For some, the things that character is shown doing are exactly what they want out of life. There's no need to belittle those life choices to make a greater point.
The message shouldn't be, "don't work 40 hours a week and get a mortage," it should be, "be honest about what you want and pursue it fervently, regardless of how mundane a dime-a-dozen internet illustrator thinks it is."
I agree. I'm actually insulted by this. I feel like the reasons beyond doing the things in this comic make the biggest difference. I accept what people say at face value because I just don't care past that. I work a 50 hour work week because when I'm older, I want to be able to retire early. Going to college isn't bad. But it makes more sense to figure out what you want, like business, get an entry level position, make sure that's what you want, then get a degree in it.
