/biz/ - Business & Finance

I've been WFH for the past year doing web dev. The year prior I worked super hard in the office and spent time learning outside of work, since I'm a self-taught junior and I felt like needed to prove myself a bit. With all the free time I had during furlough (Britbong) I got into /lit/ material on capitalism and now my ambitions have taken a huge nosedive, no pun intended. It was like finding out Father Christmas isn't real. Some weeks I literally do not even open my code editor, much less write anything. It's getting to a point where it's becoming a problem. My pay is way below the market rate but I am struggling to motivate myself to study for another job. I'm considering doing a CS degree online to get a better understanding of the fundamentals and set me up for the future. Though what I really want is to be free from all this. I'm not a lazy person, I want to work hard. But the vast majority of jobs I can see don't seem worth working hard for.
Anyway thanks for reading my blog. Most other people I know are so ingratiated into the system that any attempt at discussion will usually be met with banalities such as "that's just how it is". It's relaxing reading this thread knowing there are other wagie bros out there who can relate.
