I'm not in America but let me tell you that it's not fun even in Europe. What's the point? Work 5 days a week, 8 hours turn to 9-10 depending on traffic and commute, go home, be tired and lazy to do anything and the time funnily passes like crazy and then go to bed to do it again tomorrow. All of this for that wage which is not even enough with the inflation nowadays. We're becoming slaves of corporates and business. Work work work, save as much as you can while paying the student loans (not as crazy as America but still a loan) then later get mortgage to buy a house and still in more debt..
What the hell is this? Nah for real, life like this fucking sucks.
Yes, I don't work in a great industry actually, so I'm doing my hardest to get the fuck out of there.
