| It’s difficult to articulate the tedium and monotony of a Starbucks gig. There’s so little intellectual stimulation available in that setting. If you managed to learn more from your fast food than your humanities degree, then I think that’s on you for not paying attention at college (perhaps because you were exhausted from your job?). |

It's that earning a degree is an academic undertaking whereas working at a coffee shop is "real life". There is no need to treat one as more or less valuable/useful than the other. They're just different kinds of human experiences. Learning is possible from both. |

| Helping a mega-corporation make an extra buck is not "service to society". If you meant doing a service job at a small business, where you can have real ownership over how it treats its customers, I would agree with you. |

| But will it help those baristas pay off the student loans that paid for their philosophy degrees? |
