Welcome to Capitalism

Today, I found out I'm failing school. Why am I failing? Because I work 60 hours a week. Why do I work 60 hours a week? To pay for school. FML

Fall

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

I'd say you're getting schooled.

Been there; done that. Hang in there however you can. It's worth it in the end. Good luck and yeah, it stinks now.

OP I think it's time to take out a loan and pay for school after you've graduated.

That sucks OP :/ I worked 32-40 hours a week throughout college but still had to take out loans to pay for it. And now I have to work 60 hours a week to pay off all my debt. My pretty degree hasn't gotten me anywhere.

I'm sure if anyone reads this I'll be down voted, but I think you deserve it. Take less classes, or do less work. I work 50 hours a week and am still on the Dean's list every semester. I'm also taking 20 credits a semester (13 is considered full time, 17 is considered a crazy amount of credits). It's not easy, but you just have to manage your time well.

the education system in this country blows. keep up the hard work man, you can do it. try taking online classes or spacing out your classes more, it might take longer but you wont get burnt out either.

This is messed up, because then you need school to get a good job.
