To get a job, you need experience.
To get experience, you need a job.
To be wealthy, you need a four year degree.
To afford a four year degree, you need to be wealthy.
It's a never ending cycle.

Society tells us that if we work hard, it will pay off.
Yet, if that's the case
Why did my parents work hard their whole life
Yet could still barely afford to put food on the table 1/2 the time?

Hard work doesn't pay off.
Privilege does.
Not the most poetic thing I've ever written, but society is really ******* me off these days.
