Why do NEET's think the only two "wageslave" jobs are either working at McDonalds or being an accountant? And that everyone must hate their jobs? I can only accurately comment on my own circumstances but I get paid $19 US an hour and only work 3 days a week at a pet store without having had any prior experience or special skills. I'm required to do borderline nothing, and there's a computer there with internet so I just shitpost most of the time, serve maybe 10 customers over my 8 hour day. Just with spare change this year after bills and such I'm travelling for 2 months in a couple of weeks. Never have a problem affording anything I want given there's nothing that unreasonable. How is this so unachievable or undesirable for NEETS? And I'm confident most working people on here have it even better/earn more. Where is the problem in this?
Sounds like you got it good OP, congrats.

Thanks anon, you comfy? I'm comfy

I am very comfy, friend. Hot coffee and wrapped up in my blanky. Cold and grey outside. Have a bit if a cold, but it just adds to the comfiness.
So where you gonna be travelling?
>>24635966
I'm from Australia, heading to US after Christmas. Gonna do New York, Washington, Colorado, California and a couple of other stops around the place. Should be super comfy in the winter time.

>$19 US an hour

I don't believe you.
I'm a specialist programmer. I get paid handsomely and can shitpost from work. Pretty comfy.

M8, we're Australian. My cousin made AU$120,000 last year driving a fucking forklift. I make US$46,000 just in fucking uni scholarships - my first year of uni I worked out I was getting paid AU$88/hour spent at uni
Cost of living's high as fuck but it's nice when we go overseas.

Its 5 am there are no US posters on
>>24636479
I am a US poster, but I don't have a job so...
>>24635899
What a fucking shitty office
Hyperboles.
Should I become a freelance translator or a freelance programmer? Either way never being a wageslave. I know some Chinese and took an intro to programming course, so I'm pretty much starting from basics with either profession. I want to chose the one with the biggest amount of mobility (literally. Like i want to move to vietnam one day and then say fuck it let's check out mongolia the next)

Im a U.S. poster m8

>>24636788
If you enjoy programming and money then programming
if not translator
>>24636839
not sure yet. I definitely like learning about politics and history and why the fuck Chinese people are so fucking stupid, so maybe translation as a career would expose me to that forever.

5 am Usposter here anon; don't understimate people with fucked up sleep schedules.
>tfw waiting for the final hour before I have to go to class to finish my already late essay

Do you think you are as free as us neet gods?
Here is a story to read for you !
6:31 here in NY bout to watch futurama im so comfy nigga but i ran out of weed

He's australian. They have high minimum wages and "free" healthcare. You need to keep in mind that there's no free lunch. They make it up through taxes and higher cost of living. For example, they have to pay like 50 bucks for a case of beer. 10 bucks for a pound of chicken, 90 dollars for a new release game, 8+ for a gallon of gasoline etc etc.
So before any US retard gets jelly. Understand that our purchasing power are pretty much the same if not lower (I can't be bothered to check right now). Meaning they don't get much more for their dollar in their own country than we do.

There's a big difference between having a great job that you actually enjoy and get enriched by and being a wageslave cuccboi
Service industry and low level accounting or cubicle jobs are fucking soul crushing and generally offer no chance of career advancement, hence the "slave" in wageslave
>>24636788
There's no money in translation unless it's scholastic, and even then, your main source of income will be as a Professor.
As for freelance programming, that's a little better, but not by much. You'll be competing with people living in countries where the average salary is $200 a month.

Cunt we get much less from a dollarydoo than you get from your dollar, US prices are pretty in line with your earnings senpai
The average price of a house is about 900,000 dollars unless you want to live 25+ km from an urban center in some shitty satellite suburb
>>24635899
i actually believe this isn't b8, and now i have to ask you, why did you bother making this thread? what do you hope to accomplish?
>>24637553
Kek living in inner city's with all the muds, Africans and I Indians.

Our taxes are almost always lower than what you guys pay (depends on state, income bracket etc but usually lower)
And converting prices into US$ for you
>>3.20 for a lb of chicken
>>$30 for 24 bottles of Heineken, $20 for 30 cans of the cheap beer. $7 for 4L of piss-awful wine in a bag
>>60 for new game
>>4.5 for a gallon of petrol
Expensive - but not as bad as you made it sound. I mean, what are y'all paying for that?
