Probably always more or less. I have managed to be pretty independent and poor. Anytime you want to make a dollar you are in the machine right?
Even guys like Gates and Jobs are in the machine once they want to make a dime. Not that it’s bad for them.
To be honest though, college for our generation, in many situations, should have been a no-brainer. I wasn’t groomed for it…Lacked the patience and needed achievement motivation. Freedom was a priority. I wanted to learn what I wanted to learn and definitely not spend my time specializing so that I could throw myself down some tube.
I may do volunteer work that I can find and am most happy at from here on out.
