I'm still struggling working full time

Hearing the line "I don't have a dream job, I don't dream of labour" changed my life and outlook.

what blows my mind is the average person WORKS for 5 days a week but only gets 2 days to themselves. 5 days we have to do shit for other people so we get 2 days to do stuff for ourselves. mental

Girl, me too. Working full time does not feel natural, it's not organic... Feels like I'm throwing my life away

Its actually terrifying seeing everyone around you doing really well while you dont know what you want to do

A small part of me dies when I go to work each day, desperate to go home and make jewellery.

YES, I hate sooo much when I get upset and feel down about working all the time and allI hear is 'that's life' etc... I don't wanna be in a life like that if that's life

I knew a guy who straight up told me his salary of $73k at his job. I then asked him what his dream job would be if not this one, and he said, "not work!" Despite his great pay, he'd still truly rather not work at all!

"My dream job is to just not work". That's basically how I feel too. Somehow after doing a master's in psychology, I've been working office jobs for 15 years. It felt wrong from the start. In the early days I was constantly depressed and fighting the urge to resign. Some of the jobs I did eventually resign from and I tried to explore the whole "career paths" thing for some other way to earn money that I'd actually enjoy. Just like most people I didn't find the answer and I'm still in the world of office work, seemingly with no end in sight. The worst thing about modern day work culture isn't just that most of us have to work pointless jobs that we hate, it's that we have to spend most of our time doing it and do it for 40+ years. It's insane. Some people seem to just mindlessly do it and think it's great. But for me it's always seemed a tragedy that so many of us are wasting our brief existence working pointless jobs in order to pay off debts created on a bank's computer screen. It's a trap and everything seems geared towards keeping people working and making sure they spend almost their entire life doing it.

"Not doing what we love full time". I'd hate to have to do ANYTHING full time, even if I love it. Think of one thing you love doing and then imagine you're forced to do it 9-5 Mon-Fri. I'm pretty sure I'd hate it by day 2. Love you honesty and opening up. So many people feel this way.

Part time is the best way to go. I felt the EXACT day way working full time. No energy, always feeling tired. The best way out is working part time and then started a side hustle. I couldn't imagine working 5 days a week.

"My dream job is not to work at all" This quote nicely summed up the whole video 😂👌.

Thank you for this video. I am currently SO depressed thinking about the fact I’m 23 and I hate working already. This can’t be all there is to life 😭

Imagine all the people that went to school for 4 years or more to hate their job

I got a new job.... higher pay, new apartment, new city, etc... already burnt out. I was happier doing nothing between jobs. I hate my coworkers, I hate the bloody work, it's boring. I feel like this job is going to be the end of me.

This is actually comforting to know that im not the only one to feel this way about trading valuable time for something worth less. Thanks for the vid

"I'm getting stressed over a job that I don't even like." So true. I have the same thought all the time. Agree 100% on not being able to make use of your free time. Once you're stuck in the stress, anxiety and depression of your 9-5; When you get your days off you're so mentally overwhelmed you dont have the energy to do anything. Some people just arent mentally wired to cope with this style of life and I'm definitely one of them as well. Covid has been so bad for the situation as well. I planned to travel most of this year and quit my fulltime that I've been working for a year and a half. 7 months later, still stuck in the same 9-5 🌧😔🌧 and cant travel anywhere. Feel like I'm just wasting time.

We need to organize a general strike. I also feel like "finding something that we love" is a myth because there are things that I love to do that I would not want to do for 8 hours a day and 5 days a week. Time is our most important asset. In 1933 America was EXTREMELY close to lowering the work week to 30 hours a week. The Black-Connery Bill got through the Senate, the President approved it and then lobbyist stepped in and beat out progress. Economist predicted that by now we'd be working 15 hours a week. It is more than possible. We need to stop billionaires and demand a 20 hour work week AT LEAST through a general workers strike. Without people these companies are nothing. Let's leverage that.

I worked at a desk job for 21 and 1/2 years. After all that, my employer stole from me and would not give me all my benefits I accumulated after all those years. I literally crashed and mentally broke down. It took me about 3 years to recover. You are still young, go live life and be happy.

I used to work full time for years, I had so much stress realizing I had no time to do anything cause I was too tired from work and just wanted to relax, I eventually had the strength to leave, but I left without finding another job. I thought leaving would make me happy, but It gave me even more stressed cause my mind was like, “you need a job, you need money” and so I couldn’t do what I wanted to do cause I was so bothered by the reality of society. It’s so sad seeing people work all their lives just for money, like retail, or corporate jobs. Some people might like doing that, but it’s not for me and I don’t want to waste my life making someone else get richer. Society is really screwing us.

I feel your frustration 100%, the 9-5 Monday to Friday grind is mental torture.
