Who hates their job?

Especially when you are single in your 20s.

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.

This.

dang...you going on and on and on like the ing energizer bunny over 80 ing k....this must be the number you aspired to when you got married in order to say you made it and finally living the American Dream....carry on deepy don't let Kool destroy your dreams.....

[johnsmith]

So you were making 25k at your old job got a 75% increase and now make 43.5k...


Sweet bro

You're an idiot.

[johnsmith]

LMAO!!! Basically how I feel. I had the opportunity to leave a few times over the years, but the loyalty speech from the owners always swayed me to stay. The promise of being compensated and appreciated. What a ed up decision it was to listen to that bull .

That's another thing I've learned over the years.... loyalty.

I'm not in love with the work and 12 hr shifts are long...but I have a great boss, which makes all the difference. I can pretty much take off whenever I want and adjust my hours/days I work if I have I need to get done during the week.

It's hard to get a job when you're fresh out of high school.

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. worked for the superior court (labor/equity division). 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 and the main thing I learned is that it's next to damn impossible to fire a county employee no matter how ty they are

- 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 ). 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 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 , but how much of a princess do you have to be to actually say you can't live

I like what I do at my job. I just wish I could do it alone. I try to do as many projects as I can that only need one person. My department was great until one person was moved into it. I just avoid this person. It is not the highest pay but I get good benefits - my health insurance is fully paid - and generous vacation, sick leave, holidays...

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 bags will make even the most glamorous job miserable.
