Oh I totally agree about that. I look forward at life outside of work, though.

Cliche question: is it possible to have and live a happy life if you don't like your job?

I think it depends on a number of factors. Just mildly aren't crazy about it and it's max 40 hours a week? I think you could be content if the pay/benefits are good enough.

[Post Ironic]

But if youre passionate about science, politics or sports, why not pursue a career there or somewhere else meaningful for you?

I worked a lot of odd jobs the first ~10 years after finishing school - bank teller, customer support, singer in an opera, technician in a service shop, sports journalist on a radio, administrative support in a shared service center. The past 3 years for the first time in my life I've been doing work that challenges me intellectually and actually feels fulfilling and tbh I wish I stopped jumping around a lot earlier.

Tell us more about this one, please.

yeah as long as you get good money and surround yourself with good people. Just gotta remember you won’t be there long and use it to build up your skills and resume.

Sang for 2 seasons in an opera choir. Apart from the exhausting process of having to learn hundreds of pages of mainly italian sheet music by heart it was decent part time work, lots of wine and fun. Was poorly paid (pretty much the same wage youd get for selling gas and hot dogs in a gas station) so I spent most mornings working as a mechanic and the evenings singing different operas, in the end learned about 20 of them. For a while contemplated a formal education to try to become a soloist, but thats such a long way for a young tenor and in a way its also a career killer, its not like you can easily transition back to more traditional work if it doesnt work out or it gets old.

I’d love to go solo aswell. What Im doing now is worth gold in terms of experience and network.

I hate working for someone else

Best years of my life when I was working for myself. It didn't matter if I had to work on a Sunday for a bit - I fucking loved it.

Now a salaried pleb again but I can't quit because of my visa. I'm constantly thinking of new ventures though.

Actually chances are quite high that I wouldn't do it even if I could however shocking that may sound.



So you think it's Serbia that's the problem? I can't really say anything like that because I don't have much to compare with. However, I don't think our education is bad at all, especially in certain fields. As for what the surroundings has made of them/us, I don't think that's a bad thing, eventhough I wouldn't wish to anyone to go through a tough life. But when you have certain problems (I can't say be poor because I don't consider myself that), I think you're experiencing other virtues and you can appreciate things even more than others who are showered with prestigious stuff daily for their entire life.

I don't know why people get pissed over it. It's what I have experienced so far while living here, switching jobs and being social. You can't say that people here are stupid, that's insane. Also, there are way too many intelligent people here of all ages, I'm literally a nobody compared to them. But when it comes to meaningful convos, I can't say I've witnessed much from girls. It's easy to say that I shouldn't look up for hookers and models. I've been through different sorts so far and if there's one field they show their "better" side it's a line of business but, like I said, I don't consider that type of "success" intelligence.

Bishes are dumb wherever you go. Whether you're in Bolivia, Serbia or the UK but every now and then you'll find a chick with more than two braincells.

It's more about meeting women in the right circles/jobs. If you're meeting girls that work low skilled jobs then of course they're are going to be stupid af 99% of the time.

I never get bored.

Good to know that Iran's Strategic Jenna Jameson Videos Reserve is in good hands.

This is very true. As a younger person you're often told you're not ambitious enough if you're not trying to cure cancer each week. In reality, doing rewarding work with good people is the best. The rest are superfluous details.

Normally "cool story bro" is a derogatory remark. But it applies here in a very positive way. This sounds like such a great life experience.

Over the past decade I kept hearing about Starbucks. People that go travel take a pic of the coffee etc. So they finally opened it here like 2-3 years ago and it turns out it's actuslly Starcocks. That's no coffee, that's just disgusting. Fucking overhyped BS
