Me in 2019: Hmm,,, I just got a raise to $17/hr at my data entry job... maybe I shouldn't leave this job to become a librarian, this is a lot more money than I've ever seen in my life and grad school will be expensive to pay off

Me in 2022: hahahaha you fool librarians are often union i am earning so much more than you could even imagine it's less than anyone working tech would earn at entry-level but it's so much more than you'd ever earn doing data entry all it costs you is your mental and physical well being
