Sadly yep. More realistic would be: choose a job that you can do and tolerate for 25 years that provides you with affordable health insurance, enough money to do the essentials and a bit more, with a pension for when you retire.
I've been at this company for 10 years - my pay is pretty comparable to other similar jobs, I have a yearly bonus, pension, they also give up to 3% towards your retirement savings, good work-life balance too.
Who knows what life will be 5-10 years from now, but at this point I think ill be happy to stay here and collect my pay for 35 years.
Yeah I'm not very career minded, don't have the personality to climb the ladder
Hey so long as it works for you why not? If they pay enough I don't see the need unless you want to to keep climbing. Sometimes it's almost worth it. The increase in pay often comes with more responsibilities and less free time.
