College is a joke anymore. Your told "your key to success is getting a degree" Here's what they don't tell you "But your in competition with several thousand other cucks all doing the same shit and you'll all be tossed out on your asses deep in debt" So yeah.. real worth it right.

Here's the other little nugget: College expenses only go up year after year. Meanwhile your salary don't. Cost of other shit goes up also. Thinking of dodging the bullet and file for bankruptcy to clear your debt load? Wrong; your still on the hook for your college expenses.
College was fine.. in the 70's/80's/90's/00's. Now? Not so much. Everyone's gotta degree in "something" even lit studies or general studies grads (bullshit degrees). Soon.. even your basic shit job at Walmart or Kroger will demand "college degree" even when in reality the only requirement is you got a pulse and can count money. Oh and show up on time.

Here's the third little nugget:
I make shit and I didn't go to college. But I didn't start out deep in debt either. I got a state job. With pension and a 401k. My job and pension is secure. The state would have to go broke before I lost my job or my pension got cut. The chance of that happening? Very remote. Gov just said the state's got a surplus. I can put in 27 yrs and retire with full benefits. For me that means I'll be 50 yrs old. So let's recap this:

Non college dude has made it and will be kicking back at 50 "retired" pulling a pension and have a 401k on the side. Plus whatever he's got stashed in the bank. No debt aside from his house. Meanwhile all the other cucks will be working till age 65 at minimum and up to there asses in debt. So who's the smart one?

the waking up early part and the commute is probably worse than the actual waging.

it's very hard to get a good paying job without connections (since NEET I have no friends or connections of any kind). and the cost of living is high everywhere in the US.

same problem here in Italy.

software developer in a small firm in Rome:
typical monthly wage: 800-1200€, you may get to 1500 if you work for a large one

800sqft apartment in Rome outside the tourist zone:
typical monthly rent: 1280-1540€
typical bedroom in a shared apartment: 400-600€

also, gas costs: 1.60€/liter ($6.82/gallon)
have a look at the website prezzibenzina.it

Usual solutions:
- shared apartments
- couples both having a job
- when possible, live with parents and commute until you have enough for a down payment + notarization expenses (about ~32k to buy a 900sqft $140k apartment)

Nigger what? I had a two bedroom in a nice neighborhood, with in unit laundry for $500/month. You either need to move out of Jew York city, or lower your expectations. You arent getting an apartment with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace in the middle of a metropolis, just fucking deal with it.

I'm in aus and get paid $35 an hour in I.T. work with no formal qualifications, ( started off at an ISP doing customer service, moved into more complex work after a few years)

If you're on $12 an hour immediately look at leveling up, pump the gun a bit and get out of that bog paycheck

>it's very hard to get a good paying job without connection
then go out and make connections. how do you think people get connected in the first place? not by sitting around and whining about how hard everything is. standing in line with 100 other schlubs to have your resume reviewed by some HR roasty is a loser move. go troll industry conferences and stalk down decision makers in person. I have a very comfy job and I havent used a resume since 2012.

Amico non ho sottomano il tuo CCNL ma dubito che l'entry level sia così basso, in logistica che è letteralmente negri all'attacco e minimo 1100 euro al mese.
Riguardo all'affitto prendi un monolocale in culo a dio.

Comunque per il tuo stipendio ti stanno letteralmente scammando, a sto punto fatteli dare in nero se proprio devi farti fottere in culo.
