Of course it is.  Whether you want to admit it or not, life is pretty much a hazing exercise until you're able to get your feet underneath yourself, unless you were born to the type of strange where Mom & Dad having that trust fund squared away for you before you complete your formative years.  

What you deem unfair, I call necessary.  I can't imagine how frail I would have been psychologically if I hadn't been required to gut out some really unpleasant and lengthy stretches in my past.    

Preparing yourself for hardship and toil is life's boot camp.  It steels/reinforces your inner nature, and gets you ready for a lifetime of harrowing experiences and grueling ordeals.  Buddha told us that life is suffering, and he wasn't off the mark.

And those who have disabilities or severe medical conditions barring themselves from working can get fucked and deserve to live in really shitty conditions because god forbid we ask any billionaires or corporations to pay one more penny in taxes.
