Are you happy with what you're doing? If so, then none of the rest matters at your age.  If not, then it's not too late for a change.

that's the thing. it's soooo spotty. some days i love it. some i hate it. it's really a mixed bag.
 
 but at the same time, i dunno if this is just a quarter-life crisis...

I'm sure that helps the good ole USA come in a respectable fifth in overall quality of life index:

Of course, this must be pointed out as well to put things in perspective.  GDP per capita rankings (in USD, source IMF):
 
 United States 43,574 (4th)
 Canada 35,494 (9th)
 UK 35,051 (11th)
 Japan 32,647 (18th)
 Germany 31,095 (19th)
 Italy 30,732 (20th)
 France 30,693 (21st)
 South Korea 23,926 (30th)
 Brazil 9,108 (68th)
 
 And I get 10 days vacation, with a liberal sick leave policy that I think is crap because too many people abuse it. [/b]

We are always hiring.  We have 20 openings this week, about a third of which are in my classification, the rest are union jobs, but they have pretty good bennies as well.

Australia, Holland, New Zealand I could agree with, but any chart that has France at the top that isn't titled "Biggiest Pussies in the World" or "Least Thankful Bastards post WWII" I have a problem with.

Welcome to your twenties....

[Venerable Bede]

i get 16 1/2 days per year for whatever i want, plus an additional personal day. . .and i get all state and federal holidays (there are two extra state holidays, not including day after thanksgiving).
 
 with an automatic yearly pay increase (5% or something like that), unless the state imposes a salary freeze.

[walkonby]

i make my own schedule, my pay is what i sell, my vacations are when i feel like it, and unless there is an appointment, my wake up call is a nice ten am.  i don't have benefits or insurance, but gladly do without for the business profile of freedom that i fell feet first into.

So it's you!
 
 Stop calling during dinner.
