Swerve session.

I was diagnosed with bladder cancer at age 29. I had surgery and Im okay for now.

Certainly puts jobs and life in general into perspective. Fact of the matter is if you do not consume at a large rate, prescribe to the get married breh philosophy, and value free time...you shouldnt need to grind ultra hard at any job period.

American excellence has fukked many people over.

dont worry about what others doing brehs, i had ideas of what i wanted to be and i've pretty much hit all my benchmarks by age 26, but my goals were small just getting my mind right, getting to medical school, learning to take care of myself, and a bunch of other shyt. then all the big shyt really falls in line but i also sprent three years after graduating college basically working in a hospital making chump change but it just taught me what working hard was like - i had moments of so much doubt and anxiety about if i could get into school or not but it worked out

you just cant worry about the shyt you see on instagram, tv, other more successful or well-off people, etc.

a common example on the coli and real life i.e. when i didnt have a girlfriend, i wanted a girl who i could spend a lot of time with. im dating someone now who i care about, but I also start randomly daydreaming about how free it felt when I was single. grass always greener on the side you aint on, that's why humans are so miserable

i'm also gonna be hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt by age 29, and that shyt cuts my soul every couple days

You'll be ok OP.

Life is not linear.

There are some people who "have it all" at the moment.

But a few years from now, they might have to start over themselves (think 2008 recession).

That's life.

Your best bet is to just focus on increasing your income and live off no more than half your income.

Stack your bread and invest in your skill set when you want to splurge on something (networking conventions, books, online courses, mentor ships, etc).

Don't blow cash on BS when you finally do make a decent salary (remember when you were poor and how you felt).

A lot of guys are spending too much money right now and it's gonna bite them in the ass later.

You can be on top of the world by the time you're 35.

35 is still young for a man. You make the right decisions from here on out, you'll look back on your life and chuckle.

Keep going. Once you get into the IT world, the money and opportunity is going to come FAST.

EDIT: A guy I know got his degree in Business Administration. First job out of college was technical support for a cloud company. Making like 15 an hour. Did that for a year. Then got a job elsewhere making 50k. Did that for a year. Then got another job making 70k working with SAND (I believe that's what it's called). Currently he's getting 85k a year at another company. He never used that bull shyt business degree. In Tech/IT the salary quickly jumps from what I've heard.

Honestly this is synonymous with how life works in a sense, industries change and jobs come and go, but in life you gotta know how to flow with that momentum and stay adaptive to your environment.


For example look how trump went from trolling the president to being the president
Or how that cocksucker David Clarke went from a sheriff the Midwest to bending over for trump in the White House....


Momentum and staying adaptive are more important than anything in life....
