Hello brothers,
This is a topic that I open in response to this post https://ancient-forums.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=45058#p204181
In there, I posted a sort-of-funny reply concerning what our future would look like for us, but mostly for our kids in the unfortunate event that world goes into full socialism/commie mode.
Joke aside, it is a serious issue that impacts all of us. First of all, as you all know, most diplomas right now are just a waste of time. It pays more to just have the know-how in a field, than to get a degree. Yes, they still matter, but to get into huge debt like those poor students in the US, it sure doesn't :evil:
In the IT field for instance, because the demand is so high right now, those of us who actually have a degree in this field are a minority :!: But I personally am not sure if this trend will continue.
Anyway, what is most worrisome is what the hell do we encourage our kids to become? Believe it or not, being a criminal at this moment seems like the most rewarding position. Ok, I'm not talking about being a junkie that just kills an old lady, I mean a white-collar criminal that steals millions of dollars and then does the minimum amount of jail time, if even that and in the end has more money than you would make in 10 lifetimes. How 'bout that?
It seems stupid, but I don't want my kid to tell me in 20 years hey dad you know how you taught me how te be polite and honest? Yes, of course I do pumpkin. Daddy wants the best for you. What happened? Well dad I just found out that is just a bunch of shit, I have a low income job as a [teacher e.g.] and I barely afford rent, nevermind to buy me a new house![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
