Okay, so now there is a "reply" to the original article. It is about what you might expect. It's pretty obvious where the whole OWS stuff got its support from when you read crap like this and all of the dozens/hundreds of "yeah, what he said" comments that follow it...
Ok lookie. he is doing a job he Loves. That is why you don't get paid much for it sport. Jobs you hate (or at least dislike) pay more. Trust me. And I just love how these people act as if someone forced them into debt (other than the debt the Dems have heaped upon them in IOUs to the treasury to pay for the programs these kids support)
Come on. To get a college loan, you, as a person having passed the age of consent, sign the frigging form. Did it not occur to you that paying of 80K in debt might be hard if you only expect to earn 30K a year? But but but.. I am entitled to a 4 year long party called college, but no, I bear no personal responsibility for getting myself into debt . I was tricked! I am a victim! Someone else has to pay!
There *are* delusions at play here, but they are not our generation's. They play out as two contradictory lectures that we are told, simultaneously, by our monied elders:
1) This is AMERICA. Everybody does better than their parents!
2) This is AMERICA. Suck it up and quit bitching that you're not as well-off as your parents!
so if you accept either "delusion" and act upon it incurring debt you can't pay, its your "monied elder's" fault?
Here let me correct them for you
1) This is America - no matter how bad things get, if you keep trying and expending a huge amount of effort locating opportunities you can still find the opportunity to do better than your parents - in time, and probably not before you are 45.
2) This is America. If you choose instead to sit around and wait for everything to be handed to you on a silver platter, make stupid choices that set you back and simply don't handle your money wisely via deferred gratification and chosing a career path that has a good chance of providing a good income, instead of giving you "happiness" and a "job you love", your life as far as material wealth goes, is likely to be worse than your parents.
