Can anyone live on $15/hr?

Alright, let's get real for a sec. How the hell are we supposed to make it out here on $15 an hour? I mean, have you seen the rent prices lately? My paycheck disappears faster than a Snapchat story! I’m sick of pretending that part-time gigs are ‘experience building’ when they’re really just soul-sucking hamster wheels. This isn’t the American Dream, it’s an American nightmare! You work your butt off, and still can't afford more than instant noodles and hopes that your car doesn’t break down. Is it just me, or does it feel like we're all caught in some crazy survival game? Honestly, just feeling tired and frustrated. Anyway, rant over—let's keep pushing. There’s gotta be a better way! #JobMarketRealities #SurvivalWages #LifeIsExpensive

Is College Really Worth It Nowadays?

Honestly, I keep asking myself if college is even worth it anymore. I mean, what's the point of dropping tens of thousands, maybe even more, just to end up with a degree that doesn't guarantee a damn job? It's downright frustrating! I'm seeing friends who didn’t go to college making solid money with no debt, while I'm juggling multiple jobs just to keep afloat. And let’s not even talk about the insane student loans hanging over my head. Don't get me wrong, education's important, but can we be real for a sec? The job market's brutal, and sometimes it feels like your degree is just a fancy piece of paper. So, I wonder, are we barking up the wrong tree by pushing college as the holy grail of success? Can't help but feel like there's gotta be a better way. 🤔 #JobMarketRealities #CollegeDebt #FutureProspects
