    I am so glad I got two college degrees simultaneously and was then overworked by the private sector so badly I had a mental breakdown and was then misdiagnosed for years and can now never enter the workforce in my given field due to missing half a decade of work.

    Now I get to be told by literal, actually illiterate morons to focus on my grindset and have a positive outlook, whilst browsing through ghost (fake) job applications that all have 200 applicants and a 4 month interview process.

    … I’d been saying the average American has a 6th or 7th grade reading level.

    Now it looks like I gotta knock that down to 5th or 6th grade reading level.

    EDIT: Somehow this does not exist in this thread yet:

      When I designed store fixtures, the assembly instructions had to be written at a 3rd grade reading level, and even then were barely followed.
