I've stayed in a job I loathe for 23 years because of golden handcuffs. And it's not like I'm raking it in, there's just no other job that would pay me enough to live. I've had my chances to escape, but it was just too easy to stay. It's no wonder that no weekend provides any escape, no vacation is long enough, no raise will make me satisfied, and every year I wonder if I can make it another year. Kids...learn from my mistake. If you go through your day telling yourself that the depth of the hatred for your job is impossible to describe, leave early and find something else while you still have some sanity left.
“…every year I wonder if I can make it another year.” Lord have mercy… I’m in your predicament. I completely understand your feelings. That’s all I can say.
I blew my voice out today because I was sitting in my car alone screaming out of frustration with my job. I’m well paid but it’s killing me. I live in West Virginia so when you get a good paying job here you tend not to leave. I have two small kids so I just simply cannot quit. I’m stuck.
Good for you for putting your kids first. Too many people today are selfish and would’ve done something else like major in gender studies just because they like it without even giving a thought to whether that would allow them to provide for their children.
Ugh. I'd love to have a side hussle. My work life is awful and the schedule is awful. Compound that with home responsibilities and I have no freaking time.
I’m a master tech for a car dealership. I make $100,000 a year and am pretty good at what I do. That being said, I freaking hate my job. I love the people around me but hate and absolutely hate customers and the work. I’m doing everything I can to get out but most jobs only want to pay $60k/year despite my experience.
There are so many people in this position right now.... I'm near retirement age, burned out, tired and depressed. I haven't been able to find a good job with great pay since my last job ended (which I did enjoy). Had to move across the country to a lower cost of living city (where most of the jobs pay so little). I'm beyond done at this point, trying to cut all my expenses down, pay off last c.c. debt... to what??
I hate my job but I feel like there isn't anything else for me. My Fiancée and I are in our early 20s and I work in manufacturing. everything I see in my area is either retail or manufacturing and I can't find anything that would pay me a better wage than what I'm getting now. I feel like my body is starting to give out. My joints and back are always sore and they never really feel better. This isn't what I wanted for my life and It's harder and harder to wake up and drag myself to a 12hr night shift. But I can't afford to quit. We make enough to pay the bills but not enough to really save or progress in life. I feel like I'm gonna be stuck here forever and it's driven my depression and feelings of hopelessness through the roof. I just feel lost. I don't even know what I want with life anymore. Any passions that I had feel like a chore now so I don't even enjoy things that I normally would have. I feel like since nothing is bringing me joy then I should just stay here. It's "stable" enough I guess but I'll never progress and I'll never have a life I would have wanted.
If you can take a week or two off work and take some time to breathe. Life is a marathon not a sprint. Your not alone don’t set yourself up for failure by thinking your stuck. Everyone is running life at their own pace.
Why is it that everyone solution to their problem is to start their own business.. Doing that requires a lot of money, also businesses have multifaceted problems that are not normally on your radar. It's easy to say that they're easy to manage on the outside but once you're inside there's a lot of nonsense to deal with.
Ken's answer was really good and I took notes. I'm a new listener too. I'm in the midst of the get qualified stage. I need to work on getting connected. Unfortunately, the energy of the caller was a bit of a downer. I don't think she's going to do anything differently. Any time someone says "Yeah, uh huh, mmm, right" in the middle of the other person's sentences, you know they're not really listening. But I'm glad she called because I got to hear a great answer!
I'd love to hear how Jackie's doing today with her dream. I'm in the "get qualified" part of all this, and totally relate to Jackie. I'm still in the job I hate, and having such a hard time *caring* about that job.
i think she just desperately wanted to quit her job, it's obvious she doesn't know what to do without the job. She need to stick with her job, save some money and build her options.
I am about to start a job I hate but I have been trying for a while to land a job and this is the only thing that came through recently. I don't own a home yet and got to pay rent so I don't have a lot of options. I hate my life and feel so stuck right now.
Build those skills that will get you to the place you want to be at that magical "work time"...7pm-2am. This is what I've learned from the MASTER Gary Vee!
I work in a car dealership. I need a change because it’s affecting my life and health. I had been the victim of a hit and run back in 2017. I thought it was fully gone pain wise. However, over the years I’ve had this nagging lower back issue that’s exacerbated but the constant climbing in and out of cars daily. I recently went to a chiropractor and he told me about this issue. I’m going to get things back to somewhat normal. What should I do? I have ok money. I finally have insurance.
Pick something that you like and make u happy not what other what their want. Start today. Money always going be their and money all ways be printing by federal government
It’s money, not the jobs. We live in a capitalist, consumer-based society where being alive revolves around money. If you have plenty of it, you have more opportunities to make yourself happy. Without it or the mindset to live your best life without money, you are screwed.
I love how folks think it's so easy to sell real estate and make big money "a few nights a week." You need to hustle your a$$ off while getting eaten alive in fees. Plus, it will take a minute to get any pipeline of deals going. It can be all-consuming. I also don't hear any real fire or hustle in this woman's voice. I don't think she's going to do anything that was discussed
As much as I would love to sell real estate, the fees and commission structures are ridiculous. Realtors spend a lot of years not making anything while their broker makes bank. In my state, a broker has to hold your license too.
This lady was pretty negative and didn’t seem to be listening to what Ken is suggesting. Plus she just needs to pick something and STICK TO IT. Jeez Louise.
She does come off a bit negative, but I have to say I totally know where she's coming from in a way. Sometimes you get so bogged down in a toxic environment that it starts to seep into you and everything you can and can't imagine for your life and you start to think you're truly stuck doing a crap job you do not like at all. She seems to not really be ready to hear Ken's words though, as you said--she's not ready to make the leap of faith yet. She, like I have been, seems so down and desperate for a change and to get out of the toxic job that you try anything--any course or quick(ish) fix to get skills in something to get out. But in doing that you end up jumping into things that either you really don't enjoy either or things that you thought were a quicker fix but ended up not being. I've had people tell me that I need to go into real estate too because it's relatively easy to make good money. Maybe she thought the same and jumped right in without thinking it through and now she realize her heart is telling her she wants to do the online business. Either way, I think Ken is right. She's learning real estate now or has the qualifications now so go with it and use it as a tool to get there you want to go. Maybe she does't love it, but it wouldn't be forever.

This woman doesn't know what she wants to do. At the start, she talks about wanting to do an online business, then 3 quarters in, she wants to do real estate. Which one is it lady? Also, please stop saying "uh huhs" and "right" when Ken is speaking. That was disrespectful to Ken. You called him asking for advice but yet interrupt him every 5 seconds. I couldn't concentrate on what Ken was saying because of your "uh huh" and "right".
