This book actually helped
"Discover What You're Best At" Linda Gale
Turns out that having a job that fits you makes you hate work less.
I can't find any reference to that book. Do you have a link?
EDIT ( Linda Gale, also You're):

Silly me.
Glad it worked out.
I edited it.
The jobs that fit me don't pay enough
Did you bother to look at the book?
There are probably a lot of jobs out there that you've never heard of that you'd be great at.
I was told to do something I'd never considered, and it turned out to be a great fit.
I started out wanting to work in the arts, but found out that I didn't want to deal with the personalities. Got a different career and never looked back.
Billionaires don't want you to know this, but you can end the rat race by forming a union. The work will still be shit, but you'll get good pay, benefits, and a union
But what if my non union shop has better wages, pay increases, benefits and PTO than comparable positions in union shops? I know that unions are a good thing but I feel like I'm not in a position where I would benefit from one.
I don't benefit from one
They got to em. RIP to this user 😔
Without a union, those things can be cut at any time. The best time to unionize is when things are good
The question is:
What are they getting out of your relationship that more worth it to them?
Anonny should just stay looking all the time. Tbh everyone should, it can't hurt!
Finding a job is a game of roulette. You spin and you hope for the best.
I've got to say, I've done better every time I changed jobs. But I also turned down a fair number of offers once I realized what the business was actually doing.
Sometimes you get a job just to be closer to where you want to work, so you can keep applying for the better job until you land it.
There are a ton of jobs are are cool to have. They are rare, but if you have a good marketable skill they are pretty easy to find. I love my job. I not making the most, but 180k a year is very livable and investing early in my life had made a good nest egg
I don't know where you live and what currency you're talking about, but 180k € a year in Germany would put you in the top 2% of highest incomes in the whole country. That's waaaaaay above "livable".
There are cities in the US where that's about middle class, I'm assuming that's where they're from
I live in California. It's a working class wage and will make it so i have a modesto pension, but my real money will come from my investments. I should have 4.5 million saved by retirement unless everything goes belly up.
I used to make 100k a yr in 2000, and i will tell you what i was middle class then. To have the same purchasing power i would need to make 350k a year. I've had to cut back a lot.
I would hate to be a new person entering this economy now, it would be even worse. The average mortgage for a median house here is 4.5k a month. After taxes and living expenses making my salary would be almost impossible to start a family as a single income household. I wouldn't call that middle class. I would call that working poor.
Wait... sorry? In what world is 180k USD/year "working class"? I make the equivalent of like 70k/year before my nordic-country taxes take their share. That puts me decently well off here, at least above "working class" wage. I was in the US a couple years back, and prices were lower than they are here.
Like, at 70k/yr (before Nordic taxes), I felt like I was pretty well off in the US. Definitely not lower-end at least. How on earth does that translate to 180k/yr being "working class"?
made a good meat egg
Sir, they're called Scotch eggs
