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.

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.

Why online jobs?

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.

I never liked waging but I did wage for a good 4 years of my life and invested in crypto. which went relatively well. although i should have been a multimillionaire already. I fucked up many trades. But I'm still relatively well off and have 5 bitcoins and another 1 bitcoins in shitcoin. i also sold off a bitcoin between 60/70k. I have not really worked a job the past years and idk what the fuck is going on but I'm just not motivated anymore. for anything. especially not a job. I actually have a super wagie wojack factory job interview today but I think I am not going to go. the NPC interview is going to go full retard. Any job really. the entire B.S Human resources… the… slavery. the people talking to you like you are some retard ( I have a degree but do do low jobs now cause i gave up my IT carreer many years ago when my folio was big). I'm stuck bro's. my CV/RESUME is completely fucked with a 3 year gap and a 1 year gap. I could explain the one year gap saying I'm traevlling … but now i also have a 3 year gap (I was just enjoying my life and travelling). so when the HR Roasters see that they probably never want to hire me cause I am not a good wage slaves.

I also lived outside of the country for more than a year with my new foreign gf. but even that doesn't really scratch my itch right now. it feels over. is it normal that it feels over at 33?

Playing the paper-stack lottery probably isn't your best bet, corporate bureaucracies run on nepotism and connections. You have to do "people-networking"

Maybe find a worker-coop or people to start one with, or look for a gig in an NGO that lobbies for peace. You know these places usually aren't filled with as much dread. If you know IT maybe join an org that lobbies for digital liberties.

Yeah it don't know if you really want to use Children to train robots. Child-labor is iffy and your robots would obviously inherit all the behavioral quirks of children. Like extracting buggers from noses an flinging them across the room, fidgeting and so on. Children can also be diabolical and understand that they could insert behaviors into the bot training data, which to be honest might have amusing results.

Ok and? You think adults dont have problems either?

Again this is about learning about haptics and testing them out.

Also again children have done more serious work in the past without imparting any "childish" nuances.Society has comicalised childhood far too much that adults cannot even engage kids seriously on basic things.

And you seem to havecproblens with kids even doing low-stress work.

Also, alot of fidhetibg kids do is due to not tetting enough free time to play outsise.
Remember the constant psychvmeds and harbess belts adults put on kids and how simple horse play is criminalised now?

Society doesnt want kids to be kids but they dont want kids to grow up either.

Adults smother kids and then ggets surprised why theyre unpredictable.

>applications
Applications go into a pile and somebody or some process sorts out applicants. This negative selection aspect does not serve the interests of those that send applications. Therefor you'd have to expect that many people compensate by optimizing the information in their applications. So if you just send an unoptimized advertisement for your labor power …

>the job market is getting worse.
>it shouldn't be this hard to find a job
You meant ti say capital is doing a employment-strike and is refusing to hire all the available labor in order to bargain for lower labor-power prices.

Maybe try to organize all the people in a similar situation into an organization in order to increase the scarcity of applicants.

If you know how to work the finance stuff and make it spit out investment monies, try to use that an hire lots of people.

I know sooner or later I will have to escape NEETdom since this lifestyle isn't sustainable in the long-term and you'll start to feel depressed and like a bum.

I know one day I will want to live an independent life. My end goal is to make lots of money while I'm still young so I can save up and buy land in the country and build a homestead.

Immediately after graduating high school, I did college for one semester in Fall 2019 and then basically dropped out when the pandemic hit. I was studying for computer science but I'd said college ain't worth for learning that since I can easily learn about programming and system administration with Linux and FOSS software and the clusters of old computers and Raspberry Pis I have at home.

I've been considering joining Job Corps or enrolling myself in a vocational school and then get an apprenticeship so I can become an electrician (or plumbing or HVAC). I heard being an electricians make good money and you mostly just work alone. I'm already good with math and learning the physics of electromagnetism and thermodynamics.

Are there any other NEETs and ex-NEETs who don't like college/university but are considering or are going to trade school or apprenticeships?

There's trade school for programming in my cunt (Europe), they mostly teach CRUDs and basic coding/tech stuff. Basically preparing a bunch of code monkeys but like 80% find employment afterwards

Why not grind the techslave life till you can comfortably work from home while building your funky ruraloid shit. If you wait to save up money by that time you're gonna be old and out of energy
