That super high paying competitive physics job I wanted? I hate it. In residency, guaranteed to make 150k+ In 18 months, but its so mind numbing and frustrating. I just want out and to study CS.

No longer talk to the Nepali girl I was going out in grad school. Found tinder pretty easy, dating has become more of a hobby, if I dont have a date in a weekend its rare. But its taxing and frustrating. Girls like me enough to stay around for a while, but not to turn into a girlfriend. The last two I really liked and I thought would work had unexpectedly had to move to Britain and Kuwait, so we stopped because emotions and such.

Changed my style and through out all my old clothes. Id say this is the thing that actually helped me with girls, going from cargo shorts and graphic tees to dressing stylish enough to get complimented offen.

Read some and play piano in my free time. Played my first recital recently, pretty fun.

Just dealing with depression in the rest of my time, caused by me feeling unfulfilled with my career. I just dont become buddy-buddy with hospital-types. Theyre good people, but not my people.

And Im realizing jobs suck. School is awesome, jobs are so inefficient and waste so much time and have so many pointless things. You lose hope you make a difference in the world. You do a good job and be efficient in school? You got an A and free time. You do a good job and be efficient at work? You get the same pay and more work.

His mom found out about him posting here at one point and she made him get off this place for like 6 months to a full year. It was amazing.

False. Jobs are awesome. School sucks.

Sure, you may spend a little less time on average in class on a daily basis, but the time that you're not in class? It's not your time. You're studying, writing essays, doing homework, stressing over all the other school-related shit you have to do in addition to attending class.

Work may be 9-5, which is longer than most people probably spend on campus on a daily basis, but once I step out that door, my brain is cleared of all work-related shit, and 5-1130 is 100% ME time (plus weekends, which, again, with school, are not as fun because you've got papers and shit, whereas Friday at 5PM to Sunday at 1130PM is ALL MEEEEEE).

Oh and you get paid to do your job, whereas you're paying for school.

That really depends on your job muffinman. I'm technically on call 24/7 and "have to" respond to emails.

For both of my jobs

I mean yeah it does depend, but I always figured a majority of white collar jobs are typical 9-5s.

What do you do? I can't imagine living a life where my brain has to be on 24/7.

I'm going to be vague with my answer because I don't want anyone here trying to get me in trouble at work

I do consulting for large companies that have contracts with other large companies. This is my career and what I wasted 6 years of my life in college for.

I also manage the shipping department for a company. This was just supposed to be temporary while they found someone else to do it (I'm friends with the gm and his dad owns the company). They made me a really nice offer tho after 3 months so I think I'm gonna ride this out. The hours work for me, 3rd shift so I'm not losing any time with my son and I can get some of my reports for job 1 done while I get paid for job 2.

The first job is only on call in the sense that if the company needs to ask me a question about something I did they email me and I respond.

The 2nd job is the same but with the addition of needing to come in if 1st or 2nd has a serious issue or an "emergency" order. It hasn't happened yet but there is always the possibility.

I really need to start playing piano.


My advice is to get an 88-key weighted keyboard and lessons.
