The Lost Generation
For fifteen years I’ve scalped tickets to pay the bills. But in January 2016 I almost managed a real career.

I'm sure you'll remember schoool/Uni being all expectation and no encouragement or assistance.

I grew up in Europe, so my school/Uni was no encouragement and assistance, nor any expectation.

Same, I just always saw it as the expectations are more of a given and that we'd be fine regardless. So any denigration or dismissal would be of no consequence. Which was honestly fine for me at the time, because I half believed it myself. They just failed to see beyond any given instance of it for the absoulte barrage of crap that it actually was. Justified in the moment but oblivious to the totality.
