Like I'm in grad school and I just work at a grocery store part time to pay the bills and they keep talking about how I could be a manager for the grocery store someday

Like seriously I have a BA and I'm getting an MS why the fuck would I become a grocery store manager? I'm probably going to work in academia in a few years >_>

"I'm just working this job to pay the bills."

Isn't that what everyone is doing?

I dunno if this is a troll topic, but there was a time when you could earn a very respectable living being a grocery store manager, so in her mind it's probably good advice.

To work you're way up to a corporate position, maybe? Perhaps you'll make CEO someday.

You still can, depending on the store and location.

Just so you know the current CEO of McDonalds used to work in one of the restaurants as a manager.

I know a few retired folk who do jobs to keep themselves occupied (after all, if you stop moving around when you retire you usually don't last long) or for some extra spending money, usually for grandkids and the like. But they're also the type who were born right at the cut off point before Reagan and his successors helped strip down 401ks, other retirement plans and of course stock options from a lot of standard workers. That said, there's plenty of others their age who made the cut off but were in soon to be outsourced or redundant industries and lost out on a lot of those comforts if they reached retirement age.

But besides those old folk? I don't know anyone who works just to work it is for bills or to save for something for their family or home.

Actually you're right. I'm just really used to SoCal, where the cost of living is insane and wages go nowhere near as far.

God, I would want to off myself if I was a grocery store manager.

People think its easy. Its not.

At least for the chain I work for, I dunno, it could be different / better for other chains.
