Is being a working adult really as miserable as it seems? I start my programming internship at the end of the month and I'm dreading it. I just graduated college and I don't want to work for the rest of my life. Yeah, you get money, but you have no free time to spend it on anything but bills and food. And the monotony of a M-F 9-5 is killer, but I'm too lazy for manual labor and it's better than customer service I guess.
At this point I'm praying to get hit by a city bus so I can either die or collect a fat settlement.

whatever you do, don't become NEET. Nobody will hire you and you won't have a choice but to be poor.
I've found moderate manual labor (landscaper) to be the least draining of all forms of work.
Just try your best to escape the working life. Google 'early retirement extreme' and 'money moustache'

It can be, but most people enjoy their work. I know I love my job.

>No free time to spend it
....you need 12 hours a day to do something?

You're joking, right?
The vast majority of the population wants to die when they wake up for work.I'm starting my wageslavery this coming Monday in the most boring shit imaginable

No.

8-9 hours spent working, not counting
- commuting
- eating
- bathing/cleaning/general maintenance
leaves me with MAYBE 4 hours (if i'm LUCKY) of free time to dick around M-F.

you already waste your "dicking around time" here. you are better off just working as you have no clue how to manage free time.
>>29351555
What the fuck are you trying to do buddy? Maybe you should manage your time better. I work 70 hours a week and still manage to go to the gym, go fishing, cook, and post on this sped board.
>>29351129
Protip: you've already been doing this your entire life. It isn't that bad
>>29351129
Working in an office is fun.
>>29351129
Yes if it's something you don't truly enjoy. You pretty much have to work until you die these days if you're not good with saving and investing and being content to live frugally like a grad student.

There are people who are convinced their lives are the worst and will all sorts of mental gymnastics to prove it

>reskilling? i wish i could do that, but now i'm stuck in medicine
>you're so lucky you can take a month off work, if i could do that i'd travel to Italia!
I've been taken off the roster for budget reasons on the slow season, i can't afford an overseas trip and i'm actual;ly fighting to keep my job right now
>oh yes you can, you just need to learn how to save money properly like me, they can't legally just not give you any work
yes they can
>no they can't, trust me, i know these things
she literally spends more money eating out than I earn every year. I was going to spend a few weeks overseas and budgeted a cheat asia trip but work told me if i used my time off i am legally entitled to they would fire me, she casually spent more than my 4 week budget on plane tickets alone for a 3 day trip to a 5 star hotel in Thailand.
