  1. Yeah but I bet it is super demoralizing that some of these people went to college got a fancy degree and have a certain expectation in life.

  4. Which is if you really want to get ahead in life. Get skills that people will actually pay for. Last I checked ai can’t do spot welding, pipe fitting, heavy rig diesel engine repair.

  5. Yeah has to be very demoralizing that a person who went to school got a fancy degree spent many moons trying to get into a prestigious university. And have a certain expectation of success in life. Because their parents before them and their peers got to have a small taste of it. Only to be told by their fearless leader that really he needs you to go and tend the rice paddies. Going to be a lot of high educate ditch diggers in China.
