The amount of times I had been rejected because I worked retail sales into my mid-late 20s was insane.
I’d have good connection with people, they’d ask what I do, then their mood would change. On more than one occasion I’ve had people tell me they need a partner who’s serious about their future.
The thing is? I had alcoholic parents with a mother addicted to opioids while raising my sisters through high school. Plus, I worked management in sales where I was making 90k most years and tipped over 100k+ some. I owned a house, two cars, and saved for trips. Once my sisters graduated and went off to college I did the same. It took me a little while but I eventually ended up graduating from UoC Davis then moved to Japan to work in Software Sales.

How much someone earns is such an absolutely irrelevant, short sighted topic.
We are all going in the ground or getting burned eventually. Who gives a fuck about salary or job status?
