There is some weird sort of comfort seeing that many people my age feel just as shitty about their jobs.
Job takes maybe all your day but it's not your whole life. I mean yes it's a shitty job but it's not that bad when you have fellows around you.
props to the positive thinking guys, I respect that.
Reading your posts I had to think of this stand up comedy by Greg Giraldo ( RIP ) where he talks about the economy.
the first minute is the interesting part:

You get paid badly, and you're still supposed to be grateful, because not having a job would be worse, right?
Like here in Germany, we tend to say how great it is that many people have jobs in comparison to other European countries.
And its true, the number of jobless people here is lower than in most of Europe, but the reason why is because theres a giant low pay sector with jobs in callcenters, security, mc donalds and shit like that.
And if you don't find a job that fits to your qualification, then its your fault. As if to say, "nobody has to be unemployed, you can always start to work in a callcenter". You are meant to blame yourself when things are going wrong and we accept this silently. Seriously those who are wealthy and powerful must be laughing themselves silly when someone tells them "equal chances in education, anyone can go from rags to riches.
