I’m lucky that I can say yes. That said, I still wouldnt do it for free. What about you, how do you feel about your job/career/field in general?

    Yes, USD. There are no people I meet anymore who think it’s a good salary. They think it’s poverty.

    I was at a party two nights ago and people asked me what I did, and they immediately excused themselves once they found out my job.

              Then you’ll forever be unhappy and surrounded by people you hate. Again, thats assuming EVERY HUMAN in your city/area truly is as affluent and elitist as you say. I find it essentially impossible to believe but I’m not you. Also, if you’re making 150 and people making 200 are shifting on you they are genuinely stupid. I make a bit more than 150 and I’ve had several years where I was over 200 with overtime. There is a difference, sure, but at that point its honestly minimal.

                Nah. I’m happy.

                They are just miserable people. doesn’t matter if they make 50 or 500K, they just whine about how their lives are unhappy.

                What would make me unhappy is giving up everything I have built for 15 years for the sake of drinking beers with people occasionally.

      The median US full time salary is 62k, you’re earning 2 and a half times that. Anyone who tells you that’s poverty is either full of shit or deliberately trying to bring you down.

        No, they are just people who make 200K-300K and think they are in poverty and struggling, so they think anyone who makes slightly less must also be living on the streets.

        They don’t acknowledge that people who make 62K are people. They are NPCs to them. And I am too.

          i agree with you and everyone else here. you are finding the wrong people in the wrong places.

          that said… sorry, but ‘everyone’ isnt making 2-300k everywhere. you are causing your own bias somehow, somewhere in your selection process. there is no other rational explanation using, ya know, math.

            the median income in my city is well over 100K. you have to drive over an hour or two away to find median incomes in the 62K range.

          Yeah, literally fuck those people they can suck a dick and have a smile. You’re doing well. There will always always always be a bigger fish, be content with your scaly ass doing fine. Find a girl who doesn’t ask your yearly salary on date 1.
