Admittedly, this might be a bit of a hot take - but it was nice to wake up to the top of the news being Warren and Sanders.

It must be reflective of Boomers’ collective guilt that this stings so bad and unlike GenX, y’all don’t take their criticisms to heart - good for you! That or it’s all just crocodile tears and pearl clutching.

In 2011 I completed a very expensive and useless masters degree in biology (following a hard-to-say-it-was-ever-worth-it undergraduate degree in biology). In late 2015 I was unemployed and unemployable. I endeavored to wheel barrel my way into web development without academia. I was 38 years old. I’ve met people along…

I went through a similar-ish thing.
