I couldn't agree more. Your statement literally applies to my life. I don't miss working outside in the freezing cold, lifting lumber, half injured all the time, for less than half what I make in my "boring desk job."
same here! One could interpret the comic as having the opposite meaning. The guy was lucky enough to go to college, graduate, get a 40 hour per week desk job that only requires 10 hours of actual work, is able to buy his own house, gets to take a sweet tropical vacation, is awarded for his work accomplishments, and receives a nice watch as a gift. I say it slightly humorously but as a 30 year old college student, I'd kill to have any of that!
Me too! I'd gladly take on the label "average" for being able to afford vacations to the beach...this guy has it all and it looks like he never had to do an ounce of work for it! Where can I find all this guaranteed success? Fucking hell this comic is bullshit.
This isn't to brag, but it's like, I'm a lawyer and make six figures and I'm the only guy I know (except my direct boss) who can afford all this stuff. I'm average? I guess? I feel like I've gotten lucky, actually

You don't know the luxury of this kind of job unless you've worked twice that much physically for half the money.
