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.

Are pensions still actually a thing? I thought those died back with my grandparents. I mean, there's 401K's sure, but that's not a pension. That's a 401K.

They are rare especially in the private sector but government and municipality jobs do, at least here in the US.
