i make $15.50/hr and live alone just fine with money to spare. if you are able to find a job somewhere else and move - do it. totally worth it. most people live and die within 50 miles of their birth place.

Same here, OP. Accepting it is kind of a relief in a way. Relinquishing the need to fulfill x, y, and z because that is what is expected is liberating in a depressing way.

Unless you stay in academia you won't make shit until you get 20 years experience. Most fags with shitty accounting degrees that make 6 figures after 5 years.

I make 14.77 dollars an hour but have to pay way more in tax yet I can still live comfortably. And most things are more expensive here.

I'm stupid but I think if you start making your own wine and growing certain dietary staples you can live like a king on welfare
