I’m so sick and tired of libs demanding that students juggle scholarship applications, working, studying, and fucking starving in order to get through college.

Y’know what? I don’t think students should have to fucking work during school and it is fcked up that we’ve normalized grinding people into dust in order to achieve an education.

Oh, and fuck you if you have a learning disability and can’t do both school and work. Guess it’s poverty for you, buddy.

    I worked a full time job, a part time job, and did college at the same time.

    My 4 year degree took significantly more than 4 years and wrecked my health because of stress and sleep deprivation.

    If I was a hustlegrinding asshole I’d demand other people do that, but no, I’d rather they don’t, except maybe as a punishment for hustlegrinding assholes after the revolution. gulag

      I did the last six months of grad school full time with full time work, and despite one period of about 60 days where 9-5 weekend classes meant Saturday and Sundays were taken up so I didn’t have a day off for that entire period, I enjoyed it.

      However I also recognise that’s an insane response and wouldn’t ever want anyone to be in a position to need to do that.
