Sumpah abis lulus S1 Akuntansi gw pengen langsung ngambil S2 Ilmu Ekonomi (which was my actual dream major) tapi takut dijudge “work shy,” “not brave enough to handle real world pressure,” and “prefer to be coddled in the safe environment of school”
in Shanghai and told my 24 year old cousin that in the US, young people are worried they can’t get jobs because of AI. he scoffed and replied "in China young people can't get jobs because there are too many people”
Until you go to university/college, you'll never understand why people go to such lengths to celebrate completing their degrees (celebrating for weeks/ months).If you've never had the sleepless nights, academic exclusions, losing funding, failing modules, having to skip meals because you don't have enough to eat, you won't get it. We are not celebrating only obtaining degrees. We are happy for hanging on & making it out alive, it's a dreadful journey.🥺
