To be (slightly) fair, the waiter was the one who initially brought up "finishing college" thing. The waiter basically tossed a stone at Timmy so he can throw at the waiter's glass house. If he was 43% wiser, he could have (safely) assumed Timmy was in the same financial boat as him (as everyone else). He might even have the power/privilege to call the police on Timmy for being unable to pay for his meal. But no, the waiter wanted the smarty-lips for once and took them too soon.

Sad thing is, now even graduating college can have you end up in a job like this. Myself, I was unemployed for three years after graduating, then worked another three years part-time in a grocery store as a cart wrangler, making no more than $200 a week after taxes. Now I have a full-time job in a fulfillment center (not Amazon, thankfully), having worked there for two years now, but the work is not in my field of study. But it pays well enough to where I was able to pay off my $31,185.52 student debt in one shot and have about $15,000 left over in my bank account. What irks me, though, is that employers in my field of study want experience in that field, but don’t consider the experience that I gained in college to be experience. But how does one get experience in that field if they can’t get a job in their field to begin with? Really, it’s a self-defeating cycle. Maybe if more employers were willing to take a chance on candidates fresh out of college, those graduates would be able to have more stability, happiness, and fulfillment in their lives. Sadly, I don’t see that happening anytime soon.

@@Mordecai02 In my field of study, employers are increasingly turning to AI to do the jobs humans do. Not that I blame AI, of course; rather, I blame the employers. Still, I do understand why. After all, why pay a human being tens of thousands of dollars a year and give them full benefits when a computer program can churn out the same productivity (or more) for free? While I do understand, I still don't agree with it.

Nowadays the waiter would be sobbing because he DID finish college.

The most unrealistic part of this episode is that all that only cost $200. Edit: Side note, y'all ever been babysitting a little kid or talking to someone and they point out something super obvious, but you have to play along and pretend to be impressed or oblivious because you don't want to be mean?

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: (Sympathetically) Poor waiter... I wish I could help him.

I remember watching this episode as a kid thinking this is what would happen if you don't go to college, and now I watched it again as an adult and it hit me so hard because my first part time job was a waiter 😢

Seeing this episode 20 plus years later as an adult, im understanding stuff that flew over my head as a kid. I guess things don't change much; it was tough for adults then, and tough as an adult now.

Timmy wasn't even offended by the waiter's assumption and surprisingly, the waiter was the one who admitted.

This hits hard even when you finish college. I could only imagine how much harder this hits for those that didn't finish it. Pathetic that now, there's no real guarantee that college will even get you a better paying job, much less out of these horrid dead end jobs.

This hits so different actually being in this position as an adult. And to make matters worse, unlike me, my wife *DID* finish college, and she still doesn't have the career she went to college for. So basically, this is probably gonna happen whether he finish college or not.
