> when and how did you realise that university was a meme? how come so many people fall for it? it only became like this once every hiring company started requiring it for nearly everything. now that there's been a ton of pushback against it, they're requiring years of experience that nobody has instead. online schools are the way to go. teach yourself the trade first, then go to an online school. ace everything, and then maybe hope you can get into your field of choice.  we live in an era now where basically nobody wants to give you an opportunity. you can only rely on your personal network of friends for stable employment. starting your own business is another hassle in its own right. you have to deal with loans, investors, taxes, copyright, possible lawsuits from bullshit claims of ip theft, large corporate conglomerates fucking up market competition by leasing state power among other things.    > 1998 when i was 18 years old holy shit. i know that must've been super comfy for you back then. when i was 18 in 2018, i was neeting it up playing vidya and spending my doordash money on snacks and shit. if i was 18 in 98' i probably would've been doing something similar with me frequenting the arcades. now i have a ton of cash but i'm doing back breaking work while also going to school.
