I know this is typical for the US so this is more for US people to respond to. I wouldn’t say that it is the best system for work, just wondering about the disconnect.
Not even just income, health insurance and future job prospects as well 🙃
I have the money to quit and wander the world for a year or two, but I would be abandoning my health insurance and it would be a huge black mark on my resume assuming I didn’t concoct some lie to cover it.

It’s nice to reflect on how as a little kid I went and saw episodes 2 and 3 in theaters and thought the Jedi were so freaking cool man - then coming back to the series 20 years later having developed politics and realize the Jedi are pretty blatantly a corrupt, listless, doomed-by-its-own-inadequacy organization starting at the top.

I got this fun fee after trying to order takeout from Buffalo Wild Wings (yes I'm naming and shaming). How exactly does adding a dollar help you operate takeout? It's literally less work than waiting on a table. This is nothing more than a shameful cash grab to pad profits....
A+! I guess I can see why, for the first time you can kinda see a way out of mediocrity for the wiz, vs. just being totally dead in the water for the next 4 years at which point they'd only get worse (like now) not better
Why don't schools simulate a typical 9 to 5 work week for students and remove homework entirely?
