here is the skinny of it
1: Do you feel like you did a good days work at the end of each day
2. Does it fulfil one your needs (some people feel fulfilled helping others, so jobs like teaching are fulfilling)
3. does your job make you feel needed
4. does it stimulate your mind and body
if those boxes are ticked then you should do it, nothing ventured nothing gained, but i can’t even follow my own advice because of my crippling fear of failure and committing money to self improvement because i have no confidence in myself. starbucks will literally reimburse me for online uni but i am too cowardly to make the jump
also if you learn mandarin, you will be sent to china, and they do everything they can to rip you off because you are dumb white gweilo, i know plenty of people that regret learning mandarin because the chinese business sector is a hive of betrayal and villains. imagine if they were all dodgy lebanese contractors
I don’t what the fuck they did to our generation but i have always felt so aimless
