Americans are taught from birth to only care about work. It's sad. If all you want to do with your life is work, you should be dropping out of school and getting a job as quickly as possible. Higher education should be for people who actually enjoy learning.

This is so backwards. I think you'll find a pretty significant overlap between advocates of (free) college and people who hate how much we work. I'd love to not have to work at all (or work way less) but until that becomes an option, if ever, going to college might be the next best thing for a lot of people. You go to college in the hopes that you can get a sought-after job that pays and treats you decently well, instead of being stuck in dead end shit hovering around minimum wage and needing to work 60 hours a week just to maintain a subpar standard of living.
