Thanks for all of the answers and comments. I don’t really want to mark this answered yet because I feel like there is still a lot people want to say. But in reading all of the answers and a lot of the comments, it sounds like it is an extreme reaction to all of the problems that come up in life. Whether those problems are the sometimes overwhelming burden of paying bills with a $10/hr job because your degree isn’t getting you any jobs even though you were told all you’d need is a degree but no one ever told you that you’d need experience, or it is the feeling of helplessness because the ice caps are melting, or the fact that we have to get a job, buy a house, have kids, buy a dog, and two new cars every 5 years because car companies are designing cars to die so we have to buy more and then somehow raise this family and work our asses off and save money for retirement because there won’t be anything left in social security when it’s my turn but I still have to take a vacation every year with my family. But mostly it sounds like a “general frustration at being underprepared and then under appreciated for getting it done despite the odds and thank god for the internet because it is the only place I feel heard and understood that I can still afford to visit and vent.”
