College as Trade School is another example of the commodification of modern life spills over into post-secondary education in alarming ways. The historic benefit of college previously included the perceived civilizing effect and greater awareness of the sweep of history and human progress. That aspect has been reduced in the headlong rush toward getting one's ticket punched to enter the workforce in a more favorable position. That is basically like getting a Fast Pass to jump ahead in line at an amusement park, only some readers and riders will get nauseous from the event.
If you dare to think about education for education's sake, or the immense satisfaction and richness of learning and appreciating a world beyond your immediate surroundings, then you will be ostracized in the 'get ahead now because you will miss out' ethic that is the hallmark of the current zeitgeist.

Demographics is destiny.
Sic transit gloria mundi.

Stimulation brings her pleasure, and may be done either manually or with your penis. For best results using the latter, put a pillow under her rear end to elevate her hips, and you will find that each push will tickle her fancy like nobody's business.
When using manual stimulation, imagine that you are with Penelope Cruz or Salma Hayek and try using the index and middle fingers together like you were playing Spanish guitar, whilst using your thumb or your tongue on the clitoris and related naughty bits.
