Work for a job you hate makes you miserable stresses the hell out of you but makes you some hecka good money or chase your passion that makes you be broke as heck in the end?
Passion. Im not doing shit if i hate it. Not for long at least. If i start out in a job i hate then i will stick at it for a bit to build up some good money. Then keep working there while i find a job i do like
I would always be open to $$ first if it's good enough but right now my career is passion-lead. I think that you may be able to find your passion in more jobs than you'd initially think without looking deeper. While on the job, you can how it relates to things you care about, explore the ways in which it adds value to peoples' lives, personalise tasks and add your own style or signature to it.
Are you kidding me? Lol I’ll choose being miserable at work if it means I have a safe comfortable place to come home to, a car I enjoy driving back and forth, plenty of healthy food to eat, clothes I like, and the money to fund things I enjoy.. hobbies, trips.. you know what stresses people out? Not being able to eat, clothe their children, pay their bills, fix their car.... who cares how you feel at work if you have no financial worries outside? You can find ways to de-stress, you can make time for self care, and relaxation. Those things don’t exist if you can’t afford them. How can anyone even say they’d rather do something they’re passionate about if it means they’re broke? So you really enjoy your work and then everything else fucking sucks? Lol
Half of these sound like extravagancies that would produce more stress than bliss. Financial security means less to someone in the working class.
That’s the problem, living a comfortable life should not be considered extravagant. People would rather suffer or learn to live without than sacrifice some time doing something they don’t want? If you have the money to live comfortably you can follow your passions and hobbies outside of work.
I did grow up poor, which is why I refuse to just sit back and accept being poor. That’s the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard.
For me i cant focus at all on stuff i dont like no matter how hard I try. If i was in a job i hate i wouldnt last long before got fired anyway. If im doing my passion every day i don't need to find other things outside of work to help me destress or relax
You’re right, but if your passion leaves you broke then when you’re not working you’ll be left with stress about literally everything else. How is that a trade off that makes sense?
I honestly think it depends on what "hecka good money" is. Am I making enough that I could retire 10 years from now? Or is it like, I am just making enough to get out from under the poverty line? I would need to see the size of the sacrifice.
Depends on your definition of “broke as heck”. Does that mean all the bills are covered, but nothing more? If so, then that’s how I’ve always lived lol, I’ll just go outdoors for my fun time or buy extremely cheap luxury items with groceries like I do. If it were an option, I’d simply suffer through a year or so of the horrible job to save money, then switch to something I’m comfortable with. Overall, the way I want to live is rather small and cheap, so a yearly salary of what most consider a lot of money would cover all the initial costs, if not the full cost of purchase (building home, electric/hybrid vehicle, etc.) 🤷🏻♀️
