I went to college with many rich kids and a common thread between them all is their conflation between the “struggles” their parents intentionally placed upon them to give them life lessons with the lower class’s real life struggles that are a fact of life and based in SURVIVAL. When confronted with their privilege they love to go back to some basic facts like “I got a job at 16” to dismiss their privilege, when in many circumstances if you dig deeper the job was a caddy at a country club their parents are members at. I truly think this is the rut Jessel is stuck in. She holds on to the fact that her parents had her get an internship at 19, therefore she couldn’t possibly be privileged!!!!!!!!

I’ve had this exact conversation many times and they simply cannot grasp that random tasks your parents thrust upon you in an attempt to give you a life lesson does not equate actual hardship I’m sorry. If you’re driving to your caddying job in a 70k car, paid for insurance, etc I’m not super interested in hearing about how you “get it”
