I got this comment as a reply to my post:
You can get a job and do your math, too.
Other people do more with less, why can't you?
Answer:

Greed and entitlement.

I feel quite offended, that I have to care about someone else who “do more with less”. What does it have to do with greed? I do not get the thought process behind it.
I wonder if I am overreacting. I would feel better if they just said to get a job, but it felt more like they are trying to make fun of me.
EDIT: Thanks everyone for thoughtful replies! Now I feel a lot better - I was in very bad mood when I got the reply above, so I felt even more attacked. Still, I should learn to not get overly offended like this.
That sounds better. My friend is working in their field, but the positions are set up knowing that they’ll mostly be applied for by PhD students with masters degrees during their coursework, so they know they can pay like crap and they’ll take it anyway. All my understanding of these systems come from the US way, so it’s nice to know it’s better elsewhere.
