I try to live a really simple life, but I do it working my ass off. If that makes any sense. I have a 40 hour/week day job that's an internship/assistant position and I work 30 hours over the weekend at a bar.
I hate the day job from the bottom of my heart. I hate staring at a screen, sitting at my cubicle. People in the office were actually salty because I ended up getting a window seat while they've been here for 10+ years and they don't have one. That's the kind of office I work in. The woman I'm working under takes credit for my ideas and gives me all of her boring work. On top of all that it pays garbage, after union dues, taxes and mandatory pension plan contributions I make $75 a day. The only thing is that I've studied IT and have a four year degree, which this position is very relevant to.
My job at the bar on the other hand I love. I work my ass off doing 10-15 hour shifts but with coworkers that I love and have fun with. On top of that I can end up making closer to $300 a day, sometimes more depending on how busy it is. But obviously it has nothing to do with my degree.
I really cant keep working 70+ hours a week, while having to also take care of myself. But everyone I've spoken to says it would be irresponsible to quit my internship. The reason being that it'll help me get more jobs like it in the future but I genuinely don't want another job like it.
