Yes! You are fucked the minute you walk in the door at college. I went to a big ivy league school and will probably go back for old time's sake. I believe in constantly being educated. Yet I'm in a different position than most as it's to my advantage.
Yet I recall young guys walking in the door at the office, 21 or 23 years old, 200 or more K in debt! They had to pay that shit off and there were collection agencies calling the office day and night trying to get a piece of them. Not only that but some of the guys had wives and or kids and brother, they would never see the good side of a paycheck IF they got one. It was like we were paying Uncle Sam and the courts instead of the guy or gal we hired!
It was horrid! It was a trap! If a young couple out of college bought a house and had a kid, they were in debt til Jesus came back.
I saw that shit coming years ago and worked my situation so I would never be in that kind of debt. Only a rare, rare few would get those high paying jobs. The guys raking in the most dough were the mavericks, the rebels who believe it or not ended up in comics and computers and real estate ( no landlords though ).
I remember getting into this industry and seeing an army of college kids roll through. Actually it was the Japanese college kids that got ME into this biz. They were making a FORTUNE with adult anime toons. I'm talking like back in '96 they were raking in like $500k a year and paying off their bills. Mind you a fucking donut in Tokyo cost $80k they somehow made it and when they paid off their bills etc. they all piled into Thailand and Brazil to live the life of Riley.
This is a cruel fucking world and the shit I've seen I wouldn't blame anyone from doing adult to stay the fuck out of the mouths of the wolves cause the government and society are totally geared to fuck you over.
