Meritocracy Does Not Really Work Without Contacts

O. K., I have not blogged for the last few weeks because I am supposedly busy working on the "American Dream"--Yea, right! It is amazing how capitalistic industries such as the student loan corporations continue to make money off students by utilizing education to undermine them. For example, I believe that I have done everything possible to accomplish as much as I can in this life. However, I am still struggling like most of my friends. I am currently one year away from my PhD and my friends have their Juris Doctorate and are still finding it difficult to secure employment and repay their loans. It is my personal belief that it is a crying shame that our society makes false promises of better life for its citizens who are educated, yet cannot deliver on good jobs and a dependable economy. If I knew then what I knew now, I would have possibly choose a different path in my life. I am not saying that each path does not come with its benefit, but sometimes the cost is not worth the reward. I am just too tired to even continue this topic--it is disappointing to even consider the struggle ahead for future generations
