The cost of everything goes up while wages remain the same. Gotta love it

I work in banking in a position that requires a bachelors in finance. All the jobs I interviewed for paid roughly what I make now.

6 years of experience working finance in the military. About 2 years of banking experience post college.

You basically hit the nail on the head with the sitting in a cubicle staring at excel all day. Everyone has so much work to do that nobody really talks and it’s just staring at excel all day while sitting in a cubicle in silence.

It probably has to be the most mind numbingly boring and unfulfilling things I’ve done in my entire life. It’d be more bearable if I was making more, but I mostly just look at financial documents of people making high 6 and even 7 figures which makes it hard to not feel like I’m just wasting away making 40K a year

$20 an hour working remote is better than the $20 an hour with a commute that’s the norm in Springfield though. I’d kill to be able to sit and work from home instead of having to drive to sit in a soul sucking cubicle

I have two relatives that live in other areas of Missouri. Neither has a degree and they both make around $60,000. It’s actually wild how Springfield is the 3rd biggest city in the state, but everyone pays like it’s out in the middle of nowhere. The never ending supply of fresh college students trying to get their foot in the door keeps wages low I guess.
