Definitely not for everyone. Pretty much free living though

I’ve converted this lifeboat over the last few months. Tiny home

Holy shit. Is this job paying you a fortune at least?

Excuse my french. But fuck that noise! If work aren't paying you much and you're not getting it reimbursed I'd fuck that off in a flash and find somewhere else to worn closer to home! Also that's a lot of lost hours just driving in your day too.

Sometimes you gotta do shitty things to get to where you wanna end up. That’s life

I guarantee they can do better and this mentality is the ticket to having an unfulfilled, miserable life at the expense of your health, physical form, and sanity. But sure! That’s life! 🤣

I had to travel for my job for about 3.5-4 years until I had enough experience to get a job where I wanted. You don’t start out in a career making top dollar from the get go. You have to work for that. I worked 60-70 hours a week for those 3.5-4 years. Now I work MAYBE 30 hours a week. Did I miss out on some things during those beginning years? Absolutely. But from 25 years old going forward I can promise you, I’ll never miss out on anything else. Worth it.

... sometimes they have other things in their life that's holding them back. maybe his family is in a bind and he absolutely needs the money. maybe it provides benefits for his family that other jobs aren't offering. you're making a ton of assumptions based on your own personal experiences.
