as if nationalism for the crown & the city is something to be proud of... how embarrassing

You have to have a bachelors degree to even be considered for citizenship in many countries. South Korea for example

I'm kind of shocked at this, you must be really wealthy and/or out of touch. I make minimum wage at my current job which is 13.65 an hour in the state of Colorado. I make less now than I ever have before at any other job and I spent thousands on a technical degree. Many people all over the country only make minimum wage. Bartenders and jobs like that come to mind, they are often paid $2 or less an hour with "tips" that add up to minimum wage.
