Fair enough. The SF bay area is one of the most costly places in the country in terms of real estate/rent. 55K here is a struggle wage, compared to a lot of other places, especially outside CA, then it's much better.

WOW! I definitely didn't have parents that contributed financially while I was in school, and even if they did have the money, my mother would have stopped paying the moment I pissed her off...
Sometimes it's better to have had to struggle to get what you need.

I never unsterstood how people think that's a lot of money. It's like when you were growing up and you heard kids talk about how $20 is a lot, when really it isn't shyt. I guess I had it good growing up
I was basically looking at that number as "classically middle class". Maybe I'm off by 10 grand here or there, but I think of that as pretty comfortable. I'm in Pittsburgh so that's probably even better here then a lot of cities.
I actually get a sense, just talking with the majority of people I know, that most young people are actually quite nostalgic for that sorta, 50's America kinda lifestyle (Minus the 'cism....
)Maybe that lifestyle was ALWAYS ultra decadent, and we are just finding that out now. I dunno.
Oh I see.
I was looking at it from the perspective that : 1) I'm not a criminal, 2) I'm not about that life, 3) I'm working on a second degree, and 4) I'm willing to risk completely fukking my life over for a salary that is pretty much middle class.
And to be fair, if you want to be thorough about it, my number would likely be closer to 35k anyways. Negotiate that bytch up to 40 and a nicca will walk out with his criminal start-up kit and a
look on his face....

I agree that at the very least, parents should ensure that their children have a strong educational background and willingness to learn...
IDK that I'd pay for my child to go to college just because I birthed them though...If my child isn't suited for college, why waste the money? We'd have to research other ways for them to be successful.

You have no clue how angry this makes me man. Folks out here unable to find work (many with degrees) so you say to yourself, "well, guess I gotta go back to school" and look at this garbage
