I feel trapped!!!

[Maximus Optimus]

Im stuck in a job field I hate but its all I have experience in. I HATE going into work everyday because I am burned out. I cant stand having a boss. I never get along with bosses. Im currently in college but wont graduate until 3 years from now. I was considering open up a small business but dont know if 40K will be enough money to start. I wanna open up a storage space business. Any ideas guys?

What's the field if you don't mind me asking? It sounds like you know what to do but need our reassurance.

Let me tell you bud, life is short. No point in wasting it away hating what you do

Im in the Utilities field. I work for an electric company in Texas.

You have a gf though right?

You have a gf though right?

Yeah I do

 

[corrector]

Yeah I do

Then why are you making all these miserable middle age threads. I must have it worst than you since I am older than you are dont have a proper job and no gf either and have aging parents that are supporting me. If I didnt believe God I dont know what I would do.

This post is a bit of a head-scratcher. You are 40 and you are in college? But you don't want to have a traditional career/job because you hate having a boss and feel burned out, so you want to open a small business instead? Then what's the point of going to college? I'm pretty sure you don't need a college degree to open a storage space business.

It sounds like you don't really know what you want. You sure you're not a woman?? j/k

If you didn't have aging parents to rely on, you would get a job like everyone else does. Your parents are not doing you any favours by financially supporting you as a 40+ year old man.

So if your 40. Have you had a job you enjoyed or at least found tolerable

What, you'd have your elderly mom kick their @ss for you?

I wasnt talking about myself. That was a general statement. Not everyone believes in God like I do.

I'm younger than you and I also can't speak from direct experience, but back in my restaurant days, I hired someone who was mid 40s that recently quit his full-time job. He became a part-time bartender at my place and also got a real estate agent license. That plus he did some consulting on the side. He seemed to be doing pretty well and didn't really have to answer to anyone. But all of the things he did required basic sales skills.

I also know some people who swear by day/swing trading. You only need about 10k from what I hear, but I have no clue as to how the market is these days.

If you really hate your job and having a boss, might as well do something about it. Sure, it's a risk, but not having to answer to anyone is one of the greatest rewards you can reap and completely worth it IMO. Storage space biz sounds kind of expensive to start. Try spending a few hours doing some research on some home businesses to start, or get on fiverr or something. You'll thank yourself in a year if you start now.

Were the bosses women or men?

It was both men and women. I dont know what im doing wrong to get fired from jobs. It seems like bosses never like me for some reason.

You need to get real honest with yourself, cut your losses and GO. Accountability is imperative, not some feminine option that gets buried in the sand alongside your head. Yeah they are good at that, deflecting all personal responsibility and accountability. Those are the same lowly fembots that ask where all the good men have gone when they hit 37 and single. Break away cold turkey and never look back. You aren't happy now and won't be at 41, 42, 43, 57... with your feet stuck in the same shoes. Walk away or continue getting jerked off on by your bosses. Chin up (mouth open)! Fucc or walk. Get a plan and stick to it with non-stop dogged determination, because simply adhering to a newly-devised plan is only good enough for those mid-30's at most. You are behind and stuck. You can thank that voice in your head named Denial D!ck.

My past two careers ran their course and I can't get any more utility out of them, nor see eye to eye with those cuckolds in leadership undergoing woke crisis after woke crisis and implementing bullsh!t trainings and stand downs that they are the root causes of!! I left that bigoty bullsh!t behind in November and don't look back anymore. I'm on to my final career choice that I decided on when I was FIVE.

Generally speaking, 90% of the time employees get fired because they can’t or won’t do their job correctly. The other 10% usually involve severe personal, mental, or personality issues of the employee.
Decide which category you’re in and make a course correction, or eventually become a homeless street resident …

What makes you think many homeless people are not working at jobs but the salary is not enough to pay sky-high rents, and all the other bills. If this guys gf is not sharing the costs you think he can even afford the place he is at with his salary?
