Seriously? How would you know whether a certain type of job is "boring" or "crappy" or "pointless" when you have never had one? I have never had a job that was pointless. Every job provides you with valuable experience and teaches you something new.

the whole point of a job is to get money so if you are getting money in order to survive then the job would not be pointless

Not for me though necessarily cause I don’t want to just be stuck doing something I hate just to say I have a job.



Yeah that makes sense and I wasn’t saying I wanted to just start at the top or whatever but I also just hate the whole idea of it. The whole work till you die at a job you hate, marry, have kids, die thing has always been weird to me. That and working for somebody else. I do happen to eventually want kids but a lot of people don’t now but I do. But I don’t want to work for somebody else my entire life.

I want to start a pet sitting business, or better yet, a dog training and/or boarding business. And buy enough land to have all my animals. Then maybe I’ll have kids or maybe I’ll marry first then buy the land, idk. But I do know I want to start my own business and not just stick to the rules or conventional way or whatever.

But that said, I’m not saying I’m not gonna work at all. I’ll find some crappy retail job or something in the meantime to pay for it all but it’s not gonna be permanent and I have zero desire to move to some office job.

But idk, maybe not all jobs are office jobs. Maybe I could be an animal trainer for somebody else? That might not be so bad. I haven’t looked into it much. But I don’t want some boring stupid thing. But I need to get a retail job or something in the meantime while I figure it all out.

That's life though, not everything is rainbows and unicorns and you are going to love everything... You take any job that is available to you and then you find another one after you get some work experience under your belt. You can't just walk out into the world and expect to get a high-paying job that is so much fun.

Exactly.

I hope everyone has a good night, I am getting off of here for the night before I explode.

I absolutely dislike when someone is not using their full potential and they just sit and waste away.

You are never going to know your full potential unless you get up and do something with your life... This goes for anyone

The worst part for me is someone like me that cannot work because their doctor literally ripped them off of working due to their health and having a heart attack at work when I was 22... I literally cry some days because I want to work so bad and then there are people out there making every excuse in the book for why they can't get a job...

I literally cry at least once a week or more at the fact that I am unable to provide to my family by working... It sucks but it's life. I don't expect rainbows and gumdrops out of life.

I had so many crappy jobs before I found a job that I actually liked. I never once complained about having those jobs either because they were providing for my family and for myself. There was no way that I was going to live in my mom and dad's basement all my life (that's literally where I lived in a finished basement).

I'm having a rough day if you can't tell...

I guess I wouldn’t and I’m that’s true but I’ve just seen how constantly stressed out my dad and SIL are from their jobs and I just really do not think that that is for me. And they both work from home too, not like they commute or work in an office, and it’s still like that. They do travel though and have conference calls and they’re pretty high paying ones & I think they’re both managers of some sort but still. I also know myself and know that I would not be happy or productive stuck inside or in a cube all day. But obviously if that was the only one available, I would take it. But it’s not. There’s a million other jobs around here so I can afford to be a little bit more selective and still have a million options. There aren’t even any office ones available here anyway even if I wanted one. And I don’t mean any offense to anyone who works in an office or whatever and I’m sure temporarily it would be fine but I just cannot see myself doing that for the rest of my life. And I know you all will probably say too bad or I need to make money or whatever but I don’t need to. There’s a million options here.

I never said it would be pointless. Just that there’s certain ones I know I don’t want to do. Also, to me, long term, it’s about more than the money. I want to be happy doing something. Didn’t say I would get that immediately but I mean eventually.

That's life though, not everything is rainbows and unicorns and you are going to love everything... You take any job that is available to you and then you find another one after you get some work experience under your belt.

I never said this either. In fact, I literally said I was going to get a crappy job for now....

I know I won’t get a great one immediately or love every job. Literally never once said I expected that.

But I also have zero desire to just settle and stay with one job for life just because.

I also don’t give a shit about the money. I want to be happy.

And I don’t see what’s so wrong with that or with having goals.

All that said, I already KNOW that won’t happen overnight. Which is why I said I’m going to find a regular/retail type job first. I know that’s necessary.

But as soon as I get enough money, I’m going to start working towards the goal. Not saying I’ll quit right away or anything, that would be stupid, but I want to start working towards it.

I hope everyone has a good night, I am getting off of here for the night before I explode.

I’m really sorry all that happened and that your days been rough and I really hope it gets better.

But that said, I don’t see how I’m “making every excuse in the book to not get a job.”

I have never once said I didn’t want to get a job or that I expected to just be able to do what I want right from the start. In fact, I have said numerous times I am going to get a regular retail type job first.

What I DID say, however, is that I want to be happy in whatever job I end up with and that I want to eventually start my own business. And frankly, I really do not see what is wrong with either of those things.....

I’m not using that as an excuse not to get a job.

Hell, I NEED a job to be able to pay for it all.

But I’m not going to do it forever just because that’s what most people do.

I’m going to work a regular one for a while, maybe years if I have to, never said I would quit anytime soon, and then try to start it. And if it doesn’t work out, I am ALL FOR going back to a regular job. Or finding a similar career working for someone else instead.

But I want to at least try. I don’t want to be 90 and regret that I never tried because it was “too hard” and getting a regular job was easier or whatever.

Starting my own business is also way harder than getting a regular job would be so I’m really not sure why everyone seems to think it’s laziness on my part or an excuse to not get a real one. Plenty of people start their own businesses these days.
