>EDIT: being NEET is NOT a job.
That's the end goal though. To not have to spend 40 hours a week on something just because you need the money. At the end of the day, anyone who has a job wants to retire, to reach a state where you have enough money that you can do whatever it is that you want without having to ever worry about whether that activity will bring in any more money, and to be able to do this for the rest of your life.
If you aren't a NEET, then you're doing something you don't really want to do just because you have to bring in an income or are worried about what people will think of you if you don't. NEET life is the only true goal.
>>52180076
I want to be a NEET
Something with 4hrs a day computer work (CAD etc), the other 4 hours walking/ driving around, getting sunshine etc, turning a screwdriver.
Hard mode: I hate oil and gas, not super keen on data centers, and would rather not be part of the military industrial complex.
Maybe a field service engineer, or Test/R&D for something like a self-driving car that would get me outside for running tests.
Failure/Reliability Engineering/analysis would be fun too, getting to design torture tests and break things intentionally, but might not get as much sunshine.
Also something with at least mildly flexible hours. Right now I'm on a production line in a factory and they're constantly reminding us "the line depends on you blah blah blah"... just something where I can show up and leave maybe half an hour early or late some days without it being a major clusterfuck.
My dream workweek is only 24-36 hours a week, but I know that's probably not realistic. Also I would prefer to be paid hourly rather than on salary, that way if I'm busting my ass for the company I get rewarded appropriately, and days when there isn't any real work to do I can leave early without feeling guilty.
Just want to be a plain old Network and Computer Tecnician.
Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm living my dream job.
I'm a cop in a small town, but I'm also head of the county cybercrimes division. I get to be there for people when they're having the worst days of their life, and help them out. The majority of my job is routine patrol, but occasionally we raid some NEET in his parents basement jacking it to ponies and child porn. Best day ever was when we actually found an honest to god NEET in a basement funposting on /r9k/ while jacking to kiddies. He had headphones on and didn't even hear us come in. /g/ was in his browser history as well. Tyler, if you're reading this, you're violating your parole, cuntbag; and I'll come over and hit your head into your desk again when I arrest you. :^)

more generally, betas will never rise up to overthrow anything, because by definition a revolution needs a leader, and betas aren't leaders. furthermore, any economic system hates betas and those who would prefer to NEET. Capitalism just hates them through neglect - "earn your own money, I won't support you with any of mine". Socialism and communism hate them actively, and seek them out and punish them for not working for the benefit of society. Which in a way makes them even worse - a capitalist society doesn't much care about you being a NEET as long as you aren't demanding others fund it, a collectivist society hates NEETs on principle.
Being a NEET is terrible, but being a wageslave who works 45hrs a week is also deplorable (although much less of course).
My ideal job would be something which i can do with little to no effort, but at the same time, with enough motivation to keep going.
Also, no more than 4 hours a day.
I currently work 9 hours a day and i feel my life passing away.
Between 4 and 5 hours should be the sweet spot according to my calculations. And weekends free of course.

Actually, thinking men usually have jobs doing some sort of research.

The U.S. postal service is a dying business.
My aunt is a USPS postman and she has mentioned doubts she has had about job security since nobody is sending out letters anymore.
So don't say you didn't see it coming if you randomly get laid off.
I just want to dedicate my life to study of random things.
I want a lifestyle that allows me to do the following:
- Have a good exercise routine.
- Have a good hygiene routine.
- Have a healthy diet.
- Get 7 hours of sleep every night.
- Study a plethora of random subjects (whatever is interesting to me) such as lockpicking, artificial intelligence, cryptology, mathematics, chemistry, etc.
- Create advancements in the fields that I study (such as a new lock design if lockpicking, sustained one-time-pad communication for cryptography, etc) and open-source these advancements.
When I become interested in a subject I tend to drop everything else in my life and dedicate all of my time to that subject. This allows me to learn A LOT about different subjects within a short period of time. The only disadvantage to this is that a job would interefere with it. Jobs bore the shit out of me, and it is VERY difficult for me to focus on something that I do not care about or believe to be useful.

Eh, as someone trained in knife fighting I'd say if someone pulls a knife you should step back and pull your gun.
A knife is more lethal than a gun up close as you can even slash someone as you draw and you barely have to aim. The only advantage you have is range.

Ultimately I want to lead all of mankind. I know that sounds absolutely retarded, but I am just being completely honest.
I envision a world that works on a 4 day cycle. On 1 of these days you would work in a job that is essential to the functioning of society (so no Target cashiers for example). On a second day you would be required to go to school (education would be a lifelong process). If you are not yet an adult, 2 days of this cycle you would be going to school. On the days that you have off you could garden, go to the public baths, travel to different parts of the "country", etc.
There would be no monetary system. You would be required to work if you want to stay within this society. In return for working, you are given a free supply of food (although you cannot take as much as you want, you have a daily caloric limit to prevent obesity), a free house, free clothes, etc.
For everything that is not essential to living, you could ask for from the government. Asking for things would be as simple as going to a 5 minute court where you discuss with a judge why you think you should get something. So for example, if you want a new couch for your house you would go to one of these courts and provide a reason for wanting a new couch. Unless you are abusing the system or provide a terrible reason, you are likely to get the item that you request. You also go to these courts to request vacation time and other things.
For things that would only be used by you for a single day or a week (things such as hammers, lawnmowers, etc) there would be public sheds that you could go to to check things out (like a public library but only instead of books you can get tools and stuff).
Exercise would be required, as would be good hygiene. In this society lazy and disgusting people would not be permitted.
Of course, this is a very rough blueprint of a society. But it is just a small collection of ideas that I have thought of randomly.
>>52182989
the nig in question was stumbling and cracked out of his mind and drunk as hell too, which was weird because usually crackheads dont drink. partner clocked him in the head and then kicked/stomped the living shit out of him.
>>52183055
Ultimately though, in this society we would try and have as many jobs as possible be taken over by robots so that more time can be spent studying and inventing new things. The creation of new things would be more easily done due to everything being open-source and the very evident encouragement to help advance society.
Sorry for my rambling. I know that there is almost no chance my ideas could ever come to fruition, I just like writing about my ideas.

This is very interesting. It's almost unfortunate that a system like that doesn't exist. With the way that people work, though, it would need some kind of reward so that people are motivated to work. That's also why I think that a monetary system would be needed, to motivate people to invent successful new things that people use and are willing to spend their money on. Also, if there was no monetary system, how could your country buy these resources from other countries, since obviously you wouldn't be able to produce them, since companies wouldn't want to produce in the country, simply because no one would get paid a currency that they can exchange. I'm intrigued by this idea, I just think it needs a little refinement.
I recently started as a web developer and am currently barrelling through their "list" - of undone things, which is why I was hired. I will stay after that's done though, for new clients. But from where I've come from, I've easily come to the conclusion I don't really have a dream job as long as I'm allowed to DO THE JOB.
I had previous "jobs" at mom and pop computer stores. not trying to stroke my ego but I easily knew more than the owners and whatever stupid friend of theirs they called a "network administrator" and put me to work with.
Every single fucking time, it was, "don't change anything", don't do anything, but somehow fix the problem. I'd been lying out of my ass at these places, secretly making it work then saying it was a simple button click or some shit that they'd buy. I'd also have to secretly "misplace" networking hardware since 99% of the time it was just a failed or abused switch/router so I would have something to replace it with. Had to keep a salvo of this shit in my car, driving to home was too far.
I hilariously got the offer for this new position right in the middle of a SHTF situation for one of our clients... their router died, and nobody at this shit place knew even what a router IS. They spent over 6 straight hours trying to plug a modem into every last port of a "managed switch" (it wasn't even fucking managed) until they finally called me.
>"Oh but one or two PCs get an IP when we do this... it's x.x.x.x"
>that's a public IP
>silent stares
>they don't even know what a private or public IP is
Again did the same secretive bullshit, had to, where I secretly installed a router we had in stock when they were out of the room and in less than 30 seconds their network was back up.
While this obviously won't be my last job, the point is I'd easily be happy doing whatever as long as I'm allowed to do it. Otherwise it's just pretending to "fix" things all day to pretend to keep busy, and I'd rather be fucking dead.
If we're being realistic, I'd like to become a developer.
If not, then probably Pokemon trainer, or Gundam pilot, or live in a TV show like Parks and Rec.

I thought this too, but then I realized that the open source community "defies" the belief that you need something in exchange for working.
The thing you get in exchange for working would be the ability to live in this society.
For things that you invent or subjects that you pioneer in, you would do so simply because you find joy in doing so. Why there so many different open source programs out there if the creators do not get anything in return? You would also get respect from people if your creation(s) are used a lot in society.
For things that improve society by a lot, you could get rewards from the government, like trophies and such. Maybe you could even get a statue built of you?

I have a 100 hour looping playlist of ' The Big Bang Theory', 'Mr Robot', 'Silicon Valley' and a few other misc. shows that I throw on in the background to emulate human interaction while I code and browse the web now.

That is because work is still required and will always be, it is rather that people can enjoy work if they took the time to find a suitable work environment, but they don't so they bitch about work locally instead.
I fucking love my job. We'll just call it 'computers' because I pretty much pick up whatever I want and apply it to my work place, very large scope of work and I don't like giving out my details without a trifecta routing with no scraps browser.

I just keep downloading new movies and tv shows for the same purpose. Surprisingly it still works after 5 years of this lifestyle. I also spend a lot of time searching for good irc channels without any results.

How? Food only has to be cheap enough to be given away for free or produced yourself. It's a matter of technology or economics improving, which is bound to happen unless something goes really wrong.

Now see, this is why I hate NEETs. Or most of them, I guess. They don't realize that they've become the CEOs they hate, drawing resources from others to support themselves without doing any real work.
They have no concept of hard work because they've never worked a day in their lives. They're useless. They're children. They need to be parented.
They don't realize what it means to contribute to something, create something they love, or contribute to society because you want to uplift people. It's not about the money, and if it were up to me, I'd get rid of money altogether because all it's done is capitalize on people's innate greed. I work because I want to help people. The desire to help people is an innate human drive. While capitalism has produced great things, it has done so at the expense of generations of people slave to the almighty dollar.
People have an innate desire to help each other, but it must be drawn out by hardship like in the early days of humanity, when we lived in tribal bands. People banded together to help each other survive, and this advantage caused us to enjoy helping others.
Why do you live, NEETs? What makes your life worth living? I know most eventually grow tired of their lives or kill themselves, so that lifestyle is obviously not fulfilling. Why not find a way to help people and then follow up on that goal? It would be more rewarding than collecting autismbucks and ricing DWM.

there's a difference between 'work' and wealth creation. one can be a NEET and still generate a lot of non-financial wealth in the form of books, software, or community.
>People have an innate desire to help each other
lol, no. only good goi do this. you have an innate, inborn desire to be as selfish as possible. helping others and humanity is a cultural thing people advocate to feel good.
>Why do you live, NEETs? What makes your life worth living?
working for someone else would not make my life worth living. helping other people altruistically wouldn't either. these actually cause suffering.
perhaps you should stop telling others how to live before first understanding the underlying problem?

Did you even read my post? Humans have both selfless and selfish tendencies. Humans feel better when both are satisfied. Humans have evolved to be that way because it was the most successful survival strategy. You're not seeing through some sort of capitalist conditioning, you're just being a douche.

Listen, moron. Listen to what I am saying instead of tinting it with your NEET shades.
You work to help others and yourself. You have an innate desire to help others as well as being selfish, but it has to be cultivated. Capitalism has perverted society with greed. Ideally you don't work "for someone". You work to help them and yourself in the context of a society. Working towards that end, ideally, would lead to an overall reduction in human suffering. Again, capitalism has perverted this sort of work into helping only those at the top. Socializing wealth has a beneficial effect on society because the average worker gets more of what they put in. Additionally, with wealth evened out somewhat, we enjoy an uplift from other's wealth creation.

Forgot to post this, but:
>there's a difference between 'work' and wealth creation. one can be a NEET and still generate a lot of non-financial wealth in the form of books, software, or community.
Books and software can be sold. Are you implying that material possessions have no monetary value or can't be sold?
>>52186418
>Humans feel better when both are satisfied. Humans have evolved to be that way because it was the most successful survival strategy.
This isn't encoded in human genes, dude. You're confused about human culture and human genetics. You can frame plenty of scenarios as being an 'optimal' survival strategy for genes. The problem here is we're talking about working in modern society, which has a laughable amount of relevance to genetics.
>>52186447
>Books and software can be sold. Are you implying that material possessions have no monetary value or can't be sold?
No? My point was there are plenty of good productive things someone classified as a NEET could be doing to make a general bashing seem misdirected.
Embedded systems developer.
Kind of hard to get there on a CS program consisting of babby Java and fuckin web development courses (top 10 UK uni btw). Low level material is reduced to a minimum cause otherwise 80% of ppl would have dropped the course by now.
I do lots of low-lvl dev/harware stuff on the side, even secured an internship in embedded systems last year, but its hard to cover all the specific knowledge an EE, for example, would have.
>>52186496
how much EE do you need for the job? I enjoy doing things in C but haven't found as much interest in hardware because it tends to cost money to do things.
>>52186462
No, we have both encoded in our genes. Culture is the implementation of those encoded motives. In every society, humans help each other in some way.
>>52186482
Then you aren't truly a NEET. You're educating yourself somehow and using that education to produce something for society.
I realize there is discrepancy here - you can technically be NEET and code or produce something, but then you're technically using education or training to be productive. At that point, there is no reason to be NEET.
>>52186538
We have what encoded in our genes? Please be specific here because if you're saying culture is genetically encoded you're spreading bullshit.
> In every society, humans help each other in some way.
duh? a society that doesn't have cooperation isn't much of a society and wouldn't last very long. no kids, either. that still doesn't make it genetic. it just makes it a universally good idea for societies.
>>52186561
>I realize there is discrepancy here - you can technically be NEET and code or produce something, but then you're technically using education or training to be productive. At that point, there is no reason to be NEET.
tell that to very skilled, broke artists.
>>52186533
You need pretty strong knowledge of digital electronics. Otherwise, you end up working with a black box and that is far from comfortable. Signal processing, for example, is rarely covered in CS.
As far as analogue stuff, you are probably ok with just having a rough idea of basic concepts.
Most of the embedded systems developers I know are EE graduates desu.

>>52186584
Being NEET is not the same as receiving government assistance for not being able to support yourself. Being NEET as a means of receiving financial assistance is an artifact of a highly capitalist society.
>>52186570
Humans have both selfish and selfless tendencies encoded in our genes that are implemented by culture. Humans do not exist out of the context of society - we couldn't really be human without a society.
>>52186648
>implemented by culture
what does that even mean?
>we couldn't really be human without a society
you're playing word games using fuzzy definitions. if a society is composed of one or more humans than a human can and is independent of what comprises a society.
>>52186684
>implemented by culture
>what does that even mean?
Humans act on their selfless and selfish desires to create a society.
>we couldn't really be human without a society
>you're playing word games using fuzzy definitions. if a society is composed of one or more humans than a human can and is independent of what comprises a society.
I thought it was implied that society is composed of more than one human, ideally enough to reap the benefits of socialized wealth creation. You're the one that's playing word games without realizing it.

I'm slaving myself out for the minimal wage, but I really want to become a heli pilot. The pilot training programs are expensive though, I consider finding a better job to save more money.
>>52186418
From my experience it's not even about helping people. It feels good to be independent and to earn your own money and then spend it on whatever you want, and to also be part of a collaborative group/business all striving to achieve something, it's just a good feeling.
I thought I'd never get a job and when I finally got one psychologically it changed me, I felt way more confident about life in general and my life felt structured and organized. And the weekends ended up being something I looked forward to aswell, when you're not working you just feel apathetic all of the time and the days just blend into each other. Time feels like it slips away.
I also enjoy trying to do a professional job, being excellent at whatever is my chosen profession or assignment.
I will admit though, I do dislike repetitious work unless there is some kind of pressure or deadline applied so it actually gets the adrenaline going, I also feel like 8 hours a day is way too much. 4 hours seems far more sane. People start becoming unproductive after around 4 or 5 hours anyway.
