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.
In theory, yes it should be.
In practice, most people don't have the luxury of picking a major for mental enrichment unless it happens to pay well because they're not in a financial position to assume tens of thousands of dollars of debt for that luxury.
I get that there's appeal in the image of a bohemian with an arts history degree struggling to make it by or whatever, but in this economy and ever diminishing social safety net, it's not exactly a rational choice to do that.
