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.
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.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
no more half measures walter
I appreciate the sentiment but I don't think college should be thought of as job training. College is for mental enrichment.
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.
