re: I'm Not Trying to be Mean, But Why Was AOC Tending Bar At the Age of 28?

Completely fair point. But this situation certainly comes with some qualifiers.

Is it highly doubtful that AOC would've been content with being a bartender. If so, why did she bother finishing (or even attending) college?

From what I know about her, it's fairly obvious that she is a very idealistic person who surely would understand that bartending isn't exactly the type of professional experience that would advance you very far up either the private or public-sector ladder.

Her jump from bartender to congresswoman was an utter anomaly. You can't tell me that she planned it out like that.

So the question remains...why was she bartending?
