if I ever have kids they're 100% getting a job from 18+, before going to college
"oh that's cruel how bourgeois of you" look I'm sorry but I feel like I fucked up college because I didn't go to class and do homework and I think that I would have not done that if I were a few years older and knew how much a lifetime of retail or food service drudgery absolutely sucks, and I know that me telling a kid "yeah this shit sucks, waking up at 8am for class is fucking easy you loser try getting up at 5am every day to go drive 30 minutes in to a job that will never pay you what you are worth (every job)" isn't going to result in them learning that same lesson as intimately and also $30,000 of debt to learn "dropping out of college and working really sucks" is a very expensive lesson

Like it's even weird to have a person raise a dog when they know nothing about dog training, there are people less motivated than those dog owners who are raising entire people, it's just...
