#my mom says I'm going to be fine but her generation had a much wider range of things you could do and still afford cost of living#she grew up in the nineties for god's sake#unless i want to work in tech econ or med I'm not going to be able to afford rent in a city#even if i do everything right towards the kind of career i do want#cause $50k a year won't even pay for a fucking studio#i don't think I'm going to be able to survive in the real world#and I'm doing everything right I'm keeping my options open I'm going to community college with the intent of transferring to a four year un#and none of it is going to matter because I'm just severely and profoundly fucked just like everyone else in my generation#and my family didn't really struggle! my mom & biological father both went to college#i grew up in like a lower middle class household#and I'm supposed to be fine!#i did everything right god damn it it's supposed to be fine#my parents were fine and their parents were fine and i did everything right. i did everything right#i should get to have a life in the real world and an apartment and groceries and enough money to be not well off but comfortable#and visit family for a week once a year and i don't know if I'm going to get that ever#impetus for me posting this: doomscrolling apartments.com and comparing it to the average salaries for theater tech / radio prod
