folks harassing me on making more money-just finished college

[joe45]

i was talkin to amy dad ,who always thinks hes right. do u guys think ppl who are homeless and on the streets or even ppl who are poor-is b/c they don't have goals in life-meaning becoming a CGA, engineer, or not getting a PHD......or even going up and growing himself in an organization , and that all they want to do is party and have fun. he ssays how all the homeless ppl are all big and strong and how come they don't work , i mean i believe most ppl don'tchose to be on the streets , it gotta to be reason other than goals and ambtions in life

i argue as no as homeless ppl have mental issues....

i jsut started a new job 2 months ago ,how the heck can i become or get a high paying job when i just started in a call centre andprevious before i don;t even have any work experience related to even any work experience. i told him one has to work his way up, and not make that instant 6 figure salary job. btw i only went to community college for a 2 yr business diploma. i now somany fellow grad who finsih the program and are still workin in retail as a cashier....not even related to their field.
how can one even explain this to my harassing folks that no i don;tmake 6 figures and get promoted in 2 months-please get real.
then they compare me to my cousin who is 32 with a MBA degree,. i mean does success determine how much one makes or if ur just happy wiuth ur job. they say like look at ur other 35 yr old cousin who also went to community college hes making 40/hr doing drafting-how about you.
what do i even say to this

Yes your dad is an *******, who just like everyone else in this shallow, insincere and post-modern world believes that making lots of money is the meaning of life. To answer your homeless question, many people choose to be homeless, simply because it's easier to live that way, and if you don't have property, then you don't have to be afraid of losing property. I can tell when a homeless person is happy, and when one is not.

You define success. But if you aren't happy - don't piss around in a deadend job.

You don't live at home still do you?

Tell your pops, if he has such a succesful vision of success... why can't he see that theres an age gap of 10yrs. that he's comparing, between you and your cousin. Tell him, wouldn't a proper comparison be to evaluate me when I'm his age... and have a decade of real-work experience under my belt.

Don't sweat it man.
You are where your at.
Dream big, study avenues of wealth, and get your hustle on.
Your young, and your new to the game.

Don't let that be an excuse to slack though.
Just let it ease your father's blind judgement.
In the meantime... hustle your best angles and aim high.
