not reading all that but saw "i actually do agree with everything you said" nice to see we found common ground on not just letting these people get off with "studying all day" and being broke and having no friends, we should shame themhave you not seen selective school kids that don't do ANYTHING outside of school? by that i mean every part of their life, even the "hobbies" they have are to build up a portfolio for uni or future job prospects or something. and often these are the kinds of kids that are also loaded af. their lives revolve around their academic/extracurricular success and they're able to cope with all these commitments bc their parents coddle them and align everything in their life to be convenient for them e.g. taking care of personal chores so that the kid can study, dropping and picking kids up as much as possible to minimise time wasted etc. so yeah these types of kids def don't have jobs either.
i actually do agree with everything you said, especially about the money saving/making part tho, people should make money or at least save up if they are fortunate enough to have the time to do so. and yeah like you said people should do shit other than studying.
but my point is that there are so many kids out there whose whole life is just school, home, study, eat, sleep and repeat. also you are genuinely kidding if you think a lot of top selective school kids have jobs, or even if they do, that they do that job to save for the future. a majority of kids in selective schools live comfortably without having to earn themselves and some are extra loaded. so yeah by your own logic you can see how a lot of these kids don't understand a world where they have to hustle. the main motivation for people to work in selective schools is to do tutoring jobs and therefore have work experience for a uni side hustle lined up or to earn enough to have pocket money.
also some people are just poor and any money they earn is to spend on thing they need at that point so you can't genuinely blame people for not having a "reliable source of funds". seems like you're a bit out of touch here
