If you are talented enough and sought after enough, there will always be work. I think people that are unhappy in their jobs need to ask a few questions:

1. Am I that valuable? Am I better at my job than most others & can I prove that?

2. Did I pursue the right thing and educate myself/prepare myself to be in control?

3. Do I have the courage and ability and work ethic to take control of my own financial life?

4. Why am I unhappy? Is it the work that I do? Am I bad at my job? Is it the culture? Money? Etc...

A lot of people hate their job unfortunately and that's sad. At the same time, many people over value themselves. If you are truly special other companies where you have more choice in the people you work with/for, the culture, pay, etc.. Will always be available.

If you aren't anything special (nothing wrong with that, sometimes just paying the bills is good enough), does your unhappiness stem really from that? Can you escape that even if you go to another company? Sometimes when it's every job you hate and you are the only constant variable might be time to look in the mirror.

It sucks, but my advice would be to be honest with yourself, control what you can & if you have the courage/finances to do your own thing, try it.

Man, I agree with his life philosophy but that was a rough video. He did not give you any actual tangible advice on how to quit your job in 2016 but pitched you his $40 per month online school in order to find out.

I also don't get why the emphasis on less college (isn't he a doctor who got his degrees from a college?) & paying for his online course instead? He made it about race when he previously cited and acknowledged that now more than ever there is unprecedented opportunity for all people to be entrepreneurs. Just a really odd video that ended up being an infomercial for his online courses.

I agree with you, this sounded more like a pitch for his online school rather than "how to quit your job". I think his emphasis on less college was because of the increased cost nowadays, though. He advocated going to a state school over a private, for that reason. and apparently his kids went to school so I think that bit about choosing his online school over university was just part of his pitch.

[313]

Well like the Dr. Said in that video - he works harder as an entrepreneur than he did in corporate but I think people romanticize "the other side". There will always be conflict and bad days etc...I think the practice that is best is being able to separate momentary stress vs actual legit problems and unhappiness.

Sure but if felt really disingenuous. The cost thing was more to make his $40 class appear like a deal. I don't see any evidence that college is a losing proposition or at least he didn't provide that info. Especially with minorities getting entry into universities on their own merits, special program and all of the financial aid/grants/scholarships/athletics available I think it's still a worthy cause.

I also disagree about the pointing out that "you can't get this" or "you can't get that" at those universities. Just not true at all. At all. Many universities have business owners come and speak all the time, job placement centers & special access to job fairs.

I'm all for anyone pursuing the dream, but on one hand he says he wants to give you the black experience but then cites a lack of diversity from universities because there aren't many black professors.

Well, would you get the same sheltered POV from just hearing the black side of things as well?? Especially when whites still make up a large percent of the population and represent a large portion of employment for all races.

Anyways, apologies, not the point of the thread and kind of a separate issue.

[johnsmith]

I used to love my job and then last year a competitor talked me into going over to their company and threw a bunch of money at me. It ultimately was about 75% more and I was doing pretty well before that.

Worst fucking decision I've ever made or will ever make in my life. I fucking despise my company, all the people that work for me, all the people that I work for. Not a day goes by where I don't fantasize about murdering everyone. I routinely buy lottery tickets now and I never had bought one in my life prior to that.

Moral to the story....money isn't everything. I had no idea either.

I was happy just to have a job right after college, good money and great hours. I was never willing to settle on that, though. Running a business was a far more fulfilling use of my energy.

If 80k is unlivable when you literally have no responsibilities, you were probably born with money and have no idea how to manage it. Either that or you are so deep into student loans and CC debt that... yeah, you still don't know how to manage it.

[spurraider21]

I've got 1 more year of schooling left before I can really get involved in this conversation. Through the last few years I've made an effort to get as much diverse work experience as I could. Figured it was the best way to really figure out what I enjoy doing while also diversifying my resume

- Interned at a PI firm last summer. Wasn't a big fan of spending my days reaching out to doctors and insurance... not a line of work I ever see myself setting into. I know there's money to be made there, but that isn't my only motivation for going to law school. The firm was nice, though. I started off as a standard unpaid intern but they appreciated my effort and started paying me anyway.

- This past fall I worked at the superior court (received units for school, so no pay). I was assigned to the labor/equity division and I hated it. Basically just dealing with employment issues for county workers... discipline, discrimination, retaliation, etc. Just a bunch of HR shit and the main thing I learned is that it's next to damn impossible to fire a county employee no matter how shitty they are :lol

- Had a GREAT experience this past spring, clerking for a judge at the superior court. He was doing probate but got transferred to civil, so for most of the semester I saw nothing but jury trials with some big money involved (first case ended up settling for something around 6 mil... but the dude lost his leg so he deserved it :lol). Coolest part was actually drafting one of his statements of decision for a previous probate matter... it's not something a lot of law students get to do. But the trials were a great learning experience, considering I was also taking Evidence and Trial Practice as courses this semester. But I didn't get paid for this gig, got units again.

- Currently working for a workers comp insurance and general civil lit firm. Getting 20/hour on a full time basis which is pretty good coin for a student. I'm only about a week in at this point so I can't really comment much, but so far the work seems interesting. My assignments have been very research oriented to this point, haven't really gotten hands-on in the litigation process yet.

goal is to extern either for the DA or Public Defender's office this coming fall. Pretty sure I'd like defense work better but students can do a lot more working for the DA (can actually argue in prelim hearings), so I might go that way just for the experience



but :lmao at people saying they can't live off 80k per year. If you're a single male there's no reason why "you can't live" off it. Yeah, you dont get all the luxuries and shit, but how much of a princess do you have to be to actually say you can't live :lol

[benefactor]

I think outside of pay rates the people you work with makes a huge difference when it comes to job satisfaction. Working with a bunch of douchebags will make even the most glamorous job miserable.
