Does Anyone Else Just Not Like to Work...
I'm using a throwaway account here, although my username is kinda cool.
But the point I wanted to ask was: does anyone else just not like to work? I recently left a job that was driving me crazy and happened to join a new gig that's paying the exact same amount but is remote. I won't go into details about my previous jobs but I've had this weird feeling in my heart where I've never been happy in any job I had (except working at a country club where I smoked weed, got paid $400 a day, and walked 14 miles carrying golf bags). When I look at my resume, it's almost like I failed upward, but I still feel like I'm never happy.
I honestly don't know why this is the case. I came from a blue collar job, 1st gen American and college graduate... by all means I should be happy I'm more successful than my parents. But with every job comes a big question of "Is this something I really see myself doing as a career? Maybe, but I feel like I can do something else I like more..." and the cycle continues and continues. At first I wanted to do something with the stock market, then maybe wealth management, perhaps joining a company and finding a career there? But with every decision comes a wave of indecision, it's like I'm never allowing myself to be happy because I know I just don't like working. This makes me beg the question, was I destined to be a bum? It doesnt seem that far fetched, my friends who work in IB and work crazy hours seem to not mind it, the friends I have that only "do what I'm told to do" also enjoy life, and here I am stuck trying to find my joy in someone else's reality.
I seem to have the "Grass is greener" syndrome where I'm constantly questioning my current position in life. I could be "traumatized" from my last job where leaving at 5pm was a cardinal sin, but I've also had jobs where I did leave at 5pm but was unhappy due to my own ego and believing "I'm better than these people, I need to work at (inset large money manager)".
I hope I don't come across as a pretentious prick, I could just be having my first quarter life crisis and needed a place to vent.
Yes, you were destined to be a bum since you’re from a blue collar background.
I knew it, damn :/
Yes. You are inferior.
stop trying to seek fulfillment from ur career. It's a means to an end.
Ur right dawg
Tbf i think caddying ruined corporate roles for me too
Being 16 and smoking swank while dishing out green reads were the highlight of my teen years.
As they say...
If it was fun and fulfilling to do on its own, they wouldn't need to pay you to do it
