    Thought it was funny how in different media, working some corporate job in a cube farm was portrayed as this depressing inevitably of life, that you’ll hate your job and yourself. For as bad and soul-crushing as *it is, having a roof over your head and food in the fridge is not a bad prospect.

    Edit: that -> it. White collar jobs have their own drawbacks of course

      It's obviously better to have financial stability than to struggle but a lot of cuber jobs really are pretty soul crushing if you can't force yourself to buy into whatever bullshit corporate is slinging

        Of course. At the end of the day, we’re all alienated.

      Remember how miserable Al Bundy was, with his entry-level job that supported a wife, two kids, a house, and two cars?

        I like those shows where the house and/or livelihood the main family has would be fairly unrealistic.

        For example, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, there was The King of Queens (where the main characters worked as a delivery driver and corporate secretary respectively) and George Lopez (where the main characters worked at an airplane production and as an event planner).

        Of course, the odds of are these people, if they were real, eventually could not pay the loans they took out and lost their homes by the end of the 2000s.

      Meanwhile I'm having nausea and desperately wishing I had a business degree as I wipe mud off my face for the five darn time today
