yo what jobs pair well with going to the gym?
Anything in tech
>brb working from home
>brb never missing a meal
It doesn't even feel like I'm going to work and the elevated cortisol from having to sit in traffic and constantly be on edge that you're being "watched" by your boss probably takes years off your life
Tech is for beta cucks and your gains will be killed from being dead on the inside
Finance is king shit
Your seethe only conveys your envy. I bet you're an accountant lol
I'm a dev dickwad
So you're a self-admitted beta cuck? LOL
No just surrounded by them they have the low test snark as you
>tech is for beta cucks
>but not me! I'm a special snowflake!
>just look at how alpha I am for seething at this guy for recommending the very profession I chose
You got me
Yeah, I did. Now reply again you spastic puppet
someones seething and its not him you IT Golem. dont give life advice you sheltered moron
>someones seething and its not him
Yeah, it's you
Pack it in nerds, or I'll take your lunch money
>Finance is king shit
being a israelite errand boy is king shit lmao
if you can’t beat em join em
I make more money than you while you work a dead end job to avoid *gasp* le israelitez
wrong. i work in tech and get paid 6 figs to do 4 hours of work a week
Well i work in finance for 1ms a week and get paid 46 figures. I also own 500 gyms and they are all in my home. Post body? Im all the jacked ones. My watch costs as much as your house and car.
dam fr? mogged
> Making spreadsheets and sending emails for 12 hours a day is "king shit"
>Tech is for beta cucks and your gains will be killed from being dead on the inside
Harsh take but not false.
i dont have any qualification to work in tech yet
atm im enrolled in a NEET state program and i got a free software tester course and i've been waiting for this shit to start for like 6 months now
bro my patience with math stops at counting macros
>pic rel
i fricking hate math
in this shit city i'm living in, the only jobs with a gym on site is fricking janitor in the gym or personal trainer lmao
I used to hate math too but decided to go back to school to get a degree in mechanical engineering and I've gotten straight A's in all my math classes, even going for a minor in it since I love it so much. Only math class I did "poorly" in was Calculus I, and that was years ago when I had a huge ego problem and promptly dropped out a semester later.
Anyways math is based, it's real fun. I encourage everyone to at least learn calculus, once you start getting into multi-variable that's where the fun begins.
Math is based. Straight logic, structure and ideas that shape the whole world. It's very woman of you to think that way.
Maldito joto
Nerd, I'll shove you in a gym locker and creampie ur crush pussy
Tech IS for beta cucks and will kill yours gains from proximity to said cucks.
I'm a dev and all of my coworkers are either fat, or pencil necked geeks with fat wives.
I've been in this industry for 5 years and the only fitness related topics that come up are pretended by "I'd like to go but..." or "I used to do sports but...".
I'm going to retrain and go into business. I just can't stand these gays anymore
Me, explaining why a WFH tech job is GOAT
>logical point 1
>logical point 2
>logical point 3
You, moronic incel
>duahhh being close to the nerds will magically sap your gains, just like in my favorite video game!
>NO YOU CANT HATE WORKING FROM HOME
>I CANT UNDERSTAND YOU IF YOU DONT SPELL SHIT OUT FOR ME IN A CONDENSED LIST
>I HATE WORKING FROM HOME THEREFORE ITS BAD FOR GAINS!!!
>I THINK ITS STUPID AND AM TOO moronic TO EXPLAIN WHY JUST BELIEVE MEEEEE!!
Can you two morons start arguing again please
It was funny
agreed but if you have the motivation and dont have to talk to them its actually pretty comfy. i used to be a paramedic and i want to snap the neck of these histrionic homosexuals and their nonsense 'problems' but they pay me like 50% more than what i could have ever made to basically do 4 hours of work a week. and no im not guessing, ive literally been told this is how much work i have recorded per week. no one is bothered by this for some reason.
Join palantir. Everyone works out. Literally everyone does.
lol trades is the same shit except it's also physically draining
>hurr I said business
Just a warning for some anons that are about to fall for a meme
you feel your job is easy, almost no work, comfy? have fun being completely automated.
No way AI is going to take over tech work. People will have huge reservations, not to mention major beaurocracy issues with giving a robot root/administrator on everything. At least not by the time I retire (I'm 39)
This is why you work to live but don't live to work. People in the trades/physical labor jobs keep you fit when you're young but destroy your body. Have fun roofing at 52 years old
I've been working outside for the last 5 years and still look nearly a decade younger than my real age even with a full beard.
Just gotta take care of yourself, which most of these guys don't
Thats nice anon most of the guys I know in the trades have their bodies fricked by their late 40s and lots of them work under the table and don't have any sort of retirement and are basically just scraping by until they can get to their social security $ and fixed income or are claiming disability.
root access? you're a sysadmin? yeah good luck with that kek
Yep until the robots plug in and rack servers I'm not worried.
I also work for the government so we're 10 years behind everyone else and the red tape with beaurocracy turns 10 minute tasks into 10 day long tasks
>Let me tell this sysadmin
[...]
This is why you work to live but don't live to work. People in the trades/physical labor jobs keep you fit when you're young but destroy your body. Have fun roofing at 52 years old about how AI will automate his job
>As if 99% of other jobs would be better off if we truly had that kind of technology
Yeah gay, CS related jobs get complicated enough that all other alternatives would still be worse choices.
If you spent a day in tech and used ChatGPT, you'd understand how primitive AI is. Maybe in 10 years it will replace data entry jobs but LMAO if you think it is anywhere near writing entire programs let alone entire enterprise software applications
People were saying the same thing about art and writing 5 years ago anon.
Lol well for one, no they werent and two, provide a single notable news/sports/entertainment publication that pumps out articles/stories written entirely by AI.
I’m a systems engineer, VMware, Sans, windows, Linux, servers stuff like that and people have been telling me my job will be automated my whole life. I’m 15 years in. Still can’t find robots who can even manage to reboot a server or fix the specialized software that runs on Java 1.8 some 14 year old Indian kid wrote without me telling it to
Contrary to whatever nerd ITT will say, I moved from manual work to tech and you need to be moronic not to at least try.
I sit on a desk and people get me coffee, I work for like 2 hours a day and then frick around, planning my workout and social life, then I've got time and money for everything else. You haven't hurt your back at work if you think it's good for a man to do manual work for life.
what job
dude be an account executive. if you can talk to people sales can make you so much money its moronic
is account executive tech?
tech is an industry, not a job role. everyone in tech gets paid ridiculously regardless of what they do. account exec is sales and you need to at least be read up enough to understand what your product does. various execs have various skill but really good ones will have good knowledge of the software theyre selling, possibly even as much as a sales engineer or customer success manager which are more technical roles.
Do you know more about sales engineering fren? Are they based?
Looking to get into a less traditional eng role and >muh commissions
tbh i do not know more than what you could learn just reading job descriptions or searching what they do. i know some but basically you are an engineer, so the expectation is you have an intimate knowledge of the product, but your real job is trying to create a scenario using the customers current infrastructure/needs/situation/budget to create scenario in which they would implement it prior to sale. you also have to field a lot of the questions the sales guy said 'let me get you in touch with someone that knows' turfed over to you.
however, if you want commissions. your best bet is straight up sales/account exec. at my company they are the ONLY one on the sales teams that actually get the commissions and sometimes they can be in the hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars depending on how big the sale is. this is complete and utter bullshit since theres like 10 people on each sales team working on a sale and in some cases the account exec is literally just a blabbermouth that speaks well, glad hands, and sets up meetings with people that actually do the real work and the client. its a real sticking point but im sure it varies from company to company.
I'm a sysadmin, used to work at moving companies, construction, and factories.
how did you train and apply to get that job? I'm interested in doing something similar.
In all honesty, don't listen to the internet.
IST has some good guides, but they'll try to discourage you beyond that, because they're sojwaks who want to feel special for spending time jacking off to C. The reality is that the market is full of incompetent people and very high in demand; as long as you've got at least some basics down, something a year's worth of studying on the side, you're good to go, just spam your CV.
The people you'll be talking to within a month, will barely understand the autistic things you've memorized and as long as there's a github and low salary expectation and the right image to back it up, they're going to hire you. It's upwards from there.
Just find something you like. I honestly prefer my sysadmin job to web dev. It's comfy, practically no one else has similar skills around me, and it's not as linear(ly boring and frustrating) as web dev. I solve unique shit all the time and it's fun without getting too tiresome and big, little scripts that do the trick. I say dev ops and net sec are still valid and interesting paths.
Remember, the internet really is gay and not a reflection of reality. If you've carried heavy shit around to buy groceries and pay the bills, playing on your laptop while sipping on coffee for more is as good as it sounds. It's very stressful until you're in, but it only takes persistence and optimism. WAGMI.
To add to that, don't be moronic about your age. I got my first tech job at 25. No one gave a frick. Similar story with virginity. Only the unemployed/virgin thinks it matters.
Extrovert: sales
Introvert: engineer
>tech
In a few years that field will be oversaturated and shit like accounting, economics and all that stuff will need more humans
People have been saying that for 30 years
Meanwhile anybody with people skills who can actually think and get shit done without handholding or copy pasting off the internet has been making bank
> Meanwhile anybody with people skills who can actually think and get shit done without handholding or copy pasting off the internet has been making bank
What do you mean
What I mean is that being smart and able to communicate means you’ll never be outsourced or unable to find a job in tech
If you are an asocial tard who does a bootcamp and isn’t smart enough to learn how to get shit done then yeah your career might suck
If you have good communication skills and are able to actually get shit done you’ll never be outsourced to India or automated away. Nor will all the executive dysfunctional Sooners who don’t know what a file is replace you. For a lot of jobs one smart person making $250k+ will run circles around an army of 3rd world era making $40k. AI and cheap third world/zoomed labor such just makes the $250k+ folks more productive by delegating tasks
sorry I am phoneposting and didn’t edit before posting pls no bully
>economics
lol lmao. get a real job
Cope, you will get replaced by a poo.
you can already be replaced by a random number generator
Lmao I’ve heard so many people say “it’s going to be oversaturated” since I entered college over a decade ago. Why don’t you stop seething and actually try to get a tech job instead of being jealous
You provide literally 0 worth, if half of tech jobs disappeared overnight, the world will still be the same you 4 eye, pasty nerd. Women hate nerd jobs so good luck trynna find a gf

All too common. You're definitely poor. morons/nutcases are always poor
>such a materialistic israelite homosexual he thinks """money"""" matters
Enjoy beta buxing you pathetic ugly dyel moron, men who are obsessed with money don't attract attractive 10/10 virgins
nta but this post is so incredibly embarrassing to read my palm actually made contact with my face.
> I'm a total genetic dead-end loser but least I have my money
Kek delusional israelite, every loser I met in RL who bragged about how much money they had or how much money they make were ugly, manlet, dicklet or all 3. Cope and seethe, women don't care about materialistic BS.
>t. Broke, fit attractive man with a rich, hot Japanese gf who pays me whatever I want
Cope and seethe you pathetic beta bux
You’re coping and larping but it is generally true that people who obsess over their income and make it the core tenant of their personality and self worth have nothing else to offer (which is why it makes sense how income obsessed and braggadocios for us about their careers, and also bragging about working from home being socially isolated there too
>but-t-t it's a l-l-larp!
Cope and seethe losers, imagine basing your ENTIRE personality and self worth on $$$, how utterly pathetic, just like a flimsy israelite. No wonder you losers b***h and moan on why your incels or can't find a "good" girl. You provide nothing but a piggy bank to b***hes HAHAHAHA. My virgin Japanese gf could have picked anyone else but she picked my broke ass, you'll never have the love and full-service of a women by a side no matter how much $$ you have.
projection now
>women don't care about materialistic BS.
Bro, please stop.
the embarassment continues. its tragic your life is so bleak you have to come on IST and make up stories. praying 4 u bb
>uses IST language
>expects others to value his opinion
Big ooof
Go beta bux some more you materialistic israelite, money attracts prostitutes and men with no soul.
I’m not terminally online enough to understand what you’re trying to say. I am not israeli?
If you love money, your a israelite at heart. Typical Americans and their love for money, no wonder your the biggest goy for Israel
Okay sounds good bub
Have fun hating israelites and screaming into the void lol
I hope your kids get curb stomped by a feral Black person you israelite lover, materialistic prostitute.
>implying eurocucks don’t dream about making six figures
>money doesn't matter!
>seethes hard as frick at anyone who has it
Big yikes
All that money won't make your past disappear you ugly manlet incel, I bet your those loser nerds growing up who wasted their youth and care free youth and thought by making lots of $$, you'll be "successful" HAHAHAHA, money means nothing, just some numbers on a screen that can go blank with just some disruptions
>make your past disappear
>ugly
>manlet
>wasted their youth
Oof, this is some high quality projection.
Losers obsessed with money are usually one of those points, always is. I always meet these late 20s losers whose sole topic of conversation revolves around money and only money. What to buy, how to make more, how to save, etc. People of genetic quality don't obsessed with money like genetic dead-end losers do, it's why israelites are so obsessed with money
Dude you're just a poorgay coping and trying so hard to convince us (or yourself) that money doesn't matter. But the fact you are sperging out this hard while being poor only proves my point. You are literally typing like a moron
Ugly beta bux loser, cope and seethe.
See
Not every man is a beta bux loser like you anon, try being more attractive next life roll loser :)) cope and seethe
Take your meds, schizo. My wife can get you that prescription you desperately need.
I love being a man prostitute. My wife pimps me out to her friends. If it makes me beta to impregnate rich single female doctors, then call me a beta.
Of all the LARPs, you chose "stay at home husband"
I love money and have tons of it. Only people I’ve ever met who say money doesn’t matter are trailer trash poor and develop a coping mechanism for why they can’t buy their kids Christmas presents and will never be able to retire lol
I love losers posting on a gymcel board on how much money they have, really shines on light on how shallow they are, pathetic israelite. A poorgay can shoot a rich cuck and that's that, money become meaningless
>gymcel
>israelite
>cuck
You spend entirely too much time on IST and not enough time on you career
Money is awesome not because I walk around bragging about what I make, but because what miney buys is peace of mind. As someone who was once living on a friends couch, to now making 6 gigs and owning a home and having a family—what money buys you is lack of stress. I don’t have to worry about having a roof over my head, or feeding my family, and I put money in my retirement. This allows me to focus on other things like raising my kids, self improvement, fitness, cooking, etc
It’s part of a bigger picture. You should strive to be the chad you’re jealous of in life.
I don’t really see an alternative. I try to be humble, but from deciding if I wanted to pay my water or electric bill, and not going to the ER when I had a kidney stone bevause I didn’t have insurance —to being able to put $ aside for investments and having medical insurance and a roof over my head and not having to eat ramen and tuna every day—yeah dude money matters
>career
No thanks, I'm not a money loving prostitute like you who bows down to Mr. israelite to work like a dog. Even if I did want to, I'm not spending $60k and 4 years of my life for a dumb degree
I don’t work like a dog though. I make 125,000$/year and I work about 2 hours a day. I go to the gym, help do chores around the house, do diy projects, and play with the kids as most I.T. people WFH. Most people I work with do this. Only people that work like a dog are blue collar workers who are out of the house and working under the table or on commission 10 hours a day. Even finance people only work during month end close and wiggle the mouse for 3 weeks a month. Are you naive?
Also you don’t need a degree to do this job. Most people I work with started out at Best Buy on the geek squad and learned the basics of computers and started out on the helpdesk and worked their way up in their 20s.
The dirty secret is most office jobs are ridiculously easy and you don’t have to try. No one cares. I literally just didn’t do my job one week to see what would happen and no one even said anything.
If I ever get fired I’ll do what the pajeets do and just lie on my resume and cram for the interview and learn on the job.
lol you think their dads saw them doing this gay ass shit? i wonder what he was thinking
Jokes on you. I got LASIK.
>tfw I have 20/20 vision
>tfw I have girlfriend who I hit raw
Sorry to rain on your fantasy of the autistic software engineer. Cope and seethe
> destroying your eyesight
> wasting your early 20s to study like a nerd
enjoy beta buxing cuck
I hate working in tech but this is the right answer
After a while the tasks that you carry out on the job become easy as frick and not having to commute/deal with shit people irl is 10/10. It's never been easier to be a model employee with minimal effort
Just treat it as an actual job (get it done first THEN frick around) and you can have it/work out/study/have hobbies/etc
>haha god I hate working in tech
Shut the frick up
You say this but every guy I’ve met or know in tech is a basedboy that smokes pot all day and at best looks dyel.
Most guys in tech don't even lift moron. Do you even know what the subject of the thread is? Repeat it to me. Then realize how fricking moronic you are
prob job that has a gym on site or any wfh job if you have a home gym.
didnt read the thread
I'm in marketing for a multinational, working 2 days from home, hitting gym those days as well as sundays, go for runs on office days
office work, now paired with WFH, is easy as frick for most departments
And you make 150k+, am I right ?
what the frick do you even do in marketing? what the hell does a work week look like for someone in "marketing"? how does a career even get made from this?
Figuring out which troony to pay to ruin the business next
What’s a good entry level type wage cuck job for someone who can’t do retail? I just don’t have it in me to interact with that many people anymore.
I found a decent job cleaning boats that I’m gonna apply to today. Supposedly pays up to $25/hour and they don’t care for experience but I’ll see about that. Seems nice and active but not in the way stocking would be. I figure it’ll help me cut faster.
Any other ideas worth looking into?
physically demanding jobs are never a good idea if you're serious about going to the gym
i've worked as a pizza chef at a good restaurant in our town and man, after 2 days of working from 10 am to 11pm the only thing i wanted to do was to sit on the fricking pc and do nothing
the most comfortable job i had was as a back office agent at some corporation
just chilling at the pc, click here, click there, "working" lmao
but it was soul draining bro, idk what the frick happens in corporations, maybe it's the AC idk but i was starting to speak and act like a corporate robot and that's when i said enough is enough
>but it was soul draining bro, idk what the frick happens in corporations, maybe it's the AC idk but i was starting to speak and act like a corporate robot and that's when i said enough is enough
same feeling when i was an office cuck surrounded by dweebs and suits. im working with grugs now as a technician. much more enjoyable but not great for gym or wallet
I've heard something like people aren't made to want to just sit inside all day long being the reason why people in "comfortable' office jobs where they are in shelter, air conditioning/heating, don't have physically demanding work, the type of bullshit working that seems to make up most office jobs now that are based around meaningless meetings and stupid emails, that cause a complete lack of purpose. Something also about how these types of jobs don't really produce "tangible" results which also leads to feelings of uselessness.
This is true. I think a part of it is getting into office work way too early. It's such a dry environment and places that try to make it "exciting" just make it another hell in it's own way. If you have a family and past life experiences like military or tradie or something I can see it being comfy but otherwise it ends up feeling like purgatory
>physically demanding jobs are never a good idea if you're serious about going to the gym
realist shit ever man. I got a job being a box monkey at UPS a handful of years ago, thinking "wow I'll make a ton of cash and also be working out while I do it! I'll get double the gains!" when in reality it was like building the fricking pyramids in ancient Egypt. Trucks are either sweltering hot so you pour sweat from every hole or they're so cold you can't feel your fingers after an hour yet you have an hourly "packages loaded per hour" to keep or else get written up, on top of supervisors who don't know how to do their fricking job or keep any kind of order. Every day I got off and I was instantly hitting up cookout, taco bell, mcdonalds, whatever was open, and skipping the gym because I didn't want to have to go home and cook and work out a second time. Fricking horrible shit. As a temp in the holiday season it's a good way to earn some fast cash on the side because they'll hire anybody and you get like $15/hr but don't do that shit long term, it will slowly kill you and especially your gains. Every warehouse job I've had has been similar.
>Something also about how these types of jobs don't really produce "tangible" results which also leads to feelings of uselessness.
This is also spot-on. Supervisor comes around, "alright boys we got 95k today, lets get it done" bla bla bla. Then you do it. Upper management credits the supervisor and not you. Next day, 95k There is no finish line. Not even a checkpoint.
Honestly I hope you're crushing it man. A friend of mine does marketing too and is always trying to prop it up like she has the hardest fricking job on earth. "this client was an butthole because xyz!" Congratulations dumbass, I've dealt with shitty people day in and day out at all my "lesser, commoner" jobs too who were mad over nothing. b***h thinks she's special because she's her and I'm not. I'm just venting right now. Frick marketing.
lol soft skill corporate people are always worth a laugh when they start up their impotent whining.
>muh job is just sooooo hard and stressful
its just not, man. billions of people would kill to have your problems at work.
What the frick is”marketing” can someone explain?
I'm MARCOM Associate, basically I'm in charge of almost everything written that we distribute internally or externally
someone died? I write the press release. we opened a new branch? I write the announcement, etc. I will concede that its not as easy as it sounds as there are lot of stakeholders to please but definitely easier than drilling the ground or something
I work like 20 real hours per week, 10 hours of meetings, 10 hours of twitter if at office, vidya or early gym if WFH days
I transitioned from Law, marketing is pretty cool if you can get in and manage to stay in
I make like 50k EUR, which would be like 100k in US, but I have some freelance "consultancy" contracts that can earn me like another 10k EUR every year, I also sometimes ghostwrite academic essays if folk pay high enough, which can net me another 3k-7k per annum
so overall in US terms I'd actually be close to 125-150k yes, but in EU its a bit different as cost of living is like half
>Honestly I hope you're crushing it man
thanks man, its pretty comfy, I still want to move to a NGO or something if I can secure the same range as my company is a bit orthodox and I'd love a younger set of employees
I'm 28 and I'm the youngest kek
>I make like 50k EUR, which would be like 100k in US
that only like 55k a year in dollars fren
but my rent is 1500 units in Amsterdam (think New York), have 60 unit gym cost and I spend 60 units on a night out, so I can save like 2000 units every month
you might need more than 55k USD to pay rent in a nice neighbourhood in NY and save 2000 USD, and thats where cost of living index comes in
it's basically a half tech/coding, half customer service job, usually with a heavy emphasis on social media workings. A marketer is supposed to help a client pick out designs for logos, banners, etc just general shit to promote their store, brand, website, whatever, and then help those businesses get the word out there and some other basic shit like that. Sometimes building the website as well, sometimes designing the logos and shit from scratch, you get the idea.
the long and short of it is that it's easy deskwork and don't let anybody tell you otherwise. Shit is literally life on easy mode aside from the occasional butthole client and/or boss/coworkers. Sometimes "oh I had to give up my weekend because my boss called me in and I had to work on my day offfff :~~*" which happens at every job anyways. As if getting called in on a day off is exclusively a deskwork problem. I'd much rather get called in at a deskwork job over a construction zone job. Bunch of whiny homosexuals trying to prop up their meager lives like their problems hold any weight outside of their own head.
that's what I'm saying man. These people live the softest and most cushioned lives. I wish I could somehow have all these keyboard warrior desk jockey butthole friends of mine do some of the jobs I've done for a month or two so they'd all know how good they have it, and even then the jobs I do are probably in the top 10% of the world just by virtue of being in the USA. Absolutely embarrassing. And then half of them don't even go to the gym to have anything to show for it either. I didn't either but at least I had a relatively viable excuse, but sitting down typing all day with zero gains to show for it? They're also super unrelatable. When I was a box monkey I got along great with this plumber I knew by proxy because we could shoot the shit about work and tell war stories. But what kind of war stories would a desk jockey possibly have? They can't conceptualize actual hard work.
This is why I get so angry about office workers complaining about their jobs
You guys don't get it. If you got payed to watch paint dry 8 hours a day, you would go insane and want to quit. Same thing
Then quit and do something else
>these guys are crying about being forced suck wiener for 40 hours a week. Why don't they just take it up the ass 60 hours a week and less pay?
See the predicament? See how silly you sound?
All I said was you can do something else. No one said it had to be for more hours and less pay
I had a job a couple months ago where all I did was guide archeologists through a desert. Every time we found anything metal, they had to stop format least 45 minutes so they could take notes on it, while I just sat there and watched. I fricking loved that job.
its a bit soul crushing but anyone who works office jobs for less than 50 hours shouldn't complain that hard yes
you could see me complaining to another officecuck but never to a blue collar chad as I'd hate to look like an asshat, which would be accurate
I mostly just complain because my boss is a control freak c**t.
i went from blue collar to white collar and ive noticed that perma desk jockeys that have had cush jobs since they finished their bachelors are oftentimes boring and hyper neurotic. i dont think its very good for your mental development and yet they think theyre super frickin smart for unknown reasons. software engineers are the worst of these imo. frickin nerds
exactly man. I will never understand. If I ever do land some do-nothing desk job I'll be glad I have all of this actual experience under my belt beforehand, firstly because I know I'll appreciate the more lax work environment more, and secondly because I'll know how to relate to the other guys. People who have only worked desk jobs end up being generally uppity and look down on others for no reason. They don't realize that the construction workers, plumbers, box monkeys, arguably even cooks and waiters have a more important spot in the general society than they do because without those people nothing important gets done.
Like my marketing major friend I was talking about earlier for example. If she lost her job or her company got shut down, absolutely nothing happens. Maybe a website is late to launch or goes down, whatever, nothing important to any relevant part of anyone's life. But if UPS were to shut down, or any of the truck driving lines, etc a frickload of people and companies are absolutely fricked since everything relevant needs logistics to operate, food and medicine being at the top, with paper and shit like that too. These white collar c**ts don't realize that without the people they look down on, their favorite liquor doesn't reach their favorite bar, their favorite fish doesn't reach their favorite sushi place, etc etc whatever white collar normies do. But also they don't get the papers to turn in to their boss by Friday which hits their deadlines hard, rippling toward the customers and such. Yet they act so above it, as if being a professional keyboard warrior is something to be proud of and elevates them somehow. Baffling. They'll work themselves to death in the same room for the next 50 years to buy their boss a fourth summer house, with no sunlight and no concept of how meaningless their position is. Truly a special type of purgatory.
You can feel that way all you want but you can look at when the Covid lockdowns happened and the wageslaves were called “essential workers” while the white collar people just worked from home making tons of money while the wageslaves slaved away.
Sure these white collar workers in tech, marketing, etc provide literally nothing of value and their jobs have no purpose, but the wages say different
My job was still more important than white collars especially during covid. It had the complete adverse effect on shipping companies. More people at home with an extra $1400 in their pocket from the stimulus meant prime pickings for Amazon and the like, as well as constantly shipping containers of the jab, people ordering groceries for whatever reason, buying new shit day in and day out, etc. Every day for 2 straight years was basically Christmas eve with the amount of shit being moved. White collar jobs come and go at the drop of a hat, but the mail has to run period. As well as plumbing, construction, etc. It's not about the payment, it's about the difficulty of the work. Also during the covid lockdowns, the white collar workers weren't allowed to do anything unless that thing was already at their house. No restaurants, no movies, no gym for a lot of people, can't even go to the park, etc etc. Not the strongest point to make. A lot of time to just sit at home and either read, vidya, or consoooom with no alternatives.
>Sure these white collar workers in tech, marketing, etc provide literally nothing of value and their jobs have no purpose, but the wages say different
this is true as a whole in the states so it's almost a non argument. Like how your job and mine are both objectively more important than LeBron James or Taylor Swift, but who among us are the millionaires? Everything about this place is backwards, but also I think it has to do with the fact that UPS has way more employees than every US-based marketing firm combined as well as offering insurance and benefits to the full timers and management (which is a lot) so they are more incentivized to hit a middle ground as far as hourly pay goes without destroying their bottom line, but it still stays on par or better than other jobs around that also don't require higher education generally. Techs just play more directly with big fish hence the bigger pay, I'd guess, but still worthless work overall.
we make billionaires more money and we keep the illusion that the money laundering scheme known as big tech is a legitimate industry. whats more essential than that in this modern age?
>the money laundering scheme known as big tech is a legitimate industry
The thing I have never truly understood is what are all the people in tech doing? Honestly, I truly do not understand it. I know that these tech companies I guess make software or whatever, but what benefits are they providing society? It seems like "big tech"'s main purpose is to harvest data and sell shit to you, and the smaller tech companies, I don't even understand where their products or software are even going. Startups, all this shit. I don't get it. I truly don't.
Used to work as an EMT doing 24 he shifts am now a software engineer who is IST. Whatever you want to believe, everyone is in control of their health, I’m a software engineer who is fit and I can tell you, the people I used to work with were bitter/angry/ornery on the whole, just like you. There’s no glory in breaking yourself for a job. There’s other ways of finding meaning in life besides the thing you do to pay your bills. You’re fixated on
>job must give me life fulfillment
That’s not the case for most people and yet many people find fulfillment in a hobby, their family, their community, etc
>literally everyone on fit no matter what they studied or what job they did in the past is now a software engineer
It’s really amazing
There’s a lot of these jobs and it’s complicated how I got into it, I’ll spare you the details but chose to get more educated as well. You can too
you didnt read the thread homosexual. now hurry up, my takeout is getting cold
you're projecting, or I'm wording things poorly. My intention was not to just continuously hammer home the idea that desk jockeys who have always been desk jockeys are homosexuals who can't conceptualize actual hard work. It was to hammer home the fact that any blue collar job is, and was, more important than any white collar job, as a whole and also during covid when the other anon brought it up.
I don't seek fulfillment at my job, far from it in fact, but I'd go as far as to say that the more involved your job is then the better it is, objectively. You feel a lot better about the work you do roofing than you do making spreadsheets and sitting in meetings for those same 8 hours. But ultimately we're all part of the same rat race. You yourself are actually a great example of the point I wanted to make originally; Your software engineer job is cushy and probably significantly less stressful (but not stress-free of course) and pays a lot, but you working as an EMT was absolutely more important than anything you'll ever achieve typing on a computer and in meetings surrounding it.
> the fact that any blue collar job is, and was, more important than any white collar job
Lol
> Your software engineer job is cushy and probably significantly less stressful (but not stress-free of course) and pays a lot, but you working as an EMT was absolutely more important than anything you'll ever achieve typing on a computer and in meetings surrounding it.
Who gives a frick about work being rewarding and helping people? Are you fricking 12 years old?
All that matters is working to live, living to work is for gays
Personally blue collar work made me want to go into white collar work. Really sucked ass losing a month of pay after I injured myself roofing
>reddit spacing
homosexual. It's not about helping people, it's about being a more valuable job objectively. If everybody lost their cushy code monkey job, the world would function the exact same way when you wake up the next day. Notice how Musk fired all the twitter devs and it still runs just fine? Its almost like 99% of coding and development jobs don't matter at all. I had a blue collar job, then got a promotion into a white collar title at that same workplace, and it was like being in a fricking prison. Coding, software engineering, development, etc etc doesn't do anything. It doesn't provide anything for the everyman's life other than arbitrary bullshit like social media and video games and other nonsense like that, which everyone would probably be a lot better off without anyways.
>verification not required
Your points are all valid but they are meaningless because people need to make money so no one cares about the “value” their jobs provide.
You're still being ordered around, worked like a chinese sweatshop whenever your boss feels like it and if you say no, you get kicked out. Even if you worked 10 years in construction, the only thing you probably made of value was adding another floor to an office building. So useful wow!!!! Oh wait, they imploded the building and nothing of value was lost.
Face it, you're not in a colony sim making an empire from scratch. Quit LARPing as a roman architect.
Ultimately we should all just be farmers, fisherman, and builders then because we don’t need electricity, the internet, cars, art, music, books, inventory systems, hvac, plumbing, etc
We should have just stopped all technological innovation in 500BC. It’s all meaningless and provides no value anyway. All we really need is fire, food, water, and shelter
you're just being pedantic and you know it. Surprise surprise, electricians are way more important than programmers because without electricians, programmers can't do their jobs AND don't get power to their homes.
you're right. My original post was just venting about desk jockeys who think their job is difficult when all they've done is push buttons in a comfy chair in the air conditioning. I guess we've come full circle.
construction is still objectively more valuable than programming and coding will ever be. Until you can somehow digistruct or automate the means to replace the need for blue collar jobs, they will be more important than coding no matter what size the pay gap is. Cope and seethe all you like but it's true. Your job simply isn't nearly as important as you've been conditioned to believe.
Instead of owning the techlibs, you could be working on fixing my pipes homosexual.
The best part about my tech job and wfh is I do all the trade work on the side myself and take money away from blue collar idiots
Literally DIY’ed my entire house, and then bought a house and flipped it. Did the roof. Painted. Installed the tile and flooring. Made 100$k for about a month if work
Blue collar people don’t think big picture. There’s a reason they didn’t get into college
Fun fact, I had an interview for a research and development for a company and I had a blast during the interview. They also let me see how they work around and it wasn't as soulless as my first engineering job. Sadly, I had to decline the offer due to other circumstances, but I would definitely apply to that position in the near future. It also depends on the people you hang out with. My current coworkers are grug core but they are good people even if they are doing a soulless job.
>but it was soul draining bro, idk what the frick happens in corporations
Its the knowledge that HR people are watching you.
I used to work in a student cafe where i'd happily make racist jokes, call my bros morons to their face, and bang my coworkers. Now i can barely squeeze through small-talk with my close colleagues.
I love the money, but this is poison for someone in their mid-20's
If it’s poison, then leave. But you won’t because then you have nothing to complain about
contract catering can be one. you usually work in a museum or in a food court of an office. You work around 8 hours between 6am and 5pm (depends on the opening time of the place), you get at least 1 meal a day, and don't have to deal with the stress of normal restaurants. If it's an office, you won't work in the weekends either.
You get time to go to the gym before or after (I used to go in the morning), and still have time to learn a skill or start a business on the side.
You can start in the washing up area and do food prep in a week or so if you aren't moronic and can cut vegetables.
Do NOT work in restaurants or in fastfood, they are gains goblins in every possible way.
IT
>leave for 4 hours to go to gym
>no one notices or cares
my job consists of answering my coworkers to make them think im at my desk working and replying back to users with inane questions that i dont need the answer too so i can punt actually doing anything for a week. i have glowing reviews from my manager and team members btw
oh look, it's a fit jobs thread. i haven't read a single comment but let me guess, all the posts so far are saying how everyone is working from home in tech/finance making 250k a year while barely doing any work right? people with the easiest most envious lives on the planet?
They can get fired any day now it's recession in IT now, no free lunch etc
oh, and dont forget that they were "NEETs" in their 20s and suddenly gained enough IQ points to be able to finish 4 year degree and a get a 6 figure job right from school, then slay prime 18 year olds to cope with their loser life in their youths
That’s not true at all. All the tech work from home millionaires in here have likely been geniuses since childhood
ah yes, why of course, tech companies just LOVE paying 6 figures to some dyel late 20s-early 30s, balding, pasty "High IQ" person who does only 3 hours of real work per week while lifting, playing video games, going on IST and slaying prime, tight 10/10 college girls
Yes, clearly they do, considering literally everyone on fit does this
University faculty. University gyms are typically top notch, and depending on your job you might get faculty access to it for free.
Is it worth it to get a PhD and switch from admin to faculty? Each seems to have pros and cons.
>too tired to lift after wagecucking for 8 hours
homosexual. I slaved away for 8 hours a day in a warehousing moving boxes by hand constantly with little break save for a 30 minute lunch separated by two ten minute breaks. Fix your sleep, prioritize your health and basic necessities, and you can easily secure successful progressive overload whilst performing heavy duties. Desk jobs run the risk of fricking with your urination frequencies.

- get to be outside a lot
- have to do strenuous hikes sometimes while moving equipment
cons:
- have to sometimes work in areas where there is no gym available
Most of the time office job.
I'm a lawyer and find the time to go to the gym, but you have to take into account that :
- I don't drink
- I don't smoke
- I have no gf
- I'm very careful with my sleep schedule

I’m a sysadmin in IT. Most days I work about 2 hours and then head to the gym around lunch and stay for an extra hour. I make 150,000$:year and I don’t even know how to login to Linux consistently. I stretch 2 hour tasks into 2 days. It’s based. I hunt, garden, and fish. I don’t really care if people think tech is “gay” or “low test” you know what’s awesome? Being a time thief and getting paid for not fricking working.
and how the frick would someone get a job like this?
Easy, you go into IT and work decently hard in your 20s on the helpdesk and then move up the chain, then you apply at a new place and tell them you make 10K more than you actually make and so on. Do this 3x and then once you know what you're doing the work becomes easier and you do project work instead of support. If you go into IT security its super easy since IT Security is mostly bullshitters who can't cut it as sysadmins and do moronic shit that vulnerability scanners find. After Covid most places are 90% remote. Also, if the company says they're "AGILE" sign up immediately. AGILE is moronic bullshit that does nothing but make everyone unproductive and bullshit their way through the work week.

Military is nice in this regard. Everyone around you has a vested interest in your physical health. Current fitness routine with the unit I'm with right now:
>Monday: Get out of work early in the afternoon to workout on my own.
>Tuesday: Meet with unit in the morning at gym for accountability; break off and workout on my own
>Wednesday: Get out of work early in the afternoon to workout on my own
>Thursday: Meet with unit in the morning at gym for accountability; break off and workout on my own
>Friday: Only day we have to wear PT Uniform. Meet with unit in the morning at the gym for accountability/announcements; break off and workout on my own
>Saturday/Sunday: Rest or workout if I feel like it
Only downside is you're essentially legally required to be in the gym for a minimum of one hour Mon-Fri. Sounds fine, but it can get packed in the weight room and I end up saying "frick it" and hopping on a cycling machine for an hour and watching youtube.
I’m a geologist and work from home

>meme job and full of useless mid brainlets
Yup, like clockwork, everyone on fit is a 6 figure tech worker barely doing any work at all. Always the same story day after day, thread after thread.
Don't fall for the demoralization shitposts.
Just work normal jobs and avoid online scams.
Find a creative side hobby or two so you don't go mad or have a nice day like normalgays did during the covid """lockdown"""

Hey everyone I’m in tech ? Are you in tech? Do you work in tech? Tech is tech and I work in tech. Its tech work that I do working in tech, technically. While I technically work in tech, my tech work is tech adjacent but still tech and tech is good because it’s tech. Any tech bros know the tech I’m talking about in tech?

>every single fit poster a millionaire tech worker/software engineer working from home doing no work ever
Yep pretty par for the course. Sometimes I wonder what its like to have a life as incomprehensibly incredible as everyone on this board has.
I deliberately come into fit career job threads to get even more angry, miserable, and despondent about my own life and hope that it eventually gives me the courage to actually kill myself rather than just thinking about it 24/7. Being exposed to a site that’s supposed to be full of “losers” but everyone actually has a life most people dream of is working.
what if i told you they were all separate people and that the guy with the 10 inch penis works at the grocery store as a shelf b***h and the millionaire software dev is an ugly virgin in in his late 30s and the 10/10 mogger chad actually has horrible self confidence and was held back a grade?
But that’s not true at all. I guarantee you the tech work from home millionaires posting in here right now are all Chad is every aspect of their life. Even on IST everyone has won at life.
Quit my job last month because I didn't earn enough for the stress. Now I'm just looking for something to do online, even if I make minimum wage I'm happy. Unfortunately returning to neetdom has sapped me of all ambition and I've been jerking off 8 times a day since.
Just do what everyone else on fit does, become a software engineer so you can live like a neet from home while making a quarter million a year
>become a software engineer
can I learn that from home? or would I need to go to school for 3 to get proof. I want to work for myself, not still be a wagie at home.
work for the government. Public Service is the best area to work for, as your guaranteed a pension, never can get fired, make decent money and can do frickall at work most of the time. I even got laid off recently and i still collect paychecks as i'm still on the payroll, getting paid to smoke weed and shitpost is a bliss
What area of government
Admin. Total joke of a job, i mog 99% of my coworkers as ost of them are fat old women and ugly shitskins.

Probably something physical where you can get gains while you work. Some construction jobs are more chill than others. And working in parks always seemed pretty fun from the people I knew who did it.

I unironically do work in tech but I'm considering leaving for a comfy government job.
Gee what a hard decision. Must be tough having a perfect working life, either a highly paid cushy tech job or a highly paid cushy government job.
If my highly paid tech job was cushy I wouldn't be considering leaving it now would I smooth brain?
Marines if you can stand the humiliation of being a part of the military. If they want you to go to war you can quit by taking an unauthorized day off and smoking a ton of weed that day.
If you somehow avoid combat just make sure you get injured on the job enough to ensure that you get disability upon discharge. Do not forget to do this.
At that point you get paid to stay at home as NEET and can workout all you want.
best injury for this?
so heres what it is. billionaires, banks, VCs (billionaire fronts) give money to startups. startups then "develop" their product without making any sort of profit and this allows people to claim absurd valuations on this company using clever marketing and buzzwords. they then "sell" their product to other startups but usually its quid pro quo so startup B wont buy the product unless startup A agrees to buy their product. this makes it seem like the absurd claims really are working and the companies adoption is growing at a meteoric rate and you really better get on this rocket now before you miss your chance. its important to note that neither startup A or startup B are profitable and the money they use to operate or purchase anything probably comes from the exact same billionaires and VCs. every once in a while, companies that arent in on the grift buy the product, usually because sales reps have connections that move from company to company and just agree to buy whatever the rep is slinging at that point in time. dumbass investors fall for the grift by investing once the startups go public. more money gets pumped into the system. the billionaires end up cleaning up because they eventually pull the plug on whoever and take whatever money is on the table with them.
i pull all of this out of my ass completely, but these are my observations so far as someone who is working in tech and doesnt understand it either.
Tough call, I'd aim for something that doesn't impact your hobbies. Personally I'd go for deafness in one ear.
>as someone who is working in tech and doesnt understand it either.
so what is your job in tech then?
i work in internal systems so not on product development. i know about the quid pro quo stuff because we are constantly implementing moronic tools we dont need and every time its because its a stipulation of some sales deal.
>i work in internal systems so not on product development.
what in the frick does this even mean? i saw a meme where people in these moronic tech companies can't say their job title in less than 3-4 words because of so much bullshit attached to them
>Anon too moronic to understand what an internal or production system is
>Lashes out at the world
Get to sleep, wagie. You need to be back in the warehouse at 5AM!
i make-uh da compooter work so da salesmen can send dey emails and hilarious work memes on slack. i make sure da server has all da lights on and da wifi stay blinking. its basically it. but you can be in hr and still work in big tech. its not a role based distinction. the industry is fricking wacked though.
actually just think of me as a computer jannie. thats basically what i am now that i think about it.
Well I know someone who faked a back injury and was constantly going to medical about it. The only problem with that is it will be very obvious to your coworkers that you are committing fraud if you continue to hit the gym. I just recommend going to medical for every little thing and do some research if you want to fake things.
Become a project manager, especially in IT. Easy as piss work and pays well. Contractors in Australia for PMs make anywhere between $130-$150/hr without being a senior.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm pretty moronic besides knowing a lot about tech and lifting.
If it makes you feel better I'm in a similar boat anon. I'm 31 and fully expected to be dead by now so didn't really take full advantage of the opportunities I had and now am living at my parents place unemployed.
you are in the bay area as well? or just "im upset i didnt get into tech"?
oh no, that sounds so terrible.

>Sit in a stinky office chair all day
>Always expected to train and keep current off hours so you don't get automated out of a job or something at some point.
Getting paid to do chores and run errands is nice though.
And the money's good yeah, but unless you have all other aspects of your life in place, tech is all consuming. You numb those missing pieces with your expendable income and tell yourself you'll retire early (hahaha) but you won't and so on.
Consider yourself lucky and move into a field where you interact with others and can remain a part of society in some way without being pigeonholed. Only scratching the surface btw
Anon. There were millions of tech dudes that got laid off earlier this year.
It's all bullshit to try and make you mad and upset.
Yes, I know there are. It was relatively big news here in the area, if I gave a crap about following news. But I'm sure all the people who got laid off got their massive severance packages of tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars to sit at home and apply for other jobs in the industry that they probably got no problem. Although I wouldn't know since I don't talk to anyone.
The only thing that those massive layoffs made me think was giving me an even bigger feeling that the tech industry is a scam and more anger I felt about hearing how tech workers barely do any work yet still get all their benefits or working there. How were these companies able to sustain thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of jobs for months/years that they were able to completely cut bait on? What the hell were all these people doing all day for months and years working remotely or in their offices if they could all be cut just like that?
the computers print money
My company did layoffs but it was only like 5-10% of people and most of the people that I knew that got laid off found new jobs quickly
Why must you all seethe so much about tech jobs, just get a CS degree and get one. Or don’t, but stop complaining about it regardless
Hello neighbor. Most of the time when we brag about how little work we do we are joking, some weeks I really do work very little but other weeks a lot. We get paid a lot because big tech companies make a shitton of money per employee and we deal with business content that either are seeking to make shitton of money or already make a shitton of money. I saved my company $2m/year this year by making a thing faster; the company now makes that much more every year with no further work. That is why we get paid a lot
>Why must you all seethe so much about tech jobs
i seethe about them because i am extremely jealous and despondent that i spend my entire life in the tech region and did absolutely nothing to be involved in it. i dont think i ever could have been an engineer or programmer because i am a mouth breathing invalid moron but maybe something else, since i have never shown a single iota of interest in working in tech in my entire life
also i seethe because people in the tech industry seem very annoying but probably just more of my jealousy talking
They’re almost all recruiters or DEI folks at collaborate who massively over hired. They aren’t actual employees.
Stop being a b***h. I work 10 hour days in industrial maintenance and still lift 5 times a week
"tech" is a soul crushing field full of strange freaks, and everyone I know who went into it has some sort of strange social personality condition or mental illness. also they tend to be mental DYELs even if they "exercise".
that being said any white collar professional hybrid remote job would probably be best for fitness (law, management, marketing, etc), especially in a public sector. I've worked manual labor and even the white collar ones where you're on your feet a lot (nursing, logistics, teaching) can be very tiring and not worth the pay. teaching is another very good choice but ONLY if you can get into a good district or school and don't mind the low pay.
Cop. Raises your test while working. Something about knowing a fight or shootout could be lurking around every corner on a call got me into a state that felt like blasting. Badge bunnies everywhere so got test dumps through sex too. There's some genes or personality types that can't handle it and they become less healthy, balloon up and shave multiple years off their life. They're likely too afraid and dumping bad hormones rather than helpful hormones. You can tell who those are because they're fat, bald, and have cortisol face.
So being a cop is like military but also sex.
Good to know.
There’s sex in the military, maybe not what you’re hoping for tho
Anon I'm literally considering becoming a cop just because it's well paid. The thing is I fricking hate people and I don't give two shits about their dumbass problems causing trouble for everyone. Would you still rec being a cop even though it's dealing with c**ts and Black folk all day?
What state and what agencies are you considering? I'll give you a QRD.
It'd be nyc because I'd be living with my brother for a while and getting on my feet (i'm an expat). I'd probably wanna leave to a smaller town in the south once I'd saved up enough. Being a cop isn't on my mind as a 'career', but maybe a 5 year stint. I'd be a firefighter if I could but I'm pretty sure I'm too old.
This is what I'm worried about. That I might snap and go full police brutality. The other thing is if I can even be mercenary enough to do enforce minor laws I don't care about.
I'm amused you're a medic cuz I considered that a life career too but I don't wanna deal with drugged out addicts and giving kids cpr while neglectful parents shoot heroin needles.
bro. do not become a medic. stay tf away. i tell everyone this. it is one of the worst jobs you can have. youre a people jannie. no pay. no respect. shit conditions. shit bosses. shit patients. shit partners. seriously just fricking say no. you could be a cop in oakland. they dont do shit unless its a violent crime or traffic control. but of course you will be under the auspices of the house of saint floyd
Being a cop can be stressful and you often find lots of cops who drink heavily after work. My brother had to apprehend a school shooter, often encounter people who want to kill you or are just plain crazy and can't be reasoned with.
DESU, I know the pay isn't as good, but I would try to be a cop in a small white town just outside of the suburbs. Something with like a 20-man department. You basically write little old ladies ticket and settle domestic disputes and arguments over people mowing the lawn too early on weekends. All the perks of being a cop with pension and discounts and all that but none of the bullshit they have to deal w/ in the cities.
if you think youre going to start abusing your power and being a shit cop, id just as soon tell you to rope instead. hating people is a bad way to go in public safety because you are dealing with them all day and even if you arent outwardly a dick it will start eating you inside and youll get really bad burnout which you do not want. its not a joke.
t. medic for 6 years that hated people and had to leave or was gonna blow my brains out literally.
I'm just a jannie, short hours, decent pay, legs never looked so toned
>yo what jobs pair well with going to the gym?
Drug dealer or pimp, the choice is yours
Career? Police and firefighter, police is sort of required to get on juice and train. Fire, youll be able to train at work a lot of the time and eat with your bros and build comradery. If you just want a job, serving is pretty good, get lots of steps in, work with young and hot girls, very fun atmosphere if you're at a good restaurant so good for social gainz, but not really a career. But Im serving now as I work towards firefighting and I enjoy it.
crazy how everyone here has a 6 figure wfh job where the only "work" involved is checking their emails
anyway unless you're doing manual labour all day you really shouldn't make any excuses and just wake up earlier if it's so hard going after work
>yeah so im not a cop or a firefighter but here's what it's like
why do people love parroting things they've only heard and haven't experienced like they're an authority on it. it's not at all common to juice or even lift as a cop shut the frick up
All the cops I train with are pretty jacked and quite a few are definitely on something. But I train at an MMA gym so that may obviously skew my view I guess.
I know a bunch of firefighters too and its apparently an excellent gig.
finance in industry
im a financial controller and i havent exceeded 8 hours ever. i have 2 days a week for free at the gym next to the job as a benefit, i go in the mornings to avoid the 17:00 laziness, the other 3 days i take home office and do frick all
Just landed a job where I'll be climbing mountains all day in Idaho for about 2400/week. Pretty excited. Should last all summer.
>be on fit job thread
>I will make six figures for climbing mountains
Yep
I expected more people on this board to be like me and use their bodies, but everyone ITT is apparently a software engineer or whatever. Personally, I would hate to be stuck in an office
Apparently everyone on this shithole site makes 6 figures while doing absolutely nothing. I'm surprised the economy can survive despite all these anons making over $100k/Y for playing video games and shit posting
Why? Are you stupid? Do you think billionaires get rich by being smart or working hard? You just get lucky. Right place, right time, right money. Sit around and fake like you're busy. Take home your pay and buy yourself some good shit.
Only naive morons think becoming rich is by hard work or being smart. I known man's who worked hard and tried their best but died working for peanuts and never succeeded meanwhile some ugly Indian manlet I know just got a bank job making 6 figures through a family connection despite having 0 experience and working previously in McDonald's
How is that possible to go from fast food to a 6 figure finance job? I call bullshit
This isn't true. Ever since I've been on my grindset I've doubled my income and put a down payment on my first commercial rental property. I will retire by the time I'm 35. Hard work and smarts pay off--only lazy morons say otherwise.
True for hard work but false on the smart thing. The world is FULL of people who bust their asses and get ground down to the nub for pennies, but there's also myriad ways to improve your financial situation which involve next to no extra effort. Primarily just spending less money, being a miser is free and fun. Everyone should invest any extra cash, either in $SPY if you're smart or something else if you're ballsy, never an index fund. Living with someone for lower rent (yes, having a GF is good for finances as long as she pays her share), etc. That said, there's millions of people who are just plain fricked if they get cancer or whatever, so I'm not saying the system is fair by any means. But there's things you can do. Pinch pennies and don't bother working hard.
im assuming youre a guide? i hear guiding is a pretty decent job if youre worth a shit and like it. hunting guides apparently can clean up too so you can help office jockeys feel like men once a year
Not this time, but I am the anon who mentioned escorting through the desert. It'll be me and a buddy from that deseet job surveying the mountains for metal materials and other out of the ordinary shit.
oh for sure. im assuming this is for a mining company? or is it an eccentric billionaire looking for aliens?
I deliberately come to fit job threads to hear about how smart, rich and successful everyone is while doing limited work so that it drives me closer to suicide
Any anons work in EMS? What's the work/life balance like for you? Can you maintain your gains?
terrible and no. just read through the thread.
My wife is a M.D. I am a stay-at-home-husband. On Monday’s, I do my chores for the week (allowing me to have the rest of the week to frick around), then go to the gym. Hit the gym 5 days a week, then the missus and I go hiking, etc., on her days off.
is this thread a larp? do you all really have tech jobs that pay well and allow you complete freedom
So am I to understand that literally everyone on fit is rich?
Oh wow you mean white Americans posting during work hours on a weekday on a super conservative website are wealthy? Incredible!!!
This thread is to suggest strategies to have a fit life while making a living. Tech is a way to do this. It’s obviously causing a lot of people to be upset. I’m one of the engineers replying above but no I do not make a ton of money because it is my first job in it and I need some experience first before I can command a higher wage. IRL people don’t just give you money for nothing, but I’m sure some of the people in here who have been doing it awhile make a lot. The people who are saying they do nothing and make a lot of money are lying. They have valuable skills that they’ve built up over years, skills that you too could get if you decided to educate yourself, and now in this present moment perhaps they feel like they’re doing nothing but in reality they have rare and valuable skills if they don’t work that many hours and make good money. This is possible and you too could do this and live a fit life. Apparently this causes the incels to absolutely seethe
They provide 0 value, absolutely meaningless work. In a just society, those anons would require min wage, and that's it. What tangible skills or worth do these morons bring to the table? Nothing. If your job cant be summed up in only 3 words, it's not a real job. Cope and seethe
>providing people internet and IT security provides zero value
Tell me more
Without your shit tier job, world will still continue and strive. You provide 0 beneficial value, it's all a giant ponzi scam. Tech is the biggest meme out there
No shit
Without cars we would go back to horses
Do you think what you’re saying is revelatory?
It’s not like we don’t know. We just don’t care because we get paid copious amounts of money to do absolutely nothing. We hit the jackpot
What do you do
He's a front-end developer
See
are my posts
>systems engineer
Of course
the mind of a moronic wagie cannot comprehend the needs of large companies.
Literally every single person on fit has a 6 figure job, millions in net worth, own property, have family, etc. It’s really incredible how some of the most well off people in society gravitated to this IST board
It’s because most of us started off on /b/ for the lulz in the late 2000s and grew up, got families, and make 100,000/year which is pretty normal salary if you’re white and over 30. You think everyone just stopped coming to IST? Nah we just headed to the hobby boards and are killing time while we’re stuck on soul sucking meetings
100,000 a year is actually basically poverty level, not even just “normal”
https://dqydj.com/income-percentile-by-age-calculator/
Over 10% of people over the age of 27 make 6 figs or more.
But that number is 90% on fit
You think poorgays are going to brag about being poor? What you're seeing is the 10% coming here to dunk on you

Any as long as gym is open outside working hours.
I love being a neet. Haven’t had a job in 6 years.
How do you pay your rent? Your bills? Do you live with your mommy
Live alone. Two bedroom in a rural red state. Rent is $500. My house is surrounded by a forest, so it dies not get ungodly hot in the summer, so I need not use the AC. I make $1700 per month in gibs.
>1700/month
I would at least work under the table and get that in about 2 days. So many ways to make money under the table. The trades, collecting people’s old shit and fixing it up and re-selling it. Landscaping for old people, drug dealing, fixing cars, etc
Then you could at least go on vacation if you wanted or buy a nice gun and some ammo, whatever
>collecting people’s old shit and fixing it up and re-selling it.
can you redpill me on this? I've been interested in this for a bit but don't really know how to break into it other than I guess Craigslist and fb marketplace
I could, but I am not hurting for money. I am content. I spend my free time walking in the forest, reading books, writing various books (two novels, a collection of short stories, and some plays), and browsing IST. I just downloaded a few hundred books on gardening, so I am going to study how to grow my own food. It’s a simple life and I am happy. I traveled all over the world for my old job and found traveling really fricking lame and for boring people.
I garden during the work day but like I said I make 125,000$/year and work 2 hours a day. My garden is about 1/2 acre. Gardening is fun and rewarding as is hunting and fishing. Just bought 40acres to hunt on and gunna build some blinds. Again, while I’m getting paid to do my other job that I just don’t do and no one notices. Perks of being a small fish in a big pond
The guy said he is happy living his simple life and you can’t help but respond again just to again repeat and brag how you make 125,000 a year while doing no work and how you do all the same stuff he does.
You are so fricking insufferable. People like you need to die.
I’m not bragging about it you fricking idiots
I’m saying I can do everything you can do as a neet and work 10 Hours a week for 2-3x the money. I’m encouraging you to do better in life since you seem to care about making a difference or something. I’m simply explaining to you the system is rigged and if you know how to play the game—this is the way to go. You can make copious amounts of money doing basically nothing with minimal effort.
I’m glad you’re happy, I’m just saying if I told you you worked 10 hours a week and tripled the amount of $ coming in every month you wouldn’t Do if? I call bullshit.
Another response to keep bragging about how much money he makes while doing no work. Frick off already.
Xhe still refuses to post paystubs. Probably a 2nd year undergrad LARPing. Such a fricking loser.
>post w2s on IST
Lol
Only a tradie would be this moronic
If you’re ranking peoples careers based off who needs what, then IT people are the most important of any white collar job behind the electricians, since no one can login to their computers without them
The most important job in society is probably farmers then. Since without them, we would have to grow our own food.
Guess what? Most farmers fail and have to sell their farms. Because it isn’t financial viable.
One day you’ll grow up buddy
>of any white collar job
see, now you're getting what I'm saying. Don't know where you got that info regarding farmers unless it's the stereotypical "I made it up" shit but I'm not finding wherever you got that idea from. Either way, farming is the most important job in the world by a mile, and a lot of shit behind that is still leagues ahead of IT. Even the farmers who fail are more valuable than IT people. Plus the majority of farmers who do sell end up selling to other farmers, at least in the few cases I've observed in my hometown, so possibly anecdotal.
>Guess what? Most farmers fail and have to sell their farms. Because it isn't financial viable.
lol the exact same shit can be said about any dime a dozen software programmer job. The amount of rising and falling tech startups is vastly higher than any amount of farmers having to sell off their shit, because everyone thinks they can be the next Steve Jobs. There isn't enough demand to justify the ludicrous surplus of supply of qualified people, and none of these startups have any unique niche to get their footing and stay on it. Meanwhile everybody has to eat, shit, shower, and needs clean water. Again, blue collar jobs are more important than software programming.
>no one can login to their computers without them
the only reason any business would even need a computer is for emails, inventory depending on the nature of the business, and maybe some marketing. Believe it or not, not every business that has computers has every Adobe app installed. Word and maybe a google doc or two, as well as email, is all most businesses need with the rest being bloat. Sure, an IT hotline is justified, maybe some service technicians for bigger cases. But they are nowhere near as valuable as you're trying to prop them up to be. Most places have a guy who knows basic tech shit anyways who would be able to help the business log back in, which even further waters down the tech market.
>reddit spacing again
homosexual
> the only reason any business would even need a computer is for emails, inventory depending on the nature of the business, and maybe some marketing
Yeah, why would a bank need computers..just count the money and throw it in a drawer and write down on a sticky note
Naturally there are going to be outliers and exceptions to anything because in most workplaces nothing is set in stone and absolutes don't typically exist, dipshit. Funny though how that's not so different from how banks operated before computers. Almost like your comment doesn't hold the water you thought it would. Also way to nitpick instead of actually having a conversation.
>reddit spacing

It's been fun farming (You)s off of you but I have to go. I'll expect one last one to this comment though since you're clearly a redditor visiting and can't stand to not have the last word. Make it a good one.
You are unsuccessful and it shows
Bring it on bro. You won’t do shit because you’re a pussy who just flips out online about israelites lol
They're losers whose sole worth is $$, ignore them.
>bootlicking this hard for muti billion $ corporations who couldn't give less a frick about you
Absolutely pathetic, Americans truly are moronic and deserve everything bad to happen
>third worlder
yeah that figures
>America mutt thinks his mulatto shithole isn't 3rd world
You live in a protestant Brazil
ok my turkmen brother
I am happy for you, m8. Hope you continue to find happiness in your hobbies and life. Wish more people, regardless of income, could be happy and pursue what they love. Then again, I just happen to lucky to be content in my material circumstances. If I didn’t have that $1700, obviously I would be chirping a different tune.
I doubt he had happiness in his life. That’s why he needs to keep coming back to repeat how much money he makes, how little work he does, and even respond to people who say they are happy not making money and just living simply to tell him how stupid he is
God I love fit career threads. I am so close to suicide, and lease drive me over the edge. Please keep saying how you are all millionaires while doing g no work whatsoever and having the greatest lives a human can possibly achieve.
Sailor in the marine industry in Canada
29-48 days out on the water and then equivilent time off with pay
work schedule is usually 6 hours on 6 hours off so sleep is wonky as frick.
co-workers range from old 60-70 year old career sailor salt dogs to weird fricks in their 20's and 30's. no time to work out on the ship really, so pretty bad job for fitness.
hey!
I work in a company that finds jobs for you guys
respect, hard and honest work
nice. pay is great and the time off is awesome but i can't see myself doing it for much longer. im missing way too much shit back home
We need to start ignoring anyone who doesn’t post paystubs.
