the only thing I can be mad about my university years
is being stupid enough to believe in the "if you go to university you'll have A JOB guaranteed" mantra that was spouted to the youngins of my generation.
Yes, this was said regardless of degree.
arguably, actually going to university in the first place. it brought me absolutely nothing beyond more blows to an already abysmal self-esteem and lost years I could have done anything else and be somehow more productive. I graduated, but my grades were not good enough for grad school.
am I fortunate to not be in the US thus stuck with a debt I can't possibly repay with what meager salary (granted, a few of you would probably be like that shit ain't meager, but that is only recently that it got bumped up - I was doing minimum wage otherwise) I make off of whatever work I do that isn't related to my degree in the slightest? You bet I am.
However, that doesn't make me less angry at myself for being a gigantic tool nor does it make it the fault of humanity at large.
So carry on.
