Fck!

I've been working 2 months of 9 to 5 (3 shifts).

It'll be 3rd month now.

And I'm thinking of letting it go.

I don't feel like doing it anymore.

It feels like a burden that takes 8 hours a day.

I pocket $50 5 days a week.

Without it I'd be at zero.

But shit requires a ton of calories and energy.

It's hard af to reinvest the money due to the amount of time it takes (like 10 hours a day total). After which I'm tired af.

I dunno if it's worth it.

I wouldn't want to do any low scale operations at home too.

So it feels like no choice.

What a crap

I felt my life was better when I made $20 a day doing one - two simple tasks a day at home. Lol

With $50 it's a lot more to save and it feels comfortable to pocket so much money but damn, this is too much.

Every fing day having to do a shitton of work like 50 tons of material to move.

Interesting, means you are earning the minimum wage in Poland.
Honestly, I don't know anyone who earn minimum wage here.
It's reserved for lowest quality workforce without any skills and education.
Even public bus driver makes here twice than you mentioned.

Maybe to get better earnings, just make driving licence c+e (it cost $2000 but you can ask in job office for refundation) and after that you will earn stable $2000-$3000/m by driving trucks ;)
This will be also good for your head. Less time spent in the Internet ;)
 
Revalue what other opportunities are there. Dont quit just yet. Get some exp n jump.
 
The difference between $20 a day and $50 isn't THAT much realistically; and $20 a day has more opportunity. If you're making $50/day at a job for 8 hours, it's time to move on and start doing your own thing. You said it yourself $20 was 1-2 tasks, so do 5 tasks a day from home then.

Never forget what JOB stands for... Just Over Broke.
 
Bro, do I tell you anything honestly?
God knows that I would love to be able to have the possibility and the opportunity that you have, even if it is difficult to do, the task you do to generate that amount of money every day, and you are tired of that bro!

Give me all the powers to win that amount, and believe me, you will be proud of what I will become , thanks to you :)

Not really. Qualified workforce makes about 50% more than minimum wage.

What circles you are in may make you feel like $3k a month is normal.

Among my circles people would struggle to get paid $2k. Many would do crime to get better money.

C+e not an option as even normal driver's license. Both of these are reserved for people with mental stability. :D my vision is fcked and so on.

Ask Silverclouds how little money you make here. Hehe

Plus i identify as a 60% woman.

I have existential crisis today questioning everything.

I bought a printer for $15 in turn to work at programs at that 9-5 doing class diagrams. N writing ideas on paper so I don't forget them.

I don't care if I'm fired. :D

And it will not help much because the amount of energy will be still like 2000 calorie expenditure to keep up motherfcker.

Organization will save us. In organization we trust. And pen and paper.

I don't know you, but from your previous posts in BHW, I see you are very proficient in coding and familiar with black/grey working techniques.

You can easily automate stuff and get consistent side hustles.

What's wrong?

Someone must be so jealous of your coding skills and want to convert them into real money.

I'm too unorganized. I'm working to fix it. :D

I have realized it that I'm living in complete 5 fold chaos to 5 exponents after 25 years of living.

I love this fix though.

My life is almost great... Almost.

I will tell you what jobs are demanded in Poland, easy to enter without any education and you can make money:
-c/c+e driver or D for public bus
-welder, plumber, carpenter, construction worker
-barber
With these jobs you can make more than IT engineer here. Why? Because boom for programmers is over.
CV numbers sent to companies tripled from 100 / job offer to 300 / job offer between 2023-2024
That's why I've resigned to be a Python programmer. Because competition is huge and even Senior developers are looking for job for few months.
There is no place for juniors any more.

People not understood yet - there is time of hammer and drill.
In next 10 years AI will kick out 90% programmers, 99,99% graphic designers.
Still will be the place for IM cocroaches, but it will be harder and harder each year.

So you have few ways:
-make money now and get some properties to rent
-build white hat business online / build real life business
-get physical worker skills because they are "programmers" for incoming new era in the world when adult people cannot use simple drill

That's all true. I noticed being a programmer is only a viable option is if you're really pro, passionate, organized and already have some funds as backup.

I'll try forklifts and then something construction related I think.

Forklifts - this is not where you earn a lot, basic course for forklifts is cheap as fck. It's the job for people after middle school who want to earn for first car.
Watch channel "Do Roboty" when guy is visiting a lot of jobs in Poland to check for example salaries.
For example welder
 
See if you can grab a loan for 6 months of your expenses before quitting.

Thats a bad idea, emergency funds should be built from own savings, thats the whole concept of emergency funds to not be worried when you have no source of income, but not like take a loan for it lol

It's not about how much work you do, but the actual 9 to 5 aspect imo. When I moved to the US 14 years ago, I made $8/hour. That's where I started. Today I make a comfortable six figure salary and I get to work from home, but even then I feel the same way. There's just something about having a job that brings you down.

Loan in Poland is the road for suicide. I had $100k loans and zero income few years ago :)
You cannot imagine this hell :D
