Just dropped out of college and don't want/can't neet. What are some options, manual labor bros?
>too much strain on one bone/muscle would cause damage
>too little movement provides insufficient training
>touching/inhaling chemicals gives cancer
>unstable shift hours ruins sleep
>isolation harms mental health
It's kind of difficult to make a decision here.
I went into landscaping and it's been good but it will fuck your back eventually, just a matter of time. If you just want to do it for a few years, maybe it's for you.
Manual jobs aren't for gains. They're for catabolic breakdown of muscle tissue and injury
Then what are your gains even for? Only for looking?
This, manual jobs would be great for gains if yo could stop once you have hit your daily max. Instead you are forced to keep going and make negative gains.
Cabinet making
Go sales. Trades are a meme. You know why they call if the trades? Because you trade your hopes and dreams in for a steady (low) paycheck. Have fun dealing with high school dropouts, Hispanics, alcoholics, crackheads, and so on.
>t. Electrician that is 1 bad day from beating the ever living fuck out of his GC and going to do something like car sales.
not op but im dropping out this year too, how does one get into car sales with no previous experience?
Nick Rochefort said all it takes is you have to walk into a dealership, look presentable and tell them you really want to work there.
>Nick Rochefort
Quick wit, understands people and 9/10 speaking ability
>sales
> putting on a smile, lying, being fake, pretending to be someone you're not all day
>doesn't know how to chat people up
Stop being a socially retarded autist. Sales are like sex: if you're good at 1, you;re good at the other. TY for telling me youre a virgin
>inb4 n-n-no!
Then you'd be a natural at sales
Except you forget the part where the trades uts you in nut freezing/boiling weather, dangerous conditions, shitty working hours (you WILL have a period of time every job site where'd you're working 10 hours a day minimum, sometimes 6 days a week), Hispanics who fuck everything up (every time OSHA comes out it's because a beaner was a tard), and dickhead, braindead turbo normie morons who look at you funny if you think they're a bitch working so much OT to pay off their alimony.
>soulless the post
>Make $60k + easily because you can chitchat
Have you ever worked in customer service, or as a cashier or something? When I did as a young autismo I realized just how retarded everyone is, and how low the bar is for being charismatic. Working sales is piss easy if you have half a brain.
Can you say moron at work? How about gay or garden gnome? I can and do, all day.
yep, customer service is hell unless you're soulless, no idea how anyone with a soul could be fake all day and enjoy it unless you've never actually done it.
getting money but losing hours of your day doing something completely unenjoyable is completely brainless and bugman pilled.
It's only unenjoyable if you're some incel Hispanic
nah it's just a bugman job, only bugs like those jobs
sales are the single most soul sucking career you could ever get into
just go back to school and lift in your spare time
why?
i was a drug dealer and did the same thing it was quite fun
>Because you trade your hopes and dreams in for a steady (low) paycheck
You do the exact same thing in an office, you just get less sunlight and exercise. Good tradesmen can make a lot of money these days when blue collar boomers are retiring and zoomers only want to become influencers or e-commerce goblins
Good luck getting the boomer to train new apprentices, the only reason there's a shortage is because they won't train anyone new, and are shocked masters plumbers, carpenters, and electricians aren't spawning out of the pavement like a goddamn MMORPG.
Get into custodial work. You can use it as a way to keep your metabolism and calorie expenditure high by walking around all day and it gives you those forearm gains from constant use.
Plus if you’re in a housekeeping environment you’ll be the only fit guy surrounded by illegal immigrant Hispanic girls
unless you have kids or need to feed a drug addiction don't do manual labor
Manuel Labor is for mexicans
Outdoor recreation. Ski patrol, instructing, climbing, canyoning whatever.
I do landscape installs
Retaining walls, flagstone patios, fences, drainage work etc
There's a big demand for people who want simple projects like that done affordably
It's usually 2-5 days jobs so there's a lot of leg work to stay busy and always be doing estimates
Start up costs are basic tools and a truck/trailer, ideally a truck with a dump bed
Or you can give up some profit by having materials delivered
Some days are VERY demanding moving 5 tons of stone uphill in buckets, some days you're sitting on a machine dicking around
4 years in my body feels alright and Im ridiculously strong for my size
concrete is good, if you take care of yourself, most people that go to shit is because they smoke drink, smoke dope eat the absolute garbage tier food etc.
you can make 100K plus if you have a brain
I do gutters and gutter guards.
Pros are that it's pretty light work, not too dirty/dusty, and not repetitive.
Cons are that you might fall off a roof, and it's hot af in the summer. Not as bad as roofing where you're constantly bent over though.
Just get a welding or hvac cert.
I’m a courier driver and I get some decent exercise during the day.
>lifting boxes all day
>stack multiple boxes and deadlift off ground
>carry them
>squat down to put them on the ground
>sprint everywhere for cardio bursts
>outdoors all day getting precious vitamin D and socialising with the locals
Nothing overly strenuous but it beats a sentient office job.

My stepfather did construction, he had a fat belly but decent strength. You won't be super muscular doing manual labor, you'll need to focus on hypertrophy workouts in the gym but the job will help build your strength
cleaning the floor with a Kärcher for core
I work in an outdoor lumberyard in North Dakota, I'm able to only go to the gym twice a week and it's difficult doing leg workouts. The only good physical thing is that your shoulders look pretty good all the time. It's also lifting sheet rock, bricks, rocks, sand, shingles, plywood, water logged treated wood, used appliances, sheet metal, etc... It's supposed to be self service but lazy fucking boomers are always coming straight from the hospital after surgery supposedly.
Carpenter here, it's hell and the pay is never enough.
It fucks with your ability to work out and build aesthetic muscle. Today i installed some hardwood floor and my back was killing me 5min in. Now it's 9:15pm and i have to do deadlifts to finish my workout. I just want to watch tv and sleep but i can't get back into that nightmare cycle.
If i was smart enough do make money a safer way i would.
Tldr don't do it
>If i was smart enough do make money a safer way i would
I feel you brotherman. My body hurts pretty often and I am only 27. But I am too much of a smoothbrain to do anything else. And tbh I do enjoy the work
I've become a lawyer and don't like it, maybe I can become a judge in some backwater
That'd be pretty based If you convict some dyel
"I sentence you to get swole as fuck within 2 years, if you fail you will be put to death"
Everyone gets buff in jail, I'd be doing him a favour
True
Then put him to death via bench press. Start at 150lbs and he has to do a rep and each rep you add 25lbs
