You get a piece of paper at the end that proves you’ve gone through the class barrier hurdle successfully, thus demonstrating that you’re not one of those filthy poors, so you’re eligible for one of the good jobs.
Not even that these days. The good jobs are for people with connections. Those who made it through based on merit are more likely to end up as office drones that can be let go if the CEO wants a higher quarterly bonus to spend on gold trim for his third yacht.
Well, that’s what they mean by one of the ‘good jobs’.
Because, sure, that still sucks ass. But at least you’re not sweating like a pig and getting skin cancer while mowing lawns. At least you’re not pissing in a bottle and stepping over dead coworkers for Amazon. And at least you’re not getting physically assaulted by irate customers who are mad at your employer’s terrible policies in some shitty dead-end retail place.
Until those layoffs happen, you get to work in an air conditioned office. You get a chair to sit in. You might even get lunch breaks sometimes!
