No its sadly a reflection of reality for many. Kids who don't know any better sign the dotted line on a 20k$ loan for a political science or liberal arts degree then wonder why their 4 year education didnt translate into marketable skills for a well paying job.
So they enter their early 20s living paycheck to paycheck on an entry level job barely making enough to pay off their student loans, this months rent, and have enough left over to afford food. This makes them rightfully pessimistic about the system so they go on lemmy to rant about capitalism while hoping it all burns down along with their loans. Its a predictable cliche.
That's a completely different issue than what I was talking about though
We were talking about work experience in high school
