it's hard to not see how far behind you are from where you should be

How can you not feel bad if you are making $10/hr for a $20/hr job. You may as well just get a $10 job so you don't have to care as much.

and, unfortunately, not likely to make it up, for no reason other than bad timing. - znufrii Feb 17, 19:23 2
- and it's not just getting your salary up to where it should be. All those years of making less means so much less paid on a mortgage or to retirement -- nm - zork Feb 17, 19:31 1
  - definitely. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 19:44
this is it precisely. is the stress worth what I'm making? is "having a job" enough? - sluttella Feb 17, 19:22 8
- speaking as someone who don't got one, it's not bad. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 19:25 2
  - it's splitting hairs, you're right. but a job that you feel is fair-paying and a "job" are two different things. - sluttella Feb 17, 19:29 1
    - your thing is way better than temping. I do see your point, though. -- nm - loosilu Feb 17, 19:35
- An English prof didn't make tenure, so she dropped down to lecturer. She's so much happier now. -- nm - nubby Feb 17, 19:24 4
  - I have really minimal student loans and I keep telling myself that my job until fall 2011 is to pay those off so I can go back to school. if I hate - sluttella Feb 17, 19:27 3
    - I don't like these Mandy show prospects. Can't you go back to hosiery for us? -- nm - zork Feb 17, 19:29 2
      - are you joking? back in school is great ratings! my doa was the "gay waiter who flamed out and quit" on the restaurant. - sluttella Feb 17, 19:31 1
