Why didnt take the school thing more seriously. I should have studied harder i could have been a dentist or programmer earning six figures but noooo my parents said money isnt important sweety just be happy. Thanks mom and dad.
Sigh
I want to quit this shit job. Ive never had a job ive loathed more in my life. I just need it for the time being to pay off some bills and stay afloat till i plan my next move but dear god do i hate this job.
I feel completely trapped.
Why didnt take the school thing more seriously...
So working at mcdonalds is what you thought would make you happy?
>works at mcdonalds for happiness
>i could have been a dentist or programmer
lol ok
why is it too late to be a programmer? you have the entire internet to educate yourself with, stop making excuses.
This, you don't need a degree to get a job coding. Just create a portfolio.
I Don't work at mcdonalds but a shit tier job. Infact id probably be better of working mcdonalds than this job.
Point is i should have pushed my self rather than listen to my parents talk about how money wasnt important.
I got this job because i have skills and i need money right now.
Honestly i now realize why so many people do drugs
..because...I have no*** skills
Being trapped in a playpen is all imaginary. There literally nothing stopping you from learning a skill and getting government gibs while doing it. Cucks I swear enjoy complaining.
To play devils advocate here, I took school seriously and am now 6 months away from finishing my internal medicine residency. I will be making around 300k next year and yet I am miserable because I fucking hate my career.
Don't blame your parents lazy faggot, besides only losers blame other people for their mistake remember that.
how did you end up in a place like this if you're so good at school.
Nigger, you're not making that much unless you went to Havard medical and you're an anesthesiologist.
OP, I'm a lawyer, and I work a settlement mill. I fucking hate it. I make 70k -- and I've only been in the field for a year. I should be making 100k by the time I'm 35. It's not going to get easier.
mate what? unless you have been living under a rock for the last decade of your life you must have skills. btw nothing is stopping you from programming. im going for my degree in computer science and 99.9% of this shit you could learn online from codeacademy or youtube or whatever. just code and one day you'll make it.
I graduated pharmacy school this year and quit my job because I hated it so much.
Gotta get one soon though
I'm going to quit my current job once I save a little more. What I do disgusts me, frankly.
Same.
Hope everything works well for you.
I actually have an opportunity for a central fill facility and it is so fucking better than retail.
You are still thinking like a poor fag shitter. It’s not what you make, it’s what you keep and invest. Get ANOTHER shit tier job, just grind hard and sock money into dividend stocks/bonds. Buy a shitty little apartment that you can rent out in 4 years when you can stop grinding so hard. It’s the same amount of work as trying to go back to school except you come out the other end +$100k instead of in the hole -$30k or more.
Medical school isn't quite like law school where prestige of school matters as much. Though 300k for an internist is on the high end, especially for someone who just hopped out of residency.
Your parents failed you but not by not guiding you towards money. They are actually correct, money is not important and you can and should seek happiness in your career regardless of money's involvement.
Where your parents failed you is not guiding you towards a realistic career which could at least pay the bills and actually make you excited about waking up every day. For example, I might $150k working for a tech startup. I make good money, more than I should with my meme degree, but I'm not happy. Meanwhile, I have a friend making $42k as a conservationist. He lives in relative poverty to me but every day he wakes up and is happy as a clam. He still found a woman who loves him and he goes out and works with his hands measuring soil and shit and camping in the woods taking amazing photographs of wildlife. I make nearly 4x his salary but he is happy and I am not.
It's never too late to change careers, but the further down the life rabbit hole you go the harder it becomes. I am married with a kid, a mortgage, etc. If I knew 10 years ago what I knew now I would have gone back to school for something that would have been a good backup plan because my plan at the time (being a musician) didn't wind up making me enough money to live off of and I got stuck having to take what I could get. Then I spent years just kind of tortured and only recently realized I should have spent all that time figuring out what my next move should be. Now I have to do it while taking much bigger risks, which I will, but I need to calculate more to reduce those risks and wait for the right time which sucks.
Stop being a pussy and find something that makes you happy and pursue it.
I heard pharmacy was oversaturated, any stories care to share?
The traditional pharmacist role is saturated but there are still areas in pharmacy that are underserved. Academic pharmacy, research, underserved areas are areas that are still good, but most people just want the 9-5 easy role. If you really want that life, you can still get it though, if you are willing to push for it.
it basically lawschool 2.0 but you can get in without a BA (me) so people are even more fucked when they get out since they can't fall back on their BA career.
I admit I made a fucking horrible decision though for quitting that job but at least I didn't kill myself.
Also academic/research are to my knowledge hard as hell to find jobs for/qualify for.
Also all hospitals want residencys now which is fucking stupid.
There are plenty of eliteanons on this board.
Deal with it. Plan your next move wisely. It's a new year, a new day. It's not over til you're dead.
until you start blaming yourself and not your parents, you will never make it user
>dont make any effort to better your place in life sweetie just fuck around and be happy
Im very sorry user but you parents are the dumbest boomers ever
yeah working in a hospital seems like pure hell to me. you could probably retire after 8 years though if you just live like a pauper
my parents said the same and i was learning programming on my own because it made me happy
