I am jealous of my friends
I (27M) am lucky enough to have an amazing friend group. In particular, I am the closest to three people (25M, 26F, 26F). We ve been friends for more than 5yrs, and went through so much together. We've been knowing each other since we were fresh out to high school and still figuring it out. Now we are all almost adults, we graduated and we have since entered the job market. And thats the problem. All three of my friends have chosen, partly out of passion, mostly for the job prospects, universities that they knew would lead them to good career. One is an electrical engineer, the other an environmental engeneer and the third one went into economics. I would have loved to choose one of those courses too. Unfortunately I am extremly poorly versed into anything that isn't art/literature so I choose something that I felt would interest me but still give a decent shot at finding a job, so I went into psychology and did a master in HR. Unfortunately due to my country's not great financial status (I live in Southern EU) I have since been bouncing from internship to internship, related to my field or not, with very low pay and no prospect, while they have since moved on to very profitable and extremely low effort career. They managed to score well paying and cushy jobs given the high demand for their figures (they themselves described their job as very very easy). Now they find themselves in a position of being able to plan marriages, buying houses and travel while I am still stuck in my parents house. Now, I want to reiterate they are great people and despite me not being able to take part in their activities due to financial constraints they never made me feel excluded. I want to be happy for them, I really do but I can't help but feel jealousy and wish that I too could be mathematically inclined, expecially when we talk about our work days and they describe it as "sending some mails and attending some meetings" while I as the intern do all the grunt work for 1/4 or less of their pay. Its no ones fault, life's like this but I can't help but feel jealous, despite me trying to not have this show in the relationship I am afraid it does a bit. Plus now they're planning another trip i won't be able to attended, so yeah.
Sorry for the formatting, I am on my phone. Also sorry if my english isn't the best, English is only my second language.
