gf is giving up corporate job to be a server. wtf lol

[MurphDirtyX]

Lol Age 26.

Saddle up ******* your gonna have a very disappointed life of head shaking moments with this one.

Married at 26.... Lol...

Edit: saw it said GF. Op is safe

[AiHatecrime]

I came from a serving job to an IT job, I like my specific job, but if I had to work help desk, I'd go back too. F*ck that noise. I don't blame her at all.

I hope you two have a strong relationship. If she does this, it will really be a test because working in a restaurant is a heavy culture of alcohol, drugs, sex, and partying. Hooked up with multiple coworkers that had "boyfriends" during my time in the restaurant. Good luck.

She is 22. Chit is gonna happen.

[KingOfCreatine]

OP, cheat on her before she cheats on you. Call up her friend that she wants to work with, and go to poundtown. Then from there, go to NC on an extended vacation from this terrible girlfriend of yours. Take charge, be the bad guy, so you don't become the beta guy.

I'd give her a tip... THE TIP, yeah jeets. But srs if she's not happy she should at least figure out what she wants to do. Serving is not a career.

[John L]

Cook checking in, lol at everyone trying to scare opie. Since when are restaurants these huge orgies? Only on the misc, I swear lol.

Your main concern should be that your girlfriend is screwing herself by making this kind of choice, it is bonkers. Talk to her about it and hopefully it was just some knee jerk reaction to a bad day at work or something.

[Burgerbuger]

I don't blame her because Desktop support sucks ass.

[HeidiDynamite]

I did this. Ended up back at a desk job after 6months. Learned a lot about life tho.
She'll figure her **** out.

[deezd]

IT is just not for her.

I'm in the field and I can understand her.

The problem is that it isn't just IT. ANY job that pays well will be stressful as fuk (srs).

Desktop support is a different kind of stress than other IT jobs such as programming (what I do).

The chit I do is stressful because you have a system with thousands of lines of code and 1 fukken thing is wrong and then you have to look at the blob of chit (code) to figure out whats wrong and you have to do it in a timely manner. it's a bitch.

i've contemplated changing careers several times (going for something less stressful) but I like money too much fukken lulz.

im currently interviewing for a position paying 145k base (Sr. position) which is just going to add to the stress... but this chit is like crack brah.

eventually i might snap, quit my job, move to a remote island and sell coconuts for a living. lel

dont quit brah, i have family friends who is a softward ENG and hes fkn killing it in silicon valley, somewhere around 200k, hes been busting his ass and will retire at 50 in Spain with a paid off house, and not having to work for like 10 years.

Tough it out for as long as possible while youre young and then get something more chill until your ready to call it quits. 145k is nothing to laugh at.

[WSG1]

If she is unhappy, let her go a different route. People change careers all the time because it wasnt like it seemed.

[94beastmode]

Calling bull****. IT desk support 60K hell no they don't make that much

[BK909]

1. She wants some new D.
2. Her boyfriend at work has been bragging about all the nasty things he did to her.
3. Shes gone full retard.

If you want to date a server then "support" her and if you don't want to date a server "support" her and then dump her after she changes jobs.

I have some bad news brother

IDC abouts OPs story, I wanna know if restaurants are really all out fuk fests. GF just interviewed for a job at a new high end-ish restaurant in t.o FUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[JustMoved24]

Shes gonna try to live off you now. Make sure shes taking her birth control brah.

[Fiz-iks]

I can see giving up a corporate job if you wanted to go do something you really loved. For example, if you were a fitness enthusiast and you wanted to give up your IT job to open a personal training business or if you were really into nature and you wanted to open a tour guide business.

I can't really understand someone giving up that much $$ to go do something that's not really a "dream". Restaurants are fun places to work, don't get me wrong, but they aren't career builders.

It seems like she just wants a more relaxed atmosphere, with more fun (parties, drinking, etc.) She's probably hearing stories from her friend about all the fun things she gets to do like going to the beach, partying after work, and clubbing with people their age from the restaurant. Meanwhile she's at her IT desk listening to Fat Bob talk about his fantasy football draft and Lazy Susan is complaining about her little dick husband.

[Swiftor]

sloot logic

[Krunk Fu]

Sounds like wife material... congrats!

After you get married, she quits her job and just serves you food.
After you have a kid, she quits serving you food and only serves your child.
After your kid enters teen years, she quits serving both of you and tells you to 'Quit your bitching, or you won't get a handy'.

[moblife]

lol at finishing college just to work at some dump...women logic. life isn't always fun. work hard play hard. she obviously just wants fun all the time OPIE. Keep an eye on that one.

[Feels Goodman]

Well, she better be cute at least

[cobrah85]

Sounds like you have different priorities in life, if something like this is a problem there's going to be more on the way.

[Jms89]

Lol time for new GF dude....i have no time for people that can't push themselves and do things that are "tough". Phukin go to school, get a degree that pays 50k, then give it up to be a poverty server. Gooby plz.

[hermanmunster2]

stay safe brah, servers frequently sleep around with other servers


lol @ "easier to make friends"


I think we both know what she means by that

Qft

[Croatbrah]

inb4 OP proposes to her at an EDM concert

[Jaydawg08]

Calling bull****. IT desk support 60K hell no they don't make that much

She makes about 50k now. She'd get promoted to some other position. Company promotes from within.

[imbuff12345]

lmao u reallly know how to pick em OP. do yourself a favor and dump ur dumb, ambition less GF and find someone worthwhile

[Repbrah85]

Have you ever worked a job you didn't like? It sucks, let her work a different job.

This. I took a 5K a year paycut to work a job I enjoyed doing a lot more. Quality of life is a lot higher. Plus she's 22, she can always go back and do something else down the road. The fuk do you care what she does as long as she is happy and not hurting you or your relationship?

I program in order to finance my dream of buying that remote island and consuming the coconuts which you will sell to me out of your canoe.

Srs, though, I'm a mid-level programmer for web applications, pulling right at $100k. It's hard to tell whether I'm right about at the median or getting screwed over by about $20k. What is your opinion on this, given the current job market?

Also, OP needs a new g/f. Sorry, sloot, but money is fungible. Every dime you don't pull down is a dime you're eventually going to ask me to spend on you.

[RealAesthetic]

never trust a service industry hoe.. never
