That’s the difference. You work a shit job and get to buy a house, a new car every 5 years, vacation to Hawaii every year, have ZERO emails, texts, etc to answer when you go home from your 9-5 that’s a very different lifestyle than being expected to answer whenever someone needs it, knowing full well you can’t move into a bigger home unless mom and dad give you hundreds of grand towards it.
Fuck the desire to bust ass to scrape by. If it’s just going to go OK financially, why expect someone to commit their existence to it.
It’s not about being softer, it’s about being smarter.
That said, as long as I get sundays off for cars and coffee, get me the training to be your gantry operator for 6 figures and a 4 day work week and I’m there.
