i have a decent job and make decent money and can pivot to whatever i want, but the fact is that i hate the principle of having to work. maybe the idea of working for myself is slightly better than to have to work for others, but i would still much rather be on a beach somewhere, be rich and relax. anyone else w this problem? alternatively, anyone with a solution on how to get rid of this mentality?FYR i’m quite young, 24F

You and about 99% of the working world hates working. Best advice, work hard early and find some balance, then when you have a cushy couple million in the bank at age 30 you can semi retire and maybe work 3 days a week. Otherwise you may need to find a way to get job that has you working part time and then you can just be poor and not work that hard.
Million of Zimbabwe Dollars maybe lmao
Couple million by 30? lmao what. Not possible unless you strike gold via starting your own business.
Now by 40 most can achieve some degree of financial independence
For real. Even your GS TMT -> MF PE guys aren't sitting on a couple million cash after under a decade of working. Let alone someone who doesn't like working and is clearly not interested in that type of grindy job lol
Feel exactly the same way. Rather than try and get rid of this mentality, I fucking embrace it.
That means I hustle hard, actively look for and pursue side hustles, job and investment opportunities like a mofo. Want to be out of the game as soon as I can, sitting on a beach with the lady doing whatever I want.
This is how almost everyone feels...
24F?
Go find the nearest medical school or residency program and start batting your eye lashes, you will be ok soon enough
You have to go to med school before residency and all of this is hard work. Even studying for the MCAT is harder than any other entrance exam. Then MD admissions is probably more competitive than any other program.
I don't think MonkeyNoise was actually advising her to apply to med school or residency....
XXDDD
Right there with ya. Figure out what kind of lifestyle you want in 10 years, 20 years etc and work for that sole reason. Also find a job/comp that supports it. -If you don't want a 6 million dollar house in the Hamptons don't bust your brains out working 80 hours a week.
yeah this makes sense
Lmaooooo
lmaoo the fact that women think their highest calling is working is hilarious.
A. They absolutely add 0 value compared to men, they have no skills which are valuable in the workforce, they most likely decrease value
B. It doesn't make sense from an efficiency POV for both women and men to work and then both women and men to raise the child, clean the house etc
C. Women are not happier working than raising children and any woman that thinks that working>raising a literal human is retarded. The fact that we got to this point is the biggest corporate psy op
You're publicly a sexist?
yes
Maybe women would be happier raising children vs working IF they find the right husband. But to say they add NO value at work is insane. Actually did you know if you look at IQ women have the higher average IQ. I will say men are the outliers on both sides though so odds are the highest IQ on the planet is a man and the lowest IQ is likely Patric Basedman.
🤡
Based af
Totally feel you. Honestly just want to be a high school teacher or a sports coach or something lol
Not with that username
Touche
its been really helpful knowing there’s so many of you out there feeling the same way - what steps are y’all taking to get out of this bs?
I don't know if I would take my advice from 'rimjob_steve' (above) if I were you....
if working isn't an option, maybe you better rush to hit rich guys and become a stay-home-Queen before you loose your looks. Otherwise, welcome to men's world where work is a non-negotiable
Ahh, the plight of the young, educated, employed female. "things are really good for me but like it would be great if mommy and daddy had a trust fund so I could just like chill all the time". If you're looking to be rich and relax, better start hitting up dudes with yachts because that's the quickest path for a 24 year old female.
Look, it would be great to be rich and be able to do whatever I want but it's simply not realistic. You want to know how I got rid of that mentality? I grew up.
Suck it up buttercup
Crime Marry hustle or scrape by
You could prostitute yourself on the side. Women empowerment and all that
YAAAAAS KWEEEN. As a boss bitch, OP should definitely whore herself out to take women' right another important leap forward!
You sound like the kind of person who could be interested in FIRE (financially independent retire early). Although most people don’t want to retire early, having the OPTION to is what most people chase. Optionality allows you to take a sabbatical when you want, be picky with the freelancing work you do want to take on, and work as much as you feel like it!
I know, but becoming FIRE isn’t that easy and everyone seems to be trying to achieve this anyway
yes I cant stand working too. but I am working on starting an unsexy business and hiring people to run it.
yeah i wouldn't mind running my own business as long as it doesn't consume my life i think
I love to work. I dislike taking orders from others and limiting my self direction by being a cog in a machine. Back to your situation, I'd just start dating a few years older and try to lock something down. Good luck
Are you hot/attractive? If so, just go the tradwife route
