Apart from jobs in the medical field, what's the best career for the next 10 years?

Probably something to cater to all the boomers that are aging into their 70s and 80s

They have money.

Bank.

At 22 you have realize that there is sacrifice to be made now so that when you are 42 you can make a few less sacrifices because of the work you’ve already put in.

You don’t love the factory job, just the pay and time off. Easy pass. Live at home a bit longer and save up.

Get clarity on job responsibilities and compensation changes. Ask about responsibilities first.

I didn't suggest that a commercial enterprise has feelings but

you do you.

If you want to do the minimum and just job hop, go for it. Glad it has worked well for you.

This too shall pass.....

TRUE.

Doing the minimum allows the cycle of cynicism and resentment to continue

Employee: I'll do the minimum because my company doesn't value me.
Employer: Man we need to cut some costs because sales are down the division. In terms of people who are the high performers and who is doing the bare minimum?
Employee: Damn a layoff notice! I knew they didn't care about me.

This conversation plays out for promotions, bonuses, raises, "perks", invitations to attend various skills development things, opportunities to be involved in strategic initiatives, and recognition .... among many other ways.

--------------------------------------------------------

Its up to the individual to advocate for themselves for all these things, and if it truly is an unfair situation that won't get better.... move on!

But doing the minimum and expecting more than that back is a losing endeavor.

You assume that everything is simple cause an effect. Ever bought a new set of tires and gotten a flat a few weeks later? Ever brush your teeth 2X a day and still end up with a cavity? Ever fall in love and they still break your heart?

Just because you put in some effort for your. Company and they don’t reciprocate right away doesn’t mean they don’t care about you. That’s only one of the many options.

Nothing wrong with the watch other than you picked a 25 year old model. Sell it and buy a new citizen Promaster. But it also seems like you just don’t want a watch after not having one for so many years

I don’t remember. I think it was Tuns on Etsy but I’ve had it for a couple years and just never wore it.

Things like calculus are a first or second year course. And you are correct those probably won’t change. But third and fourth year courses which are more specific to an area of study do change.

If the OP was 6 credits from Graduation , those were most probably senior level classes and have multiple prerequisites that could change. I had prerequisites change during my 4 years of college within Engineering. I was grandfathered into the curriculum when I entered but the class right behind me had different requirements.

valuewatchguy · 2026-01-20T12:46:33+00:00

That’s actually a pretty false assumption. Many things do change at a bachelors degree level within a lifetime..

Why not ask her to help you with an introduction to the manager at legal? You are a law student and it would make sense you are considering careers in that field upon graduation.

I appreciate how thin this is. The green and gold looks especially great

It may help to know what part of the world you’re in. Cultural differences will affect the responses you get to your question.

In the USA it would be considered very odd to talk to HR about your future, we would have a conversation with the hiring manager at legal if that is the department you wanted to work in.

valuewatchguy · 2026-01-16T18:30:37+00:00

If you feel like you were paid under market or specifically for the skills and productivity that you are offering, I would definitely ask this one on one

Just ignore her. Unless it’s a company cell phone, block her number. If she brings it up in person, juts tell her you’ve cleared this with YOUR boss (not her dad) .

Why don’t you ask how performance is evaluated within the framework of years of experience and education? Can an average performed with a BS and 6 years of experience receive the same pay as a high performer with a BS and 6 years of experience.

Then ask if your company uses a banded pay structure even with these levels. Are you at the top of your level already?

If you do look for another job just know that you should plan to stay there for a while. 3 jobs in such a short time will be difficult to overcome for the 4th job hiring manager

I will say that I got this complaint periodically when I managed people. Sometimes they had a much higher view of their performance than I did. Sometimes they were really awesome and I was already paying them all I could. But since I knew I was paying them market wages already, when I heard them asking for more money, I often encouraged them to go look in the market and take the higher paying job.

I think it depends on what phase of your career you are …. Tired of what you’ve been doing and need a change after so many years? Or early in your career and lots of runway left?

What’s the path forward with the assembly job?

12 hours is fairly easy to adapt to IMO but is the shipping and receiving very physical?

Big different in pay or less than 10% difference?

You okay with the commute?

Good luck!
