Is it normal to feel like a loser

I know I'm not, but I feel like I have not really accomplished anything. All your life people preach that if you go to college you set yourself up for a good life. So in college I was under the delusion I would automatically be making 45-60k a year. I work for a great organization making 33k plus comm a year. I know that's not bad in light of the economy and feel blessed to have a job, but I feel like a total loser for not being this overly successful person. In addition to my "feeling like a loser" I'm a single mom, and although I'm in the process of buying one, I'm buying a house in a low price range (max 130k) because I don't want to be house poor. I know this is a huge accomplishment but I feel like a loser because homes (in nor cal) aren't much in that price range. I know I'm blessed in so many areas but still feel like a total loser. Anyone else have a seemingly "normal" life but still feel like a loser???

    I hate that f**ng bullsh* they brain watch kids with!

    It's not all about getting a good job or money!
    It's all about doing something you love doing!

    That's the whole point! That is why you are said because you are doing a job you don't enjoy!

    If you enjoy watching tv, get a job in the media. If you like reading book, write books or be a journalist!
    not by loving music and getting a job in IT.

    you sound kinda greedy ... 33k a year is lots of money and if you can invest to a house it will be lots more in the future ... a looser is someone that lusts the wrong things .... so dont be a looser , lust good true things.

    YOUR A SINGLE MOM! come on now, that alone should tell you your not a loser. raising a kid/s on your own; thats hard hard work. yeah sure you could probably do better, but your alive and you have a place to live, and most importantly you have the love of your child. if God could see you and your life, he would be proud.

    Most of the life which we plan for is determined by chance. We spend our lives in schools and colleges and job training preparing for a life which is passing us by as we 'learn'. I'm in college right now and I know that it's just a safety net, a lot of the time money is made in life simply by being at the right place at the right time. Keep going I know you're an accomplished person and you obviously have a strong work ethic. Sometimes I quote "Good shit just falls into your lap".
