>> Until you realize that unless you play a perfect hand with every dime, the slightest expense can cripple you at a moments notice.

From orientation to graduation, the message is implicit in every tone of voice and tilt of the head, every old-school tradition, every article in the student paper, every speech from the dean. The message is: You have arrived. Welcome to the club. And the corollary is equally clear: You deserve everything your presence here is going to enable you to get.

You're literally just reiterating the arguments the article makes except with a clearly visible chip on your shoulder.

Edit: Perhaps you should make your statement in one post instead of editing over and over again. You seem far too emotional to make a rational argument here.
