I was soft in my earlier comment, but fine taking a rep hit.<p>This is not the only post recently where the topic is &quot;oh golly gee, look at the hardship I went through to get through college and the found something.&quot;<p>It&#x27;s a millennial post, and there have been many of them.<p>Going through college is a challenge ... Having to work or be responsible during such sucks (I interned at Borland as well as worked for an astronomical research company).<p>Post college, more than a few have to deal with life obligations that come up.<p>Our profession certainly offers a bit of a cushion and flexibility, but we have to manage that and our obligations.<p>I don&#x27;t see someone here whining about having to support their parents due to the last downturn or the many other personal decisions made.<p>The blog would have been better written as challenges met and overcome and left out the for lack of tact whiny bits...<p>Yes, coming from poverty has challenges, and friends in such stretched into their late 20s to complete a degree...but perspective and awareness of the wider world is needed... Not another post about personal insecurities..
