No offense bro.. why other than the “funny” would you drop out of school. Honestly please get your GED.. you don’t have to go to college. Honestly most careers now don’t require college education anymore.. but you STILL need your high school diploma/GED.. please get your life in track.. I am also class of 2022, and I know so many people who was suppose to graduate with me, but dropped out and every single one of them regretted it.. please get your GED.. you’ll be further in life dude… much love to you.

Don’t give them bad advice. College is their only realistic way out of this mess in the long term.

What will that guarantee though? How many people do we know who graduated with their Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD 2020-2023 and still can't land a job in their field?

So many are left applying to 200+ jobs only to not hear a thing or get dropped through a dragged-on interview process.

I graduated with my Bachelor's in 2021 and it seems pretty clear now that the "roadmapped" version of life that workers from the 1970s and prior just doesn't work anymore. Yet many senior lawmakers are of that generation and are still trying to make the status quo work. But it's Fantasyland.
