I've been working since I was 14, fulltime since I was 19. 34 now and still don't earn 6 figures, but with my wife's income we're a few pay raises shy of earning 1/4 million a year. We also have no kids, so it's nice having some free cash.

Get a wife, OP, not a job. They're pretty cool.

Eh. I can see the advantages of salary. If there's downtime and stuff, you dont have to worry about not getting paid. I was the field engineer for a project and I'm paid hourly, but the contractor crew is paid salary. so I couldnt really do other work since I was in another country when there was downtime with the construction because of delays and poo poo though the crew still got paid but i didn't have much to do so I lost out on billable hours.

straight salary is kinda annoying

like I just did something that could bring in a poo poo ton of new customers and revenue for our company, but I'm not guaranteed to see any benefits myself from it

luckily my boss is cool so hopefully I can be like, yo, how's that cool thing I did working out for the company? oh, millions of dollars in new ARR? hmmmm maybe u should cut me in on that

I hate people to but you just pretend to be their bff while you're with them and it ez, im friendly as gently caress 9-5 but benith this smooth, friendly personality is a burning desire to be left alone and not talk to anyone. But I think of it like this all I gotta do is smile and be friendly and listen to ur bullshit about ur kids or wife or mistress or whatever and support the same cityname sportsteam as u for u to sign this agreement than ur paying me to be your bff

I can do that.

My boss is the same way he hates people and is grouchy as gently caress but infront of clients he is the friendliest man you ever met

Be sure to take a 15-minute break every hour.
When I graduated with a computer science degree I took a game testing job thinking "ok I'll just do this temporarily while I get a programming job and I'll be on my way to moneytown" now I'm 28 and I'm testing video game consoles instead of just video games but that's even worse because at least before I was playing video games all day, now I'm just a low-level grunt lost in a sea of unfulfilled dreams. I just wanted to make video games man.

jesus loving christ dude I'm applying for jobs while I'm a student in order to make my life easier ok. Being a student is the most important thing and that's what I'm focusing on. Having some nice part time job while I'm a student will help pay for poo poo and make life easier. How loving hard is this to comprehend.
