You go to university and get into 60k debt. Provided you get a “real degree” your chances at a “normal life are good. You go to uni and go into 60K debt for some arts or painting or gender studies, your chances aren’t so good. You go to trade school and get a trade, your chances are pretty good. BUT WHATS THE POINT when day after day these jobs are being exported overseas as the country is being hollowed from the inside out? At the same time millions upon millions of people come here (legally & illegally) to compete for both low skilled and high skilled jobs. Don’t you see it? Large corporations are selling your jobs outside for a dime on the dollar, which is supported by politicians making big bank when the do this. Don’t you get it? Soon, there won’t be any “good” jobs left, much like…

24 hours a day. If you don’t count the time we sleep, half of our lives are spent working. Sad.

I've tried so hard to work with the public for 20 years. Where I can tolerate customers, especially when I have authority to tell them off if needed (which usually is only when they are getting violent with a colleague or with me), I cannot tolerate the back stabbing and disrespect from colleagues especially if they are abusing their position over me. I have ADHD and Dyslexia, I have decided that I will proudly talk about having these disabilities because I had tried to avoid get help for the 24+ years I've been diagnosed with the conditions. It doesn't make me any less of a person, but the suppression had given me severe depression and social anxiety. I am done trying to hide and recently took steps to properly get treatment.
