I don't disagree that a lot is fucked up today, and I agree with the article when it mentions that the boomers are responsible. The boomers are worse than the millennials.

The thing is, college is the typical excuse today to explain failure and debt, and the article mentions it a lot. If the post was focusing on housing prices or un-refrained globalization I would be totally on board, but no, we have the typical millennial complaining that her mom and dad didn't tell her what to study to get a good job.

Ok, perfectly fair critique of the article. And I agree with your other points here. I guess it was about whether we talk about the article or about the real problems.

Regarding the article, the "I got a degree, why am I not wealthy?" nonsense is indeed the wrong thing to complain about if someone wants to talk about what's wrong with the system. College, especially the humanities, is a multilevel marketing scheme. And as with other such things, I still don't like victim-blaming. Someone getting into a pyramid scheme hoping to make it big is a nincompoop, but the real evil is the people pushing the scheme from the top more than than the suckers who cycle through the bottom rungs to keep the pyramid going.
