I mean yeah, the poetry degree probably won’t make you a lot, but you used to be able to depend on the local coffeshop (or starbucks) for 9-10 bucks an hour, which is enough to live away from home. Now the starbucks is hiring down on their luck gen-xers and boomers. It’s a valid criticism, but the jobs are finite in number, and the young post-grads don’t have the experience to compete in many cases.

I’m off to do laundry at my parents’ house now. Maybe I’ll hit them up for toll money, cash for Red Bulls and my “rainy day tat fund” on the way out.
