If you gon work that much. Might as well do it for yourself. Every endeavor i've ever undertaken in life started off slow, everything. But if you put those kinds of hours in on something you have a passion for, it will be worth it in the end, and faster than you think. You'll thank yourself later on. Quarter raises every 90 days don't stand up to building something you love on your own, monetarily or morale. I wake up before my alarm clock goes off. I used beat the breaks off the snooze button before I jumped off the porch on my own.

That's the goal man...I just need some capital and to clean up my credit

How old are you?

You should start there in my opinion.

I could never do that 2 jobs shit. If my job don't pay enuf for the lifestyle I want then I'm going to find another job that pays more for same hours. I'm too old for this multiple jobs/slaving shit

You should be good for a minute runnin that schedule because you still young, but not too long. Life a turtle race. Slow and steady beats burnin the candle at both ends everytime. Especially over time. It's better to work 8 hours 7 days a week than workin 16 5 days a week. But if you got it in you, you'll know better than everybody answerin. Just take care of your body. Drink lots of water, get sleep when you can, try to live stress free, and stay away from sugar, caffeine, and fatty foods. You're askin your body to do a lot, it will give you what you're askin for provided you treat it right. Anything less is like puttin 85 octane in a corvette. Energy drinks are the devil. Coffee has its own long term effects, and refined sugar, simple sugars are one of the worst things for your body and mind.

Good lookin...It wouldn't be 16 hours 5 days a week tho..only 16 hours for 3 days at most and then the rest 8 hours with weekends off mostly.

Awwww nigga you super good. Do ya thing. Go as long as you can til you where you wanna be. That ain't even that rough.
 
Tell your doc you are having trouble staying awake and having trouble focusing. He should prescribe you an amphetamine. If you are lucky you get some Adderal, but more likely you will get something lighter.

Before all you anti-drug zealots are shocked, hear me out. If you are going to do it anyway at least let a physician check you out. Much better than clutching your chest because you drank too many energy drinks. Amphetamines can be abused (so can energy drinks). Resist the urge to crush them up and snort them. (Joke, sorta)

Keep it G there are plenty of other legit buisness you can get into without slaving away. I mean I work 40 a week on top of fulltime school shit and doing whatever I need for the army and still got my side hustle which is starting to become my main hustle selling firearms. Fairly cheap and easy to get into and way more longterm stability then houses.

Put to answer your question 5 hour energy work and it doesn't have like a crashING after affect

I know this here to be true but with my current skill set and experience levels most jobs I can get are around $10-11 / hr range until I get back in and finish school. I used to work at a credit union so this time around I wanted something where I wouldn't have to deal with the general public. I picked up the full time job for the benefits but I really like the part-time job for the skills I'd learn and be able to put on my resumé down the line.

I couldn't see myself selling guns tho

There are better jobs that you can get at a supervisor level. I'm only a year older then you but was a supervisor at a wear house at 21 because I had a forklift/pallet jacket license which you should look into getting. My whole motto in life is to work smarter not harder your gonna kill yourself physically and mentally working that much.

And as far as selling guns can understand why some might not like it but in the end it's just an exchange. Apartments and condos are good to deal with my friend has an apartment complex he gets good money from it
 
I been there. i worked 12 hours a day 6 days a week when i was 23. That shit made me miserable for starters and killed my social life secondly. I didn't have time to spend what i made, all a nigga did was sleep. Thats no way for a young man to live.

This is why I want the part-time position so bad...They offer training and certification and I think I'll have a better opportunity to advance within the company than the full time gig I got...and if not that I would have better footing to get a supervisor position with another company down the road if I put in the work here

lol that's what I'm saying..everybody acting like I signed up for the plantation or something
 
16 hours a day 3 days a week ain't bad I was doing it 5 days a week and I would of kept it but my part time had to work around my full time so I either had to be late or leave early at times they didn't want to deal with that, just call it a short term plan and grind it out for 6 months or so and get ahead, you'll find it easy to get ahead since you won't have a lot of time to spend money and you will appreciate the weekends so much more, 2 days off after a week long grind felt like a vacation, knew I couldn't do it forever I got burnt out at times but I got so used to the money it was hard to let go I didn't know what to do with myself for a while I got so used to it but I put myself into a position to buy my first house and get a new car

Don't depend on them to do it. I don't know if you ever worked a warehouse job but they legit treatworkers like shit and alot of shady shit like using illegals as temp workers cutting corners in breaks trying make yiu do mandatory overtime. Out of all warehouses I worked at ups was the worst

But like I was saying g don't depend on the company can go online and find places in your area that does that certification and yeah go cost a lil bit but it's an investment in yourself and makes you more marketable.
