    Serious note: make some effort to find a career you actually enjoy so you’re not just waiting for every week to end. Basically waiting to die.

        If they don’t pay well then that’s a different problem than the meme refers to. If there’s a high barrier to entry, compete like fucking crazy and own that shit. Any different attitude is a distraction that will sabotage your efforts.

            Are you practicing like crazy? Are you an amazing ball player with lots of experience?

              Are you practicing like crazy?

              Yeah, 2 hours a day, every day.

              Are you an amazing ball player with lots of experience?

              No, im not good enough to make a varsity HS team after 10 years of practicing. But playing football is the only thing I love, its the only career id be passionate about and enjoy for more than 1 or 2 years.

              What do I do coach?

      My alternative advice is to find something you’re passionate about to do on the weekdays when you aren’t working.

        That’s good, but then 5/7ths of your life is wasted. Plus, you don’t really have the time and energy to fully commit to 2 days of hobbies, so you’re really only enjoying 1/7th of your miserable wasted life.

          Sure.

          And until you find that job, having something to do in the evenings is how to avoid the feeling that life is just waiting for the weekends

            Indeed. Even better is having something to live for, or even something to work for (even if the work itself sucks). And these things can take place on evenings and weekends. Then at least the toil is meaningful because it enables the real work.
