Skepsis
Now I have more time for me and a perspective of a better life here, not in the Paradise coming just around the corner.
Congratulations for your degree and the new job.
I heard the same lame "stories" 30 years ago - and in only a few years I will be a retiered worker (pensioner).
In 1968/69 I was a teenager, when the Awake promised me, that I will not grow old in this system and I should not go to the university.
BOLD LIE.
You've done everything right so far and the next step will come - if you are ready.
I made little steps for my fade - take all the time you need.
Best luck for your happy future.
