, ASVAB. But do any of you know firearms safety? Automotive mechanics? HVAC? Electrical?

     I was denied a machinist job when I was 19 because I told the owner I was going to college. He wanted an employee for 5+ years and knew I'd leave once I graduated. Where I'm from there are no jobs for anyone with a degree.

     That's me providing a counter argument to my own anger at college graduates (I also am a college graduate).

     I simultaneously hate people who expect the world to just hand them everything just because they have a paper that says they are an expert on $field_of_study

     Where I live right now there is not an even my industry anymore. IT doesn't exist where I am, I can go fix a clinic's network but that's about it.

     I am fine with this situation however because I have realized IT is a fake industry. If I wanted to get a job in it again I'd move to Texas or California.

     > They were lied to.
     
     It is true, but since, everyone recommends college, it is hard to dodge the trap.
     
     Honestly, it is a hard lie to get go of, to accept the truth that I was taught garbage for the first 26 years of my life xD
     
     It is a lot of time to waste, you know xD ?

     They were lied to. We were told you need a college degree to get a job otherwise you will work in fast food. We told everyone this.

     There are Kings, Lords, Nobles, and Peasants.

     We told every peasant they could become a noble if they learned how to read. Every peasant learned to read now they won't work the fields because they're expecting to become a noble. The problem being is that there isn't enough land for everyone to become a noble. There never was.
