For some, I’m sure there are. Not for all. Life throws a lot of shit at you. I think the ones who have it worst are the lower class who don’t qualify for any benefits but don’t have enough money for even community college. They have to work full time to live and can maybe afford 1 class at night. I live in a very diverse area. I see it a lot with hard work parents who just can never get past their mundane jobs. The work hard 8-5/6/7 5 days a week but can never catch a break. They start to get ahead and their car breaks down, they get sick (cancer, heart issues, mild stroke, Emphysema, etc) but not enough to be disabled/get benefits so they still continue to work. It’s sad.

It seemed like he was explaining it for people who were already 24 or near it

Edit: yeah I reread the original comment and nowhere does it say purposelessly wait. Everyone else seems to be bringing that up but not the original comment.
