My dad can keep a job better than me. He’s had like five jobs, each one for over ten years.

I’ve had like 30 jobs, and the longest for maybe 1.5 years. I’ve been fired a handful of times.

Somehow my father can just find a groove and stick with it. In me a dissatisfaction grows really fast and I waver on things.

same here and i think my parents got good at sticking with a groove because they had a family of 7 to feed, cloth, and house; meanwhile i have only had pets that don't grow up to be shitty self entitled tweens.
