It sucks, and its hard to fight and change. I do feel like the fear the system puts in us, is why our generation is going to college more and more.<br /><br />From personal experience, my place of employment used to hire people right out of high school and these people are living decent lives and learned the job on the job.

The system has implemented fear led our generation to believe that finding a job in this economy is impossible. This is not true. And helps them to continue to make *billions* of our insecurities. <br /><br />Do 22 year olds even consider the debt they incur while being in grad school full time and as a result, leave school with no income since they did not have the chance to work? Pay your loans back with what money? <br /><br />Also, how are you more competitve (in some scenarios) than a 24 year old that was in school for 4 years but had credible working experience for two years than a 24 year old that has been sitting in a class room for 6 years straight?<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
