No. Since schools started becoming exclusively for training the next generation of laborers, arts is no longer funded.

Now, shut up and learn to pull that lever.

I love how the education system in several countries can be summed as "the people and govts paying to train up kids so they can work, because the companies sure as hell don't want to spend a dime training and preparing people to work for them"

Average rich people hobbies: Cocaine, tax fraud, genocide

Burning fossil fuels, underage sex parties, over throwing democratically elected 3rd world governments.

"Invest in Mentors"

Fucking clown always trying to sell his stupid shit

Take me to lunch pleeeeeease

Mentors can be a legitimately good way to progress your career; but 100% of the online mentoring services are bullshit.

Like, for anyone salaried in a corporate environment; pick someone ~3 rings higher than you on the ladder in a seperate department (e.g. Team Lead, Department Head, VP, GM etc.).

They will be familiar enough with the business to provide useful guidance, helping you build up not only your skillset but your professional network. Because, the dirty secret is - after a certain point, it’s not necessarily what you know - it who you know.

Any rich person born after 1993 can't party. All they know is gym, invest in they mentors, not work, be knowledgeable, do business, and lie.

Some of the most knowledgeable people I’ve meet were dirt-poor.

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 34 points 3 days ago

most academics/research roles. Huge competition, your life depends on winning grants, requires PhD and years of training, poverty-level salaries.

They must love their Job hobby

It's hilarious to me that, while the author is trying to own working-class people's poor choice of hobbies, what it actually does is show the immense privilege of people whose only hobbies are various forms of "self improvement".

[–] painfulasterisk1@lemmy.ml 43 points 3 days ago (2 children)

TIL, that Donald and Mush partying at Epstein Island is considered a hobby for the poor.

[–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Isn't musk posting on Twitter all day everyday that he is playing Diablo?

(Sidenote: did you know musk is one of the top players in the leaderboard in Diablo iv? Totally unrelated; Did you know you can buy yourself, through gambling mechanics, quite an advantage with real money?)

[–] ICastFist@programming.dev 3 points 3 days ago

It wasn't a party, it was a business meeting, involving business partners wink wink nudge nudge

He left off being a demerit to any society they touch.

Poor people hobby > Job

Rich people hobby > Business

I wish my job was my hobby and not a necessity
