I got a job offer to work in a fish processing plant in alaska from Mid June-September
I would live in a bunk room and work 5-7 days a week for 8-16 hours a day
idk if there is a town or anything nearby or even a kitchen so I assume no gym and I would be to tired anyways
How much will this destroy my gains?
Should I just starve myself and do prison workouts?
I could afford to lose some bodyfat ive been dirty bulking since December , im 5'9" and 170lbs right now around 18-20% bf I think
I got out of the Muweens last year and have been working as an EMT for 13/hour and am sick of being poor they offer 18/hour and 27/hour after 40 hours so I could bank some cash and figure shit out after I guess
Why the actual fuck would you choose to live like a prisoner and get paid some garbage-ass barely-above-minimum wage? Use that GI bill, dude. Even if it's just for an associate's degree. Manual labor should be a "last resort" career path, it destroys your body, your job can likely be automated in the future, and you usually work with pretty weird people. You can go anywhere and do anything at your age assuming no debt. If you want to see Alaska, backpack in the summertime or something, but working a shit job in the winter? You might start playing with suicidal thoughts.
>You might start playing with suicidal thoughts.
lmao
also
>just backpack around and get an associates and a fake email job making 80k a year doing nothing

Alaska is a paradise for hunting and fishing.
That's a good backup plan.
Tons of pro hunters and fishers out there.
It's like the last frontier, a lot of people working honest jobs.
Some of us are not soft and don't mind doing hard labor to get by.
Should I move there?
My state banned “assault rifles”
There’s a reason why Alaska has high alcoholism/drug use and sexual assault/murder cases. A lot of people work these “honest jobs” with the natives then succumb to bad habits and shitty living conditions. There are pockets of decent native communities but a lot of have taken over these jobs and communities which causes crime to skyrocket because they’re paid shit for long hours and shitty times. Alaska is not glitz and glory
>working a shit job in the winter
>june-september
>just join the army like a braindead retard
hahhahahahaha
Abysmal reading comprehension, anon.
June through September is summer in Alaska, anon.
Use your gi bill you jarhead 0311 fuck. Just because staff sausage fuckface isn't in your life anymore to motivate you doesn't mean you should just fade away doing shitjobs when you have free goddamn school and the potential to make 6 digits a year doing things that don't nuke your spine and knees
bro im retarded, like memes aside im not smart
Im good at work and labor but im not smart
I was an artillery fag
There are EASY fucking degrees out there even the biggest shitbag knuckle dragging muhreen can get as long as they put the fucking work in. Stop being a pussy and work your brain muscle. You say you're good at work right? So fucking prove it and use the resources you earned grinding your joints and sanity into dust for.
>Just take on debt to get a degree
>It's not like the quality of a degree has declined as the cost has increased year in year out since the 60s
just get one of your frat bros dads to get you a job as a project manager or social media mentor!!!
I kid, but I unironically did this and make 90k a year at 23 and literally do nothing at work, hate all you want but id prefer this to back breaking labor and being poor *shurgs*
did you read the description. he is a veteran. that means, thanks to the fat teat of the US gov, his education is paid for. he could slide into a decent state college and get his education entirely paid for. pretty cash money, beats manual labor.
you are demoralized not dumb. Reflect heavily on the words I just said.
>0811
the other posters here don’t understand… that’s advanced retardation. fort sill took this man’s soul. may you find peace in the great frontier.
>Why the actual fuck would you choose to live like a prisoner and get paid some garbage-ass barely-above-minimum wage?
work contracts (esp like this) are a deal made in hell
Do what Jack Reacher does. Just walk around and collect a pension, live off of diner steak and potatoes and work manual labor when you need cash.
>and you usually work with pretty weird people.
this also, in rehab the amount of depressed anhedonic dead inside people coming from meth or fent addiction who did manual labor jobs was very redpilling
that sounds miserable lmfao, get a life dude.
what's that painting
Anon you have my respect. Good luck with the job
>Hi IST, I got offered a job to package dog food in Myanmar, Burma from early January to late December. I would live with 30 other people and huff gas fumes and animal shit every day, each work day is 16 hours long and I'll be paid 25 cents a day.
>How do I make sure I stay natty and aesthetic? Smolvo 5x5 Bodyweight?
This board is fucking horrible and people on here shouldn't breed.
sides have achieved orbit
hello IST, should I cut off both of my legs and crawl around for the rest of my life? How much will this destroy my gains?
Just don't get caught up in the drugs and hookers and all that like they have that these way out work camp jobs.
Won't have issue affording any food you need. Of course you will probably have cheap fish for protein.
Congrats on the job I knew a dude wan an EMT and saw some really crazy shit.
>Congrats on the job I knew a dude was an EMT and saw some really crazy shit.
He saw this one crime scene dude tied up multiple people around a post and blew out their brains one by one pretty brutal.
unless you're going to write a book about working in a fish processing plant (which I would read), just go to school
Society needs people like us to work blue collar jobs, lot of roughneck jobs out there too, and fishermen and hunters. Not everyone has to go to college and get a white collar job know.
Not me, I don't much like salmon
My wife grew up in Sitka, Alaska, which is where her dad started molesting her from ages 5-13.
She’s incredible in bed, and otherwise has fond memories Alaska.
Thanks for the input.
What the fuck are you non college educated anons doing that makes so much money?
those wages actually seem pretty typical to me, decent not great, but idk why everybody is flaming you OP
>Be my Grandpa born outside Portland, OR 1921.
>Have tons of brothers and sisters, most several years older or younger than me.
>Brother Eddie is only 2 years older than me.
>Me and Eddie are best friends. Hang out at our pop's bar and listen to awesome stories about The Great War. Hunt and fish for whatever we want, whenever we want. LoL what is a 'season'? What are 'bag limits'? Just get a bigger bag and hunt some more.
>Pop dies, mom can't earn enough to support the family.
>At 18 Eddie heads to Alaska to work in a fish cannery. I don't finish high school, start working odd jobs to help the family.
>6 months later I get a letter from Eddie. I'm so happy I can barely read it through my tears.
>"Hey, buddy. I miss you and the family a lot. Give my love to Mom. You gotta come up here, Alaska is amazing. The work is hard and the days are long, but the pay is great (he included a fat stack of cash for Mom), we go to town every weekend and see a movie, there's always a dance with lots of local girls. We get fed and a bed so the only thing to spend money on is having fun. You should come up here, you'll love it.
>I stay around Portland and help Mom.
>Another 6 months later, another letter from Eddie. Same as the first. Cash for Mom, lots of fun, good pay. "There's too many girls for all us working men. We can't get any rest on our days off. You'll love it up here."
>Tell Mom I'm going North to work with Eddie. She's sad, but happy that some of her boys will be back together and that more money will be coming to the family.
>Get to Alaska.
>Fuck Eddie.
>Alaska is cold as shit. Alaska is dark as shit. The work is insane, and insanely dangerous. There are no women, there are no dances.
>The shitty company movie theater has been playing the same films for months. The only entertainment is to eat the company gruel and then get blackout drunk.
>Eddie admits he lied to me because he missed me and wanted to hang out again.
>Well, shit. I guess since I'm up here I'll stay.
>Eddie and I work for another year or so.
>Japs bomb Pearl Harbor.
>LoL "What is a Jap?" What is "Pearl Harbor?"
>Eddie says we gotta enlist and fight.
>Okay
>We leave Alaska and head back to Portland to see Mom. Happy and sad tears all around.
>Eddie says we should enlist down in San Diego.
>Me and Eddie set off with our pockets stuffed with cash.
>Visit every single whorehouse between Oregon and Mexico before enlisting.
>Fight the Japs. It's awful. One of them surrenders, only to pull a grenade and kill a couple of men in my platoon.
>Japs aren't allowed to surrender anymore.
>Literally cheer when we hear about the A-Bomb.
>Not so much cheering the second time, but still happy.
>Eddie and I both make it home.
Go get a VA rating and go to your local community college. VA disability plus GI bill BAH will be thousands a month untaxed. Just lift and study and make money gay. In the end, you’ll be shredded and have a degree/make more money.
Lmao even being a shelf stocker at menards in the Midwest is almost 21/hr
You're gonna kys for 18?
Even kwikstar gas station is 17.50 starting plus profit sharing
>have been working as an EMT for 13/hour
Do amberlampsfags really
call m&ms
If you wanna be blue collared you should be building houses and shit. Or welding.
Luke Stoltman worked on an oil rig while competing in strongman iirc, you can surely work around it.
I love living in Australia. The wages are high and you don't need to be smart or have a degree to get good paying jobs here. When I read about Americans making half the money (currency adjusted) for twice the work in America it makes me baffled how "first world" countries like that actually exist.
Actual alaskan anon here, dont listen to these officer-worker gays. Go do it, its physical work but it makes good money (idk your qualifications)
Depending on the company they have some sort of gym and store for you
How the fuck do you poor retarded monkeys manage to struggle financially all your lives?
I swear it's like some people are genetically predisposed to be slaves, through their bloodlines
>I swear it's like some people are genetically predisposed to be slaves, through their bloodlines
true. no point fighting your nature
buy Solitary Fitness by Charles Bronson (spent 50 years in solitary prison and still is the henchest man out there) and just do the exercises from the book.
there's so many things you can do with a bit of creativity and your bodyweight only even
good luck
Charles Bronson is a faggy bong that uses faggy bong terms like 'press-ups'
You wouldn't say that to him in person
fuck off ellis islander
Bro this is a terrible idea. Slave wages for harder work. My brother and I joined the Navy. He signed for 4, I signed for 6. He just got out last year. He was an EN, engineman. He got a bunch of technical certifications while he was still in to work on big ship diesel engines. Now he's a civilian making $35 an hour plus healthcare. GO USE YOUR GI BILL and get a technical degree. My brother in law was also Navy, now he's a welder making $30. My cousin owns an HVAC company and makes 6 figures. You can still have a manual labor job where you don't completely destroy yourself and make a good wage on an honest day's work.
I don't understand why you're catching all this flak You'd be coming away after 3 months with a decent chunk of change and some unique life experience. I feel like you've got the right idea with going on a cut. Working long hours can be a good distraction when you're eating less
>don't understand why you're catching all this flak You'd be coming away after 3 months with a decent chunk of change and some unique life experience
agreed tbh, half the anons itt are acting like he's gonna do this for the rest of his life
(side note, I was in the white-collar world for a while, hated it, went to woods work and haven't looked back. I do have decent benefits and off-ramps to less-physical jobs in the industry, but fuck office work in a big city.).
Anyway, OP, it's 3 months, I wouldn't get too invested in any particular training plan. Have fun, use the tools you have (including e.g. trails if you're in SE AK), always leave something in the tank.
EMTs don't get paid very much. Something reassuring to remember if you ever find yourself taking an ambulance ride.
Just got back from a three month job clearing waterways and tributaries of logjams. We moved around rural areas constantly enough that getting a new gym membership wasn’t really feasible. 10-12 hour days often with long commutes, only enough time outside of work to shit, eat, shower and sleep. The only physical labor being wading around in a swamp with a chainsaw, manning winch lines, and moving waterlogged wood by hand half the time.
Maybe you’ll fare better than I did but I definitely lost some progress. I’m on my first week back in the gym and I feel like I’ve melted. My advice would be to at least try to keep your diet in check and squeeze in what maintenance you can with what you have.
Hope it's not a floating processor. My dad went to Alaska in the 90s and he saw a couple dudes die from loose equipment flying across the deck and smashing into them. He also became a chain smoker and has massive mood swings and permanently fucked up sleep since then.
Alaska's great. I'd look at this as an opportunity to get the lay of the land, so to speak, and bank cash to maybe buy property in state or at least find more permanent employment.
Alaska will test you, but you will know you're alive every day.
