I had to work full time while going to college to afford college and expenses.
It cannot be done.
You can’t go to college full time, work full time, live in an apartment, pay bills, etc.
The cost to do what y’all profess as “normal” has made that situation unobtainable.

The real unemployment rate was 25% in my area. There was no choice but to go to college because wages were $3.10 an hour and no one could afford to pay more.. I built my house because I couldn't afford 15% interest.

Every year record profits, even during covid.
Every year cost of living raises dont match inflation, thats even before this inflation we are seeing now.
Im not surprised people are giving the middle finger to corporations.

The definition seems to perpetually evolve. The concept originated during the pandemic when people working from home cleverly recognized they could get a second work from home job and neither employer would notice.

How is it impossible? If anything it's easier, with online classes. Tuition is around 8k a year, is that really impossible with a full time job?

He is a government employee.
He has no experience in anything he’s talked about in this thread. There is nothing expected of him and he produces nothing of value.

Don't know chief. I'd have loved to have grown up outside that shitty state.

Thank you. 
Full time college students aren’t making salary somewhere.
The boomer generation didn’t just pull up the ladder, they set it on fire.

Cost of living, tuition, books, extra university charges, etc.
Did you not see the last chart referencing college tuition increases vs salary?
And tuition for LSU is $20k, not $8k.

If its the basic amount required, he'll stay a janitor for the rest of his career.
Some people are a bit more ambitious than that.

You've stated on this board several times you worked as a park ranger and at the shipping dock. So you're either a government employee or union

Look at this. this child is so eaten up he's having to make false accusations about someone just because he's incapable of actual substance. I find it amusing you little fellas have to project your failure constantly to feel normal.
Where do I work?
