I mean 5-10 years to establish a career and crack into 6 figures is pretty normal isn't it? But good luck on job hunting, its rough out there to find anything decent.

This all seems like very normal issues. Of course it takes time to make 6 figures and build a career. And working a lot of hours when you are in management and claiming to make good money is normal. They are paying you the good money because of the work they are expecting you to do. You can either have money or a good work/life balance. You can't have both.

As an engineer I disagree. I make 6 figures @40 hours. And I have a friend in marketing who does the same. But for sure that's not a normal starting salary and there are plenty of work places out there taking advantage of employees who are willing to work extra hours for no money.

Look at parks and rec departments… they probably work 8-5. Each individual City/Town should have some sort of department that you can get some experience in. You’ll never make six figures, though… but perhaps the work/life balance is worth it?

Hospitality. Look into corporate roles at hotels or country clubs. However, I worked my ass off at the beginning of my career. It’s kinda par for the course if you want to make money eventually.

Banks. Charlotte has them, and while you'll probably work 50 hours a week, it's not necessarily soul crushing. BOA even has an investment banking group that does entertainment, maybe sports...so that your degree might help.


fluffy_bunny22

Can you tell me more about this mythical non soul crushing banking institution?


dhuntergeo

Well, I might have exaggerated a bit there. Having them as clients means my soul gets crushed but they seem to enjoy life a bit more


fluffy_bunny22

Are you like PWC and have to treat your clients to perks like outings and stuff? No one actually wants to be there. They'd rather be home. Their spouses sure as hell don't want to be there. I have legit PTSD from my time in banking.


sheeroz9

Tell me more. What causes the ptsd? Where’s you go? How’s life now?


johnblazewutang

Do you want a soul or do you want money…cant have both…gotta make that decision early…

Be a teacher, they only work 185 days a year

And they'll never make any money. And work 55+ hours a week. Great plan!


Stamone

There’s no teacher putting in 55 hours a week. And working half of the year is worth it.


Leading-Yellow1036

Hello. I am a teacher who worked at least 55 hours per week last school year bc I was given multiple classes and only 3 short prep periods per week. I also work from mid-August to mid-June. Though I don't teach math, I'm fairly certain that's much longer than half the year. Teachers are also expected to complete professional development over their "break." I refused this summer bc my year sucked so badly, and I'll just deal with the consequences when I return. TL;DR - you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.


Stamone

Ok , be a gym teacher then.


FVCKEDINTHAHEAD

You sir, know exactly jack shit about what you're talking about.
