There must be something that you desire. Something that would get you up in the morning, where you can make $ and love doing what you do. Perhaps a career aptitude test, might give you options.

My dream job is not having to work at all and living off of handed fortune.

How do you plan on doing that? You can always hit the numbers and win $5mil. Then you wouldn't have to work, if you know how to handle your $.

Ok goodnight

I can't finish this convo right now or I won't get any sleep lmao

Never say never. If Flightreacts can make an ass of himself and be delusional at the same time, then you can be a Youtuber, my guy! ?

I love friends who ask me to hang out more than once a year. I think it's been more than a year since I hung out with anyone.

I don't really believe in dream jobs. Almost no one on their death bed wishes they spent more time working. If you do what you love as your job, then that's great. But your love for what you do may diminish over time due to spending way too much time doing it. I'd rather do something that pays me well so that I can use that money to do what I actually love, as well as other things.
Dream life > Dream job.

Just waiting for that winning lotto number, then I'm starting my retirement

**Mia** · 23rd May 2022, 8:28 PM

If I play the lotto every week for 2000 years, then I think I'll have a decent shot

I don't even know how to get going, the content creator field is incredibly oversaturated

The last time I hung out with a friend irl was like 5 years ago, freaking covid bullshit. Now no one wants to do anything anymore. Not like it matters, I have one irl friend and he spends most of his time with his girlfriend

Depends on what you're doing for a living. If you're working in an office all day (even though you love to dress professionally and love what you do), then yes, that can diminish over time. Why do something that pays you well, knowing you could be miserable at your job? I'd rather go for dream life and dream job.

If your dream job is beginning to grow stale, then it's always good to have alternative sources of income to back you up, as opposed to slaving for another character. If that dream life makes me miserable working for someone (no matter how much money I'm making), I'm done.

Well, if that doesn't work out, you can always play the scratch-offs, which is what I'm about to start doing.

You just need an icon or some sort of influencer to push you. I know it's not that simple, but if you get behind the right people, you can start somewhere. Creating content just comes with some kind of inspiration.

Well that's the perfect outcome, isn't it? Having both a job you love that pays well. Like people who love programming and work as a software developer.
But the way I see it, money needs to come first. Passion and love for your job is just the cherry on top.

I guess it comes down to how much you value enjoying your job. If switching to a job you love means you take a $10,000 annual pay cut, then you're essentially paying $10,000 for some enjoyment.

For the purpose of work — to earn a living — this seems counter-productive to me.
Think of what you could do with an extra $10,000 every year. You could have a month-long vacation overseas. Every single year. Wouldn't that be nice? Smile

And a $10,000 gap isn't even that much. It could be potentially be much larger.
