[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're pleased with this? Why?[/quote]

OP here. I meant to say that I'd be satisfied with almost any path she chooses.[/quote]

Problem with this path is that she needs to find someone who will support and take care of her as an adult and never change their mind. That’s a tough life. [/quote]

It’s really not that tough.  Working your ass off at a job you hate (or merely tolerate) for a boss and coworkers who don’t appreciate you, commuting through traffic for a couple hours every day, barely seeing your spouse, barely seeing your kids… now THAT’S a tough life.[/quote]

Why would you do that?  I mean, you can do any job you want to do.  Why pick one you hate?  [/quote]

The vast majority of people are working to out food on the table, princess.  Most jobs that need to be done aren’t anyone’s dream jobs.  Pull your head out, please.[/quote]

The vast majority of people on this site went to college and many went to grad school.  There aren’t a lot of factory workers here.  
You deliberately chose your field, you deliberately chose the job you have in it, and you deliberately choose to go to that job every day instead of getting a different one.  
If you are doing something you hate, that’s on you.  [/quote]

Have you always been a miserable B or are you just grumpy about the inauguration?

Are you under the impression that white collar workers don’t hate their jobs?  I would bet that many factory workers actively have more job satisfaction than the average sales call powerpoint making office worker.  You are so out of touch it’s laughable.

But, like many, I didn’t know at 18 (when I started down my difficult and time-consuming career path) that the extremely useful, practical field I chose to study wouldn’t lead to ever lasting contentment and happiness.  So you know what I did?  I quit to be a SAHM!  My kids make me way happier than dealing with entitled people like you every day…[/quote]

I’m not miserable.  I, like most people who have the option, chose a career that I like. Sounds like you are happy in your chosen career too.

I don’t know who the poor soul is that is commuting to a job they hate with coworkers and a boss that don’t appreciate them and a family that doesn’t see them and doesn’t miss them. 
I hope that person is able to see that they have other options.
