wearethe99percent: I will be 30 this month.  I have a Master’s degree in education but cannot find a teaching job.  I have over $80000 in student loans.  For over two years, I have been working at a dental office where they don’t give me dental insurance.  My salary was recently cut by 10% - while my boss bought himself two new motorcycles.  I am disrespected, overworked, and sexually harassed at work by cannot afford to leave without another job to go to, which I cannot find. What did I do wrong? I am the 99%. For those who haven’t seen it yet; this tumblr has a very simple concept, but really hits the mark. Can’t help but feel very moved by all of the stories told. I’d love to do something photographic about the issues raised here, but at the moment I just feel it’s all a bit overwhelming. Maybe once we start sorting out all the problems I’ll be able to get a better perspective on it all (aftermath photography?).
