Everyone keeps telling me to get a job at Target or Denny's but then what?
Does anyone know how hard it is to support yourself off 8$ an hour? So work two jobs, but what about going to school?

But what degree is actually worth it, and how many graduates for that degree are graduating every year and how long is it going to be worth it?
Will it be worth it after i get the degree in a few years still or will the market have changed by then?

Very well stated Oblivion.
Corporations have become addicted to competition and it has gotten out of hand.
We advance our technology and ability to perform in our jobs day after day - with promises of easier days, more relaxation, etc.
They have been dangling that carrot in front of the world population for centuries now.
The thing is, ease of work never increases, expectations increase... Every single time, no matter what... Why?
Because if we don't do it, then the other guy will - that mind set has created an addiction-like dependence on increasing production and expectations at an unnecessary rate (that mindset - along with the pretty penny the guys on top receive for the more productive slaves).
They want everybody to "go, go, go" "head down" "never mind about the man behind the curtain" "keep working" "go, go, go".
After all... why would they intentionally make things difficult for little ol' us.....
The rich are are a sponge that cannot be filled, they are a lust that cannot be "slicked", they are the epitome of the wickedest of the human condition. They always take, they never give back, they always consume but never produce, they are a cancer to our entire race across the entire planet. We NEED to cut this tumor from our midst and start anew.
