every major is shit
every job requires too much work for too little pay
there is no possible way to succeed in life unless you work hard and that is the ONE thing I do not want to do
>>28345276
You're in luck, OP. Working hard is the one way to guarantee you will NEVER have money. The only people who become rich are lazy, worthless, sociopathic scumbags who learn how to parasitize others. We have created an entire culture ruled by and for the benefit of an entire class of parasites.
>>28345276
oh yeah, do i know the feel.
gosh golly you sound just like me
THIS
god I am a lazy piece of shit and I have no motivation to change
I envy those who were born into wealth and whose lives have basically been constant parties from birth
i was thinking about this today, and i find it interesting. it seems like in my parents generation, unless you were a complete retard and total failure, you were almost guaranteed a good job, a wife, a house, etc. like if you didnt have those things by age 25, there was something wrong with you. isnt that crazy? things have changed really drastically. people were willing to work hard back then because they knew those things would be obtainable. but in todays society, its almost pointless to work hard because theres no way to afford a house or get a really good paying job
>>28345319
See, I have no problem with "sacrificing" my morals to become rich, I don't care if I fuck people over
but what you said isnt true, rich people have a combination of a hard working AND parasitic attitude which allows them to be successful
just one is not enough
>>28345388
I was born into wealth (doctor's son), and I grew up just north of Miami, so the first 18 years of my life were basically constant beach/pool parties. But if it makes you feel any better, everything went to shit after that and I'll be joining all the other losers in the lower class very soon.

not only that, but if you were smart back then it was downright easy to become not just successful but VERY successful. All of my relatives are super successful, a lot are in the 1%, and there is literally NO way I could ever see being as successful as they are. Either they had a MUCH better work ethic and drive than I do... which is probably true.... or the system just was better back then, which is probably also true. nowadays everything is fucked

My father is a Boomer and he tells stories about how recruiters used to sneak into his highschool and bribe kids with big wads of cash to drop out because they needed blue collar workers in factories so badly. You could get a middle-class income with full benefits and retirement without even finishing highschool.
Then he goes on to say that kids today are just lazy, that anyone can have a good job and get ahead if they put their nose to the grindstone and buckle down and work hard and put in a fair day's work for a fair day's pay. And that all you need to get a job is to walk down the street and look for "help wanted" signs, then walk in and say you're a hard worker and ready to roll up your sleeves. You'll be hired on the spot.
Boomers are all delusional.
>>28345276
Becoming rich is not even worth it. You'll still be an autistic khv, unless you score meaningless pussy from gold diggers. Just make enough to live off of and try to focus on self improvement. Way better strategy to improve your life. Be a liberal arts major or major in some broad category like conputer science, math, biology, etc, because then a wide enough spectrum of jobs will be available to you once you get out of college. If you lose your spaguetti in one interview, you will have 100 more possible jobs waiting for you.

This is what I don't get.
If machines are replacing factory workers then sure it makes some people lose their jobs but also boosts the economy, right? If we can replace all simple jobs with machines then even a complete retard and total failure should be able to live in leisure, right?
Then why does it seem like we're only getting more and more jewed every year?

I can work hard. It's the 2 hour commutes, the endless socializing, the steady sleep schedule where I can't spend all night to myself awake, and constant fear of getting fired over trivial shit that has kept me from working for 20 years.

High GPA usually translates to people having advance knowledge of test material through frats or TA mafias or having an eidetic memory. School is a joke. Only in the higher levels when you can do original research would it start to get interesting.
>>28345903
Since 1970, average worker productivity has *quadrupled*. Yet real standard of living after inflation has *declined* since 1970. Why? Because a tiny number of very, very, very rich people are sucking up ALL the wealth. To give you some idea of how much money we're talking about, more than 80% of all the money transactions on the planet take place solely in computers, between computers. Everything that you and I think of as the economy, all the "stuff," makes up less than 20% of the wealth.
Did you know there are a record number of billionaires? Did you know that they're SOLD OUT of luxuries? Every shipyard on Earth capable of building yachts, for example, currently has a backlog of up to 7 years. You cannot by a high-end Rolls anywhere in Europe. They simply aren't for sale. Sold out. Mansions, castles, luxury condos, small tropical islands, they're all sold out. The billionaires have bought EVERYTHING. Now they're just racking up zeroes in their bank accounts.

No, there will be a correction when enough people get desperate enough. Some of the smarter billionaires, people like Warren Buffet and Bill Gates, have been warning that the rich have taken too much, too quickly.
> "People who feel the world is tilted against them will spawn the kind of hatred that is very dangerous for all of us." -- Bill Gates
They're trying to convince governments to raise tax rates on the super-rich. Unfortunately for them, there are too many stupid billionaires as a result of inheritance who refuse to give up any of their stolen wealth. The correction will come with an ocean of blood and horror, as it always does. But it WILL come.

His view is that getting wealthy is like surfing, you have to luck to be positioned correctly to ride the right wave.
The males benefiting now are the ones who are the most agressive and sociopathic. Their advantage is likely only to increase as things get more and more fucked up. The docile maile is getting ostracized and bred out of existance.

That's retarded. The only factories around where I live will only hire you on recommendation from somebody who already works for the company. Why should they be so exclusive for a job where you work 60 hour weeks because they don't have enough employees and then only pay them. $15/Hr which is lower than minimum wage in other states?
>>28347982
No, he's right. The leisurely rich guys are all property owners or co own bars and cafes and it's a license to print money. Meanwhile, the regimented workers with a degree and some certs work 64hr weeks and will be 90 before they can even touch retirement.

Let me tell you about my best friend's dad
>when we were really littll,e 3-5 years old, he was a computer tech doing warranty work where he'd work 40 hours in an office and then freelance after hours and weekends
>When we were 5 he went entirely freelance and worked 60-70 hours a week, driving all over, but was starting to make decent money when there was a recession and he had no work. He had to sell his car to keep his house before he could find a job
>He got a job in a call center and worked there for 6 months before being a shift leader and another 6 months to become manager
>He worked Friday through Monday, 12 hours a day. He freelanced the rest of the time, too, to build up his savings again
>He started his own reselling company. On the phone at 7:30 to 5:30 making about 120 calls a day Monday through Wednesday, then meetings and training the rest of the time with followup. Also did service work
>Was doing well until a client sued him for $1 million claiming he gave them bad advice

>He had spent so much time in court he lost most of his clients

Lazy bastards.
My plan is simple:
Work as much as I can and get my spending down to where I am saving at least a thousand a month.
Get credit up to as far over 700 I can go.
When I have 20-30k I want to take a house loan out on a foreclosure in a college town.
I plan to go into this with friends if possible.
Going to build extra bedrooms in the basement or wherever else I can to maximize profit. But I want each room to be cozy enough to support a college student and his/her needs.
Ammenities would include shit like flatscreens in each room (won't be removeable), cable, internet, etc...
I'd want at least four to six people in the house depending on size of house and original price paid. Rent is 200-350$ per person depending on what's included and the house size.
Rooms are private, same-sex buildings only, rest of house is shared commons.
I might even do something where I build an extra room into each house (dry walling isn't that hard once you do it the first time) and have someone be the house "manager" where this person essentially gets free rent but must be in charge of the house rules and making sure things go smoothly. I'd use them as my medium to ensure what ground rules are being enforced and that people are happy and safe.
I'd continue working while this is going on especially if I have help from friends and then upgrade to a second house ASAP.

>My friend and I are 12 by this time and he and his family live very simply; no vacations, clothes from goodwill and consignment stores; mom makes all of their food from scratch; only the dad has a cell phone and it is for work; no cable, just movies from the $1 bin; one present on birthdays, one on Christmas, none more than $20; parents don't get presents, etc.
>His dad works as a sales engineer - flying to client meetings 2-4 times a week, 5 am calls with European clients, 7 pm calls with Pacific clients, usually flying home on Saturday and doing paperwork

>Transitions to the sales team as a salesman

I mean when my dad got out of college in the 80s a degree got you a job that paid around 40k, and that was ANY college degree. Not to mention all the 1 and 2-year programs that were available. Now if you get a degree an anything besides medicine, accounting, law, or engineering you are basically dicked. Except now you really need a masters to get anything decent, and the average is still like 50k starting. Healthcare, tuition, and fuel have quintupled or more. Oh annnnd we now have to compete in a global marketplace with women, asians, blacks, indians, and other "minorities" who all have special programs to ensure they have a better shot at reaching their goals.
