Am I selfish or lazy for feeling like I just don't want to work a traditional job? I'm not lazy, I'm a hard worker when it's something that I'm enjoying or benefits me directly, but when it comes to doing work in exchange for fiat for other people while I make them rich, I just don't want to.

Call me selfish but I just don't want to live my life that way, I'm still young and I feel like I want so much more from life but just don't know what I should do.

I hate waking up every day to go do something I hate, I don't like The Man telling me what to do.

I don't want to live like that, I just don't.

I on the other hand don't know what work I would really enjoy or else I'd be doing it .

I didn't go to college nor will I because it seems like mostly useless waste of time that will land you in debt unless you have a very neche interest that you are very good at and passionate about.

Any advice would be great.

My advice? Listen to the man, until the voice in your head screams louder. Everyone hates their job, if they say otherwise they're full of shit. People aren't meant to work there whole lives away, weve just been told it's work, or jail. I've debated several times of a career switch, but the longer you wait the harder it is to get outta. College is for nothing but a piece of paper claiming you know more than someone without. Everything is a giant pyramid designed to keep us low. Gots to find that ladder 🫂💜

Find what works, run, and never look back!

I agree, it's all BS. I don't want to work on a fucking factory making someone else rich, I don't I just don't and I see all these people who have been there years, some decades and I don't want to be like them.

I know some, barely moves until clock out time 🤣🫠

The dudes been there longer than I've existed 😭

They gave him a watch.....like....

Here GFY. Show up on time, or well replace you.

Hell of a gift to get someone who's worked for your company half their life.

Should have gotten him a car or something. But this is exactly what I mean, before this I was working in fast food and one guy there was like 45 and said he'd worked fast food for like 30 years, been at that restaurant for peanuts like 7 years, I'd rather not exist honestly.

To each their own but fastfood and retail jobs are two I will never be able to mentally go back to. People suck (most are very rude to them folks 😔)

Yeah I dealt with some rude people, I was however able to ignore a lot of them or laugh it off with coworkers when they left.

I hate factory work where I feel stuck around people I don't like and am being observed and critiqued all the time

Did factory work for a while but after a few years I felt I got dumber and dumber. You adjust to people you spend most of your time with. For me it was the best way to learn i definitely never ever wanted to do that again and take a dive into the deep.

Best choice of my life so far, but with all the changes happening in the world I feel I will have to transition sooner than later once again. Stuff is moving fast currently.

Some of my best memories in retail are the jokes that followed them leaving 🫠🤣🤣😜

The Chinese didn't think like this and look at them now?

Pulling an entire country out of abject poverty to now be the no. 2 contender to the hegemony.

Probably good to look into that kind of mentality too.
