This year has completely broken me. Im fed up and hate both of my jobs. Im sick of working nights and weekend. Im sick of pulling 12 hour days. I dont want to do any audio engineering work anymore. Im completely done with playing music, I havent even looked at my guitars since I played my last show. And Im struggling to find new work. The job search is so soulcrushingly abysmally frustrating. Nobody ever gets back to me. I feel unqualified to every job Im looking at. I feel like I did myself a massive disservice staying at my current work for so long.
I need to be making $55,000/60,000 a year to pay for my home and maintain a comfortable life, and I just dont have the opportunity. My options right now are keep slaving along with my current jobs, or take a massive paycut and find something entry level.
My degree has done absolutely nothing for me. I have a Bachelor's degree in business and it's nothing more than a paper weight in my drawer. I legitimately regret ever going to college, and if I could do my life over, I would NEVER have gone to college. Biggest scam in human history. I should have gone to a trade school and got a certification.
It fucking sucks, and I dont think I'll ever find a job I genuinely enjoy. I ONLY care about the paycheck at this point. It feels weird to completely give up on my hopes, dreams, and aspirations. But, that's what growing up is all about.
Honestly, what it feels like is that I've completely wasted my life away. I wasted it working this dead end job that I no longer enjoy. I wasted it spending all the time and energy and money on a band that didnt go anywhere. Wasted my life pursuing music, and I dont even enjoy it anymore. I've lived a pathetic waste of a life up to now.

If it makes you feel any better, this recent job bullshit I been dealing wit myself has had every last one of these thoughts in my head, heavily. Hence why I mentioned that I’m most likely gonna dive all the way in and get my barber license (A trade) and never look back on this job search bullshit. That is a very well paying permanent career where you are your own boss and never have to put up wit garbage boss’s bullshit or live wit the fear of being fired or never advancing. Bitch I’ll give my damn SELF a raise. And that’s the type of field I need for sanity’s sake because this bullshit is dead and I’ll be damned if I’m spending the rest of my life doing this shit.
It’s just a commonality as the world’s changing right now, especially for people our age. Literally, you, Erik and myself have all gone through this job bullshit this year. Every single one of us. It’s a mix of age/area. It happens. Your attitude, I’m sorry to say, is doing you no favors. It’s okay to be upset, it’s okay to vent it out, hell for the last few months I’ve felt like I’ve been suffocating financially. But I get up everyday, go to both jobs that I hate and spend my free time looking to make things better. It’s an adjustment but you have to focus up. You have a breakdown and throw in the towel like every week.
It’s just a hard time to be getting by right now. The game is rigged against us. Costs are out of control, jobs pay shit, and the people actually running shit have the people divided against each other just like they want it. Politicians are all lining their pockets and voting to own the other side rather than making policy based decisions to benefit their constituents. That’s if they can be bothered to bring anything to a vote at all. Usually they just let anything helpful for the people die on the floor without a vote. We can’t even get insulin cost controlled because one political party simply said… no. And mutherfuckers are still like “Yo that’s my team!”
Plus if it makes you feel better, I think Todd’s still unemployed
Yeah so I don’t have to kill my self like you, Erik, and mc. I spent all summer making my own schedule and now I’m just living off my money. Almost like I ain’t going back to the same shit you guys are talking about. Keep hating everyday.

Could you maybe find some room to maybe take some night classes and further the degree you do have?
All jokes aside, insurance is a job you can have you license in 6 months or so, and in a year you can probably make 60k.
