But if she busts her butt at that job another can open up. My gym just lost our manager. The employees all applied. None of them got the job. Why? Because they spent their time on their cell phones.

The job went to a gym member who is a marathon runner and exhibits the traits the management wanted.

i just texted her that some old guy on the internet told her she needs to work harder. I am sure that will do it.

I can see why she isn't happy. When I was 30, I was make $100k a year, and she is smarter than I am. She went to better schools, and made better grades and my degree was just as worthless as hers (philosophy).

She thinks she is worth about $150k, I tried to explain to her in November that you are worth whatever anyone is willing to pay you. She thinks someone will pay her that, she just hasn't met them yet.

Hahahha! What is it that she thinks she can contribute to a company for them to justify paying her a salary (150k/yr) that typically most Americans will never earn after working in a career their entire life. That just affirms her delusion. No offense to her character but she's clearly not living in reality.

But seriously-what is it that she's applying for? Like..does she know what most people in the real world, even in specialized careers like engineering, actually make?

Eta: it doesn't matter what your degree is in outside of things like medical and technical specialties. Mine is equally as useless in the workplace (poli sci).

Whatever you do, don't loan her any money. She has delusions that should have been resolved ten years ago.
