Quit My 6 Figure Job for $13/Hr

I quit my fix figure job and started working at an Amazon Sortation Facility for $13/hr. Am I crazy? Why did I do that? I don't really need the job but this is my way of broadening my perspective in life. I always dreamed of working a many different jobs just long enough to get good at it. So in a way, you can think of this as following my dreams. I might be bored of doing different random jobs one day so we will have to see where it takes me.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON should do a thankless, low paying job at least once in their lives. If they did, there would be less rude customers and less stuck up managers/superiors, which would make every workplace a lot more bearable.

I have a Masters degree and prior to finding a job in my field, I had to work at some minimum wage jobs. You are correct in your observations that people can be condescending. I like that you are not afraid to try new experiences.

You are one unique cat! I give you major props for doing this. Respect!

Prime example of being overqualified for a job. lol

The "talking down" incident seems like it's just a dumbass trying to brush off some authority to people below them so they can feel more empowered. All because they have a $3/hr extra in their hourly.


I see this all the time. Why can't we all just be nice to one another, or learn how to better communicate.

💡The ego is a beast. People talk down to other people because of their own self inflated ego. People perceive being talked down to because of their own self inflated ego. I have decided that someone talking down to me has nothing to do with me. 🤔

This is very interesting. I got an Engineering degree and straight out of college I got a well paying job, however I’ve been interested in working at Target just for fun during the weekends. Haha I don’t need the money but I’m just curious just like you.

The funny thing is you probably have a higher education than the lady who accused you of “not following directions” Lol

[Shechatsalot]

It's so funny how curious you are. Had me smiling love your enthusiasm.

this is true freedom. when you invest wisely you can have choices, take breaks and live well. start investing 28 dollars a day will be 10, 000 in a year.

What some tend to forget is 6 figure salaries are very high stress and very hard to maintain high stress for long periods of time . sometimes not worth it.

[toddsmithmusic]

Oh man ! You’ve got the gloves on, LOL. Dude, you’re attitude is freaking unreal. You really have a open mind, wish I could work with you a few days.

I have had various jobs in my lifetime. Some I enjoyed and some I didn’t enjoy it at all. I always looked at it like this, if it was a job I enjoyed that was great if it was a job I did not enjoy I thought of it as getting paid to learn. I always found there was something to learn in every job and in every situation. Because of that I know how to do many things. Perhaps the largest bonus is learning about human nature. Yes there is a hierarchy in the workplace. The dynamics of the workplace and of those in authority over you are very interesting. Sometimes people like to be a big fish in a little pond. I enjoyed this video very much. Thank you BTB.

I did Uber as a driver for a few months, and got to see things from a drivers perspective. One unexpected consequence was that it restored my faith in humanity. I had hundreds of rides with people that were great, and could count the “bad” ones on one hand. I also got to experience weird glitches and problems in the service, and think of ways that could improve (or disrupt) ride sharing services. Very educational, overall!

[mitchparker]

haha I love it. This is something that a lot of people miss out on. In order to learn you need put your self in these types of internship situations.

I remember when I first started learning how to make money online I worked for free for an SEO company for about 4 months. I Did not earn anything but I LEARNED a ton.

This is very cool. Great vid, wish you success in your future.

I quit my office job and work from home since then. I don't have 'stability' anymore, but I feel happier. 😊

I read a bunch of books that highlighted these people working 2 jobs and have always wondered if I could "hang" if even for a short period.

So on top of my 60 hour a week start up, took up a part time job at my local golf course.
There were no jobs available immediately so I took to more creative means of acquiring a job.
I said are there any volunteer positions available. As a perk, for 10 hours volunteered a week, you could get free off-peak golf rounds and a cart.
Did this for a month and then I was asked my the head pro if I'd be interested in interviewing for a part-time job.

I was asked about my previously education and I straight up said that I wanted to learn the process... The ins and out of golf and how to run a golf course.

Did this part time job for about 9ish months on top of my normal gig and ultimately had to tell the golf pro I had to leave because it was starting to conflict with my actual job.

Ultimately, I had to tell the golf pro that I had hired more employees and I needed to spend more time training them and helping them grow.

You'll learn a whole lot from the people you meet, especially if you work at a place that attracts people of all ages. In school, out of school, working a 2nd job, retired, etc...

That's freedom! Just doing things because you're interested in.
