This was the first thing that really hit me hard when I started on my first job as a kid. I'm here at this place (grocery store) doing shit that I don't really want to do and when my shift is over and I go home, my day at work cannot be replaced. I'm giving them my time and my youth for a little money? And what would I have to show for that spent time? Me stacking shelves and moving pallets around for somebody else. And then I heard people talk about how they've worked there for 20+ years. That kind of scared the shit out of me. Is it really worth it to spend upwards of 50% of your life inside a freaking grocery store? You suck away your time and then you get some measly money for it in exchange. Is it really worth it?
