This person doesn't realize how lucky he is

Not that long ago, I got in touch with some friends I haven't seen since elementary school. After getting over the shock of how much these people have changed since the last time I saw them, I asked them what they were up to. One of them, a guy who lives in Coral Gables, had nothing but negative things to say. But as I listened to his sob story, I couldn't believe how spoiled he was. He didn't realize how lucky he was and actually had the nerve to feel sorry for himself.

His family owns a good business that has been successful enough to build another store. So, in other words, his family is rich. Recently, his family promised him a good position as a manager in one of their stores, so his future is pretty much set. The only catch is he needs to go to college before he gets that position, which is understandable. But he whined that he didn't want to go to college, he just wanted to start working and receiving his close to 6-figure salary (his parents are giving him extra money to pay for insurance, rent or mortgage, gas money, etc.). He said that he could do that job with no problems because he's seen how easy it is, and if he had a problem his parents would help him. But his parents aren't giving the job to him unless he has a "stupid" college education. He doesn't even have to learn anything, he just needs the piece of paper that says he graduated. When I asked him how he was paying for college, he said that his parents paid for everything. So, not only does he just have to go to college just to get an education for a job that's being saved for him, but his parents are paying for it too. He doesn't have to worry about keeping a scholarship or anything. All he has to worry about is passing in the classes he chooses. So, this lucky son of a b**** just has to do his 60 credits with a passing grade, get his diploma, then work in a job he'll probably never get fired from. Poor him!

Wow! talk about ungrateful. There are so many people who struggle to pay their tuition. He does not have a clue how the world really is. Hopefully he will learn to be more open-minded in college.

-_- wow please slap him up and tell him to quit complaining. My parents don't even give me gas money, let alone a 6 figure salary!
