    Like five years ago, I was a laborer, and I started having a panic attack in the morning before work. I called my boss who was also my friend.

    He was sympathetic and told me to just come in to work anyway. I couldn’t move.

    Later that year, I quit and went back to school for four years, and now can’t find a job.

    Why is life like this?

      Both my spouse and I paid to have our CVs professionally written, job coaching, and it paid for itself in the first couple of months. Not America though.

      Because we’ve tied all value to capital and the only capital most people start with is their time. Aside from changing the system which I do support, the only thing you can do is play the game the best you can while minimizing the abuse of others.
