I am not a student (so, also not a pothead student). I do not agree that you need to have a real job+marriage+kids+mortgage+car payments+etc in order to have a 'real life'. Because if I did have all of those - I would be forced to do whatever bullshit job I had instead of trying my own path.

I do agree this article was a poorly conceived article though.

And, you'd have to post whiny comments here trying to get people to Follow Your Path to make yourself feel like you made the right choice.

Instead, most of the site already agrees with your choices ;)
