Every day I come home from work feeling defeated with my head down

[deathproof17]

I don't have the knowledge, skill, intelligence, connections, or energy to get a better paying less stressful job. It's insane I have to break my back doing a low wage dead end physical labor job that makes me feel bad mentally and physically and only get paid scraps. I know I am lucky compared to some who don't have a job and can barely afford basic necessities like food, clothing and shelter but still I feel so bad comparing myself to others who do half as much work but have 1000 times what I have.

So do I,return home the same way. I've spent my life making entitled lazy fucks rich/richer.

I'm so sorry you feel so bad today. I know what you mean -- I spent my entire working career cleaning up messes people who were better paid than me made. And my second job (I worked 2 jobs at a time most of my life in order to take care of my kids) was very physical -- on my feet the whole 8 hours, heavy lifting and dealing with Karens long before they were called Karen. I wish I could do something besides just sympathize. The world is such a cruel place.

I work a desk job and I feel exhausted and drained. I sometimes fantasize about working a physical job but I'm sure it would be either worse or equivalent amount of suffering. We're all fucked

Don't get me wrong, sitting down too much destroys your body and mind also but at least you probably get paid more.

It's hard to say. I don't want to reveal too much but I will say that there's a good chance that I get paid less than you do
