Who /wageslave/ here? How old are you and how much longer do you think you can keep going before killing yourself?

I am 25 working at a car dealership for $9/hr. I don't want to be alive anymore. It doesn't help that I am very sexually frustrated and don't know how to hold a conversation with women. It just makes me hate life even more than my shit job.

25 here, working at a hotel for 9/hr, losing all hope with women and my future. I don't wish to be NEET though, I don't mind work that much. At least it gets me out of the house and forces me to talk to people. But you're not the only one frustrated OP, I'm in the same boat.

19, I work at Walgreens and I actually kind of love my job. My managers are all really cool, they love the hell out of me because I actually do my job well. Most of my coworkers are pretty okay, they're nice and all but they leave half of their shit for me to clean up it seems. But at least cleaning up after them gives me an excuse to interact with customers less and helps time pass by faster. The pay is not that great, but it's alright, I'm going to get a raise soon. My mom is okay with me never moving out as long as I pay a bit of rent, and this job is more than enough for that. If I get promoted to supervisor, eventually assistant manager in training, and so on and so fourth until I hit a wall at possibly store manager, I can see myself doing this until I save enough to retire. I honestly like it. Maybe life has broken me enough to accept this, but meh, it's better than attempting and dropping out of college again.

Life is just shit in general, especially if you're a millennial. We are spoiled as fuck. Even when I am willing to put good work in I think I spend more time imagining myself doing it in spectacular ways than ever accomplishing anything. My dad was the same way though before he bought some hair salon and became his own boss. I think small business is the direction I'll go when my body stops being retarded I guess.

I'm come to the conclusion that in life their are winners and losers, everyone flocks to the winners and the losers kind of just float around. The main reason I don't off myself is because it would devastate my parents and I've already put them through enough.

After they die I'll probably quit whatever mundane yet "safe" existence I have built up and start moving pounds of dope across the border. I'll either become a successful drug lord (My True Passion and Dream) or I'll die in the process and my sister will just have to deal with it.

Get paid barely above minimum wage and the job stresses me out. I'd like to quit, and might survive around a year or more with what I've saved. But then what? It's back to slaving away.

I have a little fantasy where I quit, and in that year, I start up some kind of online business, or write a book or something, and start making money independently. But that wouldn't actually happen.

I work as a busboy at a breakfast diner. I make $8 an hour plus tips. I actually make more money then my last job that was paying me $11.34 but thats only because this job is full time.

I live in Florida and right now its the busy season because everyone from the north(people from PA, NY, Canada etc etc) all come down to escape the cold weather. Once winter ends and the weather warms up they all fuck off back to the north so by the end of April I'll need to find another job. Was considering joining the navy but my mom talked me out of it because she thinks its only because I'm panicking and need to find something to do with myself soon. And once I actually thought about it I guess she was right.

Gonna get my Certified Nursing Assistant License pretty soon so I'll something to work for. Don't wanna go on and on about unrelated shit but it'll help me move back to Philadelphia to live with my mom again.

30 years old, been NEET for almost two years and it's a purgatory/hell. Used to work fast food before and while that was also frustrating and stressful it was at least exciting and I made money.

I know what to do for a career but I need a new computer and a whole bunch of expensive hardware, so I'll have to wagecuck for another couple of years.

My ideal wagecuck job would seriously be scrubbing toilets and other type of janitorial work. No soccer moms with "problem glasses" asking to talk to the manager, no homeless people wandering in to scream in the toilets, no angry cuck dads who don't understand how coupons and the menu works, just clean and dirty.

On weekends in the fall I usually supplement my wage slavery with soccer refereeing. That shit pays pretty well, like I'll earn $45-50 for working a game for an hour and a half, so I do 4-5 games in a day and make $200

A few times a year they have tournaments where they pack like 8 games into each day and I literally make $600-700 for a weekend.

Sure I run 30 miles but it's worth it because you get paid to make people angry

LVN(or LPN as we call it in my state) requires a lot of schooling. Like two years I believe but I could be wrong. I need some sort of certification for some kind of job pretty soon so I don't fall into a depression again and end up making a stupid decision like joining the navy.

I want a job where I can save lives. Thats all I ever wanted to do, was to save lives. At first I was kind of set on being a combat medic for the army but I don't think I'm made for something like that. Too beta. I actually had a friend that became a RN and he hates it. I don't want to be working at the same place for the rest of my life. I want something new and exciting. I just wanna save lives anon.

Depends on the availability of jobs. Sometimes 3 - 4 hours, sometimes 5 - 8 hours.

And sometimes there's nothing at all. Some turkers apparently make enough to live on which I find hard to believe, but I'd like to think I'll come somewhat close to that one day.

Probably won't, but whatever I want to stay minimalist.

If you hate your job then move into a cheap room, minimize your expenses, save up for a few years and then quit into something less stressful.
You could probably do something law related part time even right?

first few months by getting high, playing video games and watching anime as well as shitposting on 4chan.

The rest of that time, being sober and doing all of those same things.

I couldn't be a NEET. I tried living off my savings for a couple months after I got fired from my last job. All I did was drink and play vidya. It was even more depressing than my life as a wage slave. Eventually I just applied and got the job I have now. Ironically I work even harder now because I know the NEET life just isn't for me.mi need something to take my mind off what a pathetic failure of a human I am, and work does that. Nice idea though. You a NEET? I'd like to know how people make that work without wanting to kill themselves from boredom.

Yea I had no idea what I was getting in to. Basically there are three kinds of lawyers. Smart alphas who run everything, dumb chads who use their social skills to get ahead and beta fuck ups who get used for billing purposes for the other two classes. Obviously I'm in the third class, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. Stay the fuck away from this profession. I'd quit but I have so much student loan debt I can't do anything else that would pay enough to sustain it.

Trust me, having a net worth of 0 is a blessing in a way. If I were to blow all of my savings that I amassed over 10 years just to pay off my loans I'd still be about 5k in debt.

I'm not bitter about it like those Bernie fags though. I was the sucker who took out student loans for law school, so I'm obliged to pay them back. Other people shouldn't have to pay for my dumb ass student loan decisions. I fucking hate those entitled Bernie fucks who think everything should be free.

>Socialfags will always have a good time no matter how poor. They will always find a way.
>Socialautistfags are just permafucked no matter what

100% the truth. No matter how much money we aspies make, no matter if we're a lawyer, a doctor, an engineer, an accountant, no matter how much schooling we get or how rich/poor we are, we will always be miserable. That's why so many of us end up as wageslaves in shitty dead end jobs, because we'll end up the same no matter what we do.

Even our fellow coworkers at these dead end jobs are happier because they have friends/family/girlfriends
>>
>>26940044
Pretty much. I've lived in a few different places in an attempt to run from myself.
One thing you can run from are the burdening perceptions that your friends (implying) and family have of you, which heavily influence your behavior.
>>
>>26939901
Basically, partners get a share of all the net business, while associates only get a salary.

The partners bill the clients a set hourly rate for all of the work that the associates do. So while they're charging the clients $450 an hour for all the work I do, they only pay me a fraction of that. So while I'm making a salary, the partners get the actual hourly rate. And since they're paid like that, they pressure you to work 10-12 hours a day. There's no overtime though. You just get whatever your salary is, while they get the hourly rate.

Then they put you against your peers (other associates), and make sure you're all competing to bill the most hours, while they hold the carrot of partnership above you to motivate you.

While making 120k a year sounds nice on paper, when I added up my hours last year I made them over 600k in the hours I billed.

So Mr. Shacklestein just made about 500k off me, and I see none of that. Make sense?
>>
>>26940137
Being manipulated by probably sociopathic Chads to compete with other associates for who can make Shekelstein the most money with the threat of being fired and unable to pay off a crippling debt, which correct me if I'm wrong is un-defaultable?
Damn, I take it back, that does sound horrible.

I've been reading up on social psychology and marketing in order to gain social skills. It hasn't worked but all social scientists agree with that, it's been proven that quality human relationships are the ultimate key to happiness.

And it makes sense, even if you don't live in a mansion, living in a modern first world country with readily available food, shelter, Internet etc. is the equivalent of being fabulously wealthy on an international scale.
>>
>>26940292
Exactly. The Chad and Stacy associates who can charm or fuck their way into making partner faster than the other associates are the real winners.

They work as wageslave associates for a while, then because of their Chad and Stacy influence over people they can become partners quicker and then they start to get all the money us pathetic loser wageslaves associates are making the firm.

Once in a while you'll find a really intelligent Chad or Stacy who can work their charm on clients and add a high level of intelligence to it because they're alphas. They become what's called equity partners, and they get to set the terms with the clients and take the biggest shares. That's basically what it's like being a lawyer. If you're a fucking robot you don't stand a chance. My biggest regret in life is going to law school.

At work now, $9.25/hour, but it's night and 12 hr shifts so despite practically working for free I love it. I'm currently writing a care plan for nursing. Once I graduate I'll be doing the same thing except paid 3 times as much. I'll get my bachelors while working nights in chemical dependency then hopefully get a real nursing job doing critical care, preferably cardiac, but I'll take anything, even step-down or pacu. I want that ccrn and cmc so I can be anesthetitist, cardiac np, or acute care np. That's where the real money is. 3 days a week, cool sounding title, and 90 to 150k depending on which programs accept me.

It's pretty rad pulling $600-$700/week at 21 while everyone else your age is making sandwiches at the local deli for minimum wage. But what also sucks is the sun like you mentioned. Digging holes and mixing cement is tiring enough as it is but when its 88 with a heat index of 104 and 98% humidity it just drains the energy out of you. If you're not in school at all and you're in decent enough shape to handle working 10-12 hours a day every day then I say go for it. I have like 2 friends and no gf so it's not like I'm missing out on any social activities or dates working so much and seeing as you're on this board too your social circle is likely similar.

Its an associates for basic RN, but there are prerequisites, usually A&P, chemistry, biology, and microbiology. Of course most hospitals are switching to only hiring bachelor's nurses so if you want a good job you usually complete an rn to bsn program after ADN which is one year plus the usual bullshit fluff for bachelor's like literature and underwater basket weaving mixed with a few useful classes like statistics or more chemistry electives.

Maybe I can get /b/tards to send me the money to kill myself if I set up my webcam and let them watch or something. Pick related, I think it'd be like 150-ish bucks after shipping costs and stuff. Final exit recommends two tanks instead one of them fails, as well.

I'm 26 and I make $27/hr as a software architect.
>inb4 shit-tier money
Not here it ain't. That rate (plus overtime) puts me in the top 15% earners in the country.

I think I need to get out of here though, I can barely break $55k here despite extremely high costs of living.

Welcome to the shitty part of Europe.

Associate lawyer here. Like my job and make decent enough, but it's still 12 hours a day of work, plus needing to be constantly studying new shit when at home.

Thankfully I have very little debt and am going to begin my own firm in an year or two.
>>
33 currently make around $60/hr working 3-6 month contracts.

I don't mind it. I'm a little burned out and considering a change, but day to day it's ok. My overall happiness has a lot to do with the team I working with at the time. The last contract; it was a lot of younger people. The stand up meetings would be crass and funny. We'd get blind drink together most Friday nights. Was good. Other times its mostly bitchy old asshole and it's lame.

It can be stressful and I definitely enjoy my time off, but I'm infinitely happier than I was when I was an unemployed bum making excuses why I couldn't/didn't do anything.

Some of them are in countries where the cost of living is minimal, so $20 USD a day can take care of all your necessities.

Just guessing, but there are probably also others that are smart enough to write assistive bots, but not get caught.

It's kind of like being a Chinese Gold Farmer in an MMO, I guess.

Not that anon, but 150k is on the elite high-end so possible, but he probably won't get that much. You can still get quite a bit while getting the 3 day workweek though -- what he doesn't mention is that it will be less likely a cushy CRNA job, and more likely grueling white-knuckle overnight shifts in the ICU managing unstable patients who might crump at any moment.

practice the common questions like

remember not to get caught on the weakness question as you can say something like "I'd say doing X is a weakness of mine however i am currently investing time and trying to learn more about it at the moment"

You do ccrn before crna school but after that you find a job at a rural hospital with no anesthesiologist. You don't start at 150k but you get there with experience. That's average, it tops out around $220k. I'll be happy with average cushy crna gig. After I do my time in medsurg and icu I want to do babby shit like lidocaine for stitches or general anesthesia for ortho shit.

seriously hope your pay is good cause i'd be leaving after 2 years without a promotion at the minimum.

Apply outside your city if need be. You need to leave that place as its a toxic cancer.

Its not that the job is bad. Its that all my leisure time has a faint and ever existent anxiety. I know I will have to go to work again. And again. It will never end. I get home and I try to enjoy myself, and I do, but I just wish that anxiety wasn't there.

I just started a job as a media designer. I'm getting paid to make stuff with Photoshop. I'm not getting paid a ton ($13/h) but it's more than I was making before. It doesn't really even feel like I'm working. It feels like I'm just screwing around all day on the computer. This is after having worked four years in retail.

I don't care if I'm a wage slave. I'm getting paid to do stuff I would have spent my whole day doing anyway.

Thought as much.

>>26938684
After being treated like shit literally the whole time I was there (by staff, management and customers) I lost it and left three hours into a twelve hour shift.
Was only meant to be eight hours, but for about the tenth time they changed the rota on the day, didn't tell or ask me and refused to hear my excuses that I couldn't stay that long.
I also knocked over a display on my way out.

Made about 1500 Eurobucks last month with professional automated gambling. The software took about 200 hours to build and improve. Now working about 1-2 hours a day monitoring and improving the software.

It's better than being broke but
*) I can hardly put it on my CV. Will probably put "freelance" and "investment".
*) Legal gray area in my country. There are law decisions either way. The most recent ruled it legal.
*) Can't tell anyone about it IRL. People get jealous easily.

I'll keeping doing this as long as it still works. Could be over tomorrow.

33 field service engineer
80-100k a year depending on projects and travel
Just got back from 2 weeks in South Korea
Live comfortably, have the car of my dreams, work out of my house, my boss and HQ is literally across the country.

I have no project next week so I sit around on my ass and get paid for a 40 hour week. Yes I get paid "general time" 40 hours for literally not working.

No college debt did 6 years in the navy to pay for my education. Divorced, no kids. 22 year old gf in medical school.

There is this idea that all wage cucks have shit jobs working like slaves for 10 bucks an hour. You people need to realize what exists out there for good men with education and social skills. Yes I got lucky with this gig. But I am sure I could find another one similar if I had to.

Steer clear of game development and PHP web development. The former demands insane hours, the latter is paid badly and you will have to deal with a lot of shit code.

Linux system administration is a relatively easy way to enter. You can get LPI certificates cheap at Open Source conventions. Java development is also always in demand. Don't let /dpt/ autists deter you from Java.

Thanks man. I wasn't really sure where to start, but you've given me a couple of ideas.

I have three jobs I split my time with

One is a super easy job at an art gallery where I just open the place, sit there the whole time watching the gallery, and greet people who come in and answer any questions they have. Pays $10/hr and I usually work 5-10 hrs/week depending on my free time

The second one is a job at a local art supplies shop. It's pretty chill and I only have to do light work like restocking shit, price marking, and general cashier stuff. Pays 8.15/hr and I only work 6hrs/week

Now, the third job is the one that is killing my soul. It's at a Starbucks inside a hall at my uni. Now, a normal Starbucks barista job isn't the worst job in the world since they get good tips, many benefits and a wage above the state minimum. But that's only for someone who works at a corporate run store. The Starbucks I work at is a licensed store owned by my uni. So basically, I do all the complete shit work normal baristas do (make complicated drinks, close/open the store, try and act nice to some of the most insufferable people on earth), but I only get paid minimum wage (8.15/hr) + no tips. Really. The university doesn't allow tips, only "donation jars" for whatever charity of the month were benefiting. Also, I only get shifts where the place is constantly packed. Like, 70 people out the door packed. We're easily the busiest Starbucks in the area since we're located right across from some of the biggest lecture halls on campus, and they have classes roughly every two hours from 8-3 everyday. Needless to say, even working a short 3 hour shift leaves me drained of any sort of energy I had. This job also takes up most of my time, around 12-17 hours a week depending on how many bitches call in "sick".

I could write a book on how much I hate this Starbucks job. I don't know why I put up with it since it pays so little. I think I may quit by the end of the semester and try to get more hours out of the art gallery

yea yeah who are you trying to fool? you brainwashed goy.

As if you can go where you want and do what you want on welfare. Maybe if your life goals are go to Pizza Hut and GameStop.

Please explain how you will go to Fiji on welfare. Or to base camp at Everest for a photo safari. How do you plan on walking the streets of various exotic locales, if your nigger welfare for a month doesn't even cover the plane ticket?

Being stuck in a minimum wage job is the same exact thing as being neet. Freedom can only be obtained through large liquid assets, when choice is no longer restrained by cost.

Lol it's just so ironic. You literally imply you can go wherever you want, with no more than welfare to pay for it. You must have quite an exciting life if your pathetic welfare is able to satisfy all of those things for you.

Some people desire to go further than the strip mall by the bus stop you pathetic peasant.
