David Watson
such is the life of the wagecuck
Cooper Cooper
Stick around to rack up 2+ years experience, shop around for other jobs.
Pay or hours are almost definitely going to be better.
Ian Reyes
Have you tried reading Saint Augustine's Confessions?
Let it lead you down the path of the philosophical minds of the past.
Owen Reyes
Find a way to work the same amount as your $10/hr friends OP
Jose Cook
Not bad for a 20 year old.
Colton Stewart
I would have done anything to make that at 20.

why would you get a real estate license
Evan Green
You need to figure out your passion and pursue it. I was in a vaguely similar position to you 2 years ago.
Ryan Smith
passions dont pay
Julian Hall

I work in a shitty warehouse and even I get paid time off just given to me at the start. Also they're probably happier because despite making less money they also work less, which is less stress overall.
Stress of less money < stress of work
They can just ask for gibs from the government if they don't make enough.
Thomas Thomas
slave away for a few years and buy a house somewhere you actually want to live. when your friend is still renting you could choose to work part time if you really want because you have what we call "equity". you're gonna be 20 for a while. it's just like high school. it sucks but just do it for four years and you're set.
Christian Bell
user stay in it to get some expierence while saving it all and learn to trade equities in the meanwhile
Jeremiah Young
65k isnt too great for 50-60 hr weeks is that mandatory?
Daniel Cox
>Pay is fantastic (65k) I mean It's not bad But it's definitely not fantastic.
Robert Mitchell
Quit.
I was in your same boat and I quit. Great decision.
You have to realize a few things:
1) Your time is the most precious thing you have 2) It doesn't matter how much a job pays (to a point) if every second of it is misery than you are better off working somewhere else for peanuts 3) Companies like this are shit. They pull the old "well look what we're paying" card, and these kind of companies don't last and will have high turnover, and the employees that do stay will be ground into dust by the time they have done 10 or 20 years.
Do yourself a favor and just use this job as a linkedin/resume jump to a better company.
Daniel Williams
This. How long ago were these "wish I made that at 20" actually 20?
$65K is kind of lousy for 60 hour weeks that include on-call weekends. I'm going to guess IT, specifically operations?
Jack Thompson
this is the worst advice to ever become a meme
Nathaniel Wilson
depends where OP lives. these kind of dick swinging statements are useless without a comparison to cost of living.
Sebastian Jones
Your friends are happier because they have freedom. Even if they make less their lives aren't chained to a job.
Parker Gutierrez
>20 year old That's fucking amazing for someone at 20
Ryder Gonzalez
That's because you're too young to be an office slave. Spending the prime of your youth living like a 35 year old dad is incongruent. Do you even have a degree?
Eli Robinson
he can live in the middle of fucking kansas and it still not too great. giving up alot of his time and it's not making him happy. im 22 and live in bumblefuck and make that working 8 hr days + 3 weeks vacation that i can take whenever i want + all the other shit 401k match benefits etc
Nicholas Lopez
It's $19/hour. I made that at 25 a decade ago.
John Lee
>$19/hour Nigga what?
Ethan Howard
makes between 20-25 if he works 50-60 hr weeks all year
Wyatt Bell
This. Working with middle age women in corporate office environment at 23 really fucked me up.
Aiden Rodriguez
>65k pls
>truck driver on $25/h before OT >$32 on OT >50 hour weeks >65k min
James Wilson
This guy. Seriously. I feel like I was happier when I was making $10/hr in Connecticut. Ignorance is truly bliss. I punched out on time(because I had to) and had the rest of the day to myself. Best time ever. But ultimately it was not a sustainable lifestyle. That was back when I was like 17-18. You have to figure out your value to your company and a way to manipulate that, it's the only way. Btw I'm 33 and my total comp(not straight cash, but about 94% of it) is around $125k on a high school diploma. Yes, I'm in IT. I only mention it to say that it can be done!
Gabriel Lee
But it takes a lot of hours. You're the company's bitch. Your priorities don't mean anything in this case, you have a job to do, even on your "time off" whatever that means.
Joshua Jenkins
Save money to live on for 6 months and find a new gig. If you have a year experience in your field, you may be able to find a job elsewhere with ease. Do your research.
Julian Murphy
Same gig here, but I made 32k last year. Sure, I get paid to drive around all day smoking weeds and drinking brew with my supervisor, but I have a family and a household to maintain. I should be home teaching my son skills that will keep him from having to be a wage slave cuckold.
Logan Sanchez
How so? I can share debt collector stories
Aiden Parker
This.
They've the most useless, backstabbing cunts that ever existed.
Liam Edwards
60000 dollars divided by 60 hours divided by 52 weeks equals $19.23/hour before taxes.
William Bennett
When life hamds u lemons say fuck the lemons and bail. Last job worked 84+ hours a week. All went to bills. Got pissed and fliped shit. Quit for comfy fuckoff job at half the money.

Kayden Cruz

Cooper Collins

Owen Wright

Save as much as you can so you can buy your freedom at 35.
Mason Butler

Jack Williams
This. Wish I'd gone a few more years of poor and free. Oh well having a house at 25 is pretty great guys right? :(
Daniel Anderson
I broke 40k making $11 a fucking hour user. 65k is a godsend
Juan King

Dominic Barnes
Fuck you OP, you're set for life. Quit your bitching and wait a couple years to find an even better job in the same field.
