you can still get the good job!!!!! That "" job would also start to pay off that 75k waaaaaaaay quicker than sitting at home doing nothing does. Be realistic! |
the 75k is paid off already, thank god.
the problem with getting a job is that i know i'll get stuck in a rut...
or maybe i'm just talking myself out of working bc i'm a lazy pothead. |

You could always get two jobs and try to work 70+ hours per week. Then that $7 / hr would get you $490 a week.

or because you have not known what it is like to be in the world without a safety net yet.
trust me when i say that many very smart and educated people work jobs (or 2)because they simply have to. Ends need to be met and people need to be taken care of. It is the realest thing you will learn when mom and dad are not there to help you.
i am not being mean here (for once)...you go get something in life or you don't have it.
that simple. |

yeah you're right, reality is a bitch when you've grown up in fantasy land... aka the suburbs.

I took the job I am at now because I needed money. It is neither what I wanted, nor in an industry I wanted to come back to, but it was easy to get. Hence why I interviewed and took it. |

Way too many kids with safety nets out there -- I am one of them. Sometimes I wish my parents had decided to pay for nothing past eighteen, but then I doubt I would have ever had the opportunity for the quality of education I have gotten.
We safety net kids tend to doddle around doing unproductive stuff like posting on boards and we just assume, whether we want to admit it or not, that someone else will pay our bills forever.

you need to stop comparing yourself to this image that you project onto your friends and peers. just because you assume everyone is doing so much better doesn't mean that they don't have to deal with also.

The only assumption I making is that I feel pretty confident in knowing when my friends are happy and when they aren't, and to that end those are the people who who I do want to be just like - the kids who are happy.
Everyone has to deal with, but it's rarely the same size pile. |

and now you can waste the check on 600$ jeans. @ ben
great success!
:p
I did not really want to move half way across the world to teach kids (i mean seriously...me and kids), but i put up with that to make contacts. Now i don't have to work too hard and was able to turn that into a business venture. Gotta put in that grunt work.

i mean this in the nicest way rob, but consider therapy. I am being serious here...your friends happiness has nothing to do with yours. |

I don't take offense at all, Jay. You've likely got an idea where I'm at right now. |

Something I am glad I don't, and never did, have. I enjoy knowing that I have had to bust my ass to have what I have the past 6 years.
