I agree with alot of what you're saying but you seem to be overlooking the same point that others are making over and over again.
Now, im not saying that you are working towards qualifications that are not going to be of any use to you but lets say for a moment that you are. Some people are.
Your waitress friends may not be working towards anything. They may not be working towards a career but they are working and earning money. You, on the other hand, are working towards a degree that you wont use to further your career and your chosen path has cost you thousands of pounds/dollars to achieve something that you will spend a large percentage of your adult life paying off and may need to take this kind of job or any kind of job just to help with that.
In that situation, who is really better off?
