I need a respectable job

Unironically how does anyone make money these days? I have a STEM degree but have only ever been able to get shitty, minimum wage, entry level jobs with no upward mobility.

>Stocker

I need to find a career, not a job, a career

Salary: $75,000
Annual take home pay after taxes and health insurance: $52,000

$1,400 monthly for a 650 sq ft. apartment: $16,800 annually
$150 monthly in fees and utilities: $1,800 annually
$400 monthly for food: ~$5,000 annually
$150 in gas monthly: $1,800 annually
$40 gym membership: $500 annually
$1,000 in auto insurance annually

There’s $25,000 left, but there’s no saving for retirement, no traveling, no entertainment, no random emergency expenses, no clothes, no gifts, no anything besides subsistence.

It became 95% more expensive to own a home in my area in the past two years. I cant fucking do it anymore. Not like this. I’ll kill myself wt this rate, this isn’t living, I’m not getting ahead, I’m a shell of my former self.

Please, give me a higher paying career that isn’t mechanical engineering. This is brutal. I’m never going to get ahead doing this.

>Working on an extended holiday weekend
>Have to see people having fun

All I wanted was being able to pay enough for rent & food and not have to work on these holidays

>Working on a summer holiday weekend
>See kids having fun, young families enjoying themselves, young couples laughing
