Anyone Else Feel Like This About Work And Life In General?

[doctorshoes]

One of the main ways to prevent that feeling would have been finding a job that you actually enjoy doing and then putting in the work to obtain that job, but of course without the right resources not everyone can accomplish that so you get trapped. There's a lot you should be able to do in this world but with the way things are structured today it's tough to even have the time to discover yourself.

Truth be told, I felt great sadness when I read this a few days ago in the "College sucks" thread...

You follow ascript, you retell this script, and you act on that same script. It'swhat administration makes it for. At the end of the day, people are incollege to make money when they graduate. Forget the BS about I came tocollege to learn and learn about the humanity of life, you can do thatat the park or the YMCA on Sundays.

So once I realized that college is a quaint existence of humanity pleasings, then I realized what I was doing.

 If one can recognize that eventually, lifeis a system that must all follow. It's a cycle. Who breaks thatcycle?... we'll never know. If you follow the script, you'll do fine.Just do not try re-writing the script, or you'll end up with lifelessboundaries (read: 9th year senior).

With that being said, I love college.

i feel u, i feel like a slave, doing the same !+* every 3 days to make them happy but not yourself, its like u give them 5 days of your life to be a slave and only have 48 hours to actually get ur life back until you back to another 5 days.

i posted this on my facebook, its kinda work related but i feel that its very very true.

looking on craigslist for available jobs. wowwwwwww most these places have unrealistic expectations and wants for $11-12 a freakin hour. get the hell outta here.

and to add to this too many "yes sir" weak minded people are the cause of this in my humble opinion. dudes gettin that corporate nut in their face acting cut throat to their co workers to move up in a job that doesn't give a flying 747 $%@% about them.

 

[trelvis tha thrilla]

All I know is, I will not become one of those workaholics that work 6-7 days a week for 8-10 a hours a day. That isnt how I want to live my life. I am in a job right now where I work 6-7 days a week almost every week and it drives me crazy.

thats some truthful stuff right there.   some people take it as life and being acceptable.  working like a dog from their 20's until their mid 60's and spending limited time with their families and friends and watching life pass them by.

i'm sorry but i rather make less money and be able to support myself and feel free then make more money but be a prisoner to the work world.

This is me. I work 9 hours every single day (two diff. jobs), and I feel awful 24/7. It's not even worth it in the end. I'm 23, and I'm carrying a workload that is making me miss out on life majorly.

I'm 24 and I work 48hours a week and sometimes it feels like never ending cycle but you must fight through it and try to do extra activities whenever you can. I am one of those cats that just hustles 24/7, my goal is to retire before 45. Anything is possible, always remember that.

At my last job, my boss would actually expect us to stay longer than 8 hours when it wasn't necessary, to show that we were "dedicated." (no one except his %*# kissing crew did it)

Then about once a month he would spring a last minute project on us on a !%###$! Friday and we would be there a few extra hours scrambling to get %#+$ done before he left town for a business trip.

This dude would walk around the office drunk cracking bad jokes and talking %#+$ and expected us to laugh like it was all good. Then he would take 3 hour lunches with his %*# kissing crew to go get drunk, but would try to get an attitude if someone had to leave early.

That dude was piece of work.

He made me hate graphic design.



As for the slavery OP, I've been in that boat and have felt your pain. My advise to you would be to get into a career/business that will allow you to afford the lifestyle you want to live. If that means going back to school or starting your own business, do it.
