and the anti-depression meds don't always work |

Date: January 22nd, 2018 12:22 PM Author: Concupiscible mood I'd be in academia too if this weren't the case but you simply cannot "win" unless you bet right (e.g. crazy risky coins) or still get lucky in another way
maybe hard work helps but it certainly does NOT guarantee success and plenty of people are successful without it |

Date: January 22nd, 2018 12:30 PM Author: Cheese-eating Becky Pit academia (what i am in) is very cushy, but the struggle is real financially for us. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3867310&forum_id=2#35209698) |

Date: January 22nd, 2018 12:32 PM Author: Concupiscible mood I just don't understand how the 99% at the "bottom" of the pyramid do it
In some ways I get how a law partner or physician making 500K or 1MM might do it ... struggle for a decade and you can retire or cut back
and obviously the big time CEOs and other capital holders (who ironically tend to have the workaholic personalities)
but everyone else, it just seems suicide provoking, but I guess it's children, and only children, that keeps them doing it day after day, despite the humiliation and toil |

how do these people do it? how do they go to work everyday? ESPECIALLY NOW when retirement will never be possible and children will be less well off than their parents? Everything seems fucked |

Date: January 22nd, 2018 12:35 PM Author: Cheese-eating Becky Pit i did something like this for 2 years at a Big4. that was tortuous. it's huge hours and actual abuse for poor wages. most people do make less, but have very stress free jobs. the hardest part of their day is the commute.
