Like five years ago, I was a laborer, and I started having a panic attack in the morning before work. I called my boss who was also my friend.

He was sympathetic and told me to just come in to work anyway. I couldn't move.

Later that year, I quit and went back to school for four years, and now can't find a job.

Why is life like this?

    Because we've tied all value to capital and the only capital most people start with is their time. Aside from changing the system which I do support, the only thing you can do is play the game the best you can while minimizing the abuse of others.
