I’m lucky that I can say yes. That said, I still wouldnt do it for free. What about you, how do you feel about your job/career/field in general?

    My job is super important. I am proud. I work in security for medical records.

    However, most people shit all over me for it. It sucks. It’s ‘not a real job’. I regularly get lectured by people about my job when I meet them. A lot of my first dates end pretty quickly after my job comes up.

    I will never understand why. I make a great salary and great benefits too. But people seem to assume I must be some dumbass loser weirdo.

        150K. People tell me it is not enough to be happy or secure, esp women on dates. They say I have ‘no future’ or ‘you are not successful in life’.

        I feel pretty happy and secure and successful.

            Yes, USD. There are no people I meet anymore who think it’s a good salary. They think it’s poverty.

            I was at a party two nights ago and people asked me what I did, and they immediately excused themselves once they found out my job.

              The median US full time salary is 62k, you’re earning 2 and a half times that. Anyone who tells you that’s poverty is either full of shit or deliberately trying to bring you down.

                No, they are just people who make 200K-300K and think they are in poverty and struggling, so they think anyone who makes slightly less must also be living on the streets.

                They don’t acknowledge that people who make 62K are people. They are NPCs to them. And I am too.

                  i agree with you and everyone else here. you are finding the wrong people in the wrong places.

                  that said… sorry, but ‘everyone’ isnt making 2-300k everywhere. you are causing your own bias somehow, somewhere in your selection process. there is no other rational explanation using, ya know, math.

                    the median income in my city is well over 100K. you have to drive over an hour or two away to find median incomes in the 62K range.
