Money has replaced God, even in churches where the preacher stands in a 1000 dollar suit asking for cash
Money aint a score in some kind of game, you have a whole society who thinks "get rich or try dying" was a prophecy not a ignorant statement from an ex-drug dealer
you have entire TV culture based on how much you can earn (auctions/antiques/cars/houses/music), shows that glorify money, hell even some people here dont primarily choose their careers on what they will be doing, but how much its worth in cash and then openly mock Arts students and the like for their "worthless" choices while the best minds on the globe are figuring out how to get more people clicking on adverts for shitty companies with shit ideas.
may you get whats coming
"get rich or try dying" is actually "get rich or die trying"
Avarice has pervaded pretty much every country that has money so I'm not sure I'd agree with your sensationalism regarding "may you get whats coming".
I'm American, I live in Philadelphia. My girlfriend is an Arts student whose career I cherish very highly. I think the government is flawed but I also think people like you and me are to blame. I hate to be cynical but governments are the way they are because of what people have done. Saying it was the government is an amorphous scape-goat.
Not everyone gets to pick their dream job, come back to reality please. Even if you do find something you love doing, chances are you're going to have to sell it at one point or another so it kind of takes away from the innate pleasure of the job. People value cash because cash gives them power. Maybe you should look at America objectively by comparing it to every other contemporary culture. I'm presuming you don't know them that well though because it seems like your education has come primarily from the tv and the news (oh, the irony).
By the way, stop being so rude. It's one thing to buy into these crappy statistics, but it's a whole other thing if you forget what those so called 'worthless' companies do indirectly. On the contrary, I think your opinion is worthless.
expect nothing
