you have to for 40 years and never take a break. if you have a gap of more than 2 months it will be a red flag. how do people cope with this? is this all there is to life? Making someone else rich?

If you save up enough cash to have mini breaks here and there, nothing wrong with that anon. Can always call in sick for a week or two. Just work a bit harder when you come back and no one will notice ;-) Learn to play the 'game' and you will be smiling

I’ve been working for 3 years since I’ve got out of high school and I’m at my breaking point. Saved up all my money and thinking of backpacking in Europe or something similar. Work feels like a never ending battle. I see people who make more money than me but the fact that they work 50-80 hours a week with little time to play with their expensive toys makes me wonder what is even the point. It’s insane.

Maybe try to find something you don't completely hate?
Start something of your own and work hard for your own gain? Find a nieche in a high value industry and get good at it?
Or maybe just don't devote your entire youth to making money that you won't even be able to enjoy properly when you're old. I'm 29 and i built more wealth in the last 2 years than i ever could have if i starved myself from 18 to 27 because i just make a lot more money now.

Do a 6 month PA course, become PA to someone active in your field even if you have to take shit pay. You learn from what they're doing, how they organise themselves, you are first contact with all of their connections.
If you have at least a bit of social skill you can get in, otherwise you use your PA experience to move to a bigger fish in your industry.
Relationships are more important than hard work anon, you hang around the right people and opportunities fall in your lap.

You chose the corpo life. Its a life for pussies like you but it was your choice. You will work 40-50 hours a week in exchange for a little bit of financial security.

You could be living in a van right now, fucking girls on venice beach or hiking through veitnamese mountains just scraping by but having a blast. But no, you're too scared of debt, bad credit, and death to ever adventure. What a waste.

The smart and rich don't compete, they help eachother succeed so they can return/collect the favour. War is bad for business.
If you have social skills you don't need much more. You can be given a bullshit job advising shit you have no idea about, you just need to return some favours once you make it.
Hardest part is getting into a social circle with influence. You only need to charm 1 person to start.

>> No.57991999

>Start something of your own
Fact of it is doing this practically requires you to already be in a business setting. I know a 30 year old couple making millions from a marketing company they created but they worked marketing first and already knew the business and had the connections. You don't just wake up one day and realize that there's a huge opportunity to profit off of offering law firms in Arizona customized T5 boilerplate templates.

By lying about gaps and having skills that will always be in demand. I've been in the workforce for 20 years but only worked full time for about 5 years and part time 10 years with gaps up to 2 years. It's called learning multiple skills that will forever be in demand so that you can always find a new job if they treat you like shit or start your own business. A good 5 years of that was also me only working 70 hrs a week for 4 months to earn $50-60k while doing odd jobs the rest of the year to keep my self entertained.

If you want the corporate soul sucking life where you life revolves around the company and/or your boss's needs than yea have fun being a wagie.

Never said you wouldn't have to work and learn first, you can only skip that if you're born into influence but you're friends are 30 making millions. They took a risk and made something using connections and expertise, if they failed they probably would've tried again because they have a buissness mentality not a wagie mentality.
If you're looking to put literally zero effort and escape waging before you're a ballsack, you need to an hero.

The things that used to make people okay with waging are slowly going away.
Job safety is in the dirt and almost everyone nowadays has to fear layoffs.
Housing is becoming less and less affordable.
People aren't having kids/marriages nearly as much as they used to.
The internet has made people both hyper aware of the lifestyles of the wealthy and hyper susceptible to being taken advantage of.
Depending on who you are you're worried about either the effects of global warming, the effects of massive immigration, or both.

People cared about their jobs because they wanted to make sure that they and their families had a good secure future. If people don't see themselves having a future, they won't care about their job.
