Just had enough

Great post. What do you suggest for someone not established in the work force yet? I'm 29 and since I graduated from college I have been bouncing from not so good job to not so good job. Long hours and hard work with a questionable future for my generation. You seem like a person with a good outlook on life. Just curious if you could start over, would you stay with the same employer and work towards traditional retirement or something else?

You need to figure this out for yourself. What works for others probably won't work for you.

But, since you have to work for something somewhere and for somebody even if it is yourself, you need to start somewhere. The grass typically always looks greener elsewhere. If you work for the government owning your own business looks better; if you own your own business, sometimes looking at corporate or government with regular paychecks looks better. Just dive in somewhere, you will figure it out.

I retired six years ago, it is nice!!! And I never hated my job, liked almost all the people, and the work.
