You know what? Your system IS dumb. I’m a little sick of it. I went to grade school. I went to Junior High and High School. I was told I NEEDED to go to college because you just can’t make a decent living without a college degree. So I went to college. And when I got to college I was told I had to take this class, and that class, and fulfill this requirement, and spend a ton of money on these books that I would never actually read or even open.

Well I did all that. And after a few years and tens of thousands of dollars later I walked out of college with a fancy piece of paper and a couple of letters to put on my resume. And guess what? I’m still making the same amount of money as I was making before college. The only difference is there is a heck of a lot less money in my bank account after spending so much money on a college “education.”

So I’m here to tell you that your system is dumb. Your system is broken. The system has effectively drained my financial resources all while keeping me out of the work force for that much longer. So not only am I broke, but I also don’t have as many years of work experience in my related fields. So yeah. Thanks a lot for that academia. At least I learned how to write really witty essays and get perfect scores on them in my college English classes. Oh wait…all those essays I wrote were actually ones I reused from high school
