    I’m undiagnosed, uneducated, but I haven’t held a job longer than a year after 12 years in the workforce. I lose interest in the job a month in, usually right after training and getting a grip of it.

    All the Jobs I’ve had were min. wage entry level junk. I haven’t worked anywhere that had vertical movement. These types of job are mind numbing, the culture is awful, and it’s borderline slavery.

    I don’t self-medicate with alcohol, caffiene, or smoking, as nearly all of my colleagues do. Therefore, I don’t tolerate things that are “normal”.

    I think everything we are forced to do will result in burnout. Work, chores, homework. If we have to do it to get by, it’s going to burn us out at some point. You can either cope by self-medicating, or find a new job that sounds interesting to you.

    In many states, work is at-will. You are allowed to leave at any time. If there is a better opportunity for you (not just financially, but mentally) take it.
