So true. Seriously bad. As you said, they aren't on $150k like their mates. Well they can get an education/work ethic and work towards those goals.

But people seem to think they are entitled to everything without actually earning a damn thing.

You are either lazy or stupid if you are stuck in a job you don't like. There are options, and if all you come up with is excuses as to why you are stuck where you are, well reality check - it is you that is holding yourself back, take responsibility for yourself, it is no one elses fault.

What ever you are doing, if you have a miserable attitude, you'll have a miserable life.
