    guess it is not THAT easy for my jacob to find a new job that he desireswhile the current ty job occupies all his time imho. dude's been working there for years now and i don't think such working experience will be helpful for him to get a decent job. dude needs to quit that as soon as he can, AND come back to school for an advanced degree which will not guarantee anything but will significantly increase his odd of getting a desirable job. economy will be in better shape in one or two years, and it'll be rather easy for my to land a well-paid job in a blooming economy with a master/doctorate degree imho

    dude ain't in a bad position to kick start rebuilding his life imho. he's not married and probably not in any relationship either, pretty much like a celibate proudly , so i don't see no reason why he should continue to waste his life at such a dead-end ty job for what? 11k dollars a year, which's downright derisory. some of my friends who don't have no legit college degrees can garner more than $11k a year in CHINA, while someone who has a college degree only makes 11k in the united ing states of america?

    im sure you can turn to some friends or rich relatives for financial help tbh. don't be too shy to ask for help, but you have to make all decisions yourself tbh. not having a family makes it possible for you to live a frugal life, while investing every penny & minute in education to get yourself better prepared for the future. life will be tough for the next a few years with limited $ to use and too much knowledge to learn, but your efforts will eventually pay off someday imho. college is a scam but your KNOWLEDGE ain't

    point being, as many es as you can now and live it up then focus on your debts later.

    get out and travel the world. be a young gun. work at hostels and resorts. do that you won't ever be proud of talking about. maybe youll meet some fine ass mamasita whose papi is a big time drug baron, and theyll set you up for life.

    It's true. I am never going to be nothing more than a minion at Target. I guarandamntee you that I will never move up at that sweat shop. And you're right. I have burned a lot of bridges. One of my new year's resolutions was to not make it worse for me at Target this year so I've basically been a and yes man to the bosses and co-workers. I'm basically a walking door mat. Yes, I know it's pathetic but I can't deal with confrontation right now. And you are 100 percent about me wasting my life at Target. I feel terrible, ashamed, guilty, and embarassed for wasting 5 years of my life at Target. I need to get a plan. I have currently been in the process of moving the last 2 months and I am just now finally settled. I was suckered/guilt tripped into moving in with my siblings so I honestly have not had in' time to job hunt. And before I do any hunting for jobs, I got to get my mental health in order. I'm pretty sure I'm borderline bipolar and paranoid as . I am counting some of you to bash the out of me after I submit this post so have at it.

    I understand debt too. At one time, I was paying $1,801.70 per month.

    I would have to sell my soul to pay that amount a month. That's way too damn much.

    don't know why you feel so maudlin and depressed. when a man feels deep depressed, 99% times it's because of a imho but most guys just don't wanna admit it. don't know if that's your case or not

    i've been a celibate and misogynist since elementary school, but there was one period of time when my views towards women seemed to have changed, which happened during my hs years. i started to sniff at female classmates and some of them smelt real good. none of them was anywhere close to scarlett johanson caliber but some of them were still fine enough, at least finer than 90% of what was out there. furthermore, they were also smarter than 99% es outside of our school since the school i attended was THE best in our city, and our class was elite too. i thought to myself that life wouldn't be too bad for me if i could get one of them es as my wife and spend the rest of my life with her, but at the same time, i didn't wanna betray my faith. i mulled over my options and decided to snub them all es because i had a dream to pursue. i studied in a local uni and lived with my parents through my college years so my financial state could be extremely healthy. i lived pretty frugally at school (sometimes even skipping lunches, canteens were ty and food was rather disgusting tbqh, but i could have dinner at home everyday so it was fine), and i knew the living costs would be 10x higher if i were in relationship with a . i couldn't afford to have any so i just let it go tbh

    it's not easy to overcome your natural instincts and depression still sometimes hovers around my mind up to this day, as you might see, sometimes i may have troubles falling asleep. but i just look at the bright side of everything, and i can always pursuade myself to look forward to the future. i have had a job (which might be just as ty as yours) but i already quit it because i know that money is the last thing that matters to me at this point of time. i can continue to depend on my parents financially until after i get a well-paying job with a master/docterate degree a few years from now. im sure you can find a way outta your current hardship too tbh, and the best psycologist to treat your mental issues is just yourself

    Jake, your view of yourself is way too negative brah. Its like youve just accepted getting on at work and even here on ST as a normal thing. You need to start by improving your self-image...you earned a college degree so its not like you are worthless.

    My college degree is probably the only accomplishment I have in my entire life even though it was in a ty degree. I was the first and only child and grandchild to get one from a 4 year university. I know that I need to be less negative and more positive. I just have this fear that if I'm ever positive or happy that I will let my guard down and something really bad will happen and won't be prepared for it. I expect bad to happen 24/7.

    a couple of random thoughts after actually reading all 4 pages because this thread is actually interesting for a change:

    1) damn, i feel really lucky now after seeing how some people got it. i felt ty having 20k in debt (only like half of that 7 months into working tho) but i see now that i'm pretty lucky, being able to land a job at a fortune 1000 company with room for future growth and having no kids/marriage

    2) "college is a scam" is a blanket statement, and totally depends on the situation. some degrees like liberal arts are a scam, others like science/math/technology/medicine are always a winner, and others fall into a grey area of case by case basis. for example, finance and accounting are good degrees but only if you make good grades and are driven. finance requires a lot of networking due to the nature of the business which i didnt do and sort of screwed me, luckily i had my grades to sort of save me. although with my grades/talent i should be ahead of where i'm at. also degrees like psychology are a winner only if you get a masters, my cousin is a neuropsychologist for a major hospital and makes a lot of money. but she only succeeded in that field because she was very driven and into it, your average person ends up working at target like jacob

    3) spurstalk isn't the best place to go for advice bro, too many trolls and assholes and just people who downright think theyr'e a lot smarter than they are and that their opinions have any sort of value, careful with some of the advice you get here

    4) my advice: you got a good job at a good company, the obvious and really only solution is to explore options to lower your payments until you move up in the company in the next couple of years.
    Good points bro, thanks.

    I understand debt too. At one time, I was paying $1,801.70 per month.


    Wow, that's pretty insane. It won't get that high for me; hope you're all paid off, or at least down to much lower payments.

    Part being successful is possibly failing a few times.

    Go for what you want, if something comes up that you are unprepared for, well thats life.

    Deal with it and move on.

    Jacob - you have a better opportunity perhaps than you know. Screw Fortune 1000, you have a job with a Fortune top 50 company in the world. Plenty of opportunity, but you need to understand that everything is not going to be a dream. Move around the company as much as you can, work hard and build relationships. There will be something you like.

    Well, I'm pretty much done with Target. I am never going to move up with them. It doesn't matter what I do there. That ain't happening. I just have to find something better and take it and give a big you to Target.

    And yes, I probably dream a little too much about life.

    I was being serious about Target. There's no way I will ever move up there. Too many bridges have been burned. The only thing that I have done recently is try to not burn anymore bridges and basically be quiet. I was actually told by a boss that I will never move up at Target because I'm just not the type of person. That's what I was told. I am basically just working there for survival. It's sad but true. And in order to move up at that sweat shop, you either have to kiss ass or work the system. It's too late for me to kiss ass because everyone would know I would just be bull ting anyways.

    Go get your CDL.

    You could go to work in two months making good money. They are begging for drivers down south. Some companies will even reimburse your school and or give cash signing bonuses.
