[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]School just isn’t fun anymore. It’s not about exploration or making friends. From one year before they start tracking math in your neighborhood, it’s about executive function and taking all the right classes. And it never ends. You might as well stop spending money and start making money, because you’re not having fun anyway. [/quote]

This. If your only goal.is to make good grades and get the highest paying job possible, why not finish as fast as possible? College is essentially trade school to these types..[/quote]

To “types” that aren’t rich, yeah [/quote]
+1 seriously

Even though we are UMC, we don't come from money. We earned every penny and actually help family members.  Finding yourself in college is a luxury we don't really have.

People who say that college is a "trade school" to us type of people are elitist aholes in their little privileged bubbles who know nothing about how the real world works.[/quote]

Actually I am the pp and am a first generation college graduate from a woking class family. I knew this was my last four years of not working full time and decided to take as much advantage of it as possible; I also worked part time the whole time I was in college and did internships.

It's better to have some fun while you are young enough to enjoy it. Those kids keeping their nose to grindstone to just change it for another grindstone after 3 years are going to regret it 20 years from now. I saw how hard my parents had to work, and knew I would have to work even harder as first generation in college.

I can understand middle.class and working class kids who are under pressure to save money, but really don't understand UMC kids who don't have to worry so much.
