[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did art history at a private expensive undergrad where I was on full scholarship and worked, so I know what the author describes.  Eventually though I switched to a more practical career that is less idealistic but pays well.  Then I moved to a lower col place to enable me to purchase and accumulate my own wealth.  I can’t really relate to op’s rage, although I totally agree the system is rigged.  I think the op could take more control of the fiscal reality of her life by compromising her ideals, which aren’t making her as happy as she hoped, and frankly are just rooted in fantasy.  Some family wealth people I know are clueless  and spend through their trust funds. Others rent u-hauls and move themselves into million dollars houses because they were raised to preserve wealth.  Wealth above what op I’m pretty sure she makes doesn’t add much happiness overall according to research.  She needs to take ownership and change her circumstances, which she is well qualified to do.

So which is it, pp?

Is the system rigged, or should people just work hard to change their circumstances (you said both in your post…which seems to be in direct conflict)? [/quote]

What is rigged?  Some people start at a different place.  Some far different.  That is not rigged.  Those people are advantaged.  So what.  As a PP said, live your life.[/quote]
