    So glad I went to college and grad school to get a job at a biotech, helping produce life saving drugs, just to barely live paycheck to paycheck with 5 digit credit card debt.

    The amount of times I think about suicide is too high for my liking. Honestly why do people even have kids anymore. Fuck this place.

      That’s why I dropped out. Sophomore year, I was calling a bunch of places to get an internship, and the answer was always the same… “We only do unpaid internships, and you pretty much need a master’s in your field to get in.” I dropped shortly after that and saved myself from spending another 20 grand on a STEM degree that would get me less per hour than a pizza delivery driver.
