Two years later, he still doesn't have a regular job, and he didn't use my starting salary of 4000 to get promoted and raised step by step. He doesn't have any savings, and the money he earns every month is not enough to go to Internet cafes to play games and buy equipment. He will call me and tell me some things he has encountered recently. Listening to people and things far away from me, I suddenly feel that reading is very meaningful. It keeps me away from those people and things.
He is now an apprentice in a small restaurant. He is bullied by cooks with low wages every day. He talked about a girlfriend who was hot and cold to him. She has no savings, likes playing games in Internet cafes, and basically belongs to the moonlight clan. She is confused about her future every day. He told me that everyone who enters the society will say: students are the happiest. He said he wanted to come back to study, but it was impossible.
Take me for example. I am not sure about my future, and I live in turmoil and anxiety every day. But I'm still glad that I went to college. My life can be temporarily freed from those trivial things, and there can be poetry and distance. Students are the simplest. Besides studying, we basically only have to play the coquetry, play with roommates and play the coquetry with our parents, as if we were children. In order to buy a lipstick and a beautiful dress, scrimp and save for a month, and find various extra jobs and part-time jobs for post-holiday travel and holidays.
Besides, the circles we live in are really different. Obviously, we are the same age, but the people we know are completely different.
I have a good life now, better than him.
