This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

Anon is often crazy.
Anon is often depressed.
Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

so many bozos on the internet they know what these fields are like, and it shows they know nothing.

folks who post how wonderful it is have survivorship bias. your average mechanic/plumber/electrician isn't making bank, they are making average to below average wage. and the income is not steady, it's sporadic. you might make 100k one year and 60 the next, or spend 2 years with minimal income because construction market or similar is slowing down.
