We have all these ideals about hard work but in reality the economy is largely a casino. With crippling student debt most young people have been hamstrung from the gate. Milleneals don't generate wealth like boomers because most milleneals were effectively born into indentured servitude with the exploitation over education. Sure you could try to go without a degree in 2017 but good luck getting your foot in the door to anything today without education.


If you can’t find work, create your own. Worked for me and I’ve been at it happily for a few years now. Best decision ever made.


What do you do if you don't mine me asking?


Unethical idea that just struck me -- why not just flee the country?

You can make a living as an english teacher and translator in A LOT of places.


> why not just flee the country?

For the same reasons people flee into the US from all over the world.

You still have things pretty well. Sure they are getting worse, and it's worth fighting that process, but fleeing is not a great option.
