You need to snap out of it. For real. There is so much going on in the world. Get out and enjoy it. I'm being serious. I don't know what your reasons are for feeling the way you do, I don't know anything about you, but I do know that everyone has things they have to deal with in their own lives. I do. But, I also choose to LIVE my life despite all the crap I have to deal with.
I don't get the low self esteem thing?
If it was only that easy to be happy all the time. I wish it was like flipping a switch and acting like life is great . The truth is i am 30 with noting to show for it my life almost over and there are things i want to do still. I have to get college done first in order to do the things i want to do .
It is college degree or bust for me there is so much riding on me getting a degree and a good i like and are passionate about . With out it there goes ever having a GF/ wife , kids , a house , go on vacations and have any fun.
Working retail is not good enough to feed a family on I would have to get a second job then never see them .
Don't make this a NYC thing dude and you really don't want to make me take my hoops and heels off! Just because your female friends are stupid about the men they choose doesn't mean it's the norm for most women.
His NYC and my NYC are two completely different places.

So not true. I knew a guy working a typical $10/hr job. He had a gf. They got married. They had a kid. He quit his job because he made less than daycare and became a SAHD. His wife made the money and continued to work. They had vacations, nice ones too, and eventually had a second kid. He did a side job, but nothing to really make money, more of a hobby. He's super happy.
Granted though, he also doesn't have an ego about having to be the one that brings home the bacon. And too many men have that ego problem. If she's fine with you and your retail job and/or becoming a SAHD, who cares what you make or don't make.
$100K plus nice. What makes it even more special is if you marry him making much less and with your love and support he is able to achieve that income.
This should be interesting. Although I find this one of those things were women say one thing and do another. If the woman really likes you she will over look how much money you make.
Some major bullshyt right here... she'll overlook you for a bit, enough to kick the tires and take it for a spin or two, but I think at the end of the day, for a real LTR/marriage a decent salary has to come into play at some point. Whether women want to admit it or not.

Some will, some won't. Nothing new about that (the fact that not all women want a man only if he makes decent money).

Dude, how's your life almost over at 30? You have another 60 years to go, maybe more! Make the most of it.

Can I suggest an alternative to college? How about a skilled trade? Some trades start out around $80,000. Here is a link in case you are interested:
The reason I write that is because there are plenty of college grads who can't find a job or have to go even further to college such as law school or medical school to get a job.
