note: not a vent post- just something i was thinking about the other day. I'm pretty happy with how I'm doing in life :)
i love teaching and have had several tutor jobs, but teachers are treated like absolute dog water in my country (and in most other countries, i assume) with horrible pay. i basically have to do CS to make enough money to support some family members later on in life. it's not even that I'd want some incredible pay for being a teacher, I'd just need a guarantee my family would be taken care of.
post how your career would be different under socialism.
id probably be a factory worker
thats okay
i was a factory worker once for about 3 years and it was nice i mean it was real work but at the end of the day i felt satisfied that the shit i helped make was being used by people and was doing good for society (we made boots and shoes) but then it closed down and went overseas
now i work in an office and half my job is helping people do medical billing which is less than worthless, its a job that supports an industry thats actively harmful to society
