Why does Flagpole think he's left wing? Has he still not figured out why poor people hate the Democrats? Why working people hate the bourgeois cultural crusaders in academia?
"Poor people" don't hate the Democrats. There are a lot of poor people in America. Their political affiliations cannot be easily summarized and obviously don't fit into the box you've constructed with that comment.

If it is harder today (and I don't think it is), that's still all the more reason to get a degree.
But it IS harder today, it seems. I thought it was hard in the late '90s/early '00s but today's college tuition rates are much higher as compared to living wages.
And I agree, I remember reading (during my HS/college years) how much more difficult it was during my time. Today, it seems even moreso.
Worried for the next generation after millennials. How did things get so bad ?
Access to cheap money is the primary reason tuition is so high. Interest rates are low, the federal government guarantees the loans, the Universities jack up their costs to the level that the student can borrow. Someone should be telling kids they shouldn't borrow 200k for an art history degree.
Nothing against women, but a lot of them are just better at networking and know how to work cliques, so they able to make connections better. And that starts in high school/college. A lot of the popular girls in HS have great jobs now b/c they understand social networks.
As a journo learning web dev and coding, I'm trying to become more marketable so that I can stand out. A lot of PR/journo types are women who got by with hard work and beauty, but if you don't have physical beauty you have to compensate by being more diverse/unique than them.
If you were/are a beta male who loved video games (I got away from that once I realized it wasn't reality and it wouldn't get me any girls) women will pick up on that intuitively and stay away.
Men: Get educated, get diverse and outwork everyone. Women are just as competitive as men, if not more so. Plus they are in charge of HR so you have to overcome that obstacle!
Men need to step up.
Women have taken all the good 50k-80k white-collar jobs, even if men still dominate the C-suites. Men are adapting and doing well in blue-collar jobs though that pay just as much, but the social stigma is there.
A man's role as protector and provider is under fire.
Ever growing percentages of women in college and male attendence in the decline? Seems like a great environment to get laid more. Grad school, here I come.
I'm giving your serious advice:
Spend your time trying to write exceptional papers that will get published or get you into conferences.
Stop pretending that you are getting A's you didn't deserve and you're just that good.
