I've stayed in a job I loathe for 23 years because of golden handcuffs. And it's not like I'm raking it in, there's just no other job that would pay me enough to live. I've had my chances to escape, but it was just too easy to stay. It's no wonder that no weekend provides any escape, no vacation is long enough, no raise will make me satisfied, and every year I wonder if I can make it another year. Kids...learn from my mistake. If you go through your day telling yourself that the depth of the hatred for your job is impossible to describe, leave early and find something else while you still have some sanity left.

I blew my voice out today because I was sitting in my car alone screaming out of frustration with my job. I’m well paid but it’s killing me. I live in West Virginia so when you get a good paying job here you tend not to leave. I have two small kids so I just simply cannot quit. I’m stuck.

Ugh. I'd love to have a side hussle. My work life is awful and the schedule is awful. Compound that with home responsibilities and I have no freaking time.

Will she be quiet and let him speak!

I’m a master tech for a car dealership. I make $100,000 a year and am pretty good at what I do. That being said, I freaking hate my job. I love the people around me but hate and absolutely hate customers and the work. I’m doing everything I can to get out but most jobs only want to pay $60k/year despite my experience.

There are so many people in this position right now.... I'm near retirement age, burned out, tired and depressed. I haven't been able to find a good job with great pay since my last job ended (which I did enjoy). Had to move across the country to a lower cost of living city (where most of the jobs pay so little). I'm beyond done at this point, trying to cut all my expenses down, pay off last c.c. debt... to what??

I can't stand my job, we're lower middle class, but I'm still the breadwinner of the family. Ican't find anything else that pays as well that will cover all our bills and rent. We don't spend money on luxuries. I'm talking about covering basic necessities. Our town went from small Town to hoighty toighty suburb that we can't afford. Can't move away and pull my son away his school and friends. I'm miserable and just fucked.

some people complain they have job others wish they had one. but which is worst?

I hate my job but I feel like there isn't anything else for me. My Fiancée and I are in our early 20s and I work in manufacturing. everything I see in my area is either retail or manufacturing and I can't find anything that would pay me a better wage than what I'm getting now. I feel like my body is starting to give out. My joints and back are always sore and they never really feel better. This isn't what I wanted for my life and It's harder and harder to wake up and drag myself to a 12hr night shift. But I can't afford to quit. We make enough to pay the bills but not enough to really save or progress in life. I feel like I'm gonna be stuck here forever and it's driven my depression and feelings of hopelessness through the roof. I just feel lost. I don't even know what I want with life anymore. Any passions that I had feel like a chore now so I don't even enjoy things that I normally would have. I feel like since nothing is bringing me joy then I should just stay here. It's "stable" enough I guess but I'll never progress and I'll never have a life I would have wanted.

Why is it that everyone solution to their problem is to start their own business.. Doing that requires a lot of money, also businesses have multifaceted problems that are not normally on your radar. It's easy to say that they're easy to manage on the outside but once you're inside there's a lot of nonsense to deal with.

i think she just desperately wanted to quit her job, it's obvious she doesn't know what to do without the job. She need to stick with her job, save some money and build her options.

I'd love to hear how Jackie's doing today with her dream. I'm in the "get qualified" part of all this, and totally relate to Jackie. I'm still in the job I hate, and having such a hard time *caring* about that job.

Ken's answer was really good and I took notes. I'm a new listener too. I'm in the midst of the get qualified stage. I need to work on getting connected. Unfortunately, the energy of the caller was a bit of a downer. I don't think she's going to do anything differently. Any time someone says "Yeah, uh huh, mmm, right" in the middle of the other person's sentences, you know they're not really listening. But I'm glad she called because I got to hear a great answer!

Build those skills that will get you to the place you want to be at that magical "work time"...7pm-2am. This is what I've learned from the MASTER Gary Vee!

how can she gets help when she doesn’t want to listen

I work in a car dealership. I need a change because it’s affecting my life and health. I had been the victim of a hit and run back in 2017. I thought it was fully gone pain wise. However, over the years I’ve had this nagging lower back issue that’s exacerbated but the constant climbing in and out of cars daily. I recently went to a chiropractor and he told me about this issue. I’m going to get things back to somewhat normal. What should I do? I have ok money. I finally have insurance.

I am about to start a job I hate but I have been trying for a while to land a job and this is the only thing that came through recently. I don't own a home yet and got to pay rent so I don't have a lot of options. I hate my life and feel so stuck right now.

Count how many 'uh-huhs' and if you get it right! you get a PRIZE!

Wow, Jackie is shockingly difficult to listen to.

Pick something that you like and make u happy not what other what their want. Start today. Money always going be their and money all ways be printing by federal government

Try to live as simply as you can, it will give you more options

Fellas, it do be like that. But listen it will be fine. You will figure it out. Relax.

*perhaps this is why I save save save and try to have multiple fountains of income*

Same

It’s money, not the jobs. We live in a capitalist, consumer-based society where being alive revolves around money. If you have plenty of it, you have more opportunities to make yourself happy. Without it or the mindset to live your best life without money, you are screwed.

Go to a local community College and take the career test. It will show you your skills

I love how folks think it's so easy to sell real estate and make big money "a few nights a week." You need to hustle your a$$ off while getting eaten alive in fees. Plus, it will take a minute to get any pipeline of deals going. It can be all-consuming. I also don't hear any real fire or hustle in this woman's voice. I don't think she's going to do anything that was discussed

My friend want me work for a factory and I try it one day and I hate it and he got upset 😭 that I tell him I hate it and I like where I work and he only think high income job I got will be good financial decisions

I understand but her active listening is kinda urking me lol

This lady was pretty negative and didn’t seem to be listening to what Ken is suggesting. Plus she just needs to pick something and STICK TO IT. Jeez Louise.

You can go to your job and come home and it's done. You have to work your business day in and day out

Jackie's mind has a 3 second mhmm delay yeah..mhmmm any fried taters mhmmm..

Who is this guy? Lol.

Negative and annoying. ... waffle. ..umhm yeah right.

I'm not understanding and furious 😠 that I'm hearing this from a woman's point of view that I don't know her ethnicity or care about, I don't hear this similar thing this woman is talking about in this video from Black African/American men/male's point of view from a conversation like this. The reason I'm speaking this is because when a dude explains this similar thing that his woman is talking about in this video, In my mind its like me basically hearing more from a female's point of view that she believes for herself she can't accomplish anymore than what I believed to think she's already accomplished high school and college/university level education faster smarter and much better than any Black African/American Males who struggled and worked 2 or 3 times dumber, slower, longer to just for him to accomplished the similar things as like any females of any ethnicities just to explain that to simplify this the highest percentage of more in common average most likely lifestyle for Black African/American male when they lack significant proofs of accomplishments in much higher education and already dropped out high school and refuses, ignores and gives up on college/university level education just for masculine/testosterone chosen type lifestyle for his only choice in life of homelessness and or incarceration just so that its gives more of some advantages to the opposite gender of any color and or any ethnicity more of petty unnecessarily undeserved types of powers under from and over the dang masculine/testosterone male citizen role models in civilian life that homelessness and or incarceration is to be believed as men to seen as no other choices and or alternatives to better the males in women's lives as of today in 2021 as a Black African American male myself 100% refusing all things of being judged, critizied, hated, rejected, ignored, labeled and called as opposite female gender with and or against men to this very day . 🤨😠

This woman doesn't know what she wants to do. At the start, she talks about wanting to do an online business, then 3 quarters in, she wants to do real estate. Which one is it lady? Also, please stop saying "uh huhs" and "right" when Ken is speaking. That was disrespectful to Ken. You called him asking for advice but yet interrupt him every 5 seconds. I couldn't concentrate on what Ken was saying because of your "uh huh" and "right".
