I'm a 31-year-old programmer and I only make $22 an hour. No cost-of-living raise this year.
If I were 28, I might be able to make a case for myself being attractive, or at least successful enough if in kind of a rut. but, now, fuck. I probably should have found a new job back then.
There are 19-year-olds who dig ditches for a living that get laid once in a while at least, and have friends. I have to claw and scrape for any social contact I get -- and I do try. I try really hard, because it all dries up if I don't.
So it seems my problem is a little more severe than you college fuckups out there. You people who baww about being 22-year-old virgins have no idea how long that can go on if you let it.
Only $22 bucks an hour? WTF, my family of 3 lives off $21-car upkeep for a car that goes 300 miles a day-very good insurance we pay ourselves+gas+$600 off social security a month. That's not a whole lot of money >_> If your single and make 22 bucks an hour you're doing pretty we'll assuming you don't pay $3000 a month in mortgage, and if you are, your fault. Here's a though, go to a bar, bring some younger buddies a long, and get some damn numbers. If I can go to a Slipknot concert and get 3 numbers without even trying (and with my face), this isn't hard.
Hey, can we trade places? I'm a 28 year old female soon to graduate from college and currently unemployed. I can get laid easily enough and I have a few close friends. I'm sure if we switch bodies I'll live your life quite well.
