How the fuck do I cope with the fact that if you fuck up your HS/College years, you're pretty much dead to rights? Basically 6-8 years during a time where you aren't even a fully developed adult are crucial to setting your trajectory for the next 5-6 decades. It isn't feasible for most young adults to just go "yea I didn't do well in school before, but now I'm ready to go back again and really try!" unless they're lucky to have people who can financially support them. I see so many of my friends becoming doctors or getting law degrees and I'm sitting here at 25 with two meme humanities degrees and a job that I hate (pays well, but it's focused on softskills and I feel like a useless eater).
