First and foremost I am not anti-intellectual and I am not anti-education. Very far from it in fact. I just believe that the quality of education in America is on par with the food provided at a public school. College education has, especially for the last two generations, been treated as an absolute necessity to have any hope of living a financially stable life. The thing is, many statistics show (please feel free to correct me if I am wrong here) that less than 50% of college grads find a job in their studied field. On top of that student loans are the only type of debt that cannot be discharged under any circumstances except for death (and they'll still chase your estate if you have one). All signed up for by 17 and 18 year old young adults with absolutely no real concept of the working world and surviving…

I was listening to “9-5er's Anthem” by Aesop Rock today, and the hook just stirred up some feelings in me and made me think about you guys. Have you heard it before? Here is the hook from the song, and a link to it on YouTube: https://youtu.be/3tZtish6RPU?t=181 Now we the American working population hate the fact that eight hours a day is wasted on chasing the dream of someone that isn't us. And we may not hate our jobs but we hate jobs in general that don't have to do with fighting our own causes. We the American working population hate the nine-to-five day-in day-out when we'd rather be supporting ourselves by being paid to perfect the pastimes that we have harbored based solely on the fact that it makes us smile if it sounds dope Edit: formatting

How fucked up are their payroll system?
I used to work at a job where we apply labels to wires and plug them into connectors. One particular job they said that they were getting a lot of problems with people doing them incorrectly so they were very particular on how the labels were applied. At first the only thing I questioned them on was that for some reason they wanted us to apply one label on each of the cables then go through the work again and apply the other two even though it really didn't make much of a difference. The big problem was that they had us very specifically orientate the labels and a specific way because they were 'twisting' as the labels were applied, order of them being done one then two made no difference. After doing almost 300 of them the leads came back and said that they were done wrong and that…
