      Volunteering is a common graduation requirement for American high schools and liberal arts college courses.

      Got to get them nice and docile for corporate drone life while they’re still in their formative years.

        This is completely incorrect. It is not common at all (honestly I doubt it exists anywhere) to require students to volunteer work for a damn convenience store, or anything of the like. Some might require volunteering with community programs and non-profits, which has nothing to do with making anyone “docile” for future employment. Keep your crap cynicism to yourself and leave proper volunteer programs alone.

            While highly abused, internships are narrowly defined by law as educational and not the same as volunteering. I’ve also never heard of high schools requiring them. Usually a requirement for some college/uni degrees.

        Ah, yeah didn’t think of this. I volunteered cleaning garbage from nature to get those hours. Seems kind of weird to go work for a corpo for free but I don’t wanna judge people’s options too hard.

          Yeah if you’re gonna volunteer, do it for something less soul crushing. You got the rest of your life for the soul crushing work.

          Did you do it to get your diploma? Or did you do it to maintain membership in the National Honor Society or the Student Council or some such?

            It was a specific class at community college. I’m pretty sure it was some sort of “college success” course.

      Why steal, sell the goods and go to a dealer and buy oxycodone when I can volunteer here and just steal Oxy.
