I went on strike 15 years ago! It wasnt half as bad back then.
Hey, y’all want some incentive? I make mid six figures and I’ve never graduated high school and I don’t work for anybody but myself. They are ripping you off and making you pay for it. The schooling is the first hint that you’re gullible.
This is not a knock against education, but you can be educated and not go to school. And you can be quite successful without playing that fucking game.
Let's hear about the interest free loan you got from your parents or an inheritance or other type of support that you got that most others don't before you start preaching about not having to play that fucking game though.
Because that's basically every single, "I work for myself/I'm a self starter/college is just brainwashing" self made entrepeneur story I've ever heard.
