Is it worth it to work for less than 40k before taxes overnight now? What about in 10 years?

discussion

I was unable to escape retail hell after finishing college last year. I'm just working at a grocery store now. Overnight. In a HCOL area. Poverty wage. For part time hours.

Was a comp sci major. HUGE mistake I know. I'm running away from the field. I can't enter any other field without paying for school again, which... nah. Not competitive enough without experience anywhos.

I would be homeless right now if I wasn't living with parents. Due to them I've been able to save 15k in the last year or so after I finished college. Almost every penny I made. It'll be 30k in a year, 45k in two years, 150k in ten years. This is it. The end of my life.

Just want to hear opinions from the six figure earners here, and likely get roasted
