I don't usually post threads so this one might suck, but it's something that's been on my mind for a while now.
With the NEET vs Wageslave meme floating around, it doesn't seem like either side is a silver bullet to happiness. Either your become a depressed degenerate with nothing to show for your life, or you bust your ass also with nothing to show for your life and no acknowledgement for what you've done.
Still there are people like Trump who are the real success story for working hard, so I've basically been doing everything I can to be one of the best in my field. This has basically resulted in me working until 3-4 in the morning on projects to learn and build my resume with the only real breaks being procrastinating and lurking Holla Forums, when the whole time I could have just been a degenerate playing video games, watching anime, and just barely meeting the requirements like everyone else.
The world seems so bureaucratic now that I'm starting to question what the point is. Based on the small business owners I've asked, it doesn't really matter what you do to rise above and beyond. You'll still be fed through the same process of "Get a shitty internship", "Get a shitty job", "Work your way up for 20 years before you actually become somebody". You can't even think about starting your own business until years after you graduate.
Seems like the only thing to do is vote Trump and indulge in escapism until he gets elected.
