I wonder why they hated school. Maybe the problem was the school and not the topic? Otherwise I feel sad for them disliking the topic they chose as a career path :(

I feel like there's so much interesting stuff out there, there must be something useful that they find at least interesting.

Do they not do the Iron Ring ceremony?

They might not be American - I don't think anywhere else does the iron ring thing....

At my university in the US it was optional and cost money. I was broke so I just didn’t do it. It was also framed as a Canadian thing we were starting to offer

Good job anon. Now take a long break and get back to it when you have your long term goals sorted.

Til 22-year-olds have long term goals

That's what the long break is for.

Imagine being privileged enough to take a long break and have long term goals.

Oh yeah, it's an absolute thrill to crash on your friends couches and work menial jobs to buy weed.

Sure he can jump right into the workforce but the guy said he feels like getting released from prison. I'm suggesting he just bum around for a bit.

Yes, schools are prisons. Their purpose is not education at all but rather indoctrination, filtering, privilege, control, etc.

Are you struggling with your maths homework, sweetpie?

As a rule, strong feelings about issues do not emerge from deep understanding.
