When listings for unskilled or low skilled jobs state things like "must have a degree and be able to life 50 lbs" then I think you can conclude there is a problem with the system.

Blaming the parents or primary school is useless because this person had no control over who their parents were or what school they went to.

I'm glad you had some self awareness at 18 but that isn't the norm as we can see from the rising student debt.
