because it's always gossiping and petty drama all the time.
My favorite workplace environment was a warehouse where 95% of the employees were dudes and the rest were butch lesbians who were actually pretty chill compared to their straight counterparts.

OP, men are the same way

im a hetmoid and id rather work with all women because they at least try to keep things pleasant and light and are willing to listen to people as opposed to hetmoids who are programmed to all like the same boring bullshit and they all have the same boring attitude where you cant have fun unless you’re bullying someone. some dudes are okay though the smarter ones aren’t so bad, but they’re rare.

>>1868
>and they all have the same boring attitude where you cant have fun unless you’re bullying someone

Realest shit ever and one of the most awful things in male socialization.

>>1868
This sounds more like stereotypes. For personal experience, men are diverse in personalities

They’re not all jocular chauvinists

I’ve had more in depth conversations with men and they’re willing to exchange jokes without it being bullying
And not all women are polite smily empathy

>>1869
Women ironically behave the same way but use differing wording

>>1868
Have you ever worked with women in fast food restaurants during morning shift?

Most people are retarded assholes and the government does not represent my views or needs, instead we have idiots sacrificing my rights to appease elites.
I feel like everyone hates me because I don't side with their religious or political views

I hate the human race
Humans are destructive, why would I want to contribute to a society that constantly kills each other?
Most people are sociopaths
I'm tired of them trying to include me into their soykaf
I think the planet would be better off without humans
I'm tired of humanity, I see no purpose in contributing to this hell

I'd rather be homeless and free to reign than to work for a species of violent apes
I'm tired of all this

>everyone is bad (source: me) therefore I am allowed to fuck them over as much as I want
If morality is too burdensome for you then it would be way less pathetic to just be an unashamed asshole without all these mental gymnastics

Just because you are a communist/socialist does not mean you don't have to work. Work, practically speaking, is the best place to spread socialist ideas. You become the proletariat when you get signed up, so it is easier to spread these ideas among fellow proletarians like you.

Here is a quote from James P. Cannon, a Trotskyist who a lot of his ideas I share with.
>Yes, our party members are instructed to be the best trade unionists, to do most work for the unions…

Stemlords are actually picrel. Its no surprise stemlords are complete retards. Im doing a masters in STEM and can't believe how intellectually barren math and this field is. There is no critical thinking involved, just memorizing some garbage symbols and their rules. Solving some dumb problems with some dumb patterns and repeat.

How did stemlords get so much prestige, while being just mere symbol technicians? Humanities at least teaches some theory and critical thinking, STEM is just complete trash meant for brainlets.

No wonder philosophy underpins all math and logic, stem is just surface level work for retards. I havent encountered a single intellectually deep thought in STEM once.

Pure Math is one of the hardest STEM fields (only behind Physics) and Languages imo is one of the easiest Humanities fields (Arts even more so). A fairer competition would be something like Civil Engineering versus History.

>>1343
>STEM isnt teaching anything worthy of being applied in the first place. Tell me how intellectually rich a binary tree is, or a stupid depth first search algorithm? Or the concept of logarithms?
The tools with which you can analyze and understand nature, or theorize and build a system. The depth of these tools is only so far as the depth of those who wield them.

OP are you retarded?
STEM has practical subjects that can be traced back to nature.

>>1370
American issue. It should all be hard. Humanities are so watered down only being harder than “business” school simply because there is some thinking and writing that goes into it. Not the case in countries where getting into university is difficult.

>>1839
Idk if this is a good measure
Just because something is he’d doesn’t mean it’s always good/useful.

If of course you mean in the sense that it’s not watered down, to filter out less competent students then yes.

Also, universities in America are harder to get into

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?

i googled sinecure and the first result was your picture, anon, did you just want to use the word sinecure?

Do you have to blackmail someone or know someone important to get a sinecure? Because I don't know how else you'd get one.

>>1857
I was actually going to use an anime picture but decided against it.
There's also 'do-nothing-job' I suppose.

>>1859
I doubt anyone would give you a job that offers little-to-no material benefit to the employer on a hostile arrangement like blackmail.

As for knowing someone, a desk job at a family member's company seems like the most obvious category. Things with lots of downtime also work (security?)

If you're older and have worked in a college-educated field for a while, you could get on a board of directors, where you're paid somewhat poorly to show up to a meeting every few weeks or so. You do have to do homework including keeping up with news about your field, you obviously must use the experience given in your resume to avoid destroying the company, but it's unquestionably a job that exerts little pressure on your lifestyle. They unfortunately have tenure limits ranging from 3 to 9 years depending on the where you live.

>>1857
sinecure is an old fashioned word for basically a do-nothing job. Usually it refers to a kind of bureaucratic position, but it can also refer to the kinds of fake job mobsters get after they become "made men"

>>1861
>I was actually going to use an anime picture but decided against it.

Anti-anime sentiment is so cliche and tiring

NORMALIZE DOING LOUD WORK OUTSIDE AT NIGHT
I'M TIRED OF ONLY BEING ALLOWED TO DO HOT LOUD OUTDOOR WORK DURING THE DAY WHEN IT'S A BAJILLION DEGREES OUTSIDE
NORMALIZE NOCTURNAL SLEEP SCHEDULES
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS IN EQUATORIAL REGIONS ALREADY WORK AT NIGHT, NORMALIZE THIS IN SUB-EQUATORIAL REGIONS, AND WITH "RURAL" WORK LIKE TREE WORK

>hurr durr you need to see


GIVE EVERY WORKER NIGHT VISION GOGGLES AND BIG ASS LAMPS

AS CLIMATE CHANGE GETS WORSE AIN'T NOBODY WANNA BE AWAKE DURING THE FUCKIN DAY ANYWAY

isn't vital infrastructure work done during night

normalize three am angle grinders!



 

How do I find the job in my field if I have been out of college for years and have no relevant experience? I would like something in a public or non-profit sector, where I could do social science research or data analytics. But like I dont think I have much of a chance of getting hired into entry level position if they could take a fresh collage graduate with intership experience. Is there anything I can do? I cant bear being stuck in dead end nightmare I am at now.

I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.

I've seen things like The Wizard Book, Rust, LISP, R-something (used a lot in science?), Python (apparently old now and there's something newer Paul Cockshott uses?)…

I just want to be able to bash things together to prove points on the fly.

But I did Arts as a degree and theatre through school so I'm cooked ;_;

>>637
This would make me p. sad if it was true.

>I want to learn some basic data skills but have no foundation.
Half the stuff you listed is for programming (and good fun if you're up for it) more than for data analytics. The tools used in data analysis are SAS, Tableau, PowerBI, or Excel (pick one), R, or Python (pick one), and SQL. The basic foundational skill is some introductory statistics.

>bash things together to prove points on the fly.

The problem would probably be getting data for this. You might be better off just learning stats to make inferences from scientific articles.

>>647
Just learn Excel or LibreOffice Calc.

Was tricked to sign a letter of resignation from my job at the russian post office. Despite the fact that I was on probation and my employment contract was fixed-term (although informally after its termination they almost always offer a full-time position) my…I don't know - supervisor? the main bitch of the workplace? didn't like me because of a couple of fuckups like a cash shortage, which I was really guilty of and paid for out of my own pocket (the statement of financial responsibility was signed by me on the first day of employment), and she decided to lie that the employee I was replacing was about to go to work.
Which was an easily verifiable lie that I realized literally as I closed the door behind me. Ah, yes, since I quit "at my own request", I have to work for three days, so called "otrabotka" (two weeks if you were taken without probation), which I will not do (devilish?), because after signing my resignation letter I am no longer an employee and can not be forced to work.
Also new thing I learned opening the labor code for the first time.
-there is no concept of working after dismissal, but there is a concept of notification before dismissal, so it should be 3 days or 2 weeks before the fact.

Thanks for reading my stupid rant.

Don't worry, the LLM reading your CV won't mind the typos

Currently majoring in an applied science, in the beginning I thought about pivoting to data science/analytics at one point or IT, like many naive STEM grads, or something but I have completely moved on from that due to being paranoid about AI. I am trying to collect all the applied lab skills and work with instruments I can now. Lab workers and technicians have always lived in a type of grey area between white collar and blue collar work after all and I hope this will somewhat immunize me.

I come into work and there's no cheese
What the hell do I do now?

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.

the ptsd should be your priority mate, then finish the degree if possible. open a gofundme if you have to mooch for meds, i guess

>law degree
Bud, it’s a degree mill profession.

Are master's programs really just cash cows like everyone keeps telling me?

Tldr all the arguments I hear against doing one:
>costs too much
>easier admissions process
>bad quality of education
>more debt
>can get a job without one anyways
>mainly used by internationals to game visas
>most jobs dont require it

But, I cant help but feel a lot of this is cope from people that dont have one. It has to help get more interviews easier and the wages are probably higher.

I got an admit into UCLA and feel like I should take it. My undergrad was in a shittier state school and the rep would help me out. But its going to be 40grand and dont know if Im just about to get scammed

historically entry-level jobs didn't require BAs, either. The bar has gotten higher.

Yes, originally the logic of postgraduate education was for teaching and working in the university system itself but as university education became more accessible to the masses relatively speaking employers use postgrad degrees to lazily filter out candidates.

i got a comp sci job by

  1. joining an engineering startup when i was 19 and they were desperate for keyboard monkeys
  2. staying there and never getting a new job
  3. getting random promotions based on seniority
  4. attending the stupid corporate parties and being friendly
  5. eventually they automated my job but just put me on dev team even though I didn't have a degree because I convinced them I could do anything if they gave me a few months to teach myself

i was EXTREMELY lucky and I am very glad I never went into debt for the college meme. college is pure usury these days. people are paying off their loans well into their 50s these days. my own parents did that. instead I get guaranteed annual interest on my savings through CDs and bonds (fuck stocks and crypto, they're volatile).

See I did one in statistics. I think I'm stuck in the same hell you are. While data science isn't always statistics, perhaps you could pivot into biostats? I'm studying survival analysis on my own but I have not prior working experience to really talk about. I think I'm cooked.

>>1840
Also forgot to add that I really only wanted time and brain power. I did the MS for free.

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.
