mind=blown at how QUICKLY life goes downhill when you get a 9-5 job

[in4l8r]

wtf else are you going to do for 40-50 hours a week (srs)? I wish we get more vacation in the US because it's hard to find time to travel, but honestly, are you really going to be productive during those 40 hours you wouldn't be working?

[doomritual89]

3 hours of free time and OP is whining. My routine is:

Wake up 530 have breakfast etc etc
between 6 and 615am in the gym (Gym very close to home)
8am heading to work (2 hours getting to work)
10am start work can only leave at 7pm, whether I wanna take my 1 hour lunch break or not is up to me but I can't leave before 7.
7pm head back home (another 2 hours going back home)

It's already 9pm and I gotta be up by 530. On the verge of committing suicide.

[NY5000]

every week there is a ten page thread on how much 9-5 sucks. You guys are doing it wrong

BRB nice, salaried office job
BRB never at the office later than 4pm
BRB work from home twice per week - nice balance

[aevn]

Working more than 40 hrs/week is not "working so much." Or maybe they're all French.

I just don't understand how people don't have the ambition to succeed in the world. Working 40 hrs/week and making $50k/year is like being content with benching 135. These people aren't even trying.

some people want to be good/successful at things which might not be their career

some people want to make enough to do the things theyre interested not just make as much $$$ possible

people like you expect everyone to be proud about spending the majority of their life in an office doing unimportant work which is very depressing especially since they seem to be the majority

of course this doesnt include people who are genuinely passionate about their jobs

edit:lmao you can already see in this thread all the ****s who tell op to harden up cause they do 50-60 hrs a week and only have 2hrs free time a day like its something to be proud of

if you can create value or a service for people you can make money while you do whatever you wanna do all day, and you wake up when you want brah. It's all about financial freedom, and constant income. you don't wanna trade hours for money, you wanna trade value for money. you can't get those hours of your life back brah.

You would have those 4 hours of free time if you moved closer to your workplace

i wish goodluck to all who read this message

[Mavex]

-8 hours sleep

lmfao @ wasting 8 hours sleeping every day. you gotta learn to get by with 5-6 hours son

[squeak419]

9-5 crew. Enjoy it crew.

Make the most of the opportunity you're given. The time and hours you work are irrelevant if you at least somewhat enjoy/have a passion for your job. Decent pay is just a bonus.

I hope those ITT who aren't happy with their lifestyle find what they're looking for. There's no lack of potential or opportunity out there.

We're all gonna make it.

[Ittoryu]

I had the same mindset when I first started (I do 8-4 though, hours are flexible, just need to do 40 whenever) internship but after a month I got used to it and realized it's pretty chill. I work for half the time, talk with my coworkers, and Misc/surf/read when I feel like it. If I land the job, it's even better, can work from home in my pajamas, making a good salary, working for a while, watching TV, playing video games or w/e.

Sure I'd love my own business where I make even more money, but it ain't all that bad.

Lol no. If you hate your job you would probably quit it. Or work harder so you can get into a position to quit it. In any case, your job should be used as a ladder to get to a better position. If you just stay working in a job you hate, that's another form of failure IMO.

Am I the only guy here who actually LIKES my job?

I like mine. That's what's important to me.

[SDK1990]

The way I see it, there's three options:

1) You can do something you absolutely love to do but it's probably going to pay you **** all.
2) You can do something you absolutely hate but that pays you well.
3) You can do something you don't mind that pays you enough.

[xmikeman]

It could be a lot worse. I'm 20 and work an IT job for a school district. It's pretty easy and pays relatively well for someone without a degree or certs. It'll be good for my resume once I go for a CCNA or something.

[Xylo]

the misc - where investment bankers and working up to be a CEO is praised, but working 9 -5 is shamed

[Rawrzilla]

TFW working 7:30 to 10 PM with only the thought of retiring by 32 driving me : (

[Dallasbroski]

damn lol props to u...and yeah I need to ****, shower, and eat like a normal person

How many hours a week do you expect to work at 35, 45 and 55 years old?

[ttaylor0024]

Lol no. If you hate your job you would probably quit it. Or work harder so you can get into a position to quit it. In any case, your job should be used as a ladder to get to a better position. If you just stay working in a job you hate, that's another form of failure IMO.

Right? I don't know why people work at something they hate, it only makes it worse.

Right now I only really work 6 hours a day tops, most days are less. Of course, I am also a flight instructor so I make my own hours and don't have many students because I'm living the Navy life soon.

And just lol at willingly not getting 8 hours of sleep a night at least if you can help it. Sleep is life.

[kingofturtles]

ill be working 11/12 hour shifts soon. 7am-pm or 7pm-6am. Not happy.

[koreangenetics]

How many hours a week do you expect to work at 35, 45 and 55 years old?

[LaxinAround]

You haven't done **** yet. Speak up again once you're living it. Also posting to remind myself to neg the 23 y.o entrepreneur with it all figured out passing judgement on others.

Did the college to 8-5 route. Its not bad, ups & downs. Tbh personally I hate corporate 'culture' I've experienced thus far more than the hours/commute combined. I was simply not designed to appreciate **** like "wacky sweater Fridays".

I'm looking to make a change myself. One thing I'm finally realizing that I'd always taken as common knowledge without fully understanding is that nothing just falls into your lap, you need to consciously put fourth effort to change your situation if you're unhappy. Don't and you'll blink once and 10 years will have flown by leaving you right where you are now.

[Handy777]

Doesn't sound bad at all to me.

1. Be grateful you even have a job.
2. That's a decent amount of spare time.
3. Gym is part of your spare time, bro. It's a choice.

[Cynic09]

Welcome to life.

I don't think that's being weak. They just have different interests than working so much or chasing money. Not everyone has the same dreams and goals in life

this

[CharolaisBull]

But with a good job, you can afford drugs, booze and sloots. Party it up every weekend and do plenty of drugs and drink plenty of alcohol to forget about your miserable existence until you wake up on Monday.

[k1ckstand]

do you even lift bro? who doesnt include that as part of their "no choice" schedule.. C'mooon maaan

yeah I don't go to the gym the same time everyday though

you want to know when I fap also?

[Jhawth]

I used to have an hour commute to work and over an hour on the way home. I wanted to kill everyone almost every time driving to work and back. My job now is 12 minute drive from my house and the gym is about a 4 minute drive from my house. So much better, having a short drive to work has made a huge difference for me in my happiness.
