my plan after graduating is getting what you call ”low skilled jobs” but in reality theyre just as important as other jobs. everybody looks at me like i am braindead when i tell them i dont really have many career ambitions other than that.
i dont want to do hard stuff like medicine or law because i dont feel like im made for that (but i respect people in those fields immensely). i dont want to invest in property and rent it out (hell no). i dont want to invest in weird companies ran by some guy in the Eipstein files. i dont want to get a corporate job where i sit on my ass and do nothing.
i honestly dont even want to go to college atleast right now. why does everybody act like you have to have a mystical job with 3 Phds.
i feel like some people insist that you go get that degree immediately simply because they have so much disdain for work (nothing wrong with doing that if thats what you want to do of course).
why do some people act like youre an inferior lifeform for wanting to work as a barista or at a grocery store. our lives would collapse without those workers there.
i do want to do things with my life and have ambitions in general but its not about capital... i want to improve my social life, start sewing, watch movies, go to my first concert, go to therapy, spend time with my family and so much more.
the job is just supposed to fund that and help me remain in touch with my community and be expected to be somewhere so that i dont die all alone and nobody finds my corpse for months on end...
having been there, and lived it, it's because people are aware that 《customers》(not individually) are pieces of shit and look down on you for having an "inferior" station and treat you thusly. In places where you have the public consumer as a customer (rather than larger ticket but fewer clients) the likelihood of you running into an awful "bad apple" customer increases exponentially.
Then (honestly? this rest of this applies to literally any job anywhere) there's management bearing down on you... if you give 110% they'll treat it like 90% and ask for more so it's easy for a go-getter to burn out. And depending on your luck you've got workplace politics. Wish more places were more simply clock-in, do what you're expected, clock-out, make money.
