Yep, I’m going to respond to this. Let’s say I am in my early 20s and working a basic restaurant job for $10–12 hour. What I bring home doesn’t even cover my rent, utilities, a basic car payment, food. So now I get a job driving for Uber on the weekends, which is inconsistent income at best and I’m now working 10–12 hrs a day for six to seven days a week. Attending trade school means I would need to a) have time to do so and b) have thousands of dollars extra to pay for my schooling. Where exactly does that extra time and money come from? If you’ve never been in this circumstance, shut up with the pull yourselves up by the bootstraps trope. Your selfishness is showing…
