Reply to comment by Huli_Blue_Eyes in TIL that Ulysses Grant was made commander of all Union armies at 41 and President at 46 by IllustriousAct28

Grant at multiple times in his life was where you were.

He kept doing different jobs until he found some he excelled at.

At one time in Grant's life, he sold firewood on the streets of St. Louis.

I have 2 degrees, worked in marketing, sales, retail, pierced ears, ran a group home, was a banker and teller, ran rides at an amusement park, and a bunch of other jobs in between.

Yeah, I'm f**king exhausted. I've been working since I was 11 and people like you fail upwards without any empathy for people who are truly struggling right now.

Happy holidays.
