I just quit a crappy manufacturing job on the night shift where if I stayed full-time, I'd pull in 31K/year... So my situation: I'm 29 years old, live with my parents in a comfy big house with cable, internet, and no rent... In the old days, men who worked got respected by females who cooked and cleaned for them after a hard days work. Me, after a hard days work I'm lucky to afford a studio apartment with basic internet and no cable. So basically if I work and move out, my situation will actually be worse than not working at all lol.
