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

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.

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

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

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

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.

[-] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

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

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

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
