I don’t think so. Last time I wasn’t a department manager was in the 90’s though so maybe.

nah, most work from home wagies are just playing video games all day, like me

>>18025829
I'm a freshman in business undergrad right now. What career paths are available to me that don't have this culture of wagecuckery?
I'm not trying to sound like an edge lord but I have authority figure issues and I can't be sure I wouldn't fly off the handle and quit if something like this happened to me.

>>18026096
sit down and be quiet you bitch ass freshie
you're not hard and no is intimidated by you
you'd just fume quietly in the corner and punch your pillows when you get home

>>18026141
Oh yeah, sure thing Linkie. You think I'm taking advice from a fatass who's never had a job anyway?

>>18026162
shut up nigger no one cares about your daddy issues

>>18026199
Ooh looks like I touched a two dollar nerve

>>18025829
I refuse to believe anyone is this cucked

>>18026096
Trades. Heavy equipment operator, plumbing, welding. Try to get in a union and they will have paid apprenticeship. College is a bad meme, get out now.

>>18026162
If you don't want to be treated like the wagie in the OP, choose something like PR, advertising, or marketing.

>>18026052
don't forget to move your mouse to clear the away status

>>18026096
anything entrepreneurial and some tech fields. I'm studying law and the prospect of practice in a major firm seems like the most cucked way to live, wish I had worked more on maths when I was younger. Looking at working in real estate after this because the nature of the field seems to give you more control over your life.

>>18026243
anon, this is just hitting below the belt now.

>>18026096
Business degrees are a joke and you will probably be offered sales jobs when you graduate. You can be successful at a sales job without a HS diploma. The best way to deal with authority figure issues is to accept that you are a slave.

>>18026052
Probably more productive than whatever made up busywork you were doing in the office

>>18026096
Buy a small business from a boomer. They’re selling for pennies on the dollar and with any management skills you’ll payoff whatever loans you take to buy it within 3 years and just be raking in cash. Avoid restaurants though.

>>18026438
Real estate is pretty based but go commercial. Residential tenants are massive headaches and buyers/sellers are hyper emotional and unreasonable.

>>18026096
It's all shit unless you have a genuine interest in things apart from Vidya sleeping and anime

Police or fire fighter are good careers though

>can't be sure I wouldn't fly off the handle and quit if something like this happened to me.

32yo here, when young I was like you, done that 4 times and every time the unemployment limbo was worst, now I lower my head and don't reply. wish you luck

Pick the two careers where you're most likely to get killed, haha.

TIME TO WORKOUT WAGIE !

someone make a meme of a wagie being forced to run on the treadmill at a specific time

>>18027071

First tell the faggot to suck your dick basically. Then if it escalates I would hit him multiple times go to jail and then you are set. Fuck that faggot up but no permanent damage If people ask what happened tell them that exactly. Are men this cucked? I have no kids or anything and would rather struggle at that point. Getting a job isn't that hard

>>18026757
Real talk

If you want real power then browse /pol/ until things start making sense.

>>18025829
Oh no no no

>>18026404
I just run windows media player on repeat

My sister works from home and she wakes up 5 minutes before she's supposed to start working.

>>18026052
So based. I do the same. Super comfy

>>18026096
I opened my own law office. Im working on cases from home while my secretary is at my office collecting money from the unwashed. I woke up an hour ago. This is great. Cant wait for eviction/foreclosure/bankruptcy time after this is over.

>>18026096
you just luck into it, i got a BS in biochem which I assumed was worthless but after 2 years of smoking weed post graduation and 7 months of job search found well paying work that allows me to WFH and with zero supervision or anyone bothering me as long as I get my shit done(which takes me 3 hours of actual work on average, the rest 5 hrs i am shitposting, jacking off, watching movies)

>>18026910
Thanks for the advice senpai, I might have to start in residential because there are so few barriers to entry but I wanna end up in commercial once I'm established.

I was at a very similar spot. I would practice local where people actually know of your law school.
I fucked my gpa up 1L and ended barely midpack. It didnt matter. Passing the bar is more important. GPA only matters for the extreme top.
I got a job by talking to judges. One extremely kind one got me in contact with a young attorney who showed me the ropes. Eventuall he left, and I took over his spot. I just kinda moved on from there.
Most of my practice is criminal law because its fun and it seems easier to start off in.

>>18029043
Cont:
If you want to do criminal law, work as an investigator. Its extremely helpful. If that doesnt work, intern at the PDs office. (PD can be an ok career, but it depends heavily on your area). Working at either will open doors.

>>18029155
Forgot to say, when you start out, you cant do it by yourself. You need to have someone to teach you how it actually works. Practical knowledge for even basic stuff like how much to charge is extremely easy to mess up. (Also take all of their motions, never write your own)

people who work in offices know that a good 4 hours is wasted daily AT LEAST. between coffee breaks, vape breaks, walks, chats, waiting for meetings to start, hiding in meeting rooms when you only needed 15 minutes of the booked hour, being interrupted by passers by, shift start standup meetings, conference calls, fucking around on your cellphone, looking at news or sports or stock market...

if anything work has invaded my life even more because i am locked in this prison apartment with my work laptop dinging all the time, i can't escape from 'work'

i have no regrets playing Path of Exile

where do i even begin to find a business to buy? UK btw

>accept that you are a slave.
This. You are lashing out because you are in denial.

>>18026096
It depends more on the company. I’ve always worked in start ups or smaller companies so I get to do whatever I want. Older companies tend to have these rules

>>18025829
I am so close to quitting. I am so close bros. I am filing an LLC at the moment. I have a triple plan of action. If I go bankrupt I won't care because at least I didn't slave myself into death.

1. Chainlink. It's cheap, going to sink 1k into it and by 2 years it should be 100 per coin.

2. Take out all the Small Business Loans I can that the fed will let me at little to no interest. Hopefully I can take out massive 1 million dollar ones.

3. Game Stores. Game Stop is about to go broke. Now is the time to get into it.

>>18026802
This. Before my big payout settlement for libel I was a department manager for a large financing firm (can't go into too much detail, but my boss accidentally sent a private email to everyone, staff and customers, unkind gossip that implied I was engaging in criminal activity. I sued for enough money to retire because I argued that my reputation was irreparably damaged to continue working in my profession).
It takes more work as a manager, but I had to make an itinerary for each of my staff for the work they did. If they completed it before 5:00pm, I didn't care that they would just go down to the break room and socialise or play games at their desks. Giving a good worker more work for being efficient at working is just going to teach them how to slow down.

>>18029652
Here in the states businesses are often sold by brokers, many have online listings of what is available in a given area. You might have to arrange financing but it's worth looking into.

bro i’m legit retarded on account of me huffing canned air when i was 19 but this shit is straight fuckin dunkass m8

>>18029315
Thanks for the advice, my school has decent name recognition but it's in a city where I would never consider working for the public defenders' office. Place looks like an absolute madhouse from the outside and I could make similar money outside of traditional practice.

>>18030014
Wow you're fucking retarded.

Don't even go to college unless you're studying STEM. Business majors are such a joke it's not even funny. You're literally paying money to learn babby's first calculus and a bunch of basic best practices anyone with a room temp IQ could self-teach.

>>18026052
How? Do you not have a supervisor or someone looking after you?

lmao managers having to relentlessly micromanage to keep themselves relative and with a job. Their bosses are going to realize very soon how useless middle management really is.

>Being retarded is better than being a slave.
Imagine that instead of making it you make yourself an indentured servant to the greater system in a misguided attempt to shrug off another simple wagie like yourself that you happen to have to call "bossman"

today so far we had a video meeting at 10, that started at 10:30 because Boomers cant technology, and that meeting ended with an agreement that there will be a meeting at noon.

>>18025829
Why do people elect to live like this? Why aren't there more cases of wagies going postal on their obviously evil employers? What do they have to live for?

>>18031932
>What do they have to live for?
Muh retirement, aka slow death by sitting in front of TV.

>>18031621
You all will when you turn your shit ships into hospitals. Should’ve joined the army

>>18031833
Getting dubs might be the most productive thing you do all day.

>>18031653
STEM is shit. Petroleum engineering majors are fucked. Chemistry majors are fucked. Math majors are fucked. Just get a degree in EE/CE or CS and hope you can get a nice codemonkey job before the bubble bursts or you're replaced by an Indian.

>>18031833
This was more or less the standard operating procedure when I was wage cucking a couple of years ago. Weirdly comforting to know that things haven't changed and thumbsucking is still the norm.

t. self-employed

>>18032323
Can confirm. Went to school for Biochemistry. All STEM jobs are fucking shit and underpaid for the amount of technical knowledge you need.

There are no supervisors in our startup :^)

Oh fuck off with your boomer shit. Getting a good welding job will cost you as much as a college degree. Read this: https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2019/09/welding-doesnt-pay-as-well-as-republicans-think/597733/

I made 120k last year as a shovel monkey working union. Didn't pay 1 shekel either.
T. Made 250k over the last 3 years as a general laborer.

>>18033030

Which state? Were you shovelling shit?

>>18026096
I was a dipshit like you once but as it turns out having problems with authority (aka daddy issues) doesn't fly well in a corporate environment structured like the military. You have your place, your boss has their place, and life has been easier for me when our interests have been aligned.

You'll learn. Try to learn faster before you get canned for being a dipshit. Jobs are going to get scarce in a hurry.
