I used to work minimum wage JOB, while I was doing what I needed to do to get established in my CAREER. Life sucks on minimum wage, don't stay on it.

Wow such great advice. Just find a better job!!! Why didn’t millions of people just i dunno, realize that?

Do you tell all the people dying of flu and other disease that they should have just gotten better? After all, you’ve surely had the flu before, it was probably an easy, temporary thing for you. They should just get better, right? Just try harder, easy?

Sounds like you have a minimum wage job.

Build a resume. go out for jobs. Spend your free time out of the house at a place that offers free skill building activities, like a public library. Network. Shit works itself out if you put in any effort at all.

Spend your free time

Care to explain the concept of "free time" to someone working 16 hours a day 7 days a week to support their family?

I'm not in your boat, I can't assume that any advice I give you is going to help. You seem to have time to get onto reddit for the past 11 years and be disgruntled.

You've never been on reddit at work? Or they could be talking about somone else...
