What are some of those things?
There was someone on Ask Lemmy last night wanting to know what they should do in school for work. The comments were all depressingly optimistic, not quite seeming to grasp the devastating role of educational debt in the lives of graduates in an economy that does not even cover living expenses.
Just how I don't care if I "make it" or achieve social status in general.
How far does that go?
Like I don't need to drive a Mercedes, but I would like to have a professional identity. It's nice to say, "I'm an X" instead of "I work at Y."
A professional identity outside of property owner is provisional. Source: I am a jaded software developer who is experiencing pressure from the property class to redefine our professional identity to "meat puppet".
