I'm currently working a very mindless job in an office for 40 (technically 43 hours a week... they factor in our 30 minute UNPAID lunch in to our work hours every week... ) in "marketing" - which is a bullshit job title to be honest, i basically push paper to make the owner wealthier than he already is
i'm sick of it. don't get me wrong, it could always be worse, and yeah i'm not working 60+ hours a week like some people, but I don't need much to live on and i feel like it's a complete waste of time being there.
my day is basically so structured out that there isn't a second unaccounted for.
I wake up at 5:30 to have enough time to go to the gym before work (to help cancel out some of the negative health effects from sitting down and being in the same place all day long), make it home by 6:00, make dinner, do the daily chores of life, try and unwind, and then go to bed to do it all over again
I make pretty shit money, $30,000USD a year BEFORE taxes, but I'm still able to save about $1,000 a month after all my bills are paid.
I don't know how people that work 50-60 hours a week are not going fucking insane to be honest, I feel closed in by the standard 40 hour work week.
I don't have kids. Some times I think I might want them, but then I think what's the point? so they can be in day care all day long? so basically someone else can raise and be around my kid for longer than their own parent and pay hundreds of dollars per month for the privilege?
does anyone here choose to work part time? what do you do? how can I make this happen for myself?
