Many people seem to work solely to earn income. I feel like this is a common work arrangement.
Others work to make income and intellectually and emotionally satisfy themselves. Perhaps you're in this camp? If so, I'm with you on that one.
Granted at some point of income, a certain amount of income without personal fulfillment is preferable to me due to the delayed gratification possibilities.
Well isnt the alternative is to stay in the hospital longer and increase the costs? Granted I have no idea what the conversation or recommendations from the medical staff were.
I dont want my school hustling me down the likeliest path to become corporate cannon fodder at ABC Corp when I'm trying to build a startup. Not everyone goes to school to "get a job".
N=1 here, but I had 0 use for the counselors in high school or college.
In retrospect they handled some registering paperwork for me, but they also planned my coursework for me as if I were the median student.
In high school I had to press the counselor to make more AP courses than she thought was wise. In college, it was more of a rubber stamp thing, where the counselor just approved my choices because they lined up with degree requirements.

Other than officially validating that my classes met the degree requirements, there was no value add. I'm glad to see someone at the helm realized a computer can do that just as well or better.
In the United States, compared to all countries I know of, there is huge aggregate care for the poor on the private individual, NFP organization, state and federal level.
The baseline quality of life, again relatively speaking, is enormous even if your income is below the federal poverty line. The environment is great, services “just work", and people are generally pretty friendly.
I think its ok to focus on the shortcomings because you can then improve them. But relatively speaking, I couldnt think of a better place to be poor.
Do you recommend this to solve sexual frustration? Honest question; it seems that's the interest of that subreddit.
