Got hired as an apprentice for a subcontractor for electrical. I’ve been here for 3 months and I had to wait 2 weeks in between job sites. Any time it rains you don’t work, I previously worked at a data center for Amazon and they can shutdown the entire data center for “security reasons” so you don’t work.

Out of 12 weeks I may have worked 7 40 hour work weeks. I had more stability when I was a dishwasher at a fucking restaurant.

Maybe finishing my college degree isn’t a bad idea.

I have a fender Mustang LTX100. It’s a solid state amp. At my local music store I tried out a hot rod deluxe and it sounded much better than my amp. The HRD was going for $450. My LTX100 I got last year was $400.

However I’m concerned about how loud the amp can get and how heavy it is, plus replacing tubes. I just want to know is it worth it?

Is it someone who works a normal job and can practically buy what they want at the grocery store and can afford housing but not having much savings left?

Is it someone who’s so poor they cut out all their subscriptions and even cut meat from their diet?

Is it someone who has to decide between paying electricity or their car insurance to get work?

Is it a family who has a mortgage but they’re drowning in debt and one paycheck would cripple them?

For myself I make $23 an hour. But I live in a HCOL and I have roommates to split rent. I can buy what I want at the grocery store, I can maybe take 1 cheap vacation per year(3 days to visit family) , but it’s difficult to save for retirement because I don’t have the disposable income every month.

People are judgmental towards college grads. If you went to school for an Arts degree you’ll get made fun of, if you choose education they’ll say good luck teaching those dumb Gen Alpha kids, if you say you went to school for CS they’ll say you should’ve chosen an AI proof field that’ll magically makes you 6 figures.

But hey you’ll see multiple YouTubers and Redditors talk shit about how GenZ can’t read and they’re unintelligent while at the same time demonizing college grads.
