Discussion Anyone else in their 30s and feeling like their life has been wasted with no way out?

[ringo99]

I'm in what's essentially a dead end tech job, no motivation to look for another despite getting my masters' in management last year and zero interest in ever getting married or even starting a relationship. My life's in a slow death spiral that's sure to end in poverty and homelessness

Similar. No hope for nothing by now.

Yeah. Didn't take college or my health seriously. Crap genetics and look older than my age thanks to that + poor lifestyle choices. Mental illnesses since 15. Burnout after years of working harder than I should have had to nearly every waking moment of the day. Lost my apartment and a bunch of my belongings. I'm just inferior in every way it's like the universe hates me.

I'm in my 30's and I do see CTB being a realistic outcome for me, I pretty much already made my decision in my 20's and in my 30's it is no different. It is just a matter of time and circumstance before I finally punch my bus ticket and whenever I do I am going to make sure I'm 100% ready before I do so because I don't want to fall off the bus and get stranded or injured without another chance to get on a future bus.

Most jobs are kinda dead end now unless you are in the top percentile of folk.
Getting anywhere within a company requires a disgusting amount of backstabbing and brown-nosing to move up the ranks.
I'm pretty sure the higher up in a company someone is the lower their IQ tends to be, at least in my experience haha.
