Money and education (freedom)


· When you enter this world, you don’t get to choose whether you are going to be part of a wealthy family or not.
· Some people don’t have the choice of having money or not, they either have it or not.
· There are some people who are able to work their way out and get a decent salary or scholarship to go to school, but even so, you still need to have something to give out. You even need luck to get through height school, and then go to college and then you could say you have a chance to either make money or not, but that is a long way to survive and have people helping you or not; if you are one of those who’s got nothing, who left from zero.
· Poor people usually tend to want to go to school. The first few years it’s free, up until 8th grade, so they are going, they are trying, they like it and they want to continue, but after that, no one cares if u can go further on into the game. What they care about, is, do you have the money to do that? And that is the problem, there are people who are probably capable of being an A student through out of college, but most of the time, they’ll never know because that’s why they are poor, they don’t have the money to do it, that is when they depend on others.
· Rich people or people, who can afford going to a higher education, don’t put much value into it. They already have the money, or their parents do, but either way, there are founds to support them and give them all they want. Basically what they do is to consume without producing anything.
· It is funny how those who can do something with their lives, they either don’t care or just take the chances for granted and those who don’t have a choice but to starve or live at a minimum financial situation, are sometimes fighting a whole life to get a decent way of living, not worrying about what they’re going to put on the table tomorrow.
· What I am trying to say, is that … I am not the materialist kind of person, but what I realized lately, is that you need the money, and as long as you have it, it’s ok, if you don’t have it, then it’s another game, you are living to make the money to be able to live. Once again, people who want to do something with their lives, most of the times, don’t have the money to do it. School costs, and that it’s not cheap, is unfair. On top of that, some governments don’t support any costs. Those who have no idea what they want, their families already have the money, so they don’t see the point of going to collage if they have all they want with no effort, just by asking. Sometimes they are the problem, and they are the ones who are pointing fingers and laugh at those who don’t have the financial situation but what to make a change, and they call them names because they actually have a will in life, but it’s not like that, not at all, probably most of those who are bullying around won’t have a future on their own and maybe, why not, at some point, they are going to depend on those who worked.
· Money is needed in life and education is necessary, so these two go hand in hand, but when u have one, you don’t really want the other one, but when you don’t have both, you fight until you get at least one, unless you please with little.

  1. Thea,

    The thinking here begins to hit on the complexities of the capitalist system you live within. Lets keep developing this idea.

    You need money or education, but you can't get one without the other. This type of symbiotic system keeps you under control. Be good or we won't give you job, we will kick you out of school, and you will be miserable. This is exactly the type of system that frustrates Guy Montag, Mr. Savage, and Bernard.
