Im working as a low voltage electrician. I hate working at a datacenter knowing im directly contributing to the degradation of the earth and the continued usage of AI. There isnt any other job available at a different site AFAIK. is the future of low voltage just datacenter bullshit?

i imagine all sorts of facilities need electricity too, i'm sure something will come your way that is not datacenter related.

fry all the servers and use some kind of plausible deniability technique to make it look like an accident

The datacenter bubble will pop soon, but yeah for now the electrician industry is kinda cooked.

You can try Fiverr or Mechanical Turk, but the payout is VERY low after all the deductions, maybe half of minimum wage?

You can try small engine, boat engine, or lawnmower repair. Obtain junk from Craigslist, fix it up, sell it for a profit. You may need to invest in tools and knowledge to make the best use of something like that though.

You can use the internet to find tax sales and estate sales. Sometimes you can find valuables here that are sold so cheaply, you can turn right around and sell them for a profit. However, you may need to invest time in learning what to look for and what not to be fooled by.

You can do OnlyFans. Consider doing feet only or similar content if you're shy. Don't forget to write off any purchases on your taxes.

The good thing about not having skills is that you're free to learn whatever you want and build something that's yours. The bad thing about not having skills is, you're very limited in the ways you can make good money to start out.

It's easy. Pull up your local crime map and find the reddest area nearby. Next, go to the ATM and take out as much cash as you can (drug dealers only take cash). Now, go to that red part of town, make sure to dress nice and wear your most valuable clothes and jewelry, then start talking to people. Let all of them know you're looking to become a drug dealer, tell them how much money you have and tell them you'd like to buy some drugs with it. They'll be happy to tell you what to do from there.

Can't do trades. My back and shoulders are fucked from having worked in the trades. My friends in tech say it is completely jeeted and that they haven't found work in almost two years.

i want to study philosophy but my family really wants me to go for law instead, i know that the former will have me get no job but i increasingly feel like the latter wont as well (or if it will then it won't matter much because of the imminent worldwide revolution or whatever)

might be easier to make a list of degree to avoid.

I worked with a man who had a doctorate in English studies. He worked at burger king.

Electrical Engineering with focus on either Embedded Systems or HF/Radio Engineering.

Because of the drone wars obviously.

>>1906
i think lawyers are one of the most safe professions out there tbh, but maybe philosophy isn't that far out either if you go into teaching, considering low-tech education is all the rage with rich people

Too debilitated by PTSD to finish my law degree at a good university. Interned in prestige media and got no contacts from it because it was essentially a 12 week paper pusher treadmill. Feel hopeless. I love writing and literature so I want to wage enough to support that. But I have generally no support network so I’m just rawdogging nepo faggotry and I am exhausted and despondent. Any suggestions on what to do.

They want to make sure you're not a transhumanist or something 🙄

I think i got the job and the petite bourgesisie millennials were nice to me. Although i feel slightly bad because its a major place for beer but at least as a line cook i can say they are at least trying to move away from just feeding alcohol addictions.

>>1918
It was a really short interview and they just asked if I could work and previous experiance, wasnt that bad

ive been applying to jobs everyday for 2 months and have heard nothing but silence and the occasional "we selected another candidate" email

It's illegal for them to ask that so if they find out that you are lying then they are confessing to a crime and you can countersue.

Executives do not primarily make their money from wages they make it from stock; ownership shares in the company. Most execs are petit boug or boug.

Politicians make most of their money from bribes and insider trading.

Managers and cops are workers but they're also class traitors.

>>1897
Name a single proletarian revolution, you can’t because they literally all happened in semi feudal semi colonial countries

>>1897
>executives
usually also get stock ownership and other fringe benefits.
>managers
most of them, yes. "manager" sounds bad, but illustratively: a supermarket "manager" in britain makes very little more than the workers they manage.
>cops
yes
>politicians
no, but they're a very special case: as well as the ability to sell access they wind up with a range of fringe benefits and are usually subsidized to hire staff of their own. on top of this, their conditions of employment are unusual: basically impossible to fire for 3-5 years, then completely random whether they keep their job or not, then another 3-5 years of total security if they do.

if you want to talk shared interests and shared conditions of life your citation of factory workers is inapt in most developed countries: they are now fairly rare figures who often earn much more than the average prole. if you're a factory worker in britain today, odds are you're getting £60k+/yr to put together high-performance jet engines or ejector seats for Israeli F-35s, not £24k/yr to screw together dinky toys.

>>1878
Anyone who would starve and go homeless if they stopped selling their labor (barring the aid of charity or government).

>>1878
The prole has his labor-power reduced to a commodity. It's not about empiricism. It's about how the subsistence of the prole is bought and sold on the market.

What is the coziest job? I love the idea of being a fisherman. Can you imagine being a Scandinavian fisherman? Must be awesome.

I fantasize a lot about being a hard-bodied young man sailing across the world, exploring all of Europe, all the while serving my nation by being the best Fisherman in all the land. Hopefully I will reincarnate into something like that. Unfortunately I'm a lazy-eyed, glasses-wearing, wimpy little freak.

I do this except the money isn't huge, just comfy, and I don't make the world a better place. However, the puzzles are fun and I agree it's the coziest job if you have the right personality to stare at a screen all day.

>>1530
Sounds awesome lol

I want to be a wolf. no work no commute just awoo

guess it depends on your own personal preference. Personally, id love to be something like nature park maintenance. Fixing trails and keeping a natural space clean while being outside most of the time appeals to me. But other people would find it misrable im sure.

>>1837
Me too. Closest I can get to that is being a Therian Otherkin… but it's not quite the same u_u

Do any of you work some kind of sinecure?

What is your job description and what do you actually do? Does it pay the bills? Do you take the time to pursue some hobbies or do you mostly just chill?

Unarmed night shift "security" or "toll troll" for only serving to open a barrier on a toll booth, I do nothing besides radio in that everything is normal, if its not normal its not my problem its the patrol's problem (patrols are cars of armed security that come when an alarm triggers), I shitpost and eat for a living.
>does it pay the bills
The pay isn't good but its possible to save up by having minimal expenses.
>Do you take the time to pursue some hobbies or do you mostly just chill?
Both yes.
>are you not defending private property
A logistics hub storage of alcohol and pills / pharmaceuticals? From lumpen mafia looking to get drunk and high on DXM? If they come and need something I will buy it for them out of my paycheck.

And from the inventory on the site I've checked most of it is food supplements, cosmetics and other trivial stuff.

Then they have to be really retarded to break through metal shutters over such things.

>>1855
Me. Ive been working one for 8 years now. I work only about 10% of the hours I get paid for. However it was all luck and I really mean it, I got very lucky, plus I might be getting fired soon. If you want you can try to replicate what I did but it wont work likely. I joined a boomer owned company, worked for a few months, carved out a tech position for myself, really wowed the ceo/owner, sucked up to him a lot, and told him I was going remote due to a family emergency (lied). He caved and I just never went back.

As for time, I feel guilty because I waste too much of it, but I did do a shit ton of different hobbies to the point where I feel like theres not much left Id like to try. The fear of getting fired and being homeless keeps me from enjoying it all fully as I know I prob wont luck out like that again.
