I don't know, I'm a maintenance man, and while I do have busy periods when things go wrong in the building I do just sit on my ass doing my own life stuff most of the time.

And even then, I want to leave. The reality is the pay isn't all that great (good enough, but I want more!), and I feel like I'm just wasting my life away. At work I used to work on my hobbies, now I mostly just scroll bullshit. It's gotten stale and depressing.

That said, I'm certainly not on 80k. That's insane numbers. Nothing pays like that anymore unless you're bringing serious money into the company.

My mum used to write for property and interior design magazines/websites. For the same job title she had about 20-30 years ago at the same company, they've added more responsibility and the wages are the exact same - as in the purchasing power has been halved. I will never have it as good as my parents had it.
