Starbucks Employee Breaks Down In Tears After Being Scheduled To Work 8 Hours (Page 5 ) | September 17, 2024

However, a 2021 Fidelity Investments survey shows it’s much more, especially when you factor in housing, food, and books on top of tuition.

Costs vary by school type. Public in-state colleges charge an average of $10,423 for tuition and fees for the 2022-2023 year, which is 74% less than private colleges at $39,723.

Out-of-state students at public universities pay about $22,953 annually.

With these high costs, it’s no surprise that 40% of full-time undergrads worked in 2020, and 74% of part-time students did too.

The burden of student loans is heavy, with 42.8 million borrowers in the US holding an average federal debt of $37,787. Total student loan debt in the country is $1.745 trillion.

So while everyone is entitled to their own opinion about the way this particular person is handling the pressure, I hope we all can agree that looking down the line and seeing such hardship can put an enormous amount of stress on you.

Another tweet read: „People in the comments defending bad work environment and abuse because they were abused too.”
