cursed late stage capitalism. let's reduce everything in our lives down to ROI. this article feels like a symptom and not an answer for the problem of a required college education and it's astronomically stupid costs for working families.

Other articles soon to come:

* Are friends worth it? * Is family worth it? * Is doing anything besides making money worth it?

wtf are you talking about left-wing, there's no dialectical materialism or class struggle.
