I’m currently job hunting after getting “fired,” unexpectedly and it’s been wild.
How do people live while working so much? I mean, I’ve obviously been doing it since graduating high school, but all of this? For decades to come? That sucks.
I can’t imagine pretending to be passionate about some company for a few years. I’m of course exploring options like trades or going back to school to become certified in something, but doing the same thing over and over just to get paid and pay my bills makes me not want to live.
I feel like I had this idealized version of working since being a child. I feel like college was bs and meant nothing despite working my a$$ off. I thought I could have some dream career, but those dreams are too expensive. I can barely get by right now.
Also, in every job I’ve had, I was able to take time off, but could never afford vacations. So, I just work and unwind at home. That’s it.
Guess I’ll work a job for a few years, leave once I can’t stand it anymore, and repeat until I can (hopefully) retire. Yay so fun!
