I struggled with this for a long time and actually spend almost a decade working at McDonalds because nothing felt worth the effort.
Last year that all changed and literally overnight I went from making a $7,000 salary to making $105,000 a year at an investment firm. I may have cheated my way up the ladder, but honestly I don't regret it.
