Default Sad

Remember reading history books that talk about getting an education followed by decent employment for decent pay, maybe even enough money to buy a house for your family, or perhaps a new Chevy? Maybe your father, granfather or uncle even got a degree and a good job and was able to amply provide for his family and can share how that made him feel. Those were the days, huh.

Today: go work your ass off at a top school so we can hire you for a [censored] wage and even explicitly advertise that you will "reasonably be expected to be worked like a dog for low pay," and not have money for decent sleeping accomodations or healthy food.

What a sad state of affairs, really.
