Just graduated and got a summer job making $18 and hour, i think it’s pretty good. The people are nice, the owners are kind and personable, and the benefits are nice too. However, today, my third week in, i find myself on the verge of a mental breakdown. The job is so slow and monotonous and despite all of the previously mentioned points, i dislike quite strongly.
Even at $18 and hour, an hour of my hard work and energy is only worth a taco from the food truck? 60 whole ass minutes, while someone else sitting procrastinating in a cubicle 50 ft away makes way more? It’s upsetting! I’m finding it hard to motivate myself to wake up and do that 8 hours a day for 5 days a week. How and why do people do this?
