      I hate that education can turn so many people into that, and that many people are forced to go into massive debt to be neoliberalized educated so you can be thrown into the "possibly not as overworked and underpaid but no promises" work pool. The fucked up thing is way too many of those people fucking love that idea, probably because of that education system saying, "That's actually a great thing!"

      I love learning but always hated school/college. Science teachers were generally cool (yes I'm a STEM grad don't guillotine me please), but so many classes were just dumb, time wasters. Especially the business classes I took. Economics 201/202 was literally some of the dumbest shit I have ever heard until I took Marketing 300. I should have known they were signalling to me just how dumb and wasteful your future jobs will be as well.

        Especially the business classes...

        Yup.

        Definitely helped to open my eyes a bit more. Nothing like a whole class (marketing) where the point seemed to be 1) making something up and 2) finding some facts to support the made up thing and 3) convincing somebody with more money than sense to pay for the power point presentation.

            They're the same folks that told your boss that its good to act like your friend because it makes it emotionally harder for an employee to say no to a friend.

            So...
