yes, except I didn't go the college and I come from a prole family. you can still kindle a love the arts though, its just pop-brow won't appeal to you anymore. try reading "this sporting life" or ted hughes. plenty of proles writing about the condition.

That's what you get for being born with any marketable practical or intellectual skills, and choosing to get a degree that isn't either.
I got a history degree, but at least I made it 'marketable' by combining it with a degree in French and German, and by specializing in the history of international relations. Now I am employed in diplomacy with experience in foreign policy and diplomatic consultancy.
TL;DR: skilled people will always find a good job, regardless of their degree or lack thereof.

Dude thats the way the game works, you start in the shit and work your way up. Yeah obviously you can earn more welding now but twenty years down the line those people who chose to eat shit in the internships will have cushy high paying jobs while you're working your ass off.
