Is a age that is both full of, and devoid of opportunities. I feel like being a adult is just lying about how much you have your shit together to people who also lie about having their shit together. After we got out of college, we are just going to sit in front of a computer like the generations before us for the rest of our life, with the only difference of be paided less then them. I don’t want to be like this. I want my life to be more then this. I want to go out explore and change the world. When we gen z first comes to high school the world seems full of opportunities, we imagine us achieving great things, but not one of us could have imagined the entire generation having a mid-life crisis at the age of 18.
To all the Gen Z, and in the future, Gen Alpha. Welcome to the 2020s, welcome to late stage captalism.
Academics is where you go when you fail in the industry.
Tbf, I’m not sure many people succeed on industrial level Anglo-Saxon literature analysis.
Not just that but teaching and doing academic research. Think a guy doing math on a chalkboard. Not all are bad but sometimes you end up with people who are very book smart but not great with people.
