To get to a higher level, a lot of times you have to put the hours in. Maybe he has plans of going back to school but can't right now or maybe he doesn't have the patience.
i definitely understand that. I used to be a pharmacy tech during college and I hated it….only part time and wasn’t getting paid nowhere near as much as dude is…so I understand the grind. I just personally hated that shyt. I wish him best of luck.

thats no way to live. money is meaningless if u cannot enjoy it.
What's crazy is that I always assumed that those jobs were gravy. They work them like that. The only reason he picked up the extra days is because after 10 consecutive days it's double time so he was like you guys already.
schedule me 8-9 days plus so fukk it. Plus he just started a few months ago, so of course they dog the newbies out until they get their own route. The old timers work like that because they want to.

They be on some bullshyt too. He was scheduled for 12 days and then had two days off. He gets a call from his boss the first day asking him why he no called no showed. They tried to reprimand him, but the union wound up eating that shyt up.

What we ignoring is most people like this with this work ethic often make it far in life. Nobody is saying he has to do this the rest of his life. He already got rental properties

It's 20 somethings right now obbing, killing, and stealing. Imagine how much further the black community would be if we had the grind mentality. In order to cruise control you gotta grind for it. Nothing will come easy for most of us.

It’s all good until his body breaks down
Used to be a carrier myself
Ccas and Rcas get worked 7 days a week
Now compound that with bytch ass managers
bytch ass customers
Inclement weather
Amazon delivery
COVID attrition
Your mental health and home will be wrecked eventually
First marriage suffered due to the hours I worked
Now I sit behind the desk caking in the IT department
I'm really happy for my bro because it got him out the streets and the bennies and pay are good for his family, but I really wonder how much of a toll it's gonna take on him eventually. He said most of the dudes he works with are alkies.

Again, I respect it.

I know nikkas my age who would rather steal or ask another man for a handout before putting the work. If more nikkas had that type of work ethic you’d see drastically lower crime rates. But you can’t want more for someone than they do for themselves.

All ya’ll shytting on his work ethic are conveniently ignoring that he’s wisely SAVING and INVESTING almost HALF of his income so that he can retire relatively early and financially comfortable.


He’s sacrificing now so he doesn’t have to struggle later.
Doesn't matter his wife is going to divorce him and take half his shyt if he keeps it up.

Plus it's his first wife , so she automatic dibs on his punk ass social security
