    I wish my high school had this program when I was there. We were all getting pushed to work on computers and shit and I wanted to part of it. I remember teachers actually saying “if you don’t learn about computers you’re gonna end up being a plumber or garbages man” fuck I wish I made as much as garbage men and plumbers do.

    My school looked down on and shit on labor jobs so it was never pushed on us as an option.
