First degree was in econ but couldn't find a job and ended up working construction. Then I went back to school for nursing and work in a drug rehab making $30/hour and as a charge nurse in a nursing home making $31.
>16hrs a day
>5 days a week
Shit sucks but I live in a very cheap part of the country were you can live off of $20/hour easily so I'm saving a lot of money.
Why not invest in renting out apartments to hipsters in WA? They'll happily buy shitboxes near negro infested areas and even make the place nicer for you off of their meager barista wages.
Pursuing a PhD in microbio. Realizing that financially this is a shit idea (even if I get a $30k a year stipend + tuition waver) since after all the effort I put in, I'll still only probably make ~$80k a year
That's insane, how are you not burnt out? You must have a very strong goal for the future to stick by that routine.
it really depends! to be honest, i think you can bullshit your way into understanding and doing any job if you have the basic skillset and intelligence to be able to improve on yourself and some basic charisma, sense of humor, etc. there are the occasional windfalls, but you can really get a decent income off that kind of work once you find a few people who are confident in you to get things done.
just wait until i tell you i'm a brown asian trans lesbian who married a millionaire 16 year old girl who pays her rent! dabbing on wagecucks epic style
I was repulsed in the process of making a business. Figured I could find someone with the same vision, but all MBAs seem to want is money. Most of them don't even want to be an executive manager, they just want to work in private equity. The few MBAs that did want management were already so connected that they were being groomed by their wealthy family to take on the family business. I could probably walk on as a store manager with easy access to district/regional but they're wagies that just get paid a lot, and work well over 40hr/week.

Am I a meme?
I have an associates' degree in Culinary Arts and work at a dogshit nursing home in the kitchen. The job sucks but they pay me well, and I invest a shit-ton of my wages instead of wasting it on unimportant bullshit. In five years I should have a good amount of capital invested.
Thinking of starting a side business, but not interested in a restaurant or cafe or anything like that. Too much stress. Something to think about for the future.
Well the rehab job is pretty easy, I just hand out medications, guide little discussion groups and fill out documentation. The nursing home gig I mainly do woundcare, there's an 2 LPN doing all the meds and 3 CNAs doing all the cleaning. It's nights so I don't have to worry about anyone going to appointments or coming back and I don't deal with any mealtime bullshit.
11pm-7am nursing home
8pm-4pm rehab
5pm-10 sleep
Also I sleep for like 4 hours at the nursing home because between 1-5am there's fuck all to do other than give out pain meds and hope that someone doesn't die.
got any advice for a finance / econ double major with a 3.0 gpa graduating this spring? I just need a decent job that I can work at for a year or 2 and then build up from there.
