Finance, which is funny because looking at numbers everyday reminds me of the debt I'm in and how hard it is to climb out of. I do think it's a big contributing factor in my desire to ctb but I don't know what else I could do that would bring in the money I need. What about you?

i just finished the college courses i was taking and am still trying to figure out the next step/what to do as a career. it's really stressful and feels kind of pointless if i'm just going to ctb anyway haha

how does working in a mortuary affect your mental health, does it weigh on you dealing with death every day or did you get desensitized pretty fast? (i'm assuming you're at one based off the name/i think you've mentioned it in other threads)

Tried to go in to be a software engineer. Didn't work out and worked a factory job instead. It sucked. Wish I could do what I wanted to do and have a successful career. I quit it recently and am hoping I can be a delivery driver. It's still not what I want, but at least it's not factory work and the pay is decent.

Careers can make people suicidal bc they have too much stress (and stress-factors) and can't handle it anymore - this applies for min-wage jobs and up to manager positions. The other thing is if a career fails and there's a massive decline as a result - life quality, financials, problems that weren't problems become big problems.

I did not go the way of a typical career in my life there were several ups and downs but form the last down I never recovered - failed in life (especially financially) which is the cause I have to consider CTB. Age and other factors prevent a satisfying recovery.

It's actually helped me. Believe it or not.
