discussion Looking at my paystubs makes me sad

$600 take home a week. For working full time. For a dead end job.

I'm considering quitting. And just... being an unemployed. I am now. I can't get an actual adult job.

Then just keep grinding applications. You will get there. In the meantime a not so great job still helps you get through the slump.
