I’m surprised that you — with your educational background and obvious intellect — hadn’t already figured that out during your first semester of college. The whole American Dream formula is a grotesque pantomime of what real living is meant to be.
I suppose on some intellectual level I understood the reality of the job market I was heading into upon graduating, however I think now I am in the process of internalizing that reality on an emotional level.
If that makes any sense at all.
