I spent my entire life working towards getting an engineering job.
I got one.
I'm just as miserable as ever.
I give up.
>>82320565
pretty much this
>>82320546
>>82320883
Seconding, it's a horrible feeling.
>>82320772
If you mean the peace of the grave, yeah, so do I.

I think we all could find a suitable womp.
I use my day job as a front for my friends and family. I'm actually a really popular trap camwhore. Thats where my real money comes from. I tell people my day job is full time but its actually part time. It pays to be pretty with a dick.

good for you friend!
Had a bout of depression last night. Second or third this week, I don't know anymore. Still feeling it to some extent.
Life is too long.
I can't even explain why
>finished bachelor back in january
>haha, time to find a job
>do you have 30 years of experience?
>dude i'm only 24
>fuck outta my office
Unemployed but got an internship, pretty cool.

He's doing what any sensible person would do and choosing not to camwhore himself in an unrelated thread.
>>82321085
Because I am not going to live in Poverty. Never again.
I've been poor. I know how it feels to think "Well if I eat one meal a day for the next week I can pay this bill." I am not going back to that.
I bought a couch for my apartment today. And not some shitty old craigslist couch full of stains and dust mites. A new couch. And I had it delivered to my apartment.
I sacrificed personal fulfillment for financial stability. I am a real American.

That's a sensible thing to do.
Happiness is just a meme.
>>82321245
Life is a cruel joke. I hate my life.
I've gotten used to myself, which is a step forward, but I feel so powerless and everything feels so hopeless.

>mfw aspiring towards engineering
should i just back out now and switch my major while i still can?
>>82321576
For real man.
Job market is kind of fucked nowadays, especially in the tech center.
People aren't retiring, so Hirers are making their standards SUPER high (why risk a recent college grad when Ted from Johnson and Johnson just got laid off after 20 years of faithful service)
Even in service positions the economy has turned everything on its head. Notice how many middle aged women you see working fast food nowadays?
>>82321518
story?
>>82321590
Have you tried an internship with a company? It can make your resume look better and gives you job experience
>>82321584
>damaged goods
>>82320546
>>82321590
No. Don't. Keep pursuing stem. I am dead serious.
I live in a constant state of emotional numbness, balancing dread of "This is my life now" and the hope of "Well maybe I'll get promoted to a less intense position someday" while pushing it all under the constant overtone of "Holy shit I have to get this done before midyear reviews"
But you know what? I can eat. I'm paying off my student loans. It won't be easy, and you will not be handed a degree, but honestly that's WHY Engineers are so sought after.
i dont think im depressed anymore but im not happy and feeling fulfilled. Essentially i just exist, i don't really do much outside of my routine of being on my laptop talking to the same handful of people and going to college
>>82321624
got in a car crash five months ago, he was driving and i was in the back seat with another friend
>>82321648
no not yet i didnt go to college immediately becuase of some family shit so im still a freshman

Man I feel you.

>it's a "boo-hoo woe is me" thread
Am I the only happy, well-adjusted person on 4chan?
>>82321701
That's how I feel every day, too... until I have a depression episode every three or four days.
>>82321774
yeah
>>82321774
Your kind isn't welcome here.
>>82321724
Do you have any hands-on experience? If you do you can try to get one. If you don't, I'd suggest taking some major classes while focusing on your general education classes
>>82321774
You think you're happy.
But you're not.
You'll see. It will hit you one night. Maybe you'll be lying next to your Significant other and realize you really don't like them that much, or you'll realize you never really loved your dad. Or you remember that one dream you had as a kid that you completely gave up.
It will happen.

Good job, making good money, have a home with a low-rate mortgage at 27, doing so well financially that my parents are asking me for money to cover their bills instead of vice-versa, friends are all envious of my "success"

>>82321518
That's not really daily life.
>>82321963
>Friends who are mad at you because of your success
Holy shit. I thought this only happened in cartoons.
My friend is a total bum. Lives with his folks. He ALWAYS gives me shit because I don't play video games online (something he does all day) with him.
>>82320546
Anyone who posts anything other than this is a liar.
I got married 3 weeks ago and like my job
>>82321622
>>82321576
>>82321490
What he's talking about is blatant requirement bloat so the company can request H1B visas from the government, but it's also true that people aren't retiring.
I got into my PS development job as a result of an acquisition, and I have job security because I learned how to write in a proprietary scripting language that no one else knows. Getting the same kind of job through normal channels would be absolutely impossible.
>>82321892
yeah. I feel like the reality of life hits everyone as some point, and how they move on and change is different. Some people become bitter self centered douche bags, others close themselves in and sulk, and others use their experience to help others and accept the harshness of reality while still being able to enjoy it's fruits. Unfortunately the majority do the first two much more often.
I can vouch for being a fairly emotionless person who doesn't have much cares or stressers, but recently I lost someone close to me and it really hit hard. You can bottle in your emotions as long as you want but at some point in your life you face a crossroads of what type of person you're gonna be after that happens.
>>82322021
Not mad, envious. They think I have it made. And to be fair, from an outside perspective, I kinda do. I have a job in a field I'm good at that allows me to work from home, I build equity instead of paying rent, I live alone, I've got more than enough cash to support my lifestyle comfortably.
Meanwhile I drink and smoke the sheer apathy away because life is so fucking boring
>>82321701
"Just existing without suffering" is the new American dream. Anything more than that is unrealistic to expect.
>>82321405
I just married into STEM money. Wasn't even a compromise; I love my wife.
I'm actually good at art, but it stopped making me happy a long time ago and I'm not sure what to do. Fuck the possibility of finding this out while poor though. Always choose money if you can.

Motherfucker I'd love to travel the world kung fu style going on adventures and eating exotic foods. Hell I'd love to walk the Appalachian trail for a few months.
But the fact of the matter is that I need to do my job. I need to pay my bills and rent. And I need to be a little cog in the machinery of modern society.
>>82322493
>>82322678
they are called "villas", and are filled with houses made from bricks (no cement) and tin roofs. The best houses I've been to have electricy, but lack water and gas. Families tend to be numerous, with great-grandparents being 40 years old, and 13 years old mothers.
Most people there are ill tempered, violent and uneducated folk. That doesn't mean that they are all criminals, but walking through a villa, you can bet there's at least 40 people that are eyeing you to beat your shit, but only 5 of them actually want to rob you, the rest just like beating people they consider to be better than them.
They are extremely defensive, and think that just because they have a rough life, you can't call them fot their bullshit. They pledge to be correct and pure citizens, but went they are caught stealing, they go apeshit for daring to question their means of survival, when our goverment has given them A LOT of opportunities and social plans to progress.

There are entire genres of literature, music, and film devoted to this feeling.
It's part of being human.
It's the entire foundation of the cultural phenomenon of the Mid Life Crisis"
>>82322792
and yet I'm no more happy or fulfilled than my worse-off friends.
My daily life eh
Well here you go
Honestly tempted into using my savings to buy various goods I wanted for myself, gorge on them for a month or two and then see whether that'll be the push necessary to be more active in my life
or else.
>>82323224
then what makes you happy?
I am a angry bus driver.

Can someone provide me with an appropriate image?
>Land a job with the government's postal facility when I was 20 because I applied on a whim
>Minimum wage is $11 here, that job paid almost 3x that, at $29/hour, great benefits
>Leave after a few months because the job is braindead and literally boring, you just sort boxes and letters for 8 hours a day with Paljeet and other immigrants who can barely speak a word of English
>Decide to follow my other interest, and actually put my diploma to use, which is being in the restaurant industry
>The pay is just a couple dollars above minimum
>Whatever, have fun doing my job because I love it
>Over the past year and a half, I've been deciding on leaving this job because the work politics became so retarded over time, to the point where I'm getting discriminated upon
>Can't decide whether to just take their shit and power through because I sincerely love what I do, or do I just go back to the job and be braindead but rich
>mfw everytime they tell me that they're cutting my hours because "I live with my parents so Joe Blow over there who gets disability checks and lives alone needs more hours than I do."
Fucking bullshit. If the restaurant didn't have the backing of the city's best law firm, I would've sued their asses a long time ago.
>>82323436
Winning in fighting games brings me temporary happiness, but having a full-time job I usually find that I don't want to jump into more stressful activities after working all day.
So mostly drugs.

>or you'll realize you never really loved your dad.
Bit l8 m8. I'm not happy, but I'm honestly not that bothered anymore for some reason. The worst shit is happening to family too, I just can't find it in me to bother since it's not going to make much difference. Someone's health deteriorates, you cry, well there's still dying aren't they? Might as well cut that middle part out and have a fap.
>>82321405
Love the one you're with.
I spent years perfecting my work and handling the excess of new tasks my boss threw at me because I didn't have any option but to accept them. Now I have enough money and indifference that I'm ready to turn down the next unreasonable four month detour I'm expected to take. And I'm the only person in work who ever took these extra burdens.
>>82321478
We are practically powerless. Take heart. Even the strongest, most dedicated individuals had only a very fleeting impact on the world.
I mean, it can even be a little perverted fun.
Gandhi, in the end, felt he was a failure because of the seperation of India and Pakistan - he knew where it would lead. Gandhi!

I just graduated and am waiting to start a.l government gig. My plan is to funnel my 70k a year paycheck into funding artists for comics I write and producers for songs I write in order to start a career and eventually work my way up to owning an arts and sciences company.
Is this logical?
>>82320789
The truth is a Job or Career doesn't automatically equate to Happiness.
Going in only enables you to do things you like. What you need to do is like more things then see if you're happier for not wasting your time doing things you don't like.
>>82325861
Work your job for 25 years, save hard and often. When you have north of 1 million, put it into an interest earning account and stay in work another 15 years. Retire with a pension and put that money to work.

I'm about to graduate but I still haven't turned in all of my assignments, and I barely have time and I might fail two classes. I'm going to be $100,000 in college debt and I'm also broke. I constantly have to keep talking my friend out of suicide even though she makes me feel like absolute shit sometimes, but I'm worried she might end her life tomorrow, and I can't live with that.
When does the pain end /co/? Does it get better when you're older?

No, it doesn't. In fact, you feel worse because now you're a loser AND old.
>>82326410
Details please?
Frankly it seemed so normal its almost cliche, every one in comics has a "real" job. They even have a name for it. I dont see why I cant basically do what I do now, except with more money and less free time. Wouldnt I be able to fund my career?

Damn, you guys are sad.
I am 42, I am autistic, on welfare with no prospect of a real job, I deliver news papers to supplement my income, the woman I love lives on another continent, I have a chronic rheumatic disease, and I still don't have my shit together.
And you know what? I'm laughing. I am laughing like Democritos. And I think you should be laughing, too. Life has neither purpose nor goal. So laugh like the Jewish atheist who danced in the synagogue, and sang joyfully: "Man is dust and will return to dust." Because if man was gold and became dust, it would be sad, but dust at the start and dust at the end, and a little booze in the middle - isn't that worth dancing?
Don't cry too long, my brothers. Sometimes happiness is no more than sitting in the sun.

Happiness is temporary, people are too fickle to enjoy any one thing for too long and 90% of their lives are spent looking for things that make them happy, the other 10% actually being happy, 80% of that 10% of is usually spent in childhood if one is lucky. The closest thing to a lasting form of happiness you can actually achieve in this life is to stop looking for it and lowering your standards so much that everything in the world makes you smile.But even that grows old eventually
I hope one day we genetically engineer a people that don't have to put up with these stupid outdated survival mechanisms which only ever lead to depression in modern civilization. Though, chances are if we do manage to genetically alter people, some greedy cunts too insecure to give up their human greed and suffering will just make everyone require even more to be happy and be more gullible so they buy into the whole "it gets better if you work hard! it gets better if you buy this! it gets better if you keep on living!" slave ethic.
>>82328509

>>82321774
>happy and well adjusted
>feels the need to point it out on 4chan
>purposefully doing it in comparison to people who admit they're not
It's okay to talk about it, you know.
>>82329359
Old enough to have seen it happen to too many people. It's simple human nature, we need something to keep us going, to keep us fighting. Every fulfilled desire must be replaced with more, and the satisfaction of fulfillment temporary, otherwise why not just stop there? There are studies showing this. People enjoy the idea of what they want to could have much more than they do actually having it, same goes for memory, everyone remembers things better than they really were. Hell, this thread is just a testament to that. Once you realize it's true all the "oh my life is so unsatisfying, I spent it all building up to this single amazing career and now it feels hollow and I want something else" becomes as predictable as the "it'll be really great once I get what I want! it gets better!" from kids becomes depressing.
The only people not subject to this are genetic anomalies who usually end up NEETS hated by the rest of society.

You've never hit a low point in your life? Fun fact: It's more common for people to come to terms with the fact that their life than it is for people to somehow align all of the planets in the sky and be happy.
>>82321774
If you're happy and well-adjusted then you're either extremely lucky or just a humongous dipshit too oblivious to realize how messed up your life is. Judging by the self-awareness exhibited in your post I'm betting on the latter.
