[CW: Sarcastic comments about self harm]
FUUUUCK OOOOFF
I'm sorry? Does getting into debt so I can PAY FOR MY OWN TRAINING FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOT FUCKING COUNT? Of fucking course not.
Oh let me guess, all the extra things I need to do to "prove I'm worthy" to our almighty employers is all stuff that is near impossible for me as a permanently exhausted neurodivergent person with no money?
Will I guess it's my fault for being born poor and given a slew of traumas as a child. How dare I want to pursue something I'm interested in and good at? What a fair, free and just society! I guess I should just burn myself out completely for chump change or die quietly in the corner.
I'm tired of hearing about employers "Not wanting to risk training employees only to lose them" when hardly any employers even do real training anymore, and no one talks about the risk employees take into going into debt for a degree. Getting a degree is already hard as it is and I don't even know if I'll ever get a return on that, so why should I have to be a super human for an employer to even consider me? Where's their effort?
Oh right, because this is capitalism and employers have the power, not me.
That pricetag is a fantastic way to keep the masses from pursuing an education and getting more unskilled, desperate, disposable workers into the job market.
glances at larger and larger hecs debt
I'm going to keep growing that shit too. Fuck them for trying to keep me from my passion
I got a shitty mark (but eventual bachelors) in computer science, one of the ones that's supposed to be a money maker.
Love the whims of the market. It's such a rational system.
I feel ya.
Love "learning to code" then the code industry collapses
