I run my own businesses and I'm graduating at the end of this year - I want to avoid it at all costs but I will likely have to work for someone else before I can fully support myself immediately after college.

What's it like?
How do you deal with it?

I've got a good boss, so it's not too bad. I do manual labour in a small business and enjoy the work, plus its only for money so I can go to college next year. The weeks pass quickly though

It's already profitable because I have little to no costs but I'm still scaling it and a starting salary for a programmer is WAY higher than my current MRR

This. The wagecuck issue really only applies to soul sucking office desk jobs (ESPECIALLY if sales, or any sort of call center job) and customer service jobs like cashiering. I have worked backroom/stocking jobs at major retail stores on and off since high school and it's actually incredibly fun. Wake up at 4am, get a good workout unloading and organizing the truck, then put on some music or a podcast and go stock the shelves for a bit and get out before noon having the whole day ahead of me while most are only just really getting started. Plus with Targets new $15/hr minimum it will be paying $30k per year assuming you work the 39.5 hrs per week they let you.

Depends from job to job anon. The odds of finding shitty jobs is a lot higher. That's why they have open positions more often than not. Pay mind to the "honeymoon", where the job seems great for a few weeks and then turns upside down when they know they own you.

Good job or bad, dont trust a soul with anything they can hold against you.

Build a clear list of realistic goals and a means of pursuing them. Hit the gym before or after work. Get through the bullshit. Use the hardship to build yourself up. Observe your coworkers. Do they bitch about how much they hate the job everyday even though theyve been there 15 years? Are they fake? Droll?

Its a plus if you do something you enjoy, a big plus if it leads you to a place where you can go into business for yourself, and an even bigger plus if you can find a way out of Sector 7 and beat the game.

Good luck anon

If you have long term goals and you have a good idea you're going to eventually move on from the wagie job, it's actually not that bad. Unlike many others around you, you have valid dreams and can act on them in the future, just taking one step back now to take two steps forward in the future.
Good luck and dont sweat it.
