be NEET:
>have no money
>have all the time in the world to play vidya
get job:
>have more money than i know what to spend it on
>work 10 hours a day 6 days of the week
>no time or too tired for vidya
why there is no balance between the two
i wanna work and make money but also dont become a wageslave with non free time to play my vidya
life is suffering
>tfw working in a job where I only need to work 2 days in a week
>tfw still get paid as much as the usual wageslave
Get a part time job. Why work ten hours a day unless you need to?
own a shop
>>335364961
Well if you have a place to stay already, preferably free, You can always do a call center job. All you need is your computer and a home phone. My younger brother plays dark souls 3 at the same time while working. You just take orders and fill them in.
>why there is no balance between the two
Ever thought about getting a job where you don't work 60 hours a week?
>>335365086
What do you do, then?
>>335365162
Scat porn
lol
i alternate between working 15 and 11 hours a day
one day off a week
i still find time to play games
you're sleeping too much
Here and now, I want to burst the bubble of you jobfags.
If you don't find time for vidya even with a job, then you are not a real videogame enthusiast.
There, I said it.
Who 'graveyard shift' here?
Literally paid to exist in a room for 40 hours a week
>>335364961
>why there is no balance between the two
There is, it's called being an intelligent person with a decent job.
>>335365137
Working any less doesn't get enough money to pay the bills.
>>335364961
>working 6 10 hour days
Are you working 2 jobs or what because that shits kinda illegal yo'
-get gf

-work part time and still have easily enough money for hobbies and groceries
It's really that easy.

Work part time.
>30k a year job
>sit in an office on the pc doing HR work
>my boss is a nice lady and I don't dislike a single person I work with
feels gud to have a comfy job. i'll get a 2-3% raise each year, and have the chance to take the HR directors spot if I'm there for about 4-5 years and she wants to retire. She makes 80k/year.
Anyway, that's what I'm working towards. If I don't get her job, I'm sure I can find something else by then.
>>335365623
Depends on where you work.I sleep or play vidya at work mostly.
>>335365380
>have own place with own car and enough for groceries and other stuff
but still no gf

>>335365561

Other than the fact that I don't have any particularly great plans for my future, shit's pretty chill.

>>335365762
>EMT spends most of his time at the job being useless
I feel like this this says a lot about something important
>>335365561
It's all about routine, friend.
You feel like shit with any less than 7 hours because you're so used to it. I was the same, so I slowly started cutting down the hours I slept, eventually I got the the point where I could go 16 hours awake without feeling tired, 18-20 hours before I felt really tired, all on 5 hours of sleep a night. It took me about a month to get to this point though.
>>335365294
Then how come;
>have more money than i know what to spend it on
Sounds like there's wiggle room there. Hell I only work 30 hours a week and I still put $250 a month into savings.
>Work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week
>Still have plenty of time for vidya
What do you faggots do that takes up so much of your free time?! Being totally truthful here, if you can't sustain a job and keep yourself entertained you need to harden the fuck up doughboy

Night Security here, I draw and play vidya all night, and just have to put them away for the last hour when people show up. My boss even knows, and encourages it as long as it keeps me awake and alert.
>>335365205
Sign me up.
>>335365931
It maybe says something about where he lives, to be honest.
Here in Iceland, people suffer maybe like 2-10 life threatening injuries a month (maybe even less), and if EMTs aren't off ferrying soon-to-be-dead people, they're usually just picking up some dumbass that broke his leg.
As a result, I can imagine there being a lot of downtime.
>>335364961
get a better job faggot
>Not working through the winter, getting mad dosh for the summer when you just kick back and do whatever you want with the money you got
The hard part is finding an employer that wants to hire you each year for those winter months, but when you do, you're set.
>>335366129
Are night security jobs usually low key advertised or an agency type of deal?
Here inAusI've tried looking for a night security position before and couldn't find anything other than short term work that wouldn't last longer than a month.
>>335366114
See, I hate that stuff. If I'm not working, I'd rather be at home or out doing what I want instead of being stuck somewhere until my time is up. I prefer to be really busy at work.
>>335365874
I was NEET for three years. I would wake up, go online, play some games, and go to sleep. Every day I did that, and I felt like shit.
I know compared to some of you guys and your 30+ years of NEETdom, that's nothing. I didn't get autism bux, though. I got turned down.
Just save up a bunch of dosh and go part-time. That's what I did. Life is great.

>>335364961
I work IT, 10 hour work days, but I only work Monday through Thursday. Work days I'm definitely too beat to play, or I just can't stand being in front of a computer any longer. Those three days is when I do most of my gaming. I got promoted not too long ago, so I'm making $42 an hour. Thankfully I work at a place that requires high security clearance, and they're not willing to take the jobs offshore. Other IT place around town are getting cut like crazy though. Kind of scary.
I'm a NEET for health reasons. It's fun at first, but then you eventually realize what a burden you are and that everyone looks down on you.
I suppose if you're healthy, you can always change it and escape the NEET life when you want though.

I work for a call center that does customer service for AT&T. They apparently REQUIRE some kind of security on their sites to keep their customer's information safe. Even the day shift is essentially over glorified secretaries.

Last year I went on a trip to Japan for a month, heading from Okinawa up to Hokaido. This year me and three buddies are going on a surf trip to Australia, and I've started kayaking as a hobby too.
Plus sometimes I just vegitate for days playing vidya in my pajamas, just because I can.
Being a teacher in a country that pays us well is seriously the best lifestyle I could ask for, short of being a multi millionaire.
>>335366631
there's plenty of unions in ameriland, just most of them are shit or useless.
Have any of you NEETs tried putting your passion for sitting alone in front of a screen to productive ends? Why dont you learn to make your own video games instead of complaining about them all the time. [Spoiler] I bet they'd be great :) [/spoiler]
>>335366790
There isn't any secret, i inherited a bunch of estate, i could sell it but decided to rent it out since i would just spend the burst ton of cash on stupid shit, this way its a constant income.
I pay all my bills etc, sometimes i need to go fix shit but its very rare, my tenants are usually alright, i go collect money each month, all is well.
Sometimes it gets boring, but sure as fuck beats wageslaving for a lot less cash, so i'm okay with that.
>>335366717
>I get treated way too nice
Check your thought patterns
>>335366721
I don't know what would require one person to work 60 hours a week with only one day off. How do you even have time for yourself or your family like that?
>>335366913
>4 months
damn senpai where do you teach? I remember when I was in public school summer break would only last 2 1/2 months
>>335366790
Are you fucking dumb? Owning land is like the easiest way to make money. Problem is, unless you're given land, good luck trying to get any.
All you do is rent out to people, make sure your tenants aren't shit heads, and fix their shit when they need it.
Then it's constant money every month.
>Work 40 to 50 hours a week (if needed)
>58 bucks per hour
>Job is testing web applications and essentially clicking on websites all day, with 0 coding.
OP and most of the people in this thread whining about 60 hour weeks have a shitty job. It's that simple.
>>335367141
Ever hear of the metropolitan life?
Businessmen in big places like Chicago/New York in certain industries like accounting work 60 hours minimum
As in, they don't end the week with anything less than that, guaranteed
>>335365278
>being an intelligent person with a decent job.
Could have sworn these are the true wageslaves, working 50+ hours a week because of how beneficial to the company they are. You wont get any free time.
>>335367036
You realise we're neets because we are literally useless?
Making a game is out of our league. We have the choice of either taking extremely shitty minimum wage tier jobs or getting minimum wage equivalent in benefits for doing nothing.

Ireland m8.
Technically its only three but the last month is literally just giving revision work in class and correcting end of term tests at home for most of it, which is such piss easy busywork that I count it as essentially time off.
Like seriously, I've no idea why my teachers in HS used to find it so painful to correct stuff - I get it virtually all done during work hours and have more free-time than I do during the rest of the term as a result.

>>335367036
I've tried, but I lack the drive and self discipline.
I have crippling ADHD, and I've been without meds since the middle of high school since they became way too expensive.
What usually happens is I'll end up sitting in front of an editor for five minutes trying to figure out how to do the shit I want to do, before growing bored and shifting to looking at /v/ or porn or some shit. This pretty much happens with anything that requires concentration for me.
>>335367036

This. The afternoon crash will come and go. If you can sneak some alchohol with your caffeine, it's a huge help. I used to work real estate from 8AM to midnight 5 days a week and get about 3 hours of sleep. Around noon-2ish, I'd get sluggish and have a hard time keeping my eyes open. One fireball and redbull later, I'm back on my A game.
>Disclaimer
>This sort of lifestyle kept up for any reasonable length of time will probably kill you. I kept it up for 3 years, been out of that job 7 months and my fatigue levels are still normalizing.
OP is right, though. Before I got a job I had so much time to play video games to the point I could go Pro. When I got a job I figured I'd be the same, but having a job really makes you lazy when it comes to video games.
>Work 8 hours/5days a week/8pm - 5pm

By the time you finish all of that and get to the video games you 1 - 3 hours to game and then it's time to go to fucking bed and get ready for work.

Best job on Earth. Too bad I'm going to die by 40 though.
Yeah it's fucking gay, I only need to make a small amount of money per month to pay rent but it's a still large enough that I couldn't get it part-time. Employers don't let you only work the hours that you need to get by, you either have to go all or nothing. I end up with a spare $1000 a month and nothing to spend it on except drinking, I'd rather have the free time.

i'm aware, i'm heading into med school (god willing) in a year after I get my diploma
i just figured it would be nice to explore some branches of the healthcare system to expand my horizons for the future
I live in the United States and Im on neetbux (SSI- supposed to be a income for the mentally disabled), and I work 2 9hour days a week at minimum wage ($9.75).
On neetbux alone, Id be making $650/mo, but with my job I make roughly a thousand a month.
And my rent and other bills usually only come out to be $375, maybe $400 a month.
If I didnt have SSI, Id have to roughly work fulltime (roughly 40hrs/w) to make the same amount.
Im also doing it safely and legally by telling Social Security how much I make a month.
My only fear is in a few years theyll do a checkup to see if I still deserve SSI (Pretty much check Im still retarded). Ill just have to act awkward as fuck and itll be fine though.

How does this relate to OP? The saddest part if the story, he used to be awesome at video games but over his 20 years working non stop he completely lost the hand eye coordination required to game

>>335368716
You're a studend, not going to classes and not doing exams doesn't mean anything.
You're not a NEET.
I'm not attacking you, I'm just telling you you're wrong.
>>335368481
Are you the same dude from Departures ?
>>335368716
NEET
Not (in)
Education
Employment (or)

Are you in one of those things? Then you aren't a NEET, no matter how lazy you are.
>>335367395
Look up neural networks, machine learning and advanced robotics. When those three things are perfected, the only work humans will have to do anymore is in the arts, like writers and musicians.
>>335368685
Why would I give money away? It's a welcome addition to my life.
But also, my job isn't mind-numbing or physically exhausting and I get to be around people a lot and make friends. Given my anti-social tendencies, this is good for me and if I was to remove myself from it, it wouldn't be any good.
>>335368824
So please, tell me.
What am I ?
I have only 6 exams left...
>>335368421

I have a similar problem. I've recently got a job at an ice cube factory and while the pay is low for a starting job, at least I have some money to spend on my hobby. The problem is I come back home so tired that I can't muster any strength to do anything besides browsing the internet until late at night and it's not been a good week, health-wise.
How do you reconcile work and your hobby without becoming a complete wage slaver and find will to play video games in your free time instead of just browsing the internet?
>>335368735
because your birth is arbitrarily based on two individuals deciding to compile their DNA so that another person can come into being and suffer the same hardships of life as they have

Why not start supporting your local shitposters in their endeavours by copying shitposters? Or come up with a particularly epic meme for others to spread. Or how about an app for 4chingles that adds some spice to day-to-day posting? If you're coming here commonly, I'd advise you just do what you can to add flair to it.
>>335368858
It's not as nearly interesting and people treat you like a leper once they find out.
>>335368735
You can't choose how you start it

Or how to end it

This is bullshit.

ADHDfag here. I fucked around with cocaine in HS, kicked it at my gf's request and have been clean since. Self-discipline level is barely enough to get me by - I should be writing right now, to be honest. Cocaine was a HUGE help. Just be careful with the amount and only use once per day.
>>335368053
Because that's what it boils down to. I have absolutely no motivation to do anything ever so everytime I try to get work I get either shut down or some stupid shit nobody else wants to do because my grades are shit and I suck at selling myself
It's an endless cycle, if I aspired to do more I wouldn't be without a job
>>335368735
Because humans are evil creatures who force life into the world without a thought, just for approval because that's what you're "supposed to do".
In case you're interested, there's a philosophy called antinatalism which asserts that conception is evil since all humans will experience nontrivial suffering in their lifetime which they can't consent to. It's interesting to read about.
>>335368948
>an ice cube factory
?
>>335368929
i was never really interested in going into pathology (maybe microbiology if i'd be forced to do anything pertaining to tiny shit), and being around mentally ill people is taxing on the soul
so far the goal has been to become an orthopedist, though I'm aware that your opinion changes while in med school
any reason why those two are the least appealing, though?
>>335369054
But the start can fuck you up badly.
And it's not like I wanted to not be brave enough to kill myself.
>>335369069
>arbitrarily based on two people compiling their dna
to-be-mother meets to-be-father, they fuck and the embryo gets 23 chromosomes from each parent
>so that another person can come into being and suffer the same hardships of life as they have
of course, your parents don't birth you with that in mind; but it happens to everyone anyway
where does my logic falter
>>335369149
>Not brave enough to kill yourself
At least evolution didn't fuck you there bud. Now just go get a mediocre job, eventually get a gf, have a kid and die old having done nothing.
Welcome to the human experience.

the only thing I get passionate about is masturbating. If I get horny every once in a while those are the best 10 minutes of my life
>>335368935

But I don't want a gf, I don't want to have kids, I don't want to have a job and I don't want to do anything important.

Shit, I used to just chug energy drinks when I worked at this grocery store. I feel it sort of helped with my attentiveness, but holy shit, I felt like shit when I got home.
>>335367036
I don't have a passion though, I play video game because it's easy
>>335369506
Maybe when I get older I'll get the courage to kill myself.
>>335369384
yeah, nothing to be done about that though
>>335369132
pathology encompasses histology and have to deal with dead bodies. psych deals with the most difficult patients, no real cures and they arent really taken seriously by the rest of medical field.
ortho is a very busy field but is rather straightforward. Although the lifestyle of a surgeon is horrendous

Every unemployed person is doing the same thing so even jobs where you may need some qualifications are getting 200+ applications.
>>335369348
Or don't have a kid because it's wrong to create a human life in the knowledge that they will experience suffering. Better to never be born and be ignorant of pleasure than to be born to suffer.
>Was on NEETbux
>Suddenly they declare I'm not qualified for them
>even though literally nothing had changed since I started getting them
I still don't understand why they did it.
Kill yourself
>>335369476
Maybe that's because all of those fucking things suck.
But you can either submit or ascend. Move to China and become a monk.

Coding is far easier for me than anything that involves art. Unfortunately I have the same problem as ADHD fags. I'm relearning python for the third time so I can try and actualize my idea for a shitty mobile game. Not that python is ideal for mobile games, but it is ideal for quickly and easily learning more in less time, and I already have a head for the basics since I did some in HS and college.
>>335369398
I seriously consider masturbation a hobby on par with video games for myself. I do it everyday, I think about it enough, and I've developed an eye for it. I even occasionally have discussions with my online friends about it.

>no real cures and they arent really taken seriously by the rest of medical field
what do they even do? the extent of their methods (to my knowledge) is to prescribe a bunch of medication and occasionally use electroshock therapy, though I guess trying to cure something that isn't physically curable is a tall order
>lifestyle of a surgeon
tell me about it, I got to visit a hospital just last week (because one of my lecturers is great friends with the head doctor of my local hospital), and their schedule is filled to the brim with shit to do.
i was considering maybe going into cardiothoracic surgery but after seeing how stressful their lifestyle is, i think i'll pass

On this note, I was thinking about starting up my own computer/mobile device repair service.
But I have no idea how to even start a business, and I'm worried about oversaturation since similar groups are cropping up around town here all the time.

I live right down the street from my job and groceries are a 20 minute walk away.
I have a college degree but all of the jobs I ever saw for it had offices that are either 1.5 hours of bus-ride both ways, or would require a car and that's still a half hour both ways.
No way am I doing an hour+ of commute for work. I'd rather work for $18 an hour for a 10 minute commute.
>>335370516
Because we have a fucking lot of them
Admittedly, many of us we're slapped in the face by fate, but hey, that's life
We have to do our best to make do anyways

Dude, that's mean.
>tfw studying for geology degree in university
How good or screwed am I?
>>335364961
I'm away from home, on average, something like 12-15 hours every day. Yet I still play games. You just have to make time for it. Or change how you go about it.
For example, I have a PSP filled with PS1 classics, and I play on lunch break, or in bed at night. I also have a laptop I use for games, and do basically the same thing.
You just have to use your brain, anon.
>>335370762
>I'd rather work for $18

I do that minus that I alternate between 5 and 6 day work weeks but anon I still got time for vidya.
>>335370762
>groceries are a 20 minute walk away.
You don't just get them delivered? Honestly, it costs me a dollar to have someone pick out my groceries for me, and then drive them to my fucking house.
The government pays people for college?
Then how are so many people 40k in debt?
