I'm not kidding.

This is a yearly salary of $71,760. That still leaves you rent-burdened in the top ten cities.

The half-time is really only a cost for service workers. (who 100% deserve it)
Because let's be honest: most people only do 20h of work in a 40h week.

i cite Bullshit Jobs by David Graeber (RIP king) as proof, even though i have never even read so much as the cover flap. not because i am a dumbass, but because my confidence in his work is unflinching.

    Bullshit Jobs is a light, sassy read. Would highly recommend it, it's available at most libraries for free.

    I do find it (sadly) funny that while bullshit jobs used to be considered the worst dead end jobs possible for college grads, nowadays they're proof that you've "made it" no matter how menial your actual job is.

    When I finally landed one my parents would say shit like "Wow, we're so proud of you now that you've landed a real job!" Like, what the fuck dad, I put in way more work at retail and theme park jobs than I ever will for this one.
