you can't get more right than this RIP 👑

steve albini posts from 2022 responding to a guy saying 20 year olds should kill themselves working:

if you're working for somebody else, this is awful advice. in your 20s you're made out of rubber and nothing leaves a dent. live your fucking life drink all the drinks take all the drugs fuck anyone who'll have you stay up all night.  don't work a single minute off the clock.

you'll have the next sixty years to buckle down and be a professional, and by the time they give you your gold watch you won't have a mushroom guy in your phone any more.  I'm going to be 60 in a few weeks and I regret every hour of my life i traded for wages like I was robbed.
40

Or just go into finance. Then you get both worlds - party your ass off, AND make a lot of money! Just make sure to squirrel away a lot of it in the stock market, because the only way (that I can see) to make enough money to retire in America is to ride the coattails of corporations.

could have used more advice like this in my 20s. happy with where I've ended up at 35, but wish the path to get here had been a little more fun/interesting.

That was kind of my 20s. It wasn't always great. Worked a lot of shitty jobs for low pay, was constantly broke, probably added a few years to my needing to work instead of retiring at 62, but I wouldn't trade it for the grind.

Except for the "next sixty years" part, unfortunately.

Especially important for those of us who had to spend our 20s trying to struggle through school and find a career. Not to mention for me personally, struggling with the fact that I'd been repressing my sexuality most of my life with no outlet to explore. I'm 31 now and I feel like I'm so behind.
