one time a stranger on neopets years ago told me “school makes you think you have to be good at everything but sometimes it’s ok to just be good at one thing. even if it’s not something you get a grade for. they don’t grade you for being a good person” and tbh i still think about it little did i know all i needed this whole time was in glowing purple text and that icon of the goth fairy

I wish college hadn’t become close to a universal experience. It’s almost an expectation now and I hate it.

Eventually, youll be expected to have a life-time education alongside your job

Honestly if credentials keep becoming worth less and less I won’t be surprised

Autodidacts will become more valuable. Quality will outcompete quantity, but plebs will still be fucking incompetent in general including their ability to quantify quality.

But they’re still going to hold autodidacts (by which I mean good/successfully/usefully selfeducated ones) to the standard of wasting half of their life in useless unrelated courses (just to prove how good of a mindless drone of a worker you are) like making contentfree powerpoints about literally anything for a garunteed A+ for a class about the feminist critique of math and physics.

“No half-of-life-wasted in pseudoeducation? no job, no paycheck, no raises, no benefits. But also, you are obviously 1000 times more valuable as someone with a home education and years of research on an unbelievably wide, but well prioritized variety of subjects including everything you need to know about this job and even innovating our industry, BUT you still cant hold a job or us jobs unless you spend the rest of your free time studying for mandatory courses for this job that dont actually help you with this job – it’s not fair to the other unpaid interns that you get to skip on classes altogether. If you want hopes for a paycheck, you have to slave yourself to our new cult society where we win -sort of- and you lose -definitely. Anyways, My 17th vacation this year starts tomorrow, and when I come back, I expect you to have a good report card”

“okay fath- uh- boss”
