If they are just lie, anybody else who is getting that job is going to do the same thing.
>>143To be honest my college experience was mostly my family going directly to the administration and saying I’d take accounting (later marketing when I flunked out of that) and kind of strongarming me through a mix of social and financial pressure to go along with it. I was an idiot kid who went into college right out of highschool and didn’t really stand up for myself.
>>144I just might. At this point I’m so fucking exhausted with this horseshit I’ll do just about anything to escape it.
>>149In my case it was a mixture of boasting about how good I was doing in a beginner’s accounting class at a family event (mostly to prove I wasn’t wasting any financial help) and then kind of lowkey assuming “autistic people are good with math like Rain Man or The Accountant”
What’s really killing me is I’ve got this dead end retail job, and I’m still talking with my mom and she’s all “But you’re so so so smart, don’t wind stuck in this like us.”
Fuck.
>>152Eh bro, I'm in your shoes but I'm older than you and I don't even have a bachelors so chin up. There are other things besides math. I was done with math in 6th grade. I'm not sure if you heard of "math field day" but it's a math competition and I was on the team in like 4th and 5th grade then in 6th grade, my first grade in middle school, I was put as an alternate and I just sat at the comp doing nothing the whole day and that was the last time I really invested in math. I'm alright math but I like to learn it as I need it and that works perfectly fine for me. I always was too critical while learning: "What do I need this shit for?" and really I don't need any of that shit and I can just look up equations and plug in variables as I need it.
>What’s really killing me is I’ve got this dead end retail job, and I’m still talking with my mom and she’s all “But you’re so so so smart, don’t wind stuck in this like us.”Be smart with money my friend. That's the main smart you need. Be smart with money and in business. A lot of people got rich who aren't super geniuses. Yes, to have a pure idea you can take to someone and sell for cash is nearly impossible. With business or money you can just invest in someone's idea, steal someone's idea and do it/promote it slightly differently or even the same and get rich. You have to have resources to invest yourself unless you have some rich benefactor or something. My dad's friend from the old country that lived in the same neighborhood as us, he got in the cab business, buying a cab, leasing it to a driver. My dad tried the same business at that level and only got as far as owning the cab and he had to drive it when he couldn't find a driver so he end up selling it, well his friend turned it into owning a cab garage, he bought a second home in the neighborhood while my dad sold our home and bought a house in another state for less than half the price. He also has some friends that got uber rich of real estate investments. Money, money, money. Go into business for yourself.
>>169Go for federal work.
Serious they'll be needing applicants soon.
>>264OK OP hang in there long term career wise your future is looking 👌
After what's happened who wants to work in the public sector, the only benefit over the private sector it had was job security and a sense of purpose in public service.
Just spam apply, lie on your resume if you have to to get interviews, just use those interviews as Training runs.
As in, you don't want this thalomide job anyway but you want to do a bit of basic research about the position and the specific enterprise beforehand and bombard them with questions, pay conditions, what do you do? Why do you do it and if it's for this reason this way would work better.
>>127Somewhere in Africa or Asia, some random dude hired themselves by building their own home outside of a city’s borders and digging their own property.
It’s never over as long as you still have your body
>>274>>276You can also go over their heads.
>>286Just use different accounts for your resume spam and for serious business.
>>76its in your rational interest to look for higher income as long as you dont sell out your coworkers and, if you reach a higher up position, help them as much as you can. There are human bosses but never forget that in a systemic and global way, the class struggle is still real even if you got the better cut as a laborer.
>>77wrong, to be a petit burgeoise you have to own means of production, a high salary worker does not own anything besides his technical skilled labor
>>64How did that go?
>>76> IT support 1st level here for a company> Am i being turned into a labor aristocrat?Anon please, the labour aristrocracy is an abused classification. You're just a prole who was lucky enough to get a decent boss
>>77>>80Why do all morons think that proletarian, bourgeois and labour aristocrat categories are descriptors of one's side in the class war, instead of being the various factions of society than already exist?
You can have class traitors all over the place, from police to Engels
>>1071It is.
The fact that it's been commonalised by childrearing adults for labor instead of students is part of why
