I agree.
Just listen to the lyrics of the song Working Class Hero
When I was young, I was taught to get A’s in school,
then go straight to college, then get a career, wife, house, and kids.
I did all of that. Now here I am, 30 years later, unemployed, separated from my wife, my stepson won’t talk to me anymore, and my own son is quickly drifting away. Oh and yeah, my old house is falling apart and I can’t afford to repair it.
And yes, I suffer greatly from depression.
Working Class Hero indeed.
