Wealth is measured by how much money you have between you, and being forced to get a job. Or in other words, how long you can live on your current amount of money without having to get a job. So try again.

maps.google.com is the best job search website

>make generic search term like "electronics store", "restaurant" or whatever the FUCK you're thinking about

I lined up like 5 interviews for a druggie NEET friend of mine who was kicked out of his parents' in 20 minutes that way and he had a job in under a week.

Lol nice. I like this general, I appreciate you op

Yah no fuck that. You should only wage enough to obtain as much crypto to live comfy off the gains. Why contribute to a system that is actively genociding you. But if you wanna contribute to society that is fine once you have enough crypto to live comfy be your own boss start a business hire other wagecucks. if you wanna work for someone go in knowing you can quit at anytime at no point do you feel like you need to stick with a job because you have all these shackles around you. wageslaves are slaves for a reason. Break free from your chains white man Debt and taxes or an illusion.

I drive this metal dinosaur 9 hours a day in a midwest factory for 16.25/hr I have benefits, PTO, and put 250 a month into a 401k with a 50% match. I also own a duplex that I live in and rent out rooms/shared on craigslist. AMA

Story of my fucking early adolescence. Glad I'm done with that shit. They are truly the lowest of the low in terms of jobs. Even customer service jobs are better, because at least you're not breathing in toxic chemicals just trying to survive every day.

I am working a job which I don't really like and really want to switch. But the problem is that financially speaking it would not make any sense to do so , I get paid almost the same as a senior software developer despite the fact that you don't need anything to do this job. Although the main issue is that it is pretty hard to get in . I got in but I hate it.

Frens , I want to get into Software Dev world and am studying that right now. Would you think that might be a good long term job ? All the hints are pointing at yes but sometimes when I read stuff on /biz/ regarding that area it makes me a bit depressed. Any advice ?

>>12934500
Okay I agree but I was talking about real jobs, not McWagies positions. I don't even consider the people who work those jobs to be real people

>>12934638
>Frens, I want to get into Software Dev world and am studying that right now. Would you think that might be a good long term job?
Focus on backend, not frontend. There is far less competition with pajeets and backend also pays a higher salary as well. Learn Node.js or Python; both of those languages are extremely useful for backend right now. Better yet is to learn both of them which will make your resume even more attractive and give you more job opportunities
Get an AWS certification. I don't have a college degree, and an Associate-level degree is almost always a good enough substitute in order to get an interview
https://aws.amazon.com/certification/

Fuck a job. I dont even want to be part of society, im actually just waiting for my parents to die so i can go be a homeless vagrant and beat the fuck out of any cop that tries to arrest me for being poor. Society is a game that most of us are just bad at, so unless your a born fucking winner your only winning move is just not play.

>>12934703
Thanks for the insight ! I am learning Python and C++ at the moment also I am studying on my own. But I don't really mind going to University for it despite being a 25 year old doomer. You think it is worth going for it ? I do know that the country which I'm from does not really provide the best education in IT field so that's why I am being a bit skeptical about it .

>Land a job thanks to connections in a factory

Last about a month and was like fuck that shit, where the fuck can I get a part time job that'll accept a 25 yo or a job that lets me work the lowest ammount of time without trying to get me to work whenever possible

Fucking hate how people do nothing but live for work and end up bitching about it

>>12934752
Since you're in Europe I have no idea how much employers actually care about a college or university degree. For me I did two years of college and then dropped out when I realized it's not necessary at all
>t. USAfag
The internet is so amazing that you can just learn everything yourself and be ready for a job in a year. Unfortunately employers normally won't hire somebody with literally zero experience, but having a certification can really help you get past this first largest hurdle
If the employer culture in Europe is similar to USA's, I'd recommend that you skip university altogether and get a certification and then land a part-time job for starters (this is exactly how I started out after dropping out). After a year doing part-time, I moved on to a full-time salaried position. If I would have done this at the very beginning instead of wasting two years at college, then I'd have +2 years of experience and be tens of thousands of dollars richer due to not paying student loans
Also to reiterate on how useless college has been for me, I have literally used 0% of what I learned in college in my entire professional career

>>12934703
Is golang any use for backend? All the cool kids are talking about it. It's my dream to be a back-end Barry.

>>12934837
I have looked up some positions to know what they are asking for and normally for Junior Position it's about 50/50 if you need a degree or not . If the company is big then probably you do need one although they also specify that if you have experience that will be fine as well. Smaller companies on the other hand are much more chill and will hire you if you have anything to show them that you have the knowledge to do the job.For senior positions I have almost never seen them asking for a degree.

>>12933920
I’m a wagie, and it has done very little for my self-esteem.

Unemployment is its own kind of hell, but any feelings of unworthiness are remedied with a limited part-time job. I feel bad for any wagie that has to work more than 20 hours. It is truly a nightmare and I’m hoping the stock market can bail me out soon.

>>12934737
Furthermore people act like its noble to just shut the fuck up and do your work, like your ancestors would be mad your not working a job to support society when they had to hunt down elk in a loincloth with their bare fucking hands, but thats just not true. I cant imagine anyone that fucking metal thinking its respectable to let some fat sweaty 50 year olds who own shares in a corporation make you flip fucking burgers and sell cheap plastic goods that children made in china so they can afford to molest Disney stars with their wealth, all while running fucking train on the enviroment and convincing you all of this is a good thing because profit means god has blessed you in america. Get the fuck out of here, a job is a bad thing and its bassically you unironically being a little bitch. This site wonders why cuckholding fetishes are being pushed so heavily but little do they realized these sweaty grease stains have cucked you out of your natural birthright to all the earth produces all for the low cost of you being able to buy a fucking mcstankys burger and jerk your meat whenever they arent slave driving you. Fucking pathetic, id much rather have people call me a looser and a bum rather then buying into modern industrialism, at least then I know I'm beta enough to not be cucked by these guys.

>>12934869
I'm sure there are a handful of companies using it, but the issue is there might not be enough demand to fully invest into golang. What you could do is just look up the syntax and make some really basic programs over a weekend to get used to the language, and then slap it on your resume to give it more meat
>>12934894
Very nice; if I was you I'd go work for a smaller or mid-sized company after obtaining a certification. Work there for a year and then find a new better job elsewhere. It is almost always easier to get a better or more high-paying job moving to a new company than it is to remain in the same company
You'll save a ton of money without needing to pay back student loans, but more importantly you'll save 4+ years of your life. Literally a scam how employers value 4 years of university = 1 year of professional experience

>>12934958
Thanks for the heads up , fren.

WAGIES BTFO AGAIN

all i want in this world is to code my personal projects and become a millionaire thru hard work and innovation. Can only muster up 2 hours of coding after work. It is seriously fucked up that with so little needs (literally internet, food, water and heat) I instead have to spend 50 hours a week slaving and 20 hours a week recovering from the mental onslaught.

Why is being a neet so horrible? My parents would flip shit daily if I tried to move home and do this. Ironically it would be best for them because I am their only hope for any sort of retirement.

Also I am their only hope for any kind of lasting legacy beyond genetic tracing. Why in the world are boomers this illogical?

whats your part time slavery position?

How do I escape wageslavery?
I'm a graphic designer working in-house for marketing in some SAAS company. My department is making like 60k every month and its only 4 people but everything goes to Mr Shekelstein. I know my wage is like 1700 eurobucks/mo. How do I get a slice of the fucking pie.
Did anyone ever transcend from wageslavery to freelance fulltime?

I'm working on my portfolio website but I've seen shekelstein sue the fuck out of people for no reason, I'm afraid if I use any of the work I did here it might be some kind of infringement.
But asking shekelstein if I can use it will make him suspicious

>>12933920

thanks, I’ll be trying out my new power poses today. will report back.

I've been waging for 7 years now. I had about a year as a NEET and I look back upon that time fondly, but I was also more suicidal that I've been been in my life.

Waging is a life of low, persistent misery, punctuated by short bursts of actually enjoying your money.

>>12933920
>t. Mr. Shekelberg

>>12934638
You should save up a bit and then change. I'm in oil and gas and there are many high paying dead end jobs. They call them golden handcuffs. Eventually you have to decide between pay or actual career you want. If you have a family I'd lean towards stay at higher paying job to support them but if single go for career you want.

>>12936601
>I'm a graphic designer working in-house for marketing in some SAAS
You should be building a portfolio of work on the side. Consider artstation to publish your stuff to. Make a website and then put on their possible services you can do. Then maybe see what Facebook ads cost you and buy some to get some traffic going. When you have enough business going quit your day job and do it full time.

Fuck this frens. Money's fine but my heart breaks a little more each and every day.

>>12934435
Try to max out match if possible. Otherwise good job, and make sure your saving remains consistent.

>>12934248
true. Also then you can find places next to your house and not 20km away. Often you can even just copy paste the name of the company into facebook and message them there, or find the email address on the google maps page. Uncle google is a good friend sometimes.
>>12934435
16.25 after tax? Not too bad for sitting in a box.
>>12937146
>short bursts of actually enjoying your money.
try to save and invest your money and not spend it all at once. Living paycheck to paycheck IS worse than slavery.

protip for wagies: never sign the time you actually arrive at if it's later than when you arrived. Just be late and get paid for the time you were late by, then you have magically got more free time and increased your hourly wage!

i want to smash op's skull with a hammer

>>12934533
You're literally doing the same thing you did before: sit on your ass all day. If sitting your ass in an office chair rather than a forklift gives you dignity then more power to you. I use the computer most of the evening when I get home, I think that would just feel wrong if I worked at a desk all day.

HOLD THE FUCK ON NIGGER!

what did you sign when you got hired? depending on the contract you may have said that any work you do is mr shekelsburgs because you are his employee and he is paying you for your skills. you may have signed a non compete agreement which would also fuck you. depending on the contract you signed which you should ask HR for that should help you know what sort of rights you did or did not sign away for a little tiny slice of pie.

I wouldn't put that portfolio out until I read my contract twice for any non compete or intellectual property agreements. you may have played yourself

>>12934435
whatever your budget is right now slash that bitch into one eighth im talking go full fucking cocoon mode my nigga. if they just match 50% without any cap talk to HR and put as much of your fucking check as liveably possible into that 401K.

I don't know what your budget is but uhh fuck it and your idea of a good life. Minimize all your avoidable costs as much as possible. If at the end of the month you can pay all your bills and still afford beans eggs and apples off the rent from the duplex then nigga tell HR you want 100% of your paycheck going into that 401K.

alright that might be too extreme but the more you can defer directly into that 401K oh my god my penis is becoming the jew penis. fucking idiots didn't cap their match they match 50% dump eet all into 401k and you can retire off dividends from index etfs. when you get sick of stacking that yaper you can rollover the 401k into a ROTH for tax deference.

>>12941762

like you wouldn't imagine happens all the time lil biz makes up any excuse not to hire you if they don't want to despite you being able to do all their jobs. one time I was told I was too intimidating based on my work history they thought I would be dictating new more efficient methods of business. I had an internal connection at the business who told me to apply since they work from home no one knew we were close.

enjoy being broke for life zoomer faggot you dont need netflix, a 300 dollar cable package, 150 dollar smartphone plan, 999$ smartphone, car from this decade, or eat at restaurants to have a good life. whenever I get sick of a job I tell them I'm puttin in my two weeks they scratch their head and do what they can to try and keep me while I peace the fuck out.

I got my money right so when I go NEET whenever I want I got no fuckin worries. meanwhile zoomer metal dinosaur anon could retire in like 3 years and be done with work for life. but nah you rite working well into my 80s while drinking away the stress of a shit boss and unreasonable requests is way better than being financially independent whenever I fucking feel like.

Sup bro I'm a data analyst contractor at a large bank.

Economics is a good degree to get in, especially if you want to be financial services where there are lots of jobs, and good money to be made.

Get in on a graduate scheme where they will train you up. All you need is a bachelor's degree and to pass the interview process (which is the hard part).

The main tools for a data analyst would be SQL / SAS / Python / R (not all of these, but you want to know at least 2). I didn't know how to code before getting my first job. You can pick these up on the job. The hardest part is getting your first job.

How smart are you? "Data scientist" is really just a fancy word for a data analyst who has a master's degree in applied maths / stats and does more advanced modelling work. The salary is typically higher but so is the IQ requirements. You don't want to pursue a career in which you're not smart enough for, and out of your depth, or spend time/money/effort on a master's degree that's not required.

UX designer? I know some of them but really sure what they do. It's more of a niche field with less jobs around. I would say data analyst / data scientist is a safer bet for a career.

unless you have that great idea you are just not going make it and remain a wagslave or - Allah forbid - a NEET.. I have come to accept that. I have been waiting 2 years for my great idea and it hasn't come. fuck this, I am just going to work 9-5 and play vidya. and some passive investing but that won't make me rich and independent any time soon.

>>12942337
It's a shitshow getting your first job. Just keep trying bro. Get your CV out there on job sites. Get talking to recruiters. Get active on linkedin and see what kind of companies data analysts are working for in your area. Then apply to those companies. I'd put SQL and R on your CV and Linkedin just so recruiters can find you through "key word" matches. Just keep trying.

>How much do you have in savings, roughly? That you could afford to invest in a new enterprise?

about 5000€

>Do you have a Facebook account with real friends added?

nah. deleted FB a while ago.

I feel like its too late for me to get a grown up job. I've been working shit minimum wage jobs for 11 years and it feels like this will be my life for now on. I tried going to school, but I failed and dropped so many of my classes. If I go back I feel like it will take me a long time to retake those classes and pass them. I feel like once the HR/hiring manager look at my GPA, they'll just throw my name out. I'm also bad with networking/connecting with people. So I can't have a job just land in my lap like some of those kids I went to school with.
I want to turn my life around, but I just don't know how. I've been reading books, and listening to podcasts. I'm hoping this will all help me out at the end. It doesn't seem like it right now though. I'm 27, but I feel like I have the mind of a 18 year old edgy kid. I've cut down on my time I spent looking at memes. I'm just hoping I can still rewire my brain and finally become an adult.
Not even sure if what I'm typing is making sense. Haven't had a good night sleep in 3 days.

>>12934915
I remember when I was 15 and my view of the adult world was informed by caricatures and losers.

Sorry, I meant to say "Based and redpilled". Seriously if you're a teenager this cynicism will serve you well in the world and you'll go places, if you're already past 20 on the other hand then there's no hope for you.

>all of these extreme measures

>>12941896

If his employer matches 50% of his contributions with no cap, he can turn around and withdraw from his 401K next year, pay all the massive taxes and early withdrawal penalty, and still come out ahead. But then again, that's why just about every employer that does 401K matching only matches up to a certain percentage.

Current job I live 3 min bike ride from work and it's great. Pick up some coffee from 7/11 on the way there, pick up some beers on the way home. I don't even leave home until 8:15 to start at 8:30.
Good shit.

I love this thread.

Wagies rule the world.

Get a normal job that's fun, comfy and pays the bills and use your software coding skills to make vidya.
Some furry on patreon gets $27k a month to procrastinate making a furry visual novel that literally looks like it was made in mspaint and PowerPoint
Toady gets $9k a month to make his dwarf game. Started as a side project and he quit his job when it was making stable money.
If that fat fucking Swede notch can make Minecraft, as fucking lacking in actual content as it is and retire as a billionaire I'm sure you could make a good game and do the same

Why not just go innawoods?
Canadian govt literally pays you neetbux to live as a hermit in buttfuck nowhere so they can stop Russians/Americans from stealing their oil

I wish.
It's fucking 70 here in Australia, and anyone born after 1980 has to pay for their own retirement instead of getting freebies front the govt.
My retirement plan basically boils down to either being a burden on my kids or just not living that long

My life experience as both NEET and Wagecuck.

My NEET period (2014 - 2016)
+ 30 episodes of anime per day
+ all the vidya I ever wanted
+ to bed at 3, wake up at noon
+ live with parent so no laundry no cooking no responsibility whatsoever
- unhealthy diet, fat as fuck
- get sick often
- headache
- stomach ahe
- kissless virgin
- feel guilty as fuck 24/7

My wagecuke period (2016 - present)
- live alone, have to shopping cooking cleaning do laundry etc
- only 3 episodes of anime per day
- only 1 game cleared per month (around 2 hours per day)
- wake up at 7 go to bed at 12
+ eat healthy food, hit gym, not fat (took me a year and half)
+ only sick like once a year
+ finally not kissless hugless fuckless virgin, still no girlfriend but working on it
+ parent happy as fuck everytim we met

Choose your poison I guess.

What do you do for a living?

You can't be a NEET if you want to have kids

And if you fail to reproduce and still unemployed and fapping to hentai at 3am when you're 40, you will an hero

lol no

Now stop shitposting wagies. Its late. You gotta be up early tomorrow, otherwise you might not even have time to munch on one of your synthetic poptarts.

How much does a wagie here earn per hour?

$15-23/hour here (restaurant business)

>>12934584
Look how bitter this dude is lmfao

>>12945179
Interior Design.

are you still considered a wagie if you are salaried?

>>12945775
Yes, as long as you work to live you are a wagie

Earning $3.2k a month teaching adults math

It's a nice gig, I like teaching and the adults are usually hard working, much better than teaching kids.

I save $1.8k-$2k into Vanguards each month. Hoping for some Crypto moons so I can dump that money into some other funds so I can begin making decent money on my investments

>>12944283
imagine working 55-60 hours a week

got no life kiddio?

>>12944578
I feel it's too late to start coding at 29. I have so much to catch up and I don't think I will ever be able to monitize that..

You didn’t step up to the plate, you’re not exceptional and you will die without the whisper

>>12943245
You've still got time, anon. My uncle got an associate's in mech. engineering at age 39 and now makes 80k/yr.

Is it fine to spend 30 to 40 minutes a day browsing 4chan in the bathroom? Do you think anyone will notice?

>>12946666
Those quads confirm that no, its ok

>>12946666
those are rookie numbers we're gonna have to pump those way up

>>12942568
same, the wagie making fun of killed my ability to put up with shit at work.

started talking back to my boss etc., not g iving a fuck if I get fired and so forth

About to become a NEET in 2 weeks from now.

I don't even care, I have the knowledge to create.

>>12933920
>tfw finally got a new job after 6 months of looking
No more graveyard shift in hotels. I'm going to be someones office bitch. Pays more though, has better benefits and hours,

>>12934638
Software biz is different. Dev teams are built to create a specific product and once that product is finished the dev team is usually fired, and only one or two will stay behind to maintain it.

So it's kinda like being in the construction business, building skyscrapers. You'll be back on the job market every 2 years or so, but each one will pay more than the previous one as your code-skills level-up and it's actually pretty easy to do all of this from the comfort of home. They don't expect you to relocate anymore, and they're happy not to have to pay people those relocation bonuses either.

Java is the easiest to learn and best paying right now.

>>12945976
You're thinking of it the wrong way, fren.

Most programming jobs are "Jr Dev" or "Stack Specialist" which means newb-friendly and/or "someone who knows these specific tools we're using" which are easy jobs to con your way into just by playing around with those tools before the interview.

Literally the worst case scenario is that they hire you, right? Then you're getting paid a few thousand bucks a week to figure it out! Good luck.

>made about 20k last year
>tried doing my takes, it says I owe 2k
This can't possibly be right. What the fucking shit? I spent half the year unemployed. I can't afford that shit.

>>12944804

Put in that way, it seems the only real minus of wagecucking is to living alone and having to do your own chores (which translates to less time available). And you were just consuming shit while you were a NEET.

You're totally right that it's a matter of picking a poison, but it seems to me that you chose the better one.

>>12948088
**taxes obviously. I'm about to shoot someone, there's no fucking way someone living in poverty owes taxes. I was put as a 1099 misc and they didn't withhold for 15k of it.

>being able to afford living alone on a single wage
lmao

>>12948145
Trump increased the standard deduction though. wtf happened? there's no way on god's earth I owe 2k. I was expecting a 1k refund.
should I just not file? what happens then? I literally can not afford it, I'm unemployed and living on ramen unironically.

>>12948095
>>12948184
try running your shit through H&R block e-file, it's pretty cheap, see what they come up with for your returns

BEST THREAD ON 4chan THANK YOU APU

>And you were just consuming shit while you were a NEET.
speak for yourself. a proper NEET should be growing stronger everyday. when they get employed they fucking make it until they leave to become NEET again at their own leisure.

>>12948467
>a proper NEET should be growing stronger everyday.
Not in Education, Employment, or TRAINING

>>12944593
I get to kill??
sign me up?!

>>12948516
if a NEET has the internet they can learn whatever they want no need for formal education and training these days fren

I've been cucking it for 3 years now. I keep saying to myself that this is temporary and that chainlink will make it go all away. I don't know what I'll do if chainlink doesn't moon. I don't want to wage for the rest of my life.

>>12945976
I'm 31 and started apply myself at 29. Working on a associates Comp Sci and Comp Info Sys degree.

Oldest in my classes, but having the experience of screwing up and working in fast food for 5+ years is really great study motivation.

Have had to cut down on Vidya. Less than ten hours this year on that and only have had weed once this year. Continued moderate exercising and eating somewhat healthy along with getting 8 hours of sleep.

So far, my instructors like my work and in this and previous semesters, I do well when I apply myself and spend ample time studying.

Also working on a side project for my current programming class to implement what I've learned (and then some) to build up my portfolio. A fun project too as it's something I have an interest in.

>>12949036
Holy shit you're a great person, keep it up anon
