No, I could have definitely fucked up in school. Trust me, I did for a year at college and paid for it through the nose making up the skills in my computer science classes.

Meanwhile, other bumfucks I knew (and partied with) never woke up and smelled the coffee. They have no real skills but with my help nailed down some Mr. Fixit computer jobs after 2 years of not being able to find one. One still boozes all his money away and will sit at about 40k a year until he decides to get serious and do something meaningful. The other? VMware certified and making as much as me -- no college degree, just tech certs.

I don't need to pay for people who either can't get with the program or choose to take the "oh I can never improve my mess of a life, you don't know what it's like!" crowd. There's people who have sleepless hour jobs out there and they should only be pulling their own weight.

Not to mention kids (and even parents sometimes) in the shittiest demographics work their asses off to ensure bullying of kids in school to keep their grades down so they can continue to complain/get hand outs and keep the bar down.
