The thing is, we've infantilised adults. I'm middle-aged, I look at a 22 year olds and see a kid and I remember what a god-awful moron I was at that age and part of me feels sort of bad for him. But if I go back a generation, my parents, most of my aunts and uncles were all fully functioning adults at 22. Many were married or about to marry, some were already parents, all had proper jobs and saving to buy a home. They were grown-ups, not living out and extended childhood where they had adult rights without adult responsibilities.
I'm not fully anti-college, some career fields need further education, but I am anti the expectation that everyone goes to college even if it means doing a bullshit degree, because it puts an artificial pause on growing up. It's four years of largely partying and it gets boring because it's largely meaningless, and when life is meaningless, you end up desperate for something meaningful, and for so many people, that becomes leftist activism.
