As the U.S. Department of Education will resume collecting on defaulted student loans, borrowers may face wage garnishment and see credit scores decline.
Speaking as a Millennial who has worked at several colleges;
GenZ didn’t fuck themselves, they were fucked by GenX and older Millennials… AKA their parents and, to a certain extent, educators. Who, for some reason, decided to not pass on a single fucking skill they were taught as kids.
Seriously I have been around people just 10 years or so younger than I am who cannot make change, read cursive or analog clocks, or even use a mouse.
I can’t look at how GenZ voted in the last election and pretend like they didn’t fuck themselves.
I get that public education plays a role and that’s largely up to their seniors and government to provide, but self-education is also a thing and a lot, if not most, of what I know in life was through self-education. And in the year of our lord 2025 everyone has access to all human knowledge, so not self-educating is a failure on the individual’s part.
You don’t have to be a genius to make smart decisions for yourself. You just have to have eyes and ears and use them responsibly.
I agree but I feel that you are missing the importance in being educated on how to learn. Having access to all of human knowledge means nothing if you don’t know what to do with it.
The large majority of the people I am referring to in my previous comment seem to be allergic to learning or at least convinced that the learning part of their life is finished.
Bullshit. You’re the one responsible for your own education. Half my teachers were lazy, ignorant shitbirds but I’m still a functional member of society.
