only jobs that i can realistically get in my area are part time with bullshit pay, nobody hires full time anymore just a bunch of part time people.
I'm thinking i would need to work 4 part time jobs to afford a piece of shit apartment.

Student loans are fucking bullshit. If I wasn't good enough to go to college, I shouldn't have been given a loan.

I blame federally guaranteed loans first and foremost. What a fucking bullshit system. All it functions as is a massive subsidy to a bloated university system.

Really, the only thing I learned in university was how richly fucked and tricked I'd been.

You fell for the illusion normies and wagecucks fall for.

College is useless unless you want to be a wagecuck, plain and simple. People go to college to 'get a job' aka 'doing someone else's bidding for less money than they make.'

Skills aren't difficult to obtain man, you watch a couple of youtube tutorials and you have a new skill in less than a day.

Either way you only have 4 options here:
>kill self (always gotta have this option)
>accept your inner wagecuck
>Get some skills and become self employed
>become a NEET.

I have no idea what my real title is in english, but my work is basicly IT help desk combined with responsibilities about the teams functionality. I get paid way more than help desk boys do but I also work my ass off.

My typical day is starting from 8 to answer every fucking stupid question co-workers have because I (or the other guy with same title) pretty much have to sign everything that is happening unless it is someone telling someone to plug it on and off again. After we finally get everyone on their way to fix shit (or fuck it up even more) me and couple of guys answer calls and organize who is going to be going where next. Only when shit gets completly out of hand I go on field too, which is like once a month. Those are the good days in my opinion, not locked in office but doing stuff around the city.

I'm somewhat popular when it comes to hentai commissions, atleast I also get japanese customers. I usually spend 1-1,5 weeks of a month on the next big memefest, which would be FEFates right now, you get so much money out of it, people, which are part of autistic fandoms are always paying topdollar. The rest of the month I spend on my own projects and other commissions. I think it was mostly luck to get to this stage.

No you gotta be very popular to charge enough money to make a decent living off commissions. There are plenty of ways to make easy money though, you just gotta be a total scumbag. Like those people who steal game models and mod vaginas on them. Or make SFM porn. 0 effort, loadsemone. Not that I do any of that, I have too much integrity.

I kind of hate you faggots for getting these "jobs" so easily. I don't even know how wagecucks get hired, I've tried applying to millions of jobs and I never had any luck and was basically forced to become a wholesale ebay seller and vidya elo booster to keep a roof over my head.

I would probably work a literal garbage job (garbage or sewage or something) before working a figurative garbage job that isn't important and only acts as a detriment to society, like fast food.

They tell you that it teaches you desirable skills that employers value like critical thinking, research and technical writing, but the only employers who want history degrees want it for something related to academia/teaching. I know three other history grads who are employed with real jobs. One is teaching history at a Catholic high school, one is a technical writer for some textbook manufacturer and the other is pursuing a PhD to become a professor.

I won't even bother to apply to jobs where the hiring entity won't let me email them things, requires a lengthy application with my resume and cover letter, or that asks for supplemental questions whatsoever anymore.

I'm probably just going to be jobless forever; my life probably won't end up that much worse than my wagecuck cousins anyway.

>>26571297
Well, I'm an indie game dev. So art is just a small part of my work. I don't see myself going down the professional artist path. I definitely have the skills to take 3d models and alter them, but I wouldn't steal other people's work like that. Just was wondering how you guys do it.

You just have to pander a new big meme audience, people pay so much for crazy fetishs, when it comes to that, some of the commissions also makes you chuckle.
I said that I wouldn't do any undertale stuff and people still wrote me requests, but were willing to pay 500$ etc. for one image. It is insane how much money these people have to spend.

>>26571297

There are plenty of jobs where a history degree would help, but it would never be a deal breaker. Say, entry level consultancy jobs. They hire lots of historians. They just expect those historians to also have a history of community involvement, "leadership" and volunteering.

It also matter how you write your cover letter. If it is an honest, polite piece, good luck. It needs to be border line arrogant and aggressive. It's disgusting, but that's how the job market works. It's like dating -- people who lie about what they want try to match with people who lie about what they're offering. So if you suck at dating, you will suck at landing a job.

>>
>>26572174
>>26571884

Honestly, it's an almost worthless degree.

I don't mean that academically; just economically. Most degrees were never meant to be job-getting tools. They were fun, enriching things for wealthy kids to do before assuming positions in the upper parts of society.
