You can tell this is an ancient meme because it prices college at 4 years at $9,000 per year instead of 5 years at $30,000 per year ๐Ÿ˜†

That, and they also keep changing it. When too many middle class people make good many with trades, they call it inflation and engineer a recession that depresses those wages.

When too many middle class people are getting higher education, they raise tuition and burden us with debt.

The real answer is: do what you love, if you're good at it and if it provides objective value to society.

And all together, we must have middle class solidarity to reign in the power the elites have over us and make sure we own and control the wealth and housing stock, while they pay high taxes and not us.

If we don't demand our share of the pie, we will end up with scraps and our children will end up with even less.
