Wow...

I'm a horrible person...my first thoughts after reading that was how the hell does she fit into any burlesque outfits and who the heck would want to see that.

That, and helps Trump IMO.

I've been in SE Asia for a week now (cool story bro! Hey spooge!) and you just don't see sickly bodies like that here. Americans are so fucking delusional if they think the status quo is going to be maintained with athe attitudes they have toward fitness and health.

Kill yourself if you worry about being killed in a terrorist attack.

I cry no tears for fuckheads who put themselves in this position. Da fuq kind of job is available for philsophy/history of science majors?!? I'm 99.9% certain she went to Europe and 'traveled' after graduation, too.

Ms. Spicer, who studied philosophy and the history of science at St. John’s College in Annapolis, Md., has had jobs as a barista, a taxi dispatcher and a deli worker. She has $72,000 of student debt and has never been paid an annual wage, she said, of more than $17,000.

It's the same if you look at photos of Americans from the 1950s. None are overweight and they look healthier, by and large, than we are today.

Philosophy Major dancing Burlesque? The delusion is complete. Colleges educate less and less, while brainwashing and deceiving more and more. I'm sorry, Ms. Millennial, but nobody wants to see you in burlesque, hire you, or fuck you. And it's not just because you're overweight and unattractive - that doesn't prevent you from getting laid. It's the wide gap between your view of reality and actual reality that sends any employer, date or potential fuck-buddy out the door as fast as possible. Burlesque. Goddamn.

No, you're not a horrible person. Honesty is STILL the best policy. We just don't practice it enough, because our society has become so mentally weak.

"She looks like a 1940s starlet..."


DISAGREE

Those women looked hot in the black and whites.

It doesn't even say she graduated. 90% of the time, when someone says they "studied" in this, it means they didn't finish.

Even if she did graduate, if she compiled $70k in debt and all she has to show for it is a degree in philosophy or history of science, then she deserves all the financial hardships that come her way.

I do love how she blames the government. The government didn't make her pick a major that has absolutely zero value when she gets out.

Victim mentality will ensure she is a loser for the rest of her life. Hopefully which is short.

She blames the government because she wants the "government" to pay for her debt. Typical Millennial, devoid of all personal responsibility.

I only worry about killing terrorists during a terrorist attack.

Poor Joe Smith was tricked into 100,000 dollars of student loan debt to get his degree in History of Non White Male Artists.

Then the poor old sod was duped into a mortgage for a house he can't afford which he furnished using the free credit cards that showed up in his mailbox.

Now he is hopelessly buried under massive debt while working for the new 15$ an hour minimum wager servicing the BurgerBots at McDonalds who do the work Americans don't want to do.

Intends to vote for Hillary so she will pick up the tab and give him the same fair shot that rich white and old Americans get.

PurpleJ

She should blame the government for guaranteed subsidization of her student loans.

Or for not "creating enough jobs". LOL.

Also....tl, dr and @Tequilla didn't even read it.

The future does look scary for Millennials. Not because Millennials are going to face more problems than previous generations, but because Millennials are pussies who are fucking scared of everything.

The article is one of the many reasons why I'm voting for Gary Johnson.

I actually read it but shouldn't have ... total waste of time ... could have narrated the article pretty quickly with just a few bullet points of fact to go off of

Just give them a couple more years...you'll see

Take it from me, you can avoid student debt AND get a good job, even as a history major.

These cunts made poor choices and should live with them.

If your aspiration is to be a burlesque dancer, what is the point of a degree you can't afford?

Maybe the push to get everyone into college is failing.
