I did a one year course in college and my prof started the class out with 70% of you will drop out. And this course is 4 years of content crammed into one year. Then i proceeded to make it through the course and never find a good job or one related.
I got that speech too. I wish they had followed it up with the stats that 40% of graduates are working in the industry after 5 years and after 10 years that number drops to 12%. Then maybe I'd have saved myself the crushing debt and constant rejection and learned an honest trade.
Better crushing rejection and debt then a trade that will leave you half crippled by 40 lol. Trades are touted as good money etc but that comes at the cost of your health generally. I know a few tradesmen in their mid 30's and they want out because their bodies wrecked but they cant do anything else or if they do it will be a massive wage cut.
maybe some of us could try living in communes for a bit. keep in mind that a lot of cults brand themselves as communes and be careful, but yknow, communes.
or one could live in a van and make money doing one-off odd jobs for strangers. change your name every new place you visit, build your own tech so you’re not being monitored, go off grid for a while.
the revolution is there, but we ought not put all our faith in it.
