pays like shit, leaves you exhausted, will kill you
>retail and customer-facing
pays like shit, you basically endure abuse or idiocy for eight hours a day
>pink collar and healthcare
can pay very well but the hours are insane and you also have to endure abuse constantly
>white collar work
best-case scenario, pays well, but you're still sitting through 4-hour meetings of nothing but bullshit and wasting your life away in front of a computer
i know i'm missing something because i don't understand how wagies aren't constantly miserable 90% of the time.
yes, sometimes you get a job you just inherently vibe with, or you get to work on something you're actually proud of, like you save someone's life or you help in the construction of a nice useful building
but all of that is rare. the rest of the wagies, do they just dissociate and swallow it down? is it just genuinely not that bad from their point of view?

But my fault is that I didn't apply for another one, because I'm from a petit bourg family with rental property and a small business so I don't really need to work. I can still get a job, I'm just lazy and enjoy the NEET life. I'm the classic failson. I no longer get any respect from family and friends but at least I don't need to get up at 8 AM to do nothing in front of a PC. When the revolution happens I'll contribute to it, until then I'm just going to remain a petit bourg parasite.
>>760707You should just brag about having that lifestyle because it's than what the vast majority of the world lives with. Make a bunch of wagies seethe.
>>760708 Its a comfy life but not truly a fulfilling one. Im friendless and sexless because no woman or man respects a NEET. I would not recommend this life to anyone. There's a real reason why even billionaires go out to work and attend meetings and read reports and shit, when they don't need to do anything at all.
>>760715I guess to me I don't care because I work and still am sexless and friendless. At least when I neeted I wasn't working but yea it's not ideal. I guess life feels empty either way to me so if I'm going to feel this way I might as well not be working. Although I do kind of like working and I do sort of like my job and maybe if I could connect with people better I might enjoy life more than I do now. But I'm not really looking to change any of this.
