I applied for it because I desperately need a job and they gave me an 'audition' (wtf?) and it is like I am meant to be a performer or something. My friends say its a strip club but online apparently its not. I don't want to be a stripper BUT I NEED A JOB. Is it worth trying or is it sex work? Damn on the googile images it really looks like a strip club.

I think you're the jokester, considering I cleared more on a Thursday night at bars than in a whole week at taco bell, and that's the third biggest money night.

>bouncing your tits around is "sex work"
what the fuck does sex mean to americans

>>1220
You're asking the wrong people about sex

>>1219
It depends on what kind of bars though

Can't fight the moonlight.

Does anyone here help organize like labor unions and tenants unions and so on?

I was thinking that the nonprofit industry/social worker sector might be very useful to unionize. It could help mitigate some of the harms of the nonprofit activist industrial complex by giving more power to the workers instead of the CEOs. I'm sure lots of NEETs here interact with social programs. It takes five seconds to ask your support workers if they've looked into unionizing.

Anyhow would love to your thoughts on praxis in general

>synthesism doesn't get the goods
How so?

In December 1912, the UMWA had sent 21 "recruiting teams" to the Southern Colorado coalfields. These recruiting teams generally consisted of two union men: one who would embed himself among the miners and another who would find employment with the local management. Working in tandem, each pairing would locate miners who were opposed to unionization and report them to the company as union sympathizers—an offense that generally resulted in contract termination—in order to covertly replace them with genuine union members. It is possible that up to 3,000 UMWA members were introduced to the coalfields in such a manner.[20]: 10–11

I've recently begun considering social work as a career path is it worth it?

What makes you motivated to wake up each week day and begin another days work? Am personally not particularly motivated by things, so am looking for something of another form. Am currently a student more or less dreading and finding it difficult to imagine enjoying most of my life. Am looking for a perspective to stop dreading the future working so much.

Know statistically that most American workers are "very satisfied" with their occupation, but find this confusing. Who would want to work? Suppose someone who rationalized, or someone who earns money by coincidence (their interests and aspirations by happenstance being economically viable). Is there some way out of this?

>The brain seems to be wired where rewards like this just don't motivate. Being motivated solely by necessity seems like it be just a dreadful, slavish, existence, but it doesn't work for me anyway.

Listen to George Carlin's take on motivation.
He says motivation is troublesome because the people who have it are usually up to no good.

>The people who are motivated are the ones causing all the trouble! Stock swindlers, serial killers, child molesters, religiopolitical conservatives? These people are highly motivated!

I think the alternative to working would be doing something for fun (hobbies), or doing nothing and being depressed. Everything costs money, and I don't like the idea of living on benefits.

Why is it ok to criticize work but when I criticize schooling, it's considered wrong?
Schooling has far more dross than working.

i dont see a problem, schools are bullshit, rape all teachers

Whoever came up with using AI for tech support chat is a genious and a liberator, a hero of modern IT workers.
I fucking hate doing tech support. Blessed be LLMs.

>Talking to people is a skill. Communicating with people is a skill. De-escalating people is a skill. Troubleshooting is a skill. Tech support workers are skilled workers. Corona just fired, what was it, 700 of their tech support workers and replaced them with AI. So now what are those tech support workers going to go do? Get a job at the fucking McDonald's like everybody else? Get 10 hours? AI hasn't liberated anybody. It's only made the rich richer. That's fact. This AI shit isn't a liberation of anyone, except for your wallet into the rich people's fucking pocket.

Become a clerk or something

also complaining about the deskilling of labor, an inevitability of capitalism, is the petit booj as fuck lol. as expected from the "zine" content creator

>>1113
Most of the jobs being deskilled are non-technical jobs anyway.

>>1117
The people who are the most pissy about AI are usually people who don't do any essential work.
They usually do hobby work.

They're averse to blue collar jobs in the first place.

How do you go about looking for jobs anon?
So far have only skimmed through Indeed and applied to jobs that caught my attention.
Got nothing back from these, but that was before my resume was specialized.

Why is it socially acceptable if not encouraged in all political axes to hate work but it's considered blasphemous to hate school?

Why is it that whenever I ask most people what they learn in school, all they tell is the dumb shenanigans they committed, even to the point of wanting to officiate "rites of passage" based on dumb reckless childish stunts, but they cannot remember one intellectual thing?


Whenever adults are asked to help with schoolwork, their minds are blank. Whenever it comes to bullying, they have no backbone except for punishing victims for self defense.

I notice that the people who miss school the most usually are those with no work ethic or people who kinda have some unfulfilled teenage quests.

I'm not against schooling, but we need to revamp it entirely. Trying to segregate worldly factors from the classroom for the sake of "protecting the younguns" usually results in an immature society.

I believe a lot of our problems with labor and education is due to how modern society views them as parallel worlds with differing rules.

School should reflect the workforce in social treatment, type of tasks, and infrastructural design

You live in a 90's coming of age comedy film.

Imageboard mindset lmao just cuz you thought you were to smart for the normies to cope doesn't mean everyone else had the same experience lmao. its not even BlAsPheMouS to hate against public schooling ppl do all the time they just recognize sitting around and goofing off with the other middle schoolers isnt the same thing as a going to work. only imageboard mfers be saying stupid shit like this get a fucking job

It's funny how society will ban kids from recreational or industrial activities over isolated incidents but when frequent incidents happen in academic activities, nobody wants to restrict/vet

Anybody know of any good job sites for part-time work, ideally uk based? I’ve been using indeed for a while but it’s shit, i’m just looking for bar work or something before i head off to university in the autumn but every job site i’ve checked (cv library, reed, etc) are just filled with garbage jobs that i’m either not qualified for, are too far, or are just email scam type jobs

>>1009
for service job the old fashioned way is still the way, at least that's my experience. Print a lot of cvs with a good and simple presentation, lie about experience ALWAYS, prepare a route in your town to cover as many restaurants/bars as possible, and walk and talk. Say hello to the people, look for the person in charge, and then just humbly say thay you are looking for work

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

I have yet to find a professional Master's degree that is actually useful. MBA? Trash. MPH? Double trash.
The only reason to get a master's is if you want to work towards a PhD and live in academia. The only graduate degrees worth a damn otherwise are medicine, law, dentistry and perhaps engineering.

>>351
OP I am going to be frank with you: Discussions about college degrees on the internet are 99.99% vibes-based and people who have no understanding of the subject think they're qualified to talk out of their ass about it. In particular people who fellate "the trades". It's become a cultural signifier, there's basically no facts involved and even the anecdotes are unreliable at best.
I would speak with an actual counselor and figure out what exactly your future career prospects would look like, and then with that baseline you can do further research from there. Obviously the counselor is part of the university so they wouldn't give an absolutely objective viewpoint, but they would still give you a general idea of what exactly it is you're looking at career-wise.
Is it actually true that you could get a job with the degree you already have? Have you tried to figure that out? You would know better than us. It's your money/debt, your desires, your time.

I'm thinking accordion, bagpipes, guitar or violin.

They get actual chump change where I live, its so fucking miserable, the working conditions are awful and the pay is so shit its compareable to a street sweeper. I did 2 months at mcdonalds, NEVER AGAIN.

>>1051
This is why general schooling should be mainly vocational, especially in poor areas.
Once you graduate, you get free waivers to good colleges.

>>971
OP what is the point of this thread? Do you even play an instrument already lol? The best way to get a living as a musician and something even people who went to Berkely or Juliard do is to play weddings and etc. But like I just pointed out, these are top tier musicians working for basically chump change in the first place. You're not going to make a living busking especially if you're not already like some master musician.

The Irish Uilleann Pipes - an instrument so impressive that learning it will keep you fed, clothed, and welcomed wherever you go. In the summer i'd make more money busking than I would in a day job.
