McJob. What does that mean to you? Flipping burgers to most people. Is that such a horrible job? Someone has to do it; someone has to shovel the shit and artificially inseminate the cows.
I've known people making 150K a year who are miserable drug addicts, and slobs flipping burgs who are amazingly happy people. I've known people with an IQ of 70 who are ecstatic most of the day. I'll never be that happy! Of course this is just a generalization but does having lots of shit really make you happy? Owen Wilson, movie star, rich, young, good looking and he tries to kill himself!
I've taught in rich school districts that were raising the Stepford children. Did great on the standardized test, sucked at life. Fucking pods. Take them outside of their little world and they're lost. And they'll get McJobs making 150K a year shuffling papers and ordering people around. And end up offing themselves. That, or they'll sail the Caribbean on a boat full of naked babes.
I guess the point is, decide what makes you happy before you spend a shit ton of money and time trying to be something that makes you miserable. One day goes by as slowly as the next but the years seem to fly. Hell, I'm 50 years old and still can't settle on a career. The most I've ever earned in a year is 26K but I'm happy. As I look back on what has made me happy I guess I'll start to post some stories of the shit that has happened to me in a little over 50 years. Sex, drugs, rock and roll; a stupid soap opera.
FTW, be yourself
