Well, those Wal-Mart greeters seem very happy...All kidding aside I was making that amount last year and felt the same way. I personally went back to school to get my teacher certification because Illinois has kick-ass pension for teachers...which will hopefully be there for me in 25 years. I make way more this year, but I definitely pay more in student loans a month too. I still come out ahead though. You might go to a community college and get some credits. Ask for a raise. Give them reasons why you've earned it, you never know If you ever make anything, you can have an online store on Etsy.com for like 20 cents an item or you could sell crap on Ebay. People will buy anything if it looks like Jesus or Elvis.
