Ehh, I'm 32 and have had seven jobs since 17. To be fair one was a seasonal job which I worked from start to finish and am eligible for rehire next season and another was a part time job that I worked for three years in addition to my full time job. Worked at my first full time job for almost 8 years before leaving to change careers. Been at current job for a year now.

I'm 33 this year, have worked at two employers my whole life. Most recent job is software developer. Work from home and get stoned all day programming enterprise software and trading crypto...

Back in the old days you could do it, but not anymore. I'm in my 30s and on my 6th job. It's a great job and I make good money. You will rarely meet your potential if you stay at one company. The only way to greatly increase your salary is to go to a new company. You can beg for a 50 cent raise at your current job, or go to another company and get a $6 raise.

My grandfather worked for one company from age 16 to 60. I remember his retirement party paid by the company in one of most expensive hotels in city. He wasn't even that high up, just a mid level manager at the end. He gets his entire salary in pension and healthcare for life.

I bought 300 bitcoin at $20 and don't give a shit, but it doesn't sound that bad. Working for 40+ years would suck balls though.

for real. the only jobs i can ever get hired for are temp jobs. so i work somewhere 6-8 months and then have to get a new job. i can apply to the exact same job but in permanent position, go through the interview, the company and the interviewer karens fucking LOVE me, and still get turned down. i don't know what the bloody fuck.

and the best thing? temps don't get any benefits. no PTO. no healthcare. no retirement. nada. this entire thing is just a scam to dodge government benefit mandates for white collar workers. it should be fucking illegal but no one gives a shit about us. i've spent 5 years working and never received even one day of paid vacation time in my life.

you and I sound to be in a very similar boat, I'm just a few years ahead. The workplace culture and psych gets crazier, you're probably one of the few that can recognize that shit doesn't make sense and people are petulant.

I don't want to push anything on anyone, but I recently enlisted in our military. People will tell you this, that & the other about how you'd be stupid to do it, but there's a reason men in the past pursued that path to one day get land & retire away from others. There are healthcare benefits & lifelong paychecks for supplemental income. Our founding fathers originally intended for people to gain through freedom through service, and the years go by fast.

Just consider it, the job availability is different now and you can do anything you want. From the people I've spoken with, they're granted requests for locational & positional moves. The job they hate the most is recruiting because they'd rather be in the field doing something they'd prefer.

I have complete faith in you to live a successful life however you choose, but give it consideration because with your work ethic, the benefits outweigh the cost of your time. I'm basically getting a free path for law school, and that's a pretty damn good deal for 3 years of my time.

I settled into a job around the age of 22 where I make a good salary and I'm essentially unsupervised - as long as my work gets done, my boss doesn't care what the fuck else I do. Leaves me plenty of time to shitpost, invest in shitcoins and stocks and work on side projects. Why the fuck would I leave such a comfy situation?

All that brain plasticity goes to waste though. Young people just don't know the world or what they actually want, just what they've been fed. I was an A student in college but I'm 10x the student I was back then at 29. Have to be of the mindset that you are learning in pursuit of a goal, and that goal can't be "getting a job". Needs more ambition than that to payoff.
