I walk about 39 dogs a week. I walk around 6 at a time and am actually just fricking massive. I don't wear a shirt and nobody has ever told me anything. I do it for free just to flex.
Same, but I get to work from home. Best career you can choose tbh. I get paid amazing with good work life balance. You just cant be a brainlet to do the job effectively.
Based, my goal is you but fully wfh. I have an industrial engineering degree and currently working in manufacturing quality assurance. I am hoping this is a good starting point to build up experience and eventually transition to data analyst as quality works with a lot of data. Currently taking IBM data analytics course and gonna probs take a separate SQL course to dive a little deeper after that. Is this a solid plan? Any advice?
i.t
close just shy from 6 figs. skate ass job, I have a powerblock to knock out a good fast workout. big building, constantly doing stairs and walks. lift desktops and do trunk twists with them. I squat to get down and check the fiber. all the old ladies love me
UPS delivery driver. Good money but I literally want to kill myself most days. Go to school or learn a trade, kids. Otherwise you'll be a slave to the man.
Well, you'll still be a slave to the man regardless but you know what I mean.
>but I literally want to kill myself most days
How's that? I've been thinking about becoming a postman, because here it means riding your sponsored e-bike around town twice a day
Horribly unpredictably long hours for one. For instance if you're good at your job like me the shitty driver's work gets dumped onto you and you have to complete their stops. I work over 12 hours a day at least 4 days a week. Now it wouldn't be all that bad but it's the middle of summer and the trucks have no fricking AC. As a driver you are not allowed to dilly dally even in the slightest. Bathroom break? You better hurry the frick up, wagie. We're monitoring how long your truck has been off for (yes that happens). Then on top of that you have to deal with the general public, dogs, wrong addresses, people b***hing about how their shit hasn't been picked up/delivered for weeks. It's a shoot the messenger type situation most days. If you ever wonder why UPS drivers drive like we're in Formula 1, it's because time is money, and by time is money, I mean money that we're not making for our bigwig bosses, who view you as a number.
Now on the flip side, I make six figures and have only been doing it for four years. On top of that I get fantastic benefits and am part of a union that's trying its darndest to get us better working conditions at the moment. Doubt anything will come of that, though.
tl;dr if you have no other options for employment I'd say go for it. But it takes a while to climb up to a driver position (at least in UPS it is; not sure about standard mail).
Thanks for the reply.
sounds like the garbage collecting I did for a few weeks last summer. was basically the same shit; first shift didn't do shit, so we had to do their route too. The worst thing was that we had to do their route first, so after 3 hours of driving around, we'd be at the first site of our actual route >But it takes a while to climb up to a driver position
Ye, I'd start out with one shift delivering mail per week and for the rest I'd be sorting mail, which sounds kinda mind numbing, but comfy
Godspeed anon, WAGMI
Have you considered getting a class A CDL and doing linehaul for UPS? Linehaul is easy, thats just terminal to terminal. I did linehaul for a fedex ground contractor.
How did you climb to driver position
I currently work for fed ex as a package handler part time while
I work on my trade school degree
But since you say driver get paid 6 figures it’s always a good to have a back up plan.
How is being a delivery guy that bad? I'm a process server. Its all driving to serve people legal notices. I actually enjoyed being on the road. I would think parcel delivery would be the same but easier, you don't have to deal with angry people getting sued.
nice trips.
I'm just imagining a dude out on the open road listening to some goofyball girly technobop gleefully delivering subpeonas and lawsuit forms, effectively ruining a dozen people's day on the daily. What a life.
Thats pretty much exactly what it is.. I've done everything from foreclosure, notices of default, and a LOT of credit card debt small claims. mexicans love running up their credit cards. Also, its not really ruining their lives. Their lives are probably already shit.. but also, getting sued isn't as big a deal as most people think. Its not like this people are going to jail. I stay away from divorce papers and criminal servings.
>running up credit cards
idk why but hearing about gun accidents and credit card debt makes me fricking cackle. Like bro it's easy just don't be moronic.
IT Audit. I wfh a day or two a week, honestly prefer going into work cause my gym is in the same building as my office. I just do dumbell shit between calls/tasks when I wfh
Little bit of everything since I started my own practice, I'm on the west coast so most of my clients are HOAs suing poorgays that bought a 500k house with a 50% debt to income ratio and the 300 dollar quarterly HOA dues put their stupid ass under kek
I still don’t understand why people live right up to their means where a few couple hundred dollar payments will ruin their lives. And people blame anyone but themselves.
Anyway, I hope your practice grows well. Take care anon
Federal refs atm in the US? I’m in Wisconsin so there isn’t much but the company I work for is hyper enviro conscious. So take whatever California does and add a tad bit more to it. But laws and regs? Not all that bad really, it’s understandable to want to reduce NOx and Co2 I also run equipment that burns methane landfill gas so that heightens regs a bit too.
Law is law dude, I never wanted high profile shit, I already have enough on my conscious as is, all the fricks that went into criminal law are fricked up now, some are worse than the actual criminals they prosecuting.
I'll stick with my HOA disputes and tax doges thank you very much.
Not every attorney is a scumbag. I spend nearly all of my billable time winning judgements for victims of terrorist attacks. There are lots of practice groups at any respectable firm.
I only make that now because I just started my own practice and have to keep that afloat while I gather more clients, which I will, that's going great actually but these things take time. I grossed 215k last year but only got 93k profit in 2022 after expenses/taxes. I made 105k starting at my last job but I've always wanted to run the show myself
Anon give me tips, im going to take the lsat next year
Study hard for it, but I found it to be easier than I thought it would be
Damn, I'm glad I got in when I did. Don't get me wrong, that's not a bad TC, but I do the same thing and I'm at almost 1.2M. If you reapply every 2-3 years you could probably do 1M within a decade, just keep applying and learning new shit.

Daily reminder to gullibles - most of everything you read here is bullshit. Please don't believe this shit, it's just weird demoralizing LARP. We're all gonna make it, but you must ignore liars and kill snakes, lest they poison those toot weak too see the truth.
The median income in the U.S. is 32k. The median income in this mongolian basket weaving thread is somehow like 290k. That's bullshit. What I want to know is why people are so insecure that they need to lie about their salary on the internet.
And yeah, it is demoralizing. We can pretend all day like we're happy as frick and jacking off to other people's financial success as much as we jack off to our own, but it's a cringey "just be positive, positive energy" woman delusion. People making 31k don't like cleaning up shit to pay rent to the guy making 500k who's a lead assistant tactical director of employee diversity evangelism. He wants to own his own house and stop subsidizing bullshit. He wants to get buy on his own merits and not have to win some corporate-bureaucratic lottery to land a bullshit paper-shuffling job. Read picrel.
I just draw pictures and talk all day. The engineers do the actual manual labor kek.

Engineering is actually quite different from Architecting. Being an engineer can actually be a detriment to transitioning into being an architect. Know the underlying tech and be able to explain the tech in detail to normies. For example, avoid the jargon like EC2 and compute engine, instead understand what a VM is and learn how to translate what it means to execs up the food chain in an organization that don't want to be bothered to learn the nitty gritty tech definition.
Reach out to an Architect and pay them to be your mentor. That's your shortcut to the top anon. It's a process you'll need a mentor to pull off.

Anon you gotta make the journalist thing work for you. Being a straight up reporter fricking sucks but once you break through shit gets good. Go into PR or inner company communications.
To be fair I don't work for a newspaper. I cover energy sector for a private company. I'm paid better than a typical beat reporter, but it's still not great. A long way yet from six figures. However, I get to work from home, the benefits are decent and I don't hate my coworkers and immediate supervisors. That's worth a fair bit.
When I was real young I worked as a cook for waffle house, was really funny and taught me how to cook lots of different food pretty fast. Cooking generally sucks tho, very dependent on the staff, management, customers and location, but you can find a sweet spot if you poke around long enough, usually flexible hours but also you will probably have to work weekends
I preferred just some white collar job doing nothing all that important, like data entry or something, it's boring but the schedule is locked and you get the weekends off.
Bartending is also fun and will force you to socialize, you can make great money in a short amount of time at the cost of sleep

I live in the North of UK. The houses are very solid for this price. 3 bedrooms.
I suppose a cash purchase helps get a discount but you essentially doubled your fricking money immediately.
Yeah it's great for me. Have spent a little more since buying to furnish to my liking. New TV and stuff.

A lot of houses here are really old so they were built for rich people. This means that a 100 year old house usually has very thick walls and solid flooring.
When I was having what you call "cable" installed they had to use an extended drill bit and then meet it around the other side to feed the wire through kek.

I agree, AI is coming, people should definitely stop getting into tech and driving down all the fricking wages we're full, having to transition from engineer to pajeet wrangler over the years makes me want to blow my brains out
They live in ~~*cities*~~ and live like rats. They'll tell you their salary and how it's great and they'll lie and cope and seethe, but really, it's not a good life. These people could be making 250k but still have no real savings, tons of debt, tons of expenses, get caught up in weird status games, no peace and quiet, terrible air quality, it's just not good.

criminally easy once I got used to it, most hardworking people who work from home could work 2 jobs at once, but don't have the balls to try it. you just need a position that doesn't have very many meetings. I make a good 50% more $$ than my bosses lol
Any problems with interviewing around? Background checks, W2's, etc?
Thinking about doing this instead of "exiting" my current job. Just joining another remote one. I could totally do it if I came up with some bs excuse as to why I need to WFH (mom has dementia)
nice LARP, but some people actually did this during covid. It's died down since then, and unfortunately probably won't be a thing again for a while, especially cause employers are using things like Experian work number to track people doing it.
software dev.
$85k as junior. I have no friends and all I do is buy groceries so my monthly spending comes out to $1300. Im saving a lot of money but at the same time im very alone 🙁
How long have you been doing it? Consider going back to school and pivoting into something else maybe. The thing about careers like engineering is that the end is just money. Maybe you could find some scholarship area that interests you or transition into business leadership or law or even military or something. just a thought.
A little over 1 year. Why would I want to switch careers though? The only thing I care about my career is the money I get, I don't get spiritual with my jobs dude.
You made it sound like the money is unsatisfying, but maybe I misread and it really just is loneliness. Still, if you want more money, a Master’s, Doctorate’s, JD, or MBA might be able to get you there, after a few more years as a developer. If the money is what you want, it’s really just up to you to figure out how much you want and how to get it. I’m afraid I can’t really help you with the loneliness because I’m a bit of a loner myself. Maybe the above could assuage that. I’m not really sure.
All good man. I dont think more schooling is necessary, senior devs get over $100k after a few years.
But yea, being alone makes everything I own seem pointless. Im definitely not complaining about my cushy life though
i've been doing software engineering for about 4 years now. 6 fig salary but I'm starting to hate it due to how lonely it gets.
Currently going back to school to get pre-reqs done for nursing. I'm not sure if it's the right move but gotta do something more than just sit on my ass
Don’t do that. I did it for years, it’s a terrible line of work. Fun for a while but it’s a dead end unless you want to own a restaurant which I do not, nor will you.
>when some of the servers make 80-100k
i only hear about this for extremely high end restaurants. most servers make jank ass pay and probably sells drugs on the side
As an engineer I earn a pretty damn good wage but it's totally irrelevant in the context of life. It's just a way people with nothing else about them try to flex. There are many like it in my field and every single one of them is a loser.
I'm not a totally money isn't everything guy, it can help a hell of a lot in being happy and stress free but to just mention your salary when nobody asked is mental.
R&D Engineer for firearms company. Get to shoot tons of cool guns everyday and then draw parts in CAD while pretending to actually use math and science to make parts instead of just drawing shit I think looks cool. Any time I’m told to do scientific analysis I don’t and say that I did so pretty based.
Good for you man, keep working at it and learn your equipment. When shit hits the fan and goes down, that’s when you get better and learn the vital stuff.

I love this job. I WFH 3-4 days a week, my boss is super nice, my work is interesting, and there is upward mobility.
I am very lucky to have this job. My boss told me that they closed all hiring during my internship but they had to hold their promise to me. Then we had a round of layoffs and the one other fresh graduate in my small team got clipped. Everyone I know thats in SWE that didn't get a job ~two years ago is kind of fricked
Marine turned 1st Civ. Div. College student/Political aid. Got out 10 months ago and never felt better. For anyone thinking of joining any US military branch forget it, they are so pozzed and in denial its unreal the gymnastics they pill to give the Mans Man look until you actually join then you get Equal Opportunity (diversity training) thrown at you constantly. After 2016 the DOD did everything to counter Trump and even Mattis who wasn't on good terms with him. For those of you who are in, GTFO THEY ARE LYING TO YOU. It's not scary or overwhelming at all, the only downside is you don't get told what to do every day. So enjoy yourself and frick the Fed.
also I did 10 years for anyone that thinks I was some salty ass zoomer who couldn't hack it in boot camp. Also got a forged vaxx card to dodge that gay shit but others either had to bend the knee or got kicked out with no benefits. I knew a gut that did 20 and refused, they still denied him any retirement cause he was so vocal in his refusal despite them offering to quietly retire him before he was kicked out.
Real shame because there’s really nowhere else to turn. Basically, if you’re not cut out for business and money-making you’re fricked. Military officers used to be the societal elite to a huge degree.
My job is basically non-existent. I’m salaried, but I work remotely and never have work to do. Most days I don’t do anything besides reply to a few e-mails. The major downside is that it doesn’t pay well enough to do much of anything. I live with my parents and I just turned 30.
I'm an engineering technician that builds satellites. I currently make ~$85k/yr but I'm training to become a manufacturing engineer (I basically do all the duties already, I just need to prove that I can be trusted since I don't have a degree) so hopefully I'll be making more soon. I live in an expensive west coast city so 85k doesn't go very far.

If I could do it again, I'd probably spend my 20s dicking around instead of jumping right into a career would enlist, then peace corps, AT, PCT, then go to college on GI Bill to be a civ/mech engie and go work at some boomer corps in some comfy countryside town
I enlisted in my 20s, got out and used gi bill to get a degree and then reenlisted in the cg. I've worked many jobs as a civillian, and cg aviation is just way cooler.

I completely failed my early years (no father) and failed as a young adult. Im good with women despite being shit at my own whatever the frick im doing.
I have no experience in anything other than knowing how to drive, how a computer works, and how to animate coom. I hate it. I hate making coom with every fricking fiber of my being but stopping now when im actually making pennies an hour would be a waste.
I dont have anything else going for me and I wish I wasnt such a fricking autist that I could actually work, man up, and make a career.
I dont care how fricked everything is or that our entire existence is purely made to serve those who have more money than us.. I just want to support my wife, have a son so I can be the father I never had, and die satisfied.
But ive resigned to sudoku. Gonna earn whatever I can, give it all to the wife, and peace the frick out. I've already lost.

Foreign language interpreter. This is my first job ever (got hired at 20) and I make good money. Also get to work from home, overall have no complaints.
Currently a college student going to college for a degree in history, soooo not the best choice but it's my last year. At least its a degree I guess but with the debt its gonna suck.
In terms of jobs I have worked as a lacrosse coach, and this summer I worked for my local city as a service worker. So like construction, working on roads, maintenance, etc.
I am a salesman. Prolly made about 12k a month this year so far but I am exhausted from the grind so gonna slow down soon. It is not a very fit job being at a computer so much but I recently got a standing desk to improve my day 2 day. Right now I have some nerve impingement on my right side from bad posture from mouse use

Do you have a graduate degree or did you get that job with just your bachelor's?
Bachelor's. After certain amount of years experience you don't need a graduates degree
I get calls and offers from companies on a weekly basis so the market seems to be in good shape
how many years experience?
More than you'll ever get without a graduate degree.

UPS delivery driver. Good money but I literally want to kill myself most days. Go to school or learn a trade, kids. Otherwise you'll be a slave to the man.
Well, you'll still be a slave to the man regardless but you know what I mean.
>but I literally want to kill myself most days
How's that? I've been thinking about becoming a postman, because here it means riding your sponsored e-bike around town twice a day
Horribly unpredictably long hours for one. For instance if you're good at your job like me the shitty driver's work gets dumped onto you and you have to complete their stops. I work over 12 hours a day at least 4 days a week. Now it wouldn't be all that bad but it's the middle of summer and the trucks have no fricking AC. As a driver you are not allowed to dilly dally even in the slightest. Bathroom break? You better hurry the frick up, wagie. We're monitoring how long your truck has been off for (yes that happens). Then on top of that you have to deal with the general public, dogs, wrong addresses, people b***hing about how their shit hasn't been picked up/delivered for weeks. It's a shoot the messenger type situation most days. If you ever wonder why UPS drivers drive like we're in Formula 1, it's because time is money, and by time is money, I mean money that we're not making for our bigwig bosses, who view you as a number.
Now on the flip side, I make six figures and have only been doing it for four years. On top of that I get fantastic benefits and am part of a union that's trying its darndest to get us better working conditions at the moment. Doubt anything will come of that, though.
tl;dr if you have no other options for employment I'd say go for it. But it takes a while to climb up to a driver position (at least in UPS it is; not sure about standard mail).
Thanks for the reply.
sounds like the garbage collecting I did for a few weeks last summer. was basically the same shit; first shift didn't do shit, so we had to do their route too. The worst thing was that we had to do their route first, so after 3 hours of driving around, we'd be at the first site of our actual route
>But it takes a while to climb up to a driver position
Ye, I'd start out with one shift delivering mail per week and for the rest I'd be sorting mail, which sounds kinda mind numbing, but comfy
Godspeed anon, WAGMI
Didn’t you guys go on strike and win to get rid of most of those problems?
I saw UPS getting 170k salaries now after the strike (tech sector btfo)
I've worked at ups for over 15 years, we didn't even have to go on strike 😉
Have you considered getting a class A CDL and doing linehaul for UPS? Linehaul is easy, thats just terminal to terminal. I did linehaul for a fedex ground contractor.
How did you climb to driver position
I currently work for fed ex as a package handler part time while
I work on my trade school degree
But since you say driver get paid 6 figures it’s always a good to have a back up plan.
How is being a delivery guy that bad? I'm a process server. Its all driving to serve people legal notices. I actually enjoyed being on the road. I would think parcel delivery would be the same but easier, you don't have to deal with angry people getting sued.
nice trips.
I'm just imagining a dude out on the open road listening to some goofyball girly technobop gleefully delivering subpeonas and lawsuit forms, effectively ruining a dozen people's day on the daily. What a life.
Thats pretty much exactly what it is.. I've done everything from foreclosure, notices of default, and a LOT of credit card debt small claims. mexicans love running up their credit cards. Also, its not really ruining their lives. Their lives are probably already shit.. but also, getting sued isn't as big a deal as most people think. Its not like this people are going to jail. I stay away from divorce papers and criminal servings.
Behind the scenes of the American dream. People buying shit they don't need and can't afford in order to keep up appearances.

Little bit of everything since I started my own practice, I'm on the west coast so most of my clients are HOAs suing poorgays that bought a 500k house with a 50% debt to income ratio and the 300 dollar quarterly HOA dues put their stupid ass under kek
I still don’t understand why people live right up to their means where a few couple hundred dollar payments will ruin their lives. And people blame anyone but themselves.

Federal refs atm in the US? I’m in Wisconsin so there isn’t much but the company I work for is hyper enviro conscious. So take whatever California does and add a tad bit more to it. But laws and regs? Not all that bad really, it’s understandable to want to reduce NOx and Co2 I also run equipment that burns methane landfill gas so that heightens regs a bit too.
Anon give me tips, im going to take the lsat next year
Here's my tip: don't take tips from an attorney who couldn't make it into big law.
Law is law dude, I never wanted high profile shit, I already have enough on my conscious as is, all the fricks that went into criminal law are fricked up now, some are worse than the actual criminals they prosecuting.
I'll stick with my HOA disputes and tax doges thank you very much.
Not every attorney is a scumbag. I spend nearly all of my billable time winning judgements for victims of terrorist attacks. There are lots of practice groups at any respectable firm.
I realize that, attorney's are people, and not perfect, same goes for law itself, do crimes kids, just don't get caught.
you're a lawyer that doesn't even make 6 figs? why even bother?
I only make that now because I just started my own practice and have to keep that afloat while I gather more clients, which I will, that's going great actually but these things take time. I grossed 215k last year but only got 93k profit in 2022 after expenses/taxes. I made 105k starting at my last job but I've always wanted to run the show myself

Engineering is actually quite different from Architecting. Being an engineer can actually be a detriment to transitioning into being an architect. Know the underlying tech and be able to explain the tech in detail to normies. For example, avoid the jargon like EC2 and compute engine, instead understand what a VM is and learn how to translate what it means to execs up the food chain in an organization that don't want to be bothered to learn the nitty gritty tech definition.
Reach out to an Architect and pay them to be your mentor. That's your shortcut to the top anon. It's a process you'll need a mentor to pull off.

To be fair I don't work for a newspaper. I cover energy sector for a private company. I'm paid better than a typical beat reporter, but it's still not great. A long way yet from six figures. However, I get to work from home, the benefits are decent and I don't hate my coworkers and immediate supervisors. That's worth a fair bit.

How are you all so rich? I make 30k and feel comfy.
I'm old, was around that level for most of my 20s tho, don't worry about money anon, you'll make more
You got any advice for what jobs don't make you want to blow your brains out while still a student?
When I was real young I worked as a cook for waffle house, was really funny and taught me how to cook lots of different food pretty fast. Cooking generally sucks tho, very dependent on the staff, management, customers and location, but you can find a sweet spot if you poke around long enough, usually flexible hours but also you will probably have to work weekends
I preferred just some white collar job doing nothing all that important, like data entry or something, it's boring but the schedule is locked and you get the weekends off.

Depends on where you live. Some places $100k feels like $30k
Where do you live? 30K was what I was shooting for when I had no job experience and was getting my first IT related job.
In current year it's not really that much. You could work at Buccees and pull in ~40k+ w no experience.
But of course the best way to make money is to learn a trade, and work for yourself. Most people prefer to work for somebody else though.
I was poor as shit until I got my masters degree. Now i am comfortable
My starting wage after getting a Masters was 40K but I live in a North Bongland city. Very comfortable wage here. House purchased in 3 years.
Did you just not spend any money for three years?
I spent about 10k a year on living but saved the other 30k. After 3 years I had 90k in savings. Put it all down on a house worth 160k (3 beds).
It needed some renovation and the previous owner wanted to sell because they were moving to Australia.
So you didn't buy it outright or did they sell for 90? That's insane if you bagged a 160k house for that much fair play.
Yeah, they sold for 90K. Apparently they just wanted to move ASAP.
I suppose a cash purchase helps get a discount but you essentially doubled your fricking money immediately.

A lot of houses here are really old so they were built for rich people. This means that a 100 year old house usually has very thick walls and solid flooring.

most of the houses being built in the US are oversized monstrosities that are unaffordable to purchase, unaffordable to maintain, isolated moats
I worked as a contractor in America for 8 years and was shocked to see some of the materials they use for construction. They're technically good enough but I'd be pissed if my house was made like that.
There are tons of houses like old Georgians and Federal style built out of stone and brick in the Northeastern US.

software dev.
$85k as junior. I have no friends and all I do is buy groceries so my monthly spending comes out to $1300. Im saving a lot of money but at the same time im very alone 🙁
How long have you been doing it? Consider going back to school and pivoting into something else maybe. The thing about careers like engineering is that the end is just money. Maybe you could find some scholarship area that interests you or transition into business leadership or law or even military or something. just a thought.
A little over 1 year. Why would I want to switch careers though? The only thing I care about my career is the money I get, I don't get spiritual with my jobs dude.
You made it sound like the money is unsatisfying, but maybe I misread and it really just is loneliness. Still, if you want more money, a Master’s, Doctorate’s, JD, or MBA might be able to get you there, after a few more years as a developer. If the money is what you want, it’s really just up to you to figure out how much you want and how to get it. I’m afraid I can’t really help you with the loneliness because I’m a bit of a loner myself. Maybe the above could assuage that. I’m not really sure.
All good man. I dont think more schooling is necessary, senior devs get over $100k after a few years.
But yea, being alone makes everything I own seem pointless. Im definitely not complaining about my cushy life though
i've been doing software engineering for about 4 years now. 6 fig salary but I'm starting to hate it due to how lonely it gets.

Don’t do that. I did it for years, it’s a terrible line of work. Fun for a while but it’s a dead end unless you want to own a restaurant which I do not, nor will you.
Also demoralizing when some of the servers make 80-100k when you're the one doing the most important job in the restaraunt.
>when some of the servers make 80-100k
i only hear about this for extremely high end restaurants. most servers make jank ass pay and probably sells drugs on the side

As an engineer I earn a pretty damn good wage but it's totally irrelevant in the context of life. It's just a way people with nothing else about them try to flex. There are many like it in my field and every single one of them is a loser.
Guess I'm a loser. But, the people who usually go down the, "money isn't everything" route tend not to be all that interesting either.

Marine turned 1st Civ. Div. College student/Political aid. Got out 10 months ago and never felt better. For anyone thinking of joining any US military branch forget it, they are so pozzed and in denial its unreal the gymnastics they pill to give the Mans Man look until you actually join then you get Equal Opportunity (diversity training) thrown at you constantly. After 2016 the DOD did everything to counter Trump and even Mattis who wasn't on good terms with him. For those of you who are in, GTFO THEY ARE LYING TO YOU. It's not scary or overwhelming at all, the only downside is you don't get told what to do every day. So enjoy yourself and frick the Fed.
also I did 10 years for anyone that thinks I was some salty ass zoomer who couldn't hack it in boot camp. Also got a forged vaxx card to dodge that gay shit but others either had to bend the knee or got kicked out with no benefits. I knew a gut that did 20 and refused, they still denied him any retirement cause he was so vocal in his refusal despite them offering to quietly retire him before he was kicked out.
Real shame because there’s really nowhere else to turn. Basically, if you’re not cut out for business and money-making you’re fricked. Military officers used to be the societal elite to a huge degree.
My job is basically non-existent. I’m salaried, but I work remotely and never have work to do. Most days I don’t do anything besides reply to a few e-mails. The major downside is that it doesn’t pay well enough to do much of anything. I live with my parents and I just turned 30.
I'm an engineering technician that builds satellites. I currently make ~$85k/yr but I'm training to become a manufacturing engineer (I basically do all the duties already, I just need to prove that I can be trusted since I don't have a degree) so hopefully I'll be making more soon. I live in an expensive west coast city so 85k doesn't go very far.

If I could do it again, I'd probably spend my 20s dicking around instead of jumping right into a career would enlist, then peace corps, AT, PCT, then go to college on GI Bill to be a civ/mech engie and go work at some boomer corps in some comfy countryside town
I enlisted in my 20s, got out and used gi bill to get a degree and then reenlisted in the cg. I've worked many jobs as a civillian, and cg aviation is just way cooler.
Coasties seem cool probably hard to get a bad assignment too even an ice breaker would be neat
Sysadmin, did it for a very stressful company before my current company. Gained 20kg as a result, still chipping away at getting that down. All went to the midsection and chin too, FRICK.
Bs cloud ops that's not ops. 1 year mark of my team doing nothing but I keep it working. Need to quit and make 160k or its over

In my country there is a program where if there is something wrong with you, then you can work part time and then the municipality supplements your pay so you get a full time salary each month.
So I work 7 hours a week as a fitness instructor at a small gym within walking distance of where I live.
Its pretty chill most of the time.

MEANT FOR
Manager at a software firm, in my first year so making 72k, low end of the range for this job, but I've got a lot to learn and I'm just glad to be at a company that is avoiding layoffs.
I miss writing code and basically going awol to lift 3x a week and having nobody notice, but the social gains have been incredible and there is still a little downtime here and there to get some curls in.
Attorney. Estate planning and administration. In reality, I'm a wagecuck tied to a desk 8:30-6:00 every day. I actually hate it bc it forces me to lift in the evenings, which pushes my meals to really late. Can't go out in the sun and walk 5 miles like I want. Not at all conducive to the IST lifestyle.
Take your dinner to work and eat at your desk before you leave
>no one's mentioned warehouse work yet
i thought there'd be more of us around here
I'm here, bro. We're gonna make it, r-right?
This is what I did before I joined the trades. Not bad work but definitely didn’t wanna be a lifer in the motherfricker

Postman. Opted on a driving route rn but normally they have me do walking routes, which run about 12 - 15 miles long
NEET
Coom Animator, making 50 bucks a month and growing after 10 years of grinding coom and nothing else.
Will most likely be a delivery driver or uber driver at some point.
35, have my own place thanks to wife who puts in the hours while I fail at home. Im honestly pretty sure I will rot. I didnt go to college or get any trade. I completely failed my early years (no father) and failed as a young adult. Im good with women despite being shit at my own whatever the frick im doing.
I have no experience in anything other than knowing how to drive, how a computer works, and how to animate coom. I hate it. I hate making coom with every fricking fiber of my being but stopping now when im actually making pennies an hour would be a waste.
I dont have anything else going for me and I wish I wasnt such a fricking autist that I could actually work, man up, and make a career.
I dont care how fricked everything is or that our entire existence is purely made to serve those who have more money than us.. I just want to support my wife, have a son so I can be the father I never had, and die satisfied.
But ive resigned to sudoku. Gonna earn whatever I can, give it all to the wife, and peace the frick out. I've already lost.
You’re not serious.
I wish it was a copy pasta but it aint. Literal text from someone who failed at everything. Its amazing reading this back. Im lucky I managed to get a wife who still for some dumb frick reason cares about me.

How did you remote workers decide where to live? I don’t make enough to buy a farm yet and have nowhere in particular to go other than my parents’ house.
Grocery store meat cutter.
Part time front desk at my local Ymca. People are very nice and so are my coworkers. Do practically nothing for 6 hours asides from greeting people, answer calls, and some computer work. Almost 2 years and I still don't know what's going on half the time, I just pretend I do and answer confidently to questions.
I miss delivering pizzas, if it didn't pay shit and run your car down quick I'd say it's my ideal job. As is my favorite job has been movie theater usher, which is like high speed light janitorial work.
I miss having a job that makes me sweat, desk work is killing me I can feel it.
>I miss having a job that makes me sweat, desk work is killing me I can feel it.
Gotta do what makes you happy. Life is too short. As long as you can live comfortably, do what cha like..
It's pretty good. The pay isn't the best but it's liveable. I just enjoy driving around the city.

While the schedule isn't a ton of fun, the money has improved significantly since rona and my job is incredibly easy 90% of the time. I also get to do cool shit on a regular basis. Not quite as cool as the firechads but I get to do it more regularly.
There's also such a massive work force shortage thanks to nurses stealing our candidates that we'll probably hit pay parity with them soonish
Union Electrician
2 more years of the apprenticeship but on pace for 75k this year. Zero out of pocket insurance payments, guaranteed pension, able to leave my work AT work, manual labor but usually not too terrible, dealing with real and tangible shit each and every day, and a trade I can use outside of work. I’ll be making 100k/yr in 2 years in a low COL area.

ive made more gains from doing intense manual labor and biking too and from work everyday then i have in past year of lifting
I thought i was strong before but now i am actually functionally strong. only getting stronger

Director of Growth and Strategy. Make around $270k. I'm in the office three days a week now but I took a pay cut for a much more relaxed work life balance.
5 years into the Air Force. I mainly do maintenance and installation of fiber optic cable. Fortunate enough to get a Top Secret clearance. I'm getting out in March and not sure what to do though. I have a bachelor's degree in English, which really isn't worth much. I don't like working for the government and I don't like computers.

Working full-time is fricking torture and I can't believe most people do this, does it ever get easier? Is my only hope to try and get a wfh job eventually?

there's nothing TO do other than white collar work our industry is dead. if you're not wanting a deadend job working in a cafe or tesco then I'd recommend studying up on IT / finance, at least we're still fairly respected in those regards although you'll be competing against every thirdie now that sees the UK as the new holy land for some fricking reason
