Secondly, don’t live above your means….you can be happy in a 1,000 square foot home. A big house and expensive car will not make you happy. If you have wealthy friends that you compare yourself to, get poorer friends. But the original topic was about part time, entry level work….if you don’t find something that makes you happy and can pay for your lifestyle, you are doomed to a life of shi**y jobs and shi**y apartments. It’s a big world…explore it and find something you truly enjoy.

I cant agree more. I love what I do, but would not recommend younger people to get into the field mainly because of the schooling and the loans. Just not worth it. I was lucky in that I got into it before things got too crazy.
