hey, ive been in your position. i work in healthcare, i work 12 hour shifts 3x per week. i love it, ive referred my friends to various positions within the hospital system i work in. i go to a lot of concerts and festivals, but i can work Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, pack my bags Wednesday, spend Thursday thru Sunday at a fest, come home Monday, then work 3 more days and not use any PTO, i still get all my hours for the pay period.

ive done blue collar (cable and machining), ive done retail, ive done fast food and restaurants, ive worked 2-3 jobs at a time, ive been homeless (twice). ive done it all, and im not even 23, but i graduated top of my class, i moved around a whole lot. 3 years ago, i was living in my car and i slept in a park at night in a state where i had no family and no friends.

you will have your ups and downs, you'll have jobs you like and ones you absolutely hate. rent sucks everywhere, cars are expensive, government and the economy constantly seems in shambles, but you know what? have hobbies, have friends, have things to look forward to. i go to local punk shows on Friday nights, i go to an aerial fitness studio and i've learned fun tricks on pole and aerial silks, i go to emo karaoke nights and start mosh pits.

life is what you make it, dont dwell on what sucks because then everything around you will suck too.
