247 or 95 

I pick YOU

The one my future me will decide

24/7

The majority of young adults are working the 9-5. Maybe not because they want to, but because it's the most secure and attainable lifestyle. Unfortunately if everyone worked their passion job, I doubt our society will run properly. There has to be that bulk of the population that works the boring jobs to keep the gears turning.

The 20s are a time of change, confusion and self discovery. We have our own path in life. Our priority should be finding that path rather than rushing to the finish line to "make it", especially when we don't know yet what it looks like.

Half of them make money by solely repeating motivational generic shit on social media and making videos about "how cryptocurrency is THE FUTURE!!🔥" and sell the same shit in a book. Then proceed to leave their job because unfortunately this type of content creation pays more than those jobs. Then search for the latest buzzwords, add them in, and repeat.

Yeah I needed to hear that. Thank you

yes you are

Bro i didnt even know there was someone talking at first i was so focused on whatever was in that jar

@@QbertTehKiller It's kimchi, she was making kimchi fried rice. Full ingredients are: kimchi/kimchi juice, white rice, gochujang (chili sauce), sesame or vegetable oil, pork belly (or bacon), fried egg, and dried seaweed. Sesame seeds and green onion is common too. It is as good as it looks, if not better. I am perpetually addicted to this dish.

This! I fully agree, my personal approach can be summed up as “I don’t live to work, I work to live.” I do what I need to so that I can survive and enjoy my hobbies as I go. I’m fairly big into rock climbing so it’s not something that can be really enjoyed with an extremely late start, I.e. starting after the 24/7 hustle pays off and you can finally enjoy yourself. Being able to burn the candle at both ends to reach an amazing position in life and coast off of that would also have its benefits for sure. But you can still build a great life without killing yourself early on, I’ve only been in the work force for just under 4 years and I am about to purchase my first home, by myself, off of my 9-5 income. Sacrifices were made and there were a lot of comforts that I have gone without, but it’s paid off and I still have plenty of time to improve and enjoy my hobbies.

Yup people won’t do a 9-5 5 days a week because it’s too much work but then go and try to start their own businesses and end up working 24/7 basically lol

@@AceRanger20 i wrote an essay on that exact topic about an year back as the final project before graduating, 'live to work or work to live', it received appreciation as it wasnt the regular AI or cryptocurrency bs.

I don't agree w anyone lol. my hobby led to my work, I wouldn't have ot any other way. I don't think there needs to be a choice between "work to live" and "live to work".

Me. Did the whole „do what you love“ and now i can‘t stand it anymore. I‘m glad i did it on the side though. Now i work a regular 9-5 only

i can with your mother

And a tasty San Miguel beer no less!!!!!!!! 👍🍺😆

Also you wouldnt be sleeping if its literally 24/7, i dont see how this is even a possible question

True that

But why no hustle while practicing what you learned in school? Best of both worlds

I mean this only works in some countries. In most parts of the world you need a degree or some kind of training at least in order to do virtually any job, because the jobs that don't require any of those usually underpay heavily...

wagie wagie back in the cagie

@@WorstPaperCut any job you get WILL become work regardless of how much you initially loved it. look at professional gamers for an example.

But it usually doesn’t add up to much over time and then years down the road the existential dread hits with “WHAT HAVE I BEEN DOING THIS WHOLD TIME”. Esp cause most jobs don’t offer great benefits anymore

I say this all the time about graduating from school. A lot of my peers are afraid of “the real world” and would rather go on to grad school to avoid it. I don’t think they realize that that means constant studying and thinking outside of class hours. I’m excited to turn my brain off at 5 pm

@@rapdancesing It depends on the job you're doing. I'm currently at University and also learning some skills on the side (both tech related) and where I live the first job you get in this field is usually paid ok, but not great. That doesn't worry me because I know there will be plenty of room to progress. Now, let's say you are working in a groceries store that you don't own. Likely, you won't make much progress. I'm not saying it's impossible, but it's less likely. So depending on your skills, if you choose a career where you can be promoted several times, a 9-5 will offer good pay with benefits.

But you are conceding doing what you like only 4 hours a day max

I made $9k profit last month and i never left my house lol

hope you do well man

It’s the way to go! The last thing you want to do is burn out your passion b/c you do game dev 12 hours a day every day. A 9-5 brings helps apply some internal boundaries to prevent this kind of burn out that some of us (me) may have trouble setting ourselves

Honestly if ur passion is game design you would probably do much better working on an Indie game in ur spare time compared to full time at a big studio. You’ll actually get to make a game you want and keep ALL of the profits.

I agree

I also disagree with weighing money and status over family. This is a huge misconception the west has built, which especially women fall victim to. Your 20s are your fertile years, with luck you can get a child in your 30s. Similar thing goes for men, guys i know you don't want to be old and weak when you have your son, you want to be fit and active and play ball with him and be able to protect him. Not being able to hustle when you're older also is wrong, you don't have to make the hustle your main thing which you spend all your energy on.

​@@andresvalverde5182 How decrepit do you think 40 year olds are that they are too weak to play catch? If you're hustling to get a family and reliable income early in life you might not even have time to play catch with your kid or be there for important moments. Let alone if you work a more manual labor based job.

Family doesn’t come first if they provide no value

@@00Dawggg I agree, I’m sorry if your family didn’t have those values you wanted, otherwise you would of cared for them first.

I have big fears of turning the stuff I enjoy doing into a job because of the fear that I will end up hating it.

This fear is so real. But may be just for some people, I tried to put music as my career but noticed I am slightly turning to hate it and then I came back to working in IT now I am back to learning and loving music as I used to ❤️❤️❤️

You could try continuing to pursue that hobby while viewing it as a job for a week or so .If you start to hate it you’ll know your right .But maybe you’ll end up loving it don’t know if ya don’t try .

I think everythinfg is circumstance. Everythinfg dépends how it works for you.

I heard this from a drama but do what you prefer as a hobby and do what you prefer second to that as your job. So you're not getting tired of your favorite thing to do

@@ninanando the fathers need to step up. That’s part of being a man, taking care of your family. Being a provider.

@@maelxmusic1613 Again, in this day and age, a lot of younger people do not have the privilege of affording to even have a family due to our economic positions. The minimum wage makes people including myself live paycheck to paycheck in order to live. With systemic oppression and environmental racism, people aren’t just born in families that can pay for college or a car to get places or even good insurance to cover mental health services, which you may guess, affects your ability to function as a human being.

shoot i meant economic climate instead positions. the climate puts us in our positions.

Being an entrepreneur isn’t that it takes up all your time it just takes a long time to make it to where you want to be and it can be stressful in the beginning but it’s all worth it in the end. But what I don’t like is people telling other people that they suck because they have a different choice in careers. it’s just hate bait and it can be motivating for some but not for all. But in the end it just matters in the person so asking as your happy with what you got your set

@@AMA_808it’s not worth it for everyone in the end. A lot of people regret the time they wasted. Depends on the people. (Me and my husband are in a passion field mainly populated by self employment, I know this very well)

I've heard this as well and this has confirmed my suspicions. Thank you so much for sharing.

Yeah I get what u mean it depends on who u are some people can do something they enjoy and have it as a job but other people can't just depends who u are as a person

@user-uj9yt8jo9p Totally agree, I think if you can enjoy your hobby even if you're doing it at someone else's pace and direction, you'll be okay to make it a career.

I work 9-5 to pay bills. I picked up second job 9-5. Yes multi task. All so I can fund my hobby (vacation and working from anywhere in the world ). Both jobs are remote of course

Hope you continue again someday

Same. I'll be going back to school with people nearly half my age. Part of me wishes I had known then what I know now, but then I remember that I DID, but my abusers would shame and insult me for dreaming, so I didn't go for it, and just hustled. I guess I learned 2 lessons: NOT to do that to my kids, and that it's never too late to follow your passions.

@@socialdeviant13 can you please tell me what did you want to do and how exactly did you hustle? I'm 19 not knowing what to do now just finished a year of engineering but I'm not sure if that's the right thing for me so i hope you feel comfortable sharing so i can learn!

This spoke to me... I suffered from anxiety and depression since I was 10. Only surfaced when I was 25 when things in my life changed and I keep feeling that I'm too late to be just now starting to live my life.

@@ramizureikat3793 At first, I wanted to go to art school to draw comics. Even got accepted to a prestigious school, but got convinced not to. Then I decided on med school. And again, not good enough. So I ended up with an A.A. in "I don't know what I want to do with my life." I've been doing shift work for the last 15 years, working at grocery stores, restaurants, doing security, A/C, plumbing, fashion photography, whatever job I could get, multiple jobs at a time, burning myself out constantly to prove that I'm not lazy. I do marketing and customer service for my spouse's business. I've learned a lot, but I wasn't taking care of myself or my family, and I haven't been successful. My goal now is Physician Assistant school then psych fellowship, both from an "I want to help people" standpoint, but also from a business standpoint - there is a massive lack of mental healthcare in this country, and if I can fill that niche, I'll be financially set and emotionally fulfilled. And as a PA, I don't get the massive weight of med school debt (2-3 years instead of 6-10) nor the responsibility of a physician, but I get to do most of the stuff I want to do. And as a PA, I can switch specialties if I start to burn out.

I've heard some folks say that you do what you hate for money so that you can do what you love later on. it's a sad reality of life, but unless you're outstandingly good at something, just "liking something" isn't enough to put food on your table, esp when you have other people to provide for other than yourself

Thanks man, I really needed this Message🙂

Love this message xx

as a fellow asian pls teach me your ways

Yes! I agree! I put in my 9 to 5 them to give and do the things I want to do. Gives me work life balance and structure and I can have a clear separation between my job and my passion

9-5:30,5 days a week here Teach me your ways! Though i'm japanese so that might be why i'm having constant exestential crisis moments

I can completely understand that and respect it but for me personally plants and gardening and trying to provide for myself as much as possible is my passion and I sell plant starts eggs chicks and produce and things like that. I can't imagine doing anything else

Yes as an art student and as much as I love it I get sick of it when I am asked to do lots of tasks for school which sucks the life out of me

I agree. When I was a music major I didn’t realize how much of my enjoyment was taken out of singing/ learning instruments until I moved back home and didn’t have to practice. Before I knew it 6 months had gone by before I sat at a piano again. It’s a common occurrence among freshman music majors but I had prided myself at not being one of those…apparently it just took longer for me. Now I have job I enjoy but isn’t my passion, where I work 10 hours a day but I get a 3 day weekend, and I can do my hobbies (music and baking) as much as I want. I started baking for my coworkers and I do occasionally bake things to sell but every time someone asks if I would ever try to open a bakery I say no. I don’t want it to be a job. I just enjoy making people happy through desserts.

I have the same feeling. I even had this problem a while ago, where I was making a crochet bra for myself and my mom commented that she thought that a bikini was going to sell (I do crochet both as a hobbie and to sell. Usually plushies though). I immediately decided to switch from making it for myself to making it to selling, but it sucked almost all the joy I was having with that project; cause it turned from something comfortable I wanted to make for me to wear, to something pretty to sell. I enjoy to do things because I WANT to do them. If I want to do something to sell, or for someone else, I'll still enjoy it because I wanted to do it. If I'm doing It just out of obligation, then it suddenly becomes dull. I have to be interested to like, even if there's an obligation, if I want to do it or not completely defines how I feel about something; even if it's a sort of activity I enjoy, if I'm not doing it because I want to, I won't like it.

Exactly. Like if it's a duty, it's not a wish anymore. Wish gives you an opportunity to quit, duty doesn't. And as someone who's got bad health and 38 hours of just classwork (I'm a teacher, I'm not even legally allowed to have that many hours a week because teachers often have a ton of responsibilities outside classwork that are kinda, KINDA factored in, but not really) on 2 different jobs, I can definitely say that I'm basically doing this because one job simply isn't enough to sustain myself. And I'd love to have a bit less work (ideally no more than 20-30 hours of classes) so that I had the tiniest bit of energy for my hobbies and stuff. Gaming has been my only solace recently and I'm glad I can at least manage to keep it separate from my work. But I wish I had more energy for other hobbies and some interaction outside classrooms. Like I actually absolutely adore most of my students, they are some of the sweetest people I know (I mostly work with teens and adults), but I still want some energy to be able to go out with friends

Same i had always wanted a desk job since i am a kid

Yes same! I remember anytime I’d be in the office of my elementary school, how peaceful it seemed to me. I worked retail for one year and other people controlling my scheduled work hours made it feel like it was impossible to plan my personal life since my hours were always changing.

@@CallMeAkane Mine stems from watching my dad work too hard. He delivered packages and did a lot of moving around. Has a bad back, knees, shoulder. Pretty much everything. I knew then I wanted something less physical and routine in terms of schedule

I cannot relate but I love hearing the perspective!

I like the 9 to 5 because I needed the structure. If I don't have it, I'll be all over the place.

Keep in mind a lot of these people dont have anything outside of work, and they value themselves by their paycheck. Work ethic is important and their way of life is very respectable, but you only have one life and I doubt you’ll wish you spent more time working when you’re on your deathbed.

@@kdgoodsports5553 Good that I don't have anything of that. If my "job" at least was just from 9 to 5 and was paying minimum wage. This life is absolute bs.

best life is when you can constantly reward yourself for hardwork

Once I realized this, I became a better worker too. Less stressed about the small details. More capable of seeing the big picture, and more confident in my skills to take me there.

Working 40 a week isn’t the problem. Working 40 a week till your 60 is a problem. As long as working that job can make you financially free by your late 30s, then it’s a good job.

@@asyed313 working 40 a week isn't a problem. It's employers setting your salary for 40 a week with the expectation that you will work 60-80 a week for that salary to show how dedicated you are. I work 20 hours a week in a job I love passionately. I am almost 60. I gave up a normal office job five years ago and am really happy I did.

fr

Neither of those assumptions are absolute. It's different from people to people.

It works for some people. The reason why I chose Business Administration, aside from loving Economics and Finance, is because art is my hobby, and making it into a job would ruin it for me.

I used to do 9-5, now I do what I love for myself, it's true that you'll never work a day in your life in the same sense that I worked the 9-5, where every weekday I looked forward to the weekend, and every weekend I dreaded over Monday. Now? I wake up and I look forward to getting on with my work, I'm excited to start each day, after dinner my gf has to try to get me to join her and relax, there's no longer such a thing as weekend. The sentiment of the message is not even close to a lie, but it's just not what you may expect. "Do what you love, and you'll never hate working again a moment in your life." May be more accurate, but chances are you'll also be working a whole lot more, you'll just be enjoying it.

@@aaron4820 Ngl I screenshotted ur response it’s nice to hear that and I hope u continue the rest of your life with your passion and dedication to what u do whatever it may be

TRUTH. And if you don't know what this person is talking about, you haven't experienced it.

Wait that would be weird... Does that mean I should have been a full time gamer than an artist? Lmao

@@seraby7151 its so that if you get tired of your job you have a favorite hobby to lean on. If you were to become an artist and get home tired and want to relax with a fun activity. You could play a videogame but you can't do what you love most, because what you love most has now become your job, and anytime you're drawing or painting something you're doing it to get paid by selling it rather than for fun. Over time, the idea of painting for free and for fun (without a pay) will feel more like a chore than a hobby. Your favorite thing to do has now become your tiring nightmare and you have nothing to lean on outside of work (aka; extracurriculars) because what has been your escape your life, is now what you do for money. If you were to be a pro gamer though, you could play games, practice, and do what you love. But once you get tired, you can come home and chill to making a drawing. Now what you have spent hours on to become your escape in life, is still your escape, and you can continue to enjoy it without it feeling like a chore. Also, no matter how much you enjoy your career, the industry of every career has a way to make you hate something about your occupation. You can still be passionate about it, but there are things that now make you hate it, which didn't exist before. Anyways yea, long response for simple quote. You probably won't read it but for anyone else who was confused, I hope I did a good job explaining lol 😅😁

Also, once you try to monetize hobbies they can become stressful and you lose the love you had for them...

Interesting. I get where you are coming from, and this is only a different perspective I’m going to provide. I talked to some people who are 20 years older than me and asked if they ever had any regret that they wanted to try a different role. They said, initially they did it due to work, but then they were able to do the work they love, whilst working in that same organization. What I’m trying to point out is, the job you choose can be one that has multiple roles that you can try out or change within the same organization. You need to clarify what you love, because it is very vague and non specific which cannot be rationalized, therefore the answer of your question will always be limited in any regard. You are setting up yourself to fail with those type of statement. For example, work in a hospital, start of basic role, require further education and skills to specialize. Still get to help people and learn about pathological science everyday. Want more challenging role? Acquire a project, do Phd or become medical doctor. Your question show be really define and not vague. Vague question or answers lead no where and that is the number one problem people don’t understand. Once you get to a certain point of knowledge, you will understand what I’m saying

Yeah, it's kinda similar to setting your favourite song as ringtone. You will flinch every time you hear that song and overtime you will hate that song.

This. Im passionate most about trucking, but my passion expands to cars, music, filmmaking and possibly space engineering too. No humans want to "work"

This is exactly where I'm at in life. Been in a career for 10 years now that I was very passionate about and believed in that quote... now a days that quote is bullshit lol I've gotten into old hobbies I did growing up and I'm happier than ever. I'm also looking into going into a new career because I do don't want to stick to one profession my whole life

I wish you all well, and I’m sure everyone here will find that balance with time.

Omg hello fellow railroad worker (well not yet, still getting my certifications but I’m doing apprentice stuff and standing awkwardly next to the drivers asking stupid questions) alot of people think I’m crazy for wanting to become a freight driver but it’s just such calming work even if it is simultaneously demanding and stressful. Even if my days start and 5 and end at 9 those days that I’m helping out on the train are my favourite. I honestly think railroad is one of the most fulfilling jobs in the world. It’s just good. I live in a small country so everyone kind of knows everyone. I know all the guys that work at the shunting yards and at the sugar fields. So excited to actually start working. I’m not sure if you find the same passion in it (by the sounds of it you don’t which is totally fine we all have to make money someway) but I definitely fall into the camp of working 24/7. When I’m not doing apprenticeships and at school (it’s not really school but it isn’t TAFE either, it’s called a railroad academy which doesn’t really tell me what it is) im studying and learning and trainspotting. Gotta love it when your passion for trains becomes a viable career. Edit: turns out we fall under our own category, the training is to specialised so we have our own thing lol

Oh I work on the railroad too. I actually like traveling, and the days off that come with it. It’s been a really nice work life balance.

@@FableCountry Feels comforting hearing these types of stories. I spent my twenties and early thirties chasing the passions, playing in bands, touring and travelling and it was so much fun and the experiences are irreplaceable. Once I got married and stepped into my 9 to 5 role sure it has a few moments of dullness but I don't have to worry about money ever, can buy the things I want without thinking about it and just not having to thinking about the money is comforting for me. I spent so much time worrying about money or how long it took to save for things that I have pretty good spending habits now. If you can, chase the passion for as long as you can and never feel guilty for deciding to slow things and settle down.

Imagine working a 9-5 lol

the second your hobby becomes anything but a passion project, you’ll lose interest and the ability to create at your highest ability. The “do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life” saying I’ve found is quite untrue, as the second my passions become school and work related, I lose my passion. That’s why I dropped out of band classes in school even though i absolutely love music. Now thay i’ve been out for years, i’m really eager to play instruments once again. Planning on buying an alto sax, piano, and trombone to play the instruments i was playing in band again.

Does she teach an english class? My friend who loves math is a great math teacher but he said he never intended to be one. It made me realize that the miserable cunts that teach started teaching because they were failures. No wonder united states cant get proper education around the board, you dont have to be successful to teach, u just learn how to talk.

@@jeddysteve8330 Ngl imo and this is partially aimed at you is the assumption that since you’re doing what you love you won’t have any difficulty doing it and making income or just carving out your lane in the world everything in life requires dedication and I think the point of a hobby to begin with is something to be taken easy and that u find peace or solace in but if you do want to something you have to truly love it and dedicate a good amount of your time to it I think a key word really is how something at least in an artistic term may it be writing or martial arts or comedy whatever is “craft” the saying “perfecting my craft” and working on it day in day out and it not being a hassle obviously comes with time but it also means you u eventually never worked a day in your life sometimes u can be passionate abt something but just not have the drive or just honestly might not want to make a career out of it at all and there’s nothing wrong with thay

@@jeddysteve8330 also I’m glad your passion for music has come back and so as jeddy passion for writing more arts gotta go out into the ether of the world

@@kindcolt2747 Yup she also teaches college classes but she likes it a lot and she's also quite good at it, she never intended to be a lecturer tho

Thanks for advice! And be safe on road

badassss

this is so beautiful. i've been struggling with my career choice lately as i have to leave the "passion" for the sake of stability. thank you for sharing, this is reassuring. 🥺

glad i read this

So true ♥️

I'm so happy you figured out what was comfortable to you.

Nice. I need to lose weight and make money too

@@peluchinpower I know the PT might not agree with this, but for weight loss I did intermittent fasting when I first started. I ate once a day, but I ate whatever I wanted during that meal till I was full. Hard at first, yes, but your body gets used to it. No, I wasn’t working out. Yes, occasionally I’d have a very small snack to ward off the hunger till night came, but the less you do that, the quicker your body gets used to eating once a day. Than again, this was during COVID times, no extra energy expended leaving the house and doing chores, but was still wonderful for me because I could eat junk food. Just be weary.. depending on your goals this may not be for you, such as if you wanna gain muscle or improve overall health. I share this because this is genuinely what helped me lose weight and it could help you too.

@@steamyninja8881this is excellent advice. I’m in the early days of weight loss journey but I find all of this to be true.

This is so inspiring. Congratulations 🎉

sounds like you’re doing great! what are your graphic novel and podcast called? :D

No one cares. Have some self awareness.

I like your story. Sound dope

@@reecemccullough4829 really? because it seems like 106 people cared. how about you have some self awareness and stop being rude to random people on the internet who you 1. don't know personally, and 2. aren't even sharing a controversial opinion. I literally just wrote about my life and how I prefer being creative and working for my own joy rather than feeling the need to hustle. wtf is wrong with what I said? why are you mad dude? there's nothing to be angry about.

@@pinkdruid2347 another novella. No one cares. Didn't even finish your paragraph. The video has millions of views. 1.99 million ignored your rambling self absorbed comment.

What do you do?

@@forzer456 I work as a 3d artist in the military simulation industry. Also, the video game industry (depending on the company) generally has the same kind of flexible schedule and care for their employees so I have the opportunity to jump between those fields if I ever get tired of one.

@@celerispaghetti7495 Did you study 3d design in college/uni ? :o I’m really interested in the video game field!!

@@petshopmeg I studied 3d modeling and animation in university. This field is really an amazing field to work in. Even though I have university education, I have to say that like in many technological fields, you'll learn A LOT through internet/ youtube tutorials. School is just there to give you the basics and guide you so you learn much more efficiently (and also motivates our inner procrastinator because you have to deal with deadlines) but if you're interested on the field. You can definitely start to learn by yourself through the many available tutorials and classes available on the web :)

This is very relatable to me as a remote office worker (from home) in tech. I don’t always love my job, but I love the flexibility it gives me. I can even decide on short notice if I want to take time off (even same day) and once my work day is done, it’s done.

They give you a lap top and a cell phone and expect you to be accessible 24/7, but paid 9-5. Passion is what you find in your off time. 😝

the last few offices i’ve worked at the hours were 8-6 🗿

This. I'm going through this. My Boyfriend works 6 day 10 hour shifts with a 1h commute - 30 mins to and fro, bartender. I used to work 40 hour weeks but I had to clock in 40 actual working hours - so most days were 10-12 even 14 hour shifts because calls are not work hours, email is not work hours, and at the very least having lunch and taking a piss are also not working hours. after more than 10 hours of work per day we're both too spend to watch a movie in one sitting... when's time for "passions"?

@@Trollface1997Balkan I work 9-6 and it takes me more than an hour one way to get home. So all in all I do 7-7. I have no fucking force to do anything else after because I also need to cook once I get home. And I do have a second job on weekends. I dunno this "9-5 + hobbies" life seems from another universe.

Its more of a 6 to 5 here ..

Exactly bro me too. I dont even wanna work hard or anything bro I js wanna be rich. But that's most likely not gonna happen💀

@@MK-wj5fk Man. People always say some “don’t you wanna work hard for your shit” bro it don’t make a difference to me. If I can get it WITHOUT the struggle then BET. I ain’t about making it hard on myself for no reason 💀💀

@@adensmith6440 exactly man I js want money at the end of the day like I want an easy life n I wanna be rich and enjoy life

@@MK-wj5fk try looking into crypto.

@@tobib7143 so he can lose his money?

right! and theres gonna be hard days no matter where you work, but if i feel like it’s something you care about then it may be easier to get through.

@@kaepiper PERIODD

I loved my last job at a sandwich shop. Genuinely looked forward to going to work every time, but it was still work. I would still come home absolutely beat, even if it was a really awesome day. Even if you had a job you loved and were passionate for, it's definitely going to still feel like a job. Even if you love the actual "work" part, the commuting, long hours, and hard work is still going to take a toll on you.

You don't need to be happy, you just need to not be miserable. My friend's dad worked as game tester, by the time i met him he already hated video games and refused to play outside his job. Just because it's something you love doesn't mean you won't grow tired of it or come to hate it.

@@arandomperson3516 hmm thats true as well, guess I should have worded it better. Instead of something you like , it's more of something you can do sustainably without getting burned out / something you do that you look forward to without it being an excessive part of your life

@lemon lemon we all need to reduce our working hours and just nap

sadly this is what i’m realizing as i get older i wish everything would just slow tf down

Gotta work everything is expensive as hell

Dang people are kinda lazy

I work 13.5 hours every other day. I don’t have time to do any of my hobbies. My off days I’m too exhausted to even do anything so I sleep, I wanna do my business instead of working for someone else. So I’m on the 24/7 side.

well said

Do u have adhd

@@yokattafn9068 not that I know of. No diagnosis, nor have I searched up symptoms and showed any. Why?

⁠@@anonymouscausewhynot I don’t think ADHD has any correlation.

Same. People have asked me “Why don’t you sell your bread? Why don’t you open a bakery? Why don’t you open a food truck?” Cause I’d hate it with a passion for destroying my passion. I do these things for the process, kinda like meditation, not for some glory or money.

Legit

Better to look into cooking coz most of her speeches are perspective from privileged person!

Just don't have kids, then your really screwed.

I agree. I love the boundary of a 9-5

I mean most careers are 9-5

​@@user-he2ou2ex2f lol I'm thinking theyre confusing a regular job, which is typically a career, with a less common career like business owner or influencer or something.

I'm 24, still trying to work on my degree and feeling like I've failed after seeing so many others accomplish all of it and more even younger. I know it's not true, but it's difficult to shake that feeling and societal pressure.

Amen.

That's why I specifically look for and already found a job which I rely on nobody but myself. Bonus points, the earning potential is practically infinite lol

@@mushrifsaidin whats the job?

@@echoptic775 probably a real estate agent, in a way you depend on people but theres always a need for that market so if you know how to close deals and get leads the income is limitless.

Facts. I mean as a freelance gig? I think its bare-able, but a fucking job? It would kill me

The fact that nobody is talking about the meal Is irritating me

​@@barsthehippie Also do people actually use aprons at the crib? I will never be this organized 😭

Perfect loop

Sets the standard. 👍

To a degree absolutely. Even a dream job will crush your soul at times. If the hate is permanent though I think there is likely a job out there that you’ll enjoy more / find more fulfilling.

There's not a single job in the world that won't have difficult days.

Dont worry you won't. My job never was "fun" and i like it. Been busting my ass out in -30, -40C with a friendly, easy-going crew.

My friend is currently doing a job she doesn’t like anymore. She has been in depression lately and I have been getting her help.

@@JonDotExe That’s true facts. Pick a job you’ll hate the least so you can work longer. Eventually, you’ll hate it then find something else

“Prime” is based off of your physical peak because it’s true that your body starts to go only downhill once you reach a certain age. No one ever peaked at 20. Everyone peaks anywhere from their late 20s to early 30s. It’s due to idiots who misuse the concept of being in their “prime” as an excuse that leads to other meanings.

You also don’t have to have children! Children require so much time and money and SO many people should not be parents.

My mom had kids young, so she was in her early/mid 30s when we could babysit ourselves, and we’re in school. I had my son younger as well, and she’s a fabulous grandma with lots of energy and free time. She has a part time job and goes to concerts, dinners, etc. I always wanted to have my kids first, I didn’t want to be 35 and starting with my first kid. No offense but that sounds terrible. I had my son (planned w husband) at 21, and was still super tired with him. I would hate to have a decade of extra wear on my body and then having a baby. He’s a toddler now and it’s so much easier, although I did find out I was pregnant yesterday 😂 a couple months before we wanted to be, but that’s life lol 🤷‍♀️

@@strawberrycherrybaby I’m starting to feel glad that I had my son and am having our second son relatively young too (at least for my family) My mil also says that mine and my husbands retirement will be an actual retirement, not still raising kids. She jokes that we’ll have “grandma and grandpa money” if our kids choose to have children as well. There’s a huge difference in energy between my mil (had kids young) and my own mom (had kids in her 30s), which is also interesting.

No. Your 20s are your prime because you are at your best physically if you're a normal person. And because it's your prime you're able to do things that would wear too heavily on your aged 30 year old body.
