I am making money. I have never had a job with benefits. Never had insurance. Like I said, I can find ways to pay half the rent here and there.

But based on the experience here, it seems like people found work out of college, were able to focus in field because their expenses were paid for by a company and were able to create a family. None of this is an option when I spend 12 hours + a day trying to find money doing various work I genuinely don't care about.
