That’s why I dropped out. Haven’t been able to escape shitty hourly wage jobs ever since.

Go work somewhere with 100% tuition assistance...alot of them aren't great jobs but they'll get you free college. Walmart,Target, Amazon are just 3 off the top of my head that do 100% education benefits. Me I left a help desk job for a target warehouse gig, get paid 28/hr and 100% of school is covered. Some of us gotta grind to take a step up and I think we are stronger for it regardless of how unfair it is.

I dropped out of college. I'm a wind turbine technician now. Lots of travel, fair amount of exercise, pretty good pay and benefits.
