Help, my family always taught me that I have to become an engineer or an architect or some shit like that and that's it's the only way, but I don't really care about any of those things. I don't want to work for any company at all, I don't fucking care about them. Fuck you. But deep inside I still feel some shame for taking an alternative path. Maybe I even slightly admire the people who work those high-paying boeing and cucked professions.
How can I stop thinking of the what-ifs and just believe in my own path without any fucking internal doubt?
Thank you.

the only freedom you will get is from dismantling capitalism, otherwise your life will always just be a different shade of slave labor

Work is fucking gay and I'm tired of pretending its not. Thank God the robots are almost here because I am fucking done.
>work 40 hours a week
>on feet all day because chairs are reserved for those making 60k a year
>get home super tired
>days off need to take care of errands
>end of month 90-95% of money is gone to rent/bills/groceries
>basically nothing left to invest or save
>while I count pennies the CEO makes 32 million a year
>do it all over again, week after week
it's complete fucking bullshit I am so tired of wage slavery. I mean I really fucking hate it. I used to be pro work but not anymore. The poor will always be poor, trapped in a city doing menial service work for peanuts.

>work makes one free
kek, that's authoritarian propaganda. work does NOT make one free. and i have come to conclusion that work is actually a reason for poverty. work the way it's set up today.
i was making $20 and i was just short of breaking even. and this was no car payments either. cheapest internet i could get, $50 a month. not eating out, not travelling, NOTHING.
it is a trap.
companies could pay more, but they don't. the labor market is robust and they know it. they can always replace someone.
we desperately need a UBI in this country, so people have options and companies have to compete for talent. a UBI would probably radically reshape the labor force, and it would be affordable with a tax increase. it will never happen, because the middle class won't stomach a tax increase, and major companies do not want to pay their employees more. they want to keep wages as low as they can.

Internal doubt will never go away, even if your parents were fully supportive. Don't worry about it
