>Found out my coworker, who's the same age as me, has parents whose house is currently worth $1.8 million dollars
>TFW my parents don't even own a house

Feels bad knowing there are people my age or younger than me who'll get a million dollars when their parents die while I'll probably end up footing the bill for their funeral. I guess real estate is the only worthwhile investment

At 28, I had $600k in my investment portfolio, a long term GF, & a promising career in sales.
At 38, I'm single, negative net worth, going back to college after my career fizzled out, & I'm currently working a $21/hr job

>Currently on worker's comp
>Only get 67% of my pay
>Been out for the last month and for another month at least

Any jobs I can take that pays under the table?

>Had a phone interview scheduled
>Interviewer never calls

What kind of sick games are these HR people playing?

>Applying for a simple job while going through a career change

>VP of emerging markets
>Legal Controller

>Equity Analyst
>Data Scientist
>Merchant Growth Analyst
>Regional Operations Manager
>Technical Investigator

Meanwhile, I sell milk. Honest God, I sell milk, & I have to try to convince store managers to give us shelf space, like it's milk.

>Trying to learn new programs to expand my skillet
>Programs cost $200+
