Do you feel your job is important and are you proud to do it? - Lemmy.World

I’m lucky that I can say yes. That said, I still wouldnt do it for free. What about you, how do you feel about your job/career/field in general?

My job is super important. I am proud. I work in security for medical records.

However, most people shit all over me for it. It sucks. It’s ’not a real job’.

The only thing I can think is it pays poorly? Does it?

150K. People tell me it is not enough to be happy or secure, esp women on dates.

I feel pretty happy and secure.

USD? Thats around what I’ve made for the last decade. Its absolutely enough to be happy and secure. If a woman tells you that on a date shes the wrong one brother.
Yeah. Well I don’t meet anyone here who agrees with me. They all think they are in poverty even when they make 300K.
The median US full time salary is 62k, you’re earning 2 and a half times that. Anyone who tells you that’s poverty is either full of shit or deliberately trying to bring you down.

No, they are just people who make 200K-300K and think they are in poverty and struggling, so they think anyone who makes slightly less must also be living on the streets.

They don’t acknowledge that people who make 62K even exist.

Well, like I said then: full of shit.
Yeah, literally fuck those people they can suck a dick and have a smile. You’re doing well. There will always always always be a bigger fish, be content with your scaly ass doing fine. Find a girl who doesn’t ask your yearly salary on date 1.
That’s ridiculous I promise you’re just around the wrong people.
there are no other people to be around. everyone where i live is like that.
Thats wild
Cool. I’d rather shoot myself than commute.
Then you’ll forever be unhappy and surrounded by people you hate. Again, thats assuming EVERY HUMAN in your city/area truly is as affluent and elitist as you say. I find it essentially impossible to believe but I’m not you. Also, if you’re making 150 and people making 200 are shifting on you they are genuinely stupid. I make a bit more than 150 and I’ve had several years where I was over 200 with overtime. There is a difference, sure, but at that point its honestly minimal.

Nah. I’m happy.

They are just miserable people. doesn’t matter if they make 50 or 500K, they just whine about how their lives are unhappy.
