[CW: Sarcastic comments about self harm]
FUUUUCK OOOOFF
I'm sorry? Does getting into debt so I can PAY FOR MY OWN TRAINING FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOT FUCKING COUNT? Of fucking course not.
Oh let me guess, all the extra things I need to do to "prove I'm worthy" to our almighty employers is all stuff that is near impossible for me as a permanently exhausted neurodivergent person with no money?
Will I guess it's my fault for being born poor and given a slew of traumas as a child. How dare I want to pursue something I'm interested in and good at? What a fair, free and just society! I guess I should just burn myself out completely for chump change or die quietly in the corner.
I'm tired of hearing about employers "Not wanting to risk training employees only to lose them" when hardly any employers even do real training anymore, and no one talks about the risk employees take into going into debt for a degree. Getting a degree is already hard as it is and I don't even know if I'll ever get a return on that, so why should I have to be a super human for an employer to even consider me? Where's their effort?
Oh right, because this is capitalism and employers have the power, not me.
Isn't capitalism amazing? Every part of the economy wants people with experience but also no person responsible for that part of the economy is interested in training people and giving them experience.
Same with other stuff like housing and healthcare - every capitalist wants healthy workers who already have housing, but none of them want to provide any of that.
Should've been born rich and with no medical issues![emoji smuglord smuglord](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/97a4a756-428f-4517-846a-1c810805ad28.png)
my soon-to-be-ex institution has been rubbing shoulders with some dutch capital formation and man do those dutch love their smoke & mirrors theory of how to get the public to pay for the training the capitalists need while ensuring the gains developed by workers become new property of the already powerful institutions seeking rents.
powerful, brilliant mind stuff.
