I love my job and it pays me enough to not worry about it. The secret is living in any western country except the U.S.
That's not true, there are other countries with this problem like UK and Canada.
Yeah no way could you leave out Canada lmao. As soon as i graduate i'm fucking moving.
Western Europe? Scandinavia? China? Uhh Albania? No idea yet. As long as it's not this soulless nightmare petrostate. Fuck the rent here and fuck the work culture.
Lol Canada is like the most expensive place on the fuckin planet
Ridiculously expensive housing without the salaries to match. But at least I don't have to worry about going broke if ever someone in the family gets sick I guess.
If you get sick you just die, at least here in Victoria. There are no doctors and and people are dying of untreated cancers hahahah man life's good in Canada
Right, because there isn't rampant capitalism and wide spread poverty pretty much everywhere else too.. 🙄🙄🙄
(am in UK and you're full of shit. I recommend checking your privilege, or at least taking your head out of your ass long enough to have a look around)
You're lying. British people are mentally incapable of admitting their faults when Americans are around.
L UK citizen
Common UK L
Social worker in Switzerland here. I feel pretty OK :)
OY you got a loicence to order a privlage check? I thought not there good sir!
In the name of the king, you are fined an indeterminate number of pounds, and required revisit your bogus claim.
Poverty rates in former USSR countries have bwen steadily declining since its downfall. Its still widespread but how is capitalism at fault for it?
🙄 the US has plenty of not the majority of high paying jobs. Working in high skill STEM pays absurdly good.
It's like skill jobs that get fucked.
The absolute number doesn't matter much if the expenses of living in the STEM-riddled areas are just as high, if not higher.
Remote work fixes that for many people
Source: me, hi, I work remotely to LA and get paid absurd wages
And Europe isn't expensive to live? Canada? Australia? All of them have very high CoL in population centers. Especially tech hubs. The only place that's significantly out of whack is CA and to be honest, much of the time it's still worth it. Go remote and get the best of both worlds is quite common and easy.
What country do you live in?
And Canada.
Ah, the land of housing owned exclusively by foreign investors.
That's true in the U.S. as well in many cities. Chinese investors buy up huge numbers of apartments and houses.
I'm so lucky I can just live with my parents 🥲
Is this sarcasm or are you just clueless?
He's right though, live in western Europe and I got both the time and money to enjoy life.
Even the poorest in my country have a "right to vacation", special programs allow them to travel for barely any money.
What do you take issue with?
