... mind you, I would happily concede all arguments to the author of this brilliant piece:

Me too. Only one problem;. In order to understand this piece, you had to have gone to college for an extended length beyond a BA and revolted. You had to learn at some critical point you were responsible for your own education and discovered you could learn whatever you thought you wanted. And if you did that, you were probably not going to get a job doing anything except the worst sort of exploitated labor that shit on everything you learned was true and beautifull.

In fact, I would say the better your education, the worse off you are. Maybe you'll get lucky, but probably not. Here's the reason. The better your education, the more you are pissed off at the state of the nation, the world, and the more likely you are to revolt against the whole shit bag trip.

The credential industry discovered this sorry state of affairs during the 1960s and made enough changes to higher education so that never happened again. That's why working class kids get no education, even if they go to college.
