guys, my therapist likes to butter me up by constantly comparing me to the “smartest client she’s ever worked with” she loves to tell me how he went to cornell & did his post-grad at harvard, but here’s the thing: he’s 56, lives alone & waits tables at a diner now tell me: what, on gods green earth, am i supposed to do with this information?

I don't know but I can tell you that she just described like 60% of that generation that are highly educated. The job market literally disappeared for anyone over the age of 40 w/ post-grad education. 50+ and if you're not already retired or self employed, you'll be waiting tables or checking groceries. Has nothing to do with wealth or happiness.
