    My parents called me lazy and unmotivated when I didn’t have an executive position at Google right out of highschool wile also saying I’m wasting my life on computers.

    Got a “life sucks, then you die” any time I had any problems.

    I just want a low effort life where I can be cozy. I’d probably taste test another gun if my job was stressful.

      If you’re tech inclined, look for tech positions at non-tech places. Sometimes they can be hell “we need you to be the entire technology division on the salary of a remote helpdesk worker”, but there are rare places where you get to help and do cool tech stuff without the constant “climb the ladder or die” bullshit.

        I got that one figured out. I get to hide alone in the server room and only actually do a few hours of work when things are actually broken.
        8/10-The pay is a bit crap and I have to wear pants.
