It isn't only the American dream. Ask Canadians and Europeans if they are being the same lines of propaganda. Go to school, get your degree, get your dream job, buy your larger than life home complete with the two car garage and swimming pool. And don't forget the the cars and other luxury toys such as boats, motor bikes, snowmobiles and RV's. And don't forget the mountain of debt.

Jobs are hard to come by in your chosen field so you end up taken anything that will pay the bills because you now have the family and the pets to support.

I personally have done that, got the T-shirt and the pictures to prove it. I left a lot of that behind about 16 years ago and I haven't looked back.
