Something is wrong with your analysis. Lots of below upper middle class folks report "finding themselves" in college, and most people don't earn $180k out of college regardless.
> I make less than most of my friends and they, by virtue of independent wealth or higher income or elite status, are significantly happier than me.
I'm not really in the "money is irrelevant" bucket but this doesn't look like a monetary problem you're facing here.
Seems like you overtuned things and hit a lot of diminishing returns, where you worked hard but didn't see much for it, but now you assume people who work less hard have seen even less, but that's not actually always the case because well we are told the world is unfair quite often, yet in cases like work we for some reason decide not to believe it.

I guess the real problem is I'm still a failure no matter how much effort I put in.
- toomanybeersies 8y agoI don't want to sound like some bullshit life coach, but are you really a failure, or are you just measuring success wrong?
- sadamznintern 8y agoProbably both. I"m just angry that I had to work hard for [relatively] little when I could have just done nothing for 4 years and been in the same spot or better.
