Harvard is free, dude (unless your family makes more than the average family income in America). The richer a school is, the less it needs tuition.
Also, parker: the financial burden you put on your parents is nothing compared to the shame of their son not doing anything. Parents don't raise kids as financial investments, but emotional ones. They are paid when their children succeed in life. That success doesn't have to be entirely financial, but it's certainly not playing video games.
I don't have any particular ill will against you, but you don't seem as apologetic about it as Simon Belmont, or as eloquent as him and The Troops.
I've spent a month here or there unemployed and out of school, and a few months living with my parents after college. I've always received some financial support from my parents, though at this point in his life my brother was going to a 30K a year college on my parent's money, so I don't feel too guilty. I'm working towards being self sufficient.
In general you SBers just aren't ambitious enough. You shouldn't be resigning yourself to anything until your start knocking up women and having to get a boring 9-5 to support the kids. Surely as children you wanted to do something (design video games, become an astronaut, whatever), and even if you've been discouraged, it's better to work towards an impossible goal than nothing at all. Hell, it's better to work at Mickey Ds than nothing at all.
Also, I was a lazy, nocturnal high schooler and I found I can wake up at 6 AM to work 8-14 hour days. Stop underestimating yourselves. |
