True story. My mom always told me in the late-90s that if I didn’t go to college I’d never get a job. I graduated in 2000 and she spent the next 10 years telling me to go back to school. In the last ten years of her life she talked about what a waste college is. Whiplash.

All through high school it was “YOU NEED TO GO TO COLLEGE, YOU DONT WANT TO BE STUCK DOING MANUAL LABOR YOUR WHOLE LIFE”

Then in college it was “wtf why is this generation so scared of hard work”

Exactly. Was told "you are going to college" every day growing up. Then I turn 17, start applying and I'm told they gambled my college fund in stocks and lost it all.

Now that I've graduated I get negative respect from my father because now I'm educated and he's self conscious. Even topic I've studied and work in professionally he knows better and wants me to know it.

I lost it when he said college doesn't matter. Like, how do you have amnesia for the first 27 years of my life??
