The money is not worth it if you dont enjoy what you are doing.

A lot of people don't have a choice, though.

I would say," if you don't find the work tolerable" and unfortunately that varies based on your options.

You mean there’s nothing you would spend the money on that would give the money value?

It's easy to get more money. It's hard to get more time.

As someone who spent some time homeless this entire comment is bullshit haha

I also spent time homeless. Being broke fucking sucks, and it is hard to get out of. I was very lucky to do so and I know that.

But once you're already employed, switching jobs just isn't that hard.

That's never been my experience, I work in retail so it can be tricky when you're going up against thousands of other applicants and they usually don't require experience.

What do you do for work?

I wait tables.

Interesting, I've definitely gone months applying for jobs and not hearing back for interviews or anything. I suppose location and sheer luck has a bit to do with it as well.
