Not a failure at all, you're making good money and you get a job where most of the day you aren't bothered. Also, it's easy stress free work. Factory jobs are actually usually pretty chill.

I'd take that any day over being a doctor or some shit.

>>1921636
failure is relative and dependent on your goals

same boat pretty much

26 year old, just laid off from an operations manager position at a small LLC, made 35k last year

i have some college education and 3 years experience in my position. i'm not stupid, but don't think it's a great idea to go back to school (getting into massive debt doesn't sound fun.) wtf do i do? there are some marketing/sales/entry level positions on indeed but i feel like i cucked myself by choosing to go right into a job instead of completing a degree. i'm getting NEETbux right now but need to figure something out quick.

Guys, figure out what careers make a lot of money and then set out to be in that career. It really is that easy.

And neither of your salaries are bad. You're not dying of starvation and I'm guessing you have a place to live and a mode of transportation. Even the poorest Americans live better than kings of the Middle Ages.

I graduated from a program that had a 70k starting average, however that was before oil prices fell now there's no jobs in that field

I graduated in 2015 when the oil industry was getting fucked, if I graduated in say 2013 I would've been set, shitty timing

my bro didn't finish 10th grade and he makes more than me. he works for a bank and just kept climbing the ladder. i did 2 years of tafe and getting $42kAU at my first job out of school. just focus and put yourself in a position of opportunity, very rarely are lives

You have to live up to your expectations, no one else's.

i consider my life a failure. the fact that i have to work and that my gf routinely vetoes everything i want to do with my money makes me want to kill myself.

There are at least 50 million people in the US alone with a lower wage than you

Be happy with what you got

>>1921636
25 is still very young and you should consider shit like free time, health, and future prospects

comparing yourself to others is generally a useless endeavour, especially online

I keep hearing this. The poorest modern people don't get they're pick of willing mistresses, they don't get to lead mighty armies into battle, nor do they get treated with the reverence and respect deserving of a feudal lord appointed by no one less than God. Keep your fucking indoor plumbing and polio vaccine, I'd rather be a King.

Sounds like you two need to have a serious conversation. If you're not married why does she have a say? If you're basically married why does she have total control of the money? This shouldn't be the case

At least on a forklift you are moving around and capable of making decisions about how you want to go about your work. The rest of the factory is just people larping as robots.

All I need is to get the next licence up (about a year more of schooling) and to be a good little fuck Boi for this installer to recommend me to be an installer.

when you know you're only ever gonna be betabux, why be anything but r9k?

>>1921636

Meh.

At age 27 I made about $15k a year.

Now at 30 I'm making about $60k a year.

Talk to everyone, sell yourself. Opportunities come along, aggresively go after them.

You're being soooo shortsighted. You can travel a mile in one minute. You can eat whatever you want whenever you want. You can hear your house in the winter by pressing a button instead of building a fire. You get to bathe everyday with soap and shampoo.

I could go on but I think you get the point.

>>1922160
it's not total control at all, but if i would want to buy a gun or a motorbike she would immediately start cold war 2 on my ass.

>>1922422
and of course every conversation about these stuff basically starts and ends with her saying "do whatever you want" which of course means the opposite because if i do what i want it's gonna get chilly for a long time.

>Have about $34k in student debt

There's nothing I can do with just a bachelors in physics and I'm not gonna continue in this field because I don't think I'm good/smart enough to be successful in this field (as reflected by my grades).

doing good in school is difficult, especially when your life is wildly unbalanced.
The amount of discipline and work needed to be put forth into school requires you to not be dumb, have a balanced lifestyle so you don't burn out, or have extremely high endurance towards self sacrifice.
It's easy to fail at either of these.

not everyone is a special snowflake minority or women. Thus there is no free money for the average white guy.
