The system was designed to turn you into a corporate slave from the very start

Go through high school and learn about things that are irrelevant to the grand scheme of life, become conditioned and programmed to take on debt at an early age through college loans, sit on that debt and watch it pile up and multiply as you try to find a job that gets you out of the paycheck to paycheck cycle, pay your taxes and get little to nothing in return, but don't you dare question anything. After all, this is the American dream.
