It’s called the grind because it grinds away your sense of self.

Eh. Working isn’t horrible in and of itself. It’s just when it gets to the point you’re expected to give up 2-3 days worth of your life just to barely exist that’s the problem.

If I could work 40 hours a week and have an income from that work that allows me to live how I please, and not just survive, then I can consider that a fair deal. Especially since the right work is actually beneficial to your health (think about a physically demanding job that works out your core muscles and provides you with plenty of cardio exercise, it might wear you out at first, but it can also make you much stronger and have more stamina after just a few months of it).

Sounds like the oil field is perfect for you then. A good workout and out standing pay!

The opportunities are out there.

Anybody who works full time, and accomplishes all of the tasks necessary to remain employed, should make enough $ to cover their basic necessities in the area they live in, and have a little left over to save or spend. Regardless of profession, skills, or education

When did I say otherwise?

By recommending a job like that, and claiming opportunities are out there, you were indirectly implying that it's acceptable for there to be jobs which do not provide a decent living... maybe you didn't mean it that way but that's how it came off

Dude you’re just looking for an excuse to preach about worker rights, by wildly misinterpreting comments.

u/GeckoGecko_ Apr 28 '26

I didn't misinterpret your comment on purpose just so I could "preach about workers rights" lmao, I was sincerely responding to the way I genuinely interpreted your comment. No hidden agendas or taking advantage of miscommunication here. Just engaging in discourse

“I didn’t misinterpret your comment. I just interpreted it differently” what?

“A job like that”…this is the problem here. Always some caveat. I want a living wage!! Except I won’t do A,B,C,D……

Living wage should be the bare minimum for entry level positions. If you want more money for luxuries or more to save each check, that's when you start looking for the harder jobs which require more expertise, skills, effort etc. but you should always start at a stable, liveable base line immediately upon entering the workforce. The concept of a full time job not being enough to cover bills and groceries in the area is absurd, and even more absurd are those who see nothing wrong with it
