TopicIs it normal to compare oneself to others and feel objectively inferior to them?

Normal to compare and, if you aren't as far as them, normal to feel bad about it. However, given that Linkedin accounts frequently exaggerate accomplishments, you shouldn't take it at face value. And, quite honestly, you *should* be trying to pursue opportunities in your field while in college.

I only work part-time and go to school part-time. I've had only one job throughout the course of my human life. I know that this isn't an actual problem, but it still bothers me how people about my age have been far more productive than me


You're very far behind the 8-ball although a lot of non-career work is just making money to either pay tuition (thus reducing potential debt) or for fun. It's not necessarily a huge thing, although you're going to want to graduate with as little debt as possible. Basically if you can work more hours while handling a course-load, you should do it.

Otherwise is there any reason why you're attending school full-time and working? If it's to avoid debt, if you have a major that can get you a high-paying career, you're usually better off taking the debt and entering the workforce sooner because that will help you compound your lifetime earnings. And then you'd just try to minimize expenses until the debt is cleared away.

I don't understand.


He's joking. The implication is that he's better (or, at the very least, distinguishes himself by not giving a shit)
