Ok so not on a super ambitious career path doesn’t really match with “such a hard worker”. As someone who is 27 I’ll say this. I loved a man. Loved. We dated for 8 years. As time went on the vision for our futures became different. I wanted much more than he did in terms of a house, yearly trips, nice backyard, etc. I still love him but he isn’t my life partner. He was ok with living in the mountains in a tiny house and his career path reflected that. No shade. Just not my style.

i think the problem is that his work doesn’t sound very impressive to most people and he’s pretty comfortable with where he is in life so no big goals or ambitions necessarily. hard working comes in with the fact that he does pour his heart and soul into his work and he LOVES his job. i have a lot bigger goals for myself but my dream career isn’t going to make much money or anything, in fact he’ll probably be making more than me at his “unimpressive” job if we go for the long run with this.

Ok! Well fuck an “impressive job”. My friend’s partner cleans houses for a living and makes 6figs. If they are happy and you don’t mind then you are fine. What do they do? What do you do?

he helps manage a comic book store in town and i’m still in school for research in botany! so my job sounds fancier but realistically i’m not going to make much ever unless i discover something absolutely insane.
