In today’s world, especially in the US, we’re told that we need to go to college and get an education in order to have a decent living. But nowadays it’s not so easy, and it’s only boomers telling us how easy it was. College is causing many students to get in debt so early in their life. There are scholarships, however for some that’ll be a hassle to obtain considering other factors in life. What would you suggest?
It’s really hard to suggest anything, you’re fucked either way, heavily depends on your current situation and circumstances. College gives you a bigger potential ceiling in terms of income but you’re taking a big risk and even after you get your degree you’re going to have to tolerate being stepped on and abused by your superiors when trying to climb up the ladder. Without college there’s not much easy options besides going into the service industry, which pays like garbage. I would say trades, but they’re really not that much better and come with the same issues, having to tolerate being paid like ass for a couple years before you get up in the ladder. My cousin is a plumber, he’s not going to school, but currently he isn’t paid nearly enough to move out of his parents house and is waiting to move up. He’s been a plumber for four years and nothing’s changed for him yet. It sucks. Also your location matters a lot to. I grew up and live in the south where right to work is king and there are barely any good union jobs, which makes going into the trades MUCH less appealing.
Anyways, good luck, I hope you find something. I’m sorry I can’t really give you a specific answer.
Yep
Can’t help but feeling a lot of boomers are gonna be eating cockroaches in the the old ages.
