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've heard good things about the Medieval English Literature major at Montclair State University

I think more communists need to start going into manufacturing. I don't mean skilled trades, but straight up low skill assembly-line work. Usually wont require more than an associates or a certificate if even that.

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)

i'm from the EU btw

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.

Prediction:
1. Get rich quick schemes don't work.
2. Mail metadata is logged. One way export flags you. Many consumers flags you.
3. Risk requires reward. Jail is brutal.

My advice: Install Solar Panels for a living. Wait until AGI and UBI.

That employer is trying to obtain H1B visas. To do that, they have show they tried to fill the position, but no one was qualified.

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.

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.

>>1881
> pills / pharmaceuticals
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.

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.

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.

How the fuck can anyone deal with all the hype and bullshit in computer programming? This sort of stuff kills my soul.

couldn't sleep until 3 am and called in sick, pray for me

I live in the boonies and I've been unemployed for 5 years. I applied online to a specific dollar general within walking distance, just to walk there and find out they aren't hiring

you will just be out of a job and unable to get a new one or pay for these things. Itl go little by little though so when it happens to you god forbid, maybe you have peak job security, itl just be the same old tale of someone losing their job and needing to put their nose to the grindstone if they want out of the mess. Except one day there will also be no "way out of this mess" on an individual level. By the time there is an issue to our ability to get food or power we will already have long dwindled and moved on this isnt a collapse in my opinion where any of these things will be directly "taken away" from you. Itl be like the sly turned red and the moon exploded and yet there really isnt anything we can do about that so we all just go about our lives for as long as possible trying to ignore it.

Maybe better than a collapse id call it a cascade or something because we won't be in "post capitalism" itl just fall from the sky above into our lap. If you still have power and food and your work still has power and food you probably will go about your days same as always, like you are doing now! If you have friends even better. Thee elite liquidate asset owning middle class via insider trading or really just the banal fact that capital and the stocks ups and downs orbit the ultra wealthy at an increasing rate that a middling financial advisor can not keep up with or guarantee any longer that "the stock markets always up long term" even if it is. It still is but is increasingly not a valid promise of security regarding the middle classes few hundred thousands. They will likely see the writing on the wall and panic at the writing on the wall before anyone, hate to say it. Because yeah this is no traditional collapse, and to be frank if you are OP I still stand by you in that its not a collapse that has anything to do with partisian politics or peoples views on sex and its not because of our personal ideological disagreements and while I think fascism and racism are serious problems the crying and screaming that this era of capitalism we are in is "fascist" is a disservice to just how unique capitalism is. We easily could have had someone like mamdani run for president and get elected and while that would make me very happy and for me housing insecurity is a real likelihood in the distant future, capitalism would mold and shift to be forward facing "socialist capitalism" instead of forward facing "fascist capitalism".

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
