Yeah, I think becoming an artist is the way alright

construction work can be pretty comfy
the only problem is you have to get a good crew

Honestly why is this like this

I'm in the same boat
>jobs without a degree all pay minimum wage
>jobs with a degree don't pay anymore than 20-30k
>rent is like 3k a month
Why even bother, I'd rather be dead than be cheated this much

Cause capitalist middlemen pocket the actual value of the labor and give you slave wages

The worst thing is that a person who cleans offices for example earns the same amount of money as a guy who's prone to injury from lifting heavy things and works in a dangerous environment in general. Also I worked as a cleaner (cleaning stadiums after matches), a lot of beer on the ground, it's all sticky but it wasn't a hard job per se, just collecting a lot of trash, mopping and such. I also worked as a cashier in a store with a lot of people coming in and out and it was a nightmare. Both paid the same of course. I am really angry that I neglected art for so long, the job market is completely fucked

Because most people can do those types of jobs, while most people cannot operate on another human being. That is why doctors are well paid. Its about scarcity.

About the low pay, you got the faults of our current model of capitalism to thank for that.
