2022 step increase

This is what happened to me.
Me as well.

Started as a way to pay back student debt, while I looked for something in my field, thinking I have a lot of time to start my career and heck, I was making more working for FedEx than I would have been starting in the field I studied in. Unfortunately, life doesn't stop.

I was part of the last group that could see top out in less than 10 years. I got used to the twice a year raises, bought a house, started a family. It didn't take long at all before the thought of me putting my education to use in its field was impossible due to the pay cut I'd have to take.

It all started as a way to pay back my student debt but life doesn't stop. I don't totally regret my decision. Me and my wife have made a pretty comfortable life for ourselves and our kids, doing what we do but, hindsight being 20/20, we would have been a lot better off had I not gotten used to the money and worked in the field I studied in.
