So, a lot of men went to college, got degrees in computer science having been sold the abject lie that higher education means greater job prospects, only to find programming as a career has been repealed because AI. They now have expensive college loans to repay and the same job prospects they did as a high school junior.

What's a therapist going to do about this? Other than, you know, waste your time and take your money.

Help you understand. Make new attainable goals. Find some peace. Change your mindset. Therapists aren't wizards, just like doctors don't just make ailments like cancer just go away. They help us heal as much as we can and then treat whatever symptoms linger. We do as much good as we can. I'm sorry society did this to you and to us.
