every year i pay money to the public university system in this country. i pay them a bunch of money so they can teach me stuff and grade my stuff and give me credit for the work i did / the stuff i've learned.

only...

over the years... the courses get shitter and shitter. i mean... my supervsior is making up one just now on the difference between pseudoscience and bad science. because those are particularly valuable things to be learnign about, one can only suppose...

and the grading gets shitter and shitter, too. i mean they will assess you on content they haven't taught you (as in, ask you to answer questions they are wondering but don't know the answer to -- in science, i mean) and / or they don't seem to have any system of grading and / or they seem to just give students grades based on their previous grades (so there is no possibility of working your way up).

and teh qualifications... are now becoming some online thing. where apparently the university reserves the right to... revise things. down the track. it really will get to the point wehre qualifications expire over time. or where grades are... demoted... or revised downwards over time. something like that will be next. you will need to pay continual stream of money to the computer systems to keep your qualifications online... not paying to upskil but paying to...

and i throw money into this nonsense each and every year.

only it is just numbers on a page. student loan debt to the government here. the government pays some sum to the university so vice chancellors and high university officials can earn salaries in excess of $100,000 per year while students... watch lecturers on tv in classes of upwards of 1,000 students or learn about the difference between phoney science and bad science... or learn about how reading writing and arithemetic is culturally inappropriate for our culture / society.

but it keeps me off of the 'unemployed' list. if i was 'unemployed' i would need to go to continual seminars and meetings and so on on 'how to write a cv' and 'how to do a budget' and i would be offered jobs like ones that require me to work in teh airport for 4 hours from 12pm to 4am that pay $15 an hour and charge $10 an hour in parking and where i need to launder my own uniform (to be purchased by me from their company).

it's a system that keeps people off of unemployment.

so our unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the world!!!

because we are the best country in the world in which to be a child... stuck in school forever... learning about bad science and fake science or whatever...

working our way...

working our way...

why labour?

why did i have to be born?
