I have been a NEET for about two years. I dropped out of school at like 9th grade. I have no idea what I should be doing now. Is it over or should I just make up experience? Do employers even care?

Haven't applied to anything yet. I don't know if there's hope to get any sort of position. Not in this economy. Don't know what to do, at all.

Alright.
As a first step, I recommend making a day of going out into town and applying at every place you know. Retail, bars, clubs, restaurants, etc.

Make a resume to take with you, just write it down on a piece of paper - you dropped out in 9th grade? Did you get a GED, and, if not, do you think that you would be able to pass a GED? I'm asking strictly because it might not make that much of a difference if you simply write down that your highest level of education was "high school" and just say you graduated. Regardless, your highest level of education (we'll say 9th grade for now) goes on your resume.
Did you get any experience in anything extracurricular?

Whatever school experience you have goes on the resume, and if you've had any extracurricular experience you might want to include that, too, if you haven't had any jobs. Any gig work should also go on there.

If you aren't regularly going out into the place where you'll be looking, look at places in that area online - write down phone numbers, email addresses, etc. of the places where you're looking for work. Make a personal list for yourself of businesses where you will apply, and include whatever contact info you can find with this list.

If you know anyone who has a job, reach out to them, too. They may be able to put in a good word for you if you ask them, and they can tell you if there are any openings at the places where they work.

Thank you so much for the advice anon!
>Did you get a GED, and, if not, do you think that you would be able to pass a GED?
No, I think I would be able to pass it, but with the bare minimum.
>Did you get any experience in anything extracurricular?
Not much, I developed games, and composed music, but I was an amateur at both. I wrote a lot in my blog, but I have a tendency to delete a lot of what I created. I also have created websites and own domains, and made a bunch of videos.
>Any gig work should also go on there.
I'll put it on there, should I just create a blank account, and see if it'd work out?
>If you know anyone who has a job, reach out to them, too. They may be able to put in a good word for you if you ask them, and they can tell you if there are any openings at the places where they work.
Thank you so much! I'll see if I can get in contact with some people, I've lost a lot of my hobbies recently. It's hard to be into anything.
Is retail the best? A lot of the stores I see already look to have all the employees they possibly could.

switching from working s fuckass grocery job to a dishwasher at a local burger joint is amazing, I love a place I can work and know the guy who owns the restaurant and sometimes even visits to help cook and joke around with the staff, I respect a local owned business more honestly, you guys agree?

Hey anons,
I'm currently an archivist and (substitute) teacher in the US. It's time for me to get the hell out. I know that Taiwan accepts substitute teaching licenses for public schools (most other countries require a real teaching license for public schools)

I know Taiwan was founded by the KMT, are they still fascist? Or Fascist Lite like the US? I'm just starting the process now and it's not like my heart is set on Taiwan or anything.

Has anyone else done this or heard good/bad things about it?

Comradely,

If you think there's medical issues impeding you then you need to do something like see a docter for example.

If you want to stop procrastination: -

1) change your environment. Go to a library or something, leave all your entertaining shit at home.
2) turn your mobile off, or lock it away
3) break down your tasks, and keep breaking them down smaller until you actually make progress. Just opening the document can be one, or working for 2 minutes, whatever it takes.
4) try the pomodoro method - agree that you will do X task for 25 minutes and then reward yourself with a 5 minute break. I find this very helpful.

The more you procrastinate, the more pressure you feel because the task gets bigger or more tasks get added to your to-do list. The more pressure you feel, the more stressed you are, the more you want to avoid the task and do something that feels enjoyable. It is a very difficult cycle to break, but you have to start somewhere, no matter how small.

What I would do is just get yourself a LaTex template for a resume on a site like this: https://www.latextemplates.com/cat/curricula-vitae

unzip it, edit the .tex file (it's a bit like editing html, shouldn't be too hard) and then make a pdf with the pdflatex command.

(You can edit .tex with any text editor, or Gummi will render the document on one side for you)

Unless you find your dream job and strike it rich, what is the point? To eventually get a house which you don’t even really own? Yours always paying shit anyways. Would rather play Overwatch.

>Unless you find your dream job and strike it rich, what is the point?
To have money to live and buy stuff.

I mean, that's why people work jobs today. You know, for food. For shelter. For utility bills. Those are the primary reasons that people work jobs. You could also work to fund revolution if you like.

Now, if you want to understand why shelter is so insanely unaffordable, why people end up renting their entire lives or taking on mortgages their entire lives where they're forever paying the bank interest for their homes, that's another question. The answer is out-of-control land speculation.

The deal has gotten worse in recent years than it was some 50 years ago, and it will keep getting worse.

There's something to say for un-alienated labor, though. On communes, work is basically entirely purposeful. If you're washing dishes, it is so the dishes are clean. If you're cooking, it is so there is food. If you're building a new house on the land, it's so there's a new house. If you're donating to the library, it's so there are more books to read. If you're shoveling the out house, it's so the big pile of shit doesn't overflow. You understand the purpose of the labor, and the reward is the completion of a task and fulfillment of common goals, and that feels different from a lot of jobs where you're just doing whatever bullshit your boss tells you and you don't even know how much money is being made at the company compared to how much you're paid in wages. It's actually a very profound thing in a situation where alienation from every aspect of labor is the norm.

Getting a job while still in high school was almost impossible for me. You basically had to know someone. I remember people wouldn't want to hire me for minimum wage jobs, even though it's like nearly free labour.

Some gas station called me in for an interview 6 months after I applied, what a joke.

Once you get a bit of experience somewhere it gets easier, but for now I would ask your friends, your friends parents, your parent's friends etc… See if they have any work for you or heard of places that are hiring. Follow up with them too, so they actually ask around.

It will probably be something local and physical rather than online.
