I'm so sick and tired of libs demanding that students juggle scholarship applications, working, studying, and fucking starving in order to get through college.

Y'know what? I don't think students should have to fucking work during school and it is fcked up that we've normalized grinding people into dust in order to achieve an education.

Oh, and fuck you if you have a learning disability and can't do both school and work. Guess it's poverty for you, buddy.

    Also doubt because there is not enough time in a day for a full practice and workout in the early morning, three to five hours of class, eight hours of wage labor, and still enough time to study, complete assignments, feed yourself and wash your ass and still wake up in time to do it the next day.

    So either they're lying, or this person went to college part time and graduated in 6+ years, or they worked full time for three months out of the year and part time the rest, or they just didn't learn anything and picked a major that allowed them to graduate without doing virtually any work. What a rosy outlook for the public education system!!

    Edit: or they ordered doordash/Uber eats every day on Dad's credit card, in which case thanks for subsidizing my education as well

      I worked a full time job, a part time job, and did college at the same time.

      My 4 year degree took significantly more than 4 years and wrecked my health because of stress and sleep deprivation.

      If I was a hustlegrinding asshole I'd demand other people do that, but no, I'd rather they don't, except maybe as a punishment for hustlegrinding assholes after the revolution. gulag

        I did the last six months of grad school full time with full time work, and despite one period of about 60 days where 9-5 weekend classes meant Saturday and Sundays were taken up so I didn't have a day off for that entire period, I enjoyed it.

        However I also recognise that's an insane response and wouldn't ever want anyone to be in a position to need to do that.

      They even say that he had a "useless degree" which means that he would have been better off just not going to college in the first place.

        Though some people's idea of a "useless degree" is anything that's not Engineering or coding or some shit.

          True, though if he's some kind of hustle grindset dweeb like the guy telling the story makes him sound, I'd imagine he's in business.

            yeah but i'm pretty sure that a bachelors in business isn't worth shit.
