After college I got an internship as I had no prior industry knowledge. At the time this was fine. I was living back home with my parents and actually able to save. $14/hr was twice as much as I've ever made at my minimum wage jobs. After a little over a year I was hired into an exempt position for 20% more pay. Five years later I was stagnant after repeated empty promises of promotion and more pay. I found myself one of the go-to people that leadership would ask for financial and tech questions yet I was paid far less than anyone I was sitting in meetings with. I was turned down for a promotion that fit my experience perfectly because they hired the VP's daughter who didn't even have a business degree or experience.

I didn't know where to post this, but here feels best. I can't help but notice that older people just have it so much better, but more importantly, that they had it much better when they were our age. More controversial opinion, they've selfishly voted in people who reinstate wealth legislation so that they can accumulate as much wealth/hoard resources. Whereas, when they were younger, they voted for liberal politicians who helped redistribute it more evenly so that they could get a chance at a good life. I know not all people who vote for these politicians and/or are wealthy are older. Not all older people are wealthy at all. But it feels that by and large, it was easier for older people to become rich at a younger age. Another important point, probably the most important here, is the notion of the privilege of starting one's life with little…
