I could go back to school if I knew for certain the occupation is what I want to do for my life. If I can reach one of those two outcomes, I don't really care how as long as it has the least amount of "suffering," as you called it.Ĭouldn't fit this info in the title so I'll drop it here: My picky living desire is admittedly somewhat antithetical to my degree, and definitely to simple living, but it's the truth. I either picture myself eventually taking ownership of this house, or one day moving out to Holland to live out my days in a peaceful, quiet Dutch cottage surrounded by grassy hills and windmills. I'm a bit misanthropic and don't like dealing with people when it isn't of my own volition.
The reason I want a high salary is so I can quickly return to this way of living, in my spare time during the week or when I one day retire. It's hard for me to imagine living anywhere else because I'm so spoiled with this lifestyle. I couldn't blast music or drum/sing to my heart's content because the walls were always too thin, and I could usually hear what other people were doing as well. When I was living in dorms and apartment blocks up in UC Santa Cruz, the part that wracked me the most was how close proximity I was to other people. It's a relatively quiet suburb with a great view, and shops and amenities are a quick drive/bike ride away. I live at my parents' house, I moved back here after four years of university. I've been living extremely comfortably relative to people my age. And since I have nothing to lose divulging my deepest most selfish desires, sans the Reddit karma, I’ll be fully honest. I wanted to answer with and expand on my salary/work demand here.
