tbh that's recent now that everything is total shit, every job i've landed except my first two was through linkedin's inbox

>>1448
Why are you even on leftypol if you can't even bring yourself to criticize LinkedIn of all things?

Go stick your face in bourgeois asshole and take a big smell of the farts over on linkedin

>Why are you even on leftypol if you can't even bring yourself to criticize LinkedIn of all things?

Are you functionally illiterate? I just explained to you why linkedin is crap. Wow, those corona years really did a number on your people's education.

Just get a goverment job like me
The pay is meh but it's safe and they desperately need people so your CV can be overlooked

half of jobs on linkedin are fake and just there for data harvesting

its hard but if you get into Delta Force you can get paid to be a serial killer.

>>1549
It's just too hard to be a serial killer nowadays. Maybe if it was the 1970s or 80s it could be an actual goal.

>>1546
legit no one ever asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up so I didn't give it a single thought. It ended up screwing me though because I didn't have an idea of what to do in college and switched majors like twice, dropped out, and returned like 10 years later.

>>1550
it's hard to determine,because it's reverse survivor bias,if you don't get caught,you can't appear in the statistics
and if you look at the number of unresolved murders,it's probally either easier than you think,or the pigs really do not give a shit anymore even about the most ethical part of their jobs.

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 always wanted to be an inland waterway boatman when I was younger. I thought the biggest part of the job would be drinking tea and watching the world go by. Don’t know how it really is tho.

Computer programmer. You just sit on your ass all day solving fun puzzles while making huge amounts of money and changing the world for the better.

>>1531
now give us your serious answer

>>1531
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.

I just started making money off of this and to be honest it came at a crucial time. It sucks they don't tell you what you are doing wrong. Feels Victorian, doing piece work. But it pays. Does anyone have advice for it so I don't get 'dropped' (stupid euphemism)?

My friend works as this and messed up an interview at Apple for the same role. The job is pretty much deadend and sticking out will be an uphill battle as its really just like a factory line. You can try going above and beyond by asking ur manager if you can help with random shit or take work off their plate. Hopefully your at a good company that does internal promotions, otherwise it will be the same. Your next move up would be a data auditor and data quality guy

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.


 

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.

>How
Capitalism. The rote memorization makes good worker. Thinking does not. school is not for learning its like a pedigree certificate. you still need familiar connections the cert is just proof. you are supposed to trade money and time for network not for education.
>>1342
>speak with your professors
They can't do anything about a system working as intended.
>>1344
>get into philosophy
philosophy is also infested with stem brainworms. its been replaced with analytics

>>1371
Math and English Language Arts respectively

>>1372
Professors at my college were quite happy to give practical examples, feel like the main thing holding them back from putting it in the course material was time constraints, which ya know, capitalism upstream.

>>1373
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.

How come nobody worries about tipping McDonalds workers?

> works an exploitive job separated from the means of production (mostly real estate in this case)
> lumpenprole

mcDonalds has done a lot to propagandize culture into believing that
>fast food workers do not deserve tips
from not putting in a system in place to tip workers
to actively discouraging workers in training to not ask for tips to buying and supporting any form of media that encourages you not to tip fast food workers.

tips are fucking atrocious. just like getting paid by production

>>1023
is there a real reason to tip people like cashiers or mcdonalds workers? especially if it's one of those pooled automatically applied tips, just seems like price hikes disguised as some sort of charitable action so the consumer feels better about paying

>>1023
>le consumer politics
fucking nobody reads engels' on the housing question

I get a loaf of store brand bread from my grocery chain for about $2.50
Look into rice, you can get a big bag from mexican/latino stores for cheap my gram used to do that.

uygha literally just buy actual noodles in bulk packs, the right types cook in less than two minutes (less stove cost), and it encourages you to put actual nutrition in there instead of salt, salt n salty.
daily reminder that the dominant flavor in indome mee goreng is MSG. Taste raw MSG crystals and you will know I'm not joking.

>doesn't even list a country or date
terrible chart. absolutely disgusting. the fact that you reuploaded it on this site is worrying.

Therea an app called Too Good To Go, it let's you buy like a mystery bag of food from stores that's close to its expiration date. It depends on the store but at my grocery store we give some nice shit for cheap, its supposed to be $30~ worth of product for $5 last time i checked.

Here's one. I call it the Amazon Forever Warranty.
Say something you own breaks or wears down. Just buy the same item on Amazon and return your old one for a full refund. I have abused this policy for years. I think below a certain price threshold, they just don't care because I've sent returned incorrect items with no question. I must have stolen several thousand dollars worth of merchandise by now.

Condoms do sound like a goid thing to steal. I'll never use them but they're good to have. I say razors and razor blades the stores made them so hard to purchase that I wouldn't feel particularly bad just swiping them.

>>1460
>condoms
Humblebrag

Also commit time theft as much as possible.

I used to work in a food packaging factory and alot of food got wasted if it was even slightly defective so id smuggle a few packs out every so often.

Where the fuck do you work? A brothel?

Best I can get is staples, pens, paper and premium tea for the important meetings.

I found the office floor with sharpies. And just after I trimmed my booty hairs too.
