To not have to work for 8 bucks an hour on an assembly line

is this stockholm, total capitulation or both?

I think it's just a guy trying to make the best out of it and not complain too much.

>>29754507
Fucking hell. I'm glad there's someone pathetic enough to work in a factory. I'd rather flip burgers.
What motivates me is obtaining the golden key to NEETdom. I don't care about being ultra rich. I just need enough passive income for 2.5 people per year.

I kinda envy this guy DESU

>>29754507
i'd kill myself if i had to actually work for a living.

>>29755563
No way that's a guy

>>29755566
Working in a factory is way better than flipping burgers. There's no customers to deal with. But factory jobs where I live usually pay at least twice the minimum wage. I used to be a loader for UPS and even that paid a couple bucks over minimum wage and it was the easiest job I ever had. It was like IRL Tetris. I would have stayed there forever but I got some even easier job.

>>29754507
not everyone is meant to make it
society needs garbage men, line assemblymen, etc

He's right. If you get a job that you can autopilot it becomes easy as fuck. Min wage in the states is shit though

I used to work in a factory to get some money to save up for university (didnt want to take a loan) and to earn money to invest
he is right its easy to switch off your brain and you dont have to deal with customers

but my IQ was like 2x everyone else there and there were people there who worked there for 20-30 years

>>29755901
i worked in a factory for a few years. it sucked because the team leaders were 50-60 year old boomers with a chip on their shoulder because they suffered through 30 years of wageslavery, so they could really treat you like shit.

i rotated through several jobs in the factory. the worst jobs were: 1) grabbing 300 F boards out of a press and stacking them by hand. the fumes made you cry, had to wear 2 pairs of gloves to avoid burning your hands, no air conditioning, etc. 2) staring at boards on a conveyor belt under a blindingly white light and grading them for minor imperfections. boards moved by at a pace of about 1 every second. so you would grade thousands and thousands of boards a night. worse than watching paint dry, although that was literally part of what you were doing.

waging is hell, period.

>>29755566
Anon, I'm a paper cutter, in a climate controlled warehouse. $16.50/12hrs overnight. Easy paying jobs are out there.

If a min wage job can be worked with an autopilot and you are able to use headphones, it is somewhat decent. You could listen to podcasts all day, get some exercise, minimum stress and get paid for it, not bad at all.

>>29755901
What is an even easier job with roughly the same salary? I can't think of anything on the top of my head.

>>29756216
Idk I worked in an RV factory for a long time it was pretty based. My whole job was pretty much was tightening 4 bolts every few seconds. It was kind of hard on my shoulder though.

>>29754507
Being frugal and stuffing money away into investments is a great strategy, but wasting your time for minimum wage is a bad idea. You really don't have that many working hours in your life to be underpaid.

>>29756732
Software development. It paid a lot more money and all you have to do is sit in a chair and write code instead of destroying your body with manual labor. I work in product development now and it's actually even easier than coding plus it pays more than I was making.

>>29754507
he probably earns more than i do..

Just need a million to retire inti NEETdom with yield farming.

>>29755955
Garbage men unironically make decent money

work sucks
we're worse off then the slaves

>>29755955

Garbage men in my area actually make pretty decent money for being wagies.

>What motivates you /biz/?
Being in remote work while doing basically nothing for my salary of 6000$/month.
It's pretty motivating to build your own company while "working" in some where else, so there is no risks

>>29756216

That sounds terrible. I worked at an assembly line/fulfilment center type of thing for aerosol products. There was this one line everyone DREADED to be on (they'd rotate you through the week) where we had to put the tops on cans of some kind of spray. Not so bad, right? well, the tops had these fucking spikes on them that were about 2 inches long and doing it all day, they're going to poke you once in a while. The gloves were garbage and they literally cut through the gloves like you weren't even wearing them. After working on the line to put hot caps that cool and stay on the WD40 cans, they would leave blisters on your hands. Doing the sharp top cans right after would make them pop the blisters on your hands. Once a week I'd have to bandage up my hands and put neosporin on them all over because they'd be bloody and totally fucked on my days off. I couldn't even play video games. I worked there for 6 months and making 9 dollars an hour. Fuck that fucking place, man. Thank you, /biz/ for saving me.

>>29757017
Well, I suppose easy is relative. I was thinking about min wage jobs with little skills required

>>29754992
being an autist assemblyline work is quite comfy

>>29755447
Damn that was pretty great storytelling. Please don't tell me this is some SJW-infested game. I may pick it up if not.

Who actually works minimum wage? I just don't get it. My nephew is a high school dropout in a shitty state with no jobs and found a warehouse gig for like 16 bucks an hour with benes. I think people who work minimum wage actually seek out the worst lowest paying jobs they can find just to complain about it.

Top kek

TFW get paid $25/hr to work at home and sleep 2-4 hours into your shift, do a bit of work until 4:30 while pepeposting on biz and then have your girlfriend come over to suck your cick and get pounded

>>29758013
What job is it?

>>29754992
It is capitulation without demoralisation. I get him, he has zero responsibilities and no drive. He works just to sustain himself and that is enough.

>>29758402
He's fan fic author for sure. He just wrote one for the (you)'s.

>>29755563
This. Most people on biz are just a bunch of pampered first world faggots who cry at the prospect of working for some of the best wages in the world. Not even defending the wagie life, but some of the people here are extremely out of touch with reality.

>>29758402
It’s a case manager job at a major bank. Nothing too fancy but it is a comfortable stepping stone to making it

A good working environment makes all the difference, I'm doing on-site tech support for a fairly large corporation to fund my studies and it's actually much nicer than I expected. The helldesk catches the flak and dumb bullshit from users, leaving us with the actually worthwhile tickets, and the genuinely useful battle-hardened management protects us from dumb bullshit from above so we can just do our thing in peace. It doesn't pay much, but it's a comfy and braindead easy job with some absolutely fantastic colleagues.

>>29754507
this dude really just said working isnt so bad if you just dissociate for 8 hours of your day every day.
What the fuck man.

>>29758730
Yeah they don't understand how shit works in real life it's top kek reading the comments.

>>29758013
Show cick

>>29758730
>but some of the people here are extremely out of touch with reality
Anon reality is that if you live in first world country there is nothing outside.
You will never going to compare your life to people in third world countries. Why would you? You are living in completely different world.

There is only so called West and nothing else in world for us. This might sound cruel and many would never publicly agree, but I could bet 20k$ right now that most westerns don't really see them as an people at all. West is our bubble and I'm happy to live inside it.

>>29754507
Okay mr fancy pants. The wagie is right about that type of work. If the work is repetitive and trivial you can tune out and just deep think and time will fly. No stress either as you don't make any decisions. Now days minimum wage isn't horrible if you have roommates

>>29754507
>Corporations finna find this nigga and clone the shit out of him

Idk warehouses are where it's at if you want easy wagie money. Get yourself operating equipment and make 15$/hr or more driving around and moving stuff. I work 4 ten hour days so the schedule is nicer than other wagie shit. I'm motivated by the fact I need money and don't have enough crypto to retire yet.

>>29754507

>>29754507
Most people are brainlets, so this kind of work is natural. Don't hate on them for finding peace.

>>29759614
I'm not from the first world, I'm from a third world shithole. That's exactly why a lot of posts here are hilarious to me.
>but I could bet 20k$ right now that most westerners don't really see them as an people at all
You're right. Westerners are the epitome of hypocrisy.

>>29759999
I doubt it. West is eternal always in some form or another.
Eventually global warming will sterilize most of the world starting from equator and as most of the western cities are far away from danger areas everything will continue as always while most of the third world population disappears.

>>29754507
I get in trouble for overtime at my shit job. Wouldn't be a problem if they could let me clock out remotely but I have to drive back to the job site to leave

>>29760663
I have to confess that I'm sometimes supprised that you guys have internet.

I’ve been working from home for almost a year now and I only work for a total of like 1 hour a day. The rest I play video games. I answer occasional phone calls. I also make 40k a year. I need to take advantage of this extra time I have and work on my writing.

>>29757807
I don’t know anyone working minimum wage and chances are, no one here does either. I’d love to stand corrected tho.

>>29757807
I'm still in the maintenance job I worked during college. I didn't know how to market a business admin degree and have general anxiety about selling myself to employers so I just stagnated. On the upside I can finish my job in 3 hours and spend the rest of the day trading

>>29760998
>and as most of the western cities are far away from danger areas everything will continue as always while most of the third world population disappears.
They’re going to migrate to the West. Happening right now, even.

It's his jew manager larping on reddit so the proles don't unionize or throw themselves out of the warehouse windows. Being a mindless drone making peanuts that will be inevitably replaced by automation is actually great!

it can be nice to turn off your brain and step out from all the uncertainty and chaos in the world and just focus on one simple task and be nicely productive with no mental effort. For like, half an hour a day, tops. 8 hours every day is just untenable and i would rather live in a tent.

>>29759999

>>29760998
>West is eternal
You're delusional

i work at DHL, we use little smart robots called locus to do all the work for us, and each little bastard costs $34,000. they run around the warehouse all day, i get paid 18 an hour in california. every friday i get 650 bucks in my account after tax.

easy job, no complaints after one year. got a 6 figure portfolio now, can work here for the next bear market if need be.

everyone thinks robots will take our jobs but i think they will become our best freinds.

>>29761857
I’m pretty sure they were capturing her beauty. Guess it depends where this picture was uploaded.

Factory work isnt all bad. Assembly line work is braindead shit. Being a blue collar wagie mechanic in mechanical engineering is nice. Always building different machines and doing lots of different things on them (mechanics, pneumatics, hydraulics, etc). Basically assembling whole machines with blueprints/cad. Pay is above average. But im from Germany were industrial mechanics or electricians are trained 3.5 years. Soon doing mechanical engineering technician. Thats another 2 years training. 5.5 years job training without ever seen a university.

>>29754507
There’s literally nothing wrong with this post. He’s just being realistic and not the usual faggot Redditor complaining he isn’t on 50k/year for flipping burgers.

Minimum wage jobs can be quite comfy desu.

>>29759145
I can work at McDonald’s but as long as my coworkers are cool then that definitely makes all the difference. Dude in OPs picture sounds like he doesn’t even work with awesome people.

>>29761325

>>29756216
Doing something like the latter now, inspecting medical glassware for imperfections under harsh LEDs in an otherwise lightless room nine hours a day. Worried my eyes are going to get fucked but the chair is comfy and it’s more than double the min wage in this midwest dump. Cost of living is cheap at least so I have plenty to dump into crypto. Coworkers are better than retail, old white guys who make good conversation when you’re out on a smoke break

Should be criminal to be forced to wake up so early for the sole purpose of wageslavery though

>>29760663
Please ignore that dumbass

>>29757872
lmao dude, I felt bad for the guy in the pic when I posted the OP but this is just brutal

>>29758730
What's the point of working if some of the hardest jobs and worst jobs for your body don't even pay well? Then again most of that kind of jobs are going to be replaced by robots so it doesn't matter at this point I guess, I just don't see the point of wasting that many hours of my week to destroy my body and my soul for pennies

>>29756216
I worked overnight stocking at Target while going to school and had a boomer boss who was a former Army Ranger, he could be a real hardass. But one day I asked for more hours and he straight told me, "you want to work at Target the rest of your life?", that honesty about the realities of manual labor jobs stuck with me to this day.

>>29757872

Trades pay very well.

A lot more than that...

>>29762652
I worked at Little Caesars for a couple years in college and it was very nice that 90% of my coworkers were either high school students or other college students. The remaining 10% were Mexicans and felons and fast food lifers, but at other shit jobs I've worked it was 90% Mexicans/felons/lifers and 10% normal people.

>>29754992
Dissociation

>>29754507
Honestly? My motivation comes from how I had a part-time job as a food runner once in high school for a couple of months. That shit was SO fucking demoralizing and terrible that I vowed to always succeed financially.
You see the true nature of people as a wageslave, and most people just automatically treat you like garbage -- talking some bottom caste south indian barely human tier servant.

The memories are still burned in my head of JUST how rude and nasty 99% of people are when you're nothing but a wageshit to them. Never fucking again.

>>29754507
>What motivates you /biz/?
Numbers going up is funny. I don't actually spend it.

>>29754507
The motivation of a job should be to reach an end goal. Some people's aspirations are simply to get paid a bare minimum and survive. The system is set up perfectly for them. No shame in that, but certainly no honour. We all need them until robots are more than weird looking dog like creatures taking pictures of curfew breakers.

>>29754507
I don't want to work dead end jobs anymore. I just started an engineering major this semester and I wish I did it years ago but I didn't have the motivation to be in school back then. I want to make real money, have a job that people respect, I want to escape the wage cage. I also want to automate as many dead end jobs as possible so I can stop other people from living this kind of hell. Right now I can coast by on my GI bill but I'm planning to get a part time job in addition to the full time job I work between semesters and put every spare dollar towards my investments and hopefully make it. Working 7 days a week is hell but if I don't put in the effort I'll never make it.

>>29759987
That's because humans aren't meant to work like robots. That's why we have robots. The best dead end job I had was installing satellite tv dishes. I worked by myself, I had control over how I did the job, I stayed busy enough to help the day go by without having to work at break neck speeds. I was about to get a raise that would have put me at $19 an hour but the scamdemic got me laid off before it could happen.

>>29763305
At echelon yes. I mean let’s say plumber, HVAC tech, or electrician can do alright for themselves after working early and night using their bodies and sometimes dealing with literal human shit... ya do alright, but it’s like everything else in the world. It’s about who you know and the name you make for yourself in your industry. The funniest part is, on nicer jobs, any of the subcontractors or GC might walk away with a bigger chunk than the design/architect/engineering offices unless you’re specifically using a good name, but that comes with high cost of materials and specialty labor so it doesn’t even net out. desuuu you’re into construction (we’ve been stacking sticks and stones since we’ve been human; developers and contractors can and do make bank..) I highly suggest general construction management dealing with the paperwork and logistics end. At ANY ENTRY POINT learn how to read blueprints and plans of various nature (design plans/RCP/schedules, MEPs, Tel-Data, structural, etc.) because if you can do that well you’ll be ahead of the game.

>>29763543
Is that really what they're using the BD dog robot for now, after ALL the fucking potential it had? Fucking catching hoaxvirus curfew breakers?

Worked in a Chinese restaurant after high school delivering food and waiting tables for 6 years. Got to the point that I was an indentured servant (I rented a house that they owned). Wasn't all bad, rent was 300 bucks and I unironically had job security (for whatever that's worth). The best part was that I started growing weed in the basement, and they (my bosses) didn't care. We all just agreed it was "tobacco". I'm now about to graduate college, soo it's kinda fun to look back on those memories or being high as shit and delivering food. Easy money (besides car maintenance...)

>>29763479
I worked at two McDonald’s and a moes and they didn’t treat me too bad. It was sometimes actually enjoyable. But I absolutely agree that some motivation comes from working a fast food job in the past. I work a comfy office job now and I pray to the lord I never have to go back to fast food.

I'm doing this as we speak and I want to kill myself. I make like 27k a year post tax and I'm working 12 hour days spending probably 500$ a month on traveling. I hate my fucking life and I hate the people I work with. Does it get any better man?

>>29759145
Yeah the people you work with really make or break the job. I purposely worked as a barista for almost 10 years when I didn't need to just because the people I worked with were great, it was an easy job, lots of downtime to fuck around with co-workers. Only bad part is that if we got a shit new hire, you were forced to be near them all day. Though if I didn't like working with them my boss would literally just fire them because keeping me was more important.

Too bad Corona ruined all that or I'd still be working there.

>>29764028
I can see fast food kitchen being not so bad. But actually directly interacting with scumbags at their tables on the floor in big sit-down restaurants is fucking cancer. That Waiting... movie covered perfectly just how shit "customers" are AND the general absolute state of life as a service wagie. That movie itself is good warning/motivational material.

>>29754507
>What motivates you /biz/?
Providing for my wife and future kids. My first year of trading was to get a down payment on a house, I met my now wife after that point, my second year was to fund a remodeling of the kitchen (it needed it badly, did you know they used to make cabinets out of milk crates?)
This third year I'll just reinvest everything, probably roll it forward until I need it for kids stuff.
I gotta get my house rewired at some point too, not sure how much that's going to cost but I imagine it's less than remodeling a kitchen.

>>29754507
Wow

>>29764500
>fast food kitchen
Aim for a good local bar/restaurant. Corporate fast food is awful, but if you swing a good owner/operator, you can find a middle ground between sit down and fast food.

>>29754507
Shut the fuck up you worthless neet faggot. This is one time where Reddit is right. Man is a hollow shell of what he should be without work.

>>29764291
and that sort of thing is first in line for automation to fully cuck humans too kek. Computers and robits can easily calculate the optimal truck loading method for space + load order based on delivery route AND THEN load the truck.

I'm not motivated to do anything right now and it's concerning. Ideally I'll get him by a bus and isekai into a worthwhile life.

Good post, anon, and very true. I switched from architecture to general contracting/management and make over $110k a year now from $80k before. Real estate development is the next field I want to get into. Construction is a wonderful knowledge set to have, as it can be applied to so many lucrative fields.

>>29764372
Wait like you read plans identify long lead time items coordinate submittals and can build construction schedules broken out into sub-trades?? Well spoken and well presented?

$45k minimum where the fuck are you working? I was doing $87k plus commissions and kick backs from subs and COs so maybe I’m a little further along than you but shit man get a better position if you can although it’s a tough market out there.

For real the laborers probably make more than that.

Currently doing a comfy hospital assistance job 9/10 I can just chill and they only call me a couple times a day almost earn 3k a month which is pretty good for a student

>>29765762
That’s it man! It teaches you the business of managing people and things AND you’re dealing with the real world. It’s tough and challenging there’s no doubt about that, but it’s an excellent field to have experience in.

Also SAME I have a B.Arch and worked for a single year in an office before jumping ship into construction and I have never looked back.

>>29754507
There is something to be said about autopilot, otherwise I wouldn't enjoy playing Runescape either. When my supervisor is out, everybody is chill, we do the job, and go home. These are the best days at the job.

When he's there, he has to change some rule about something at least once a week. He has to scribble all over the schedule. He has to ask about why something was done this way. We have to have a department meeting. He wants to know why I had my head down in the meeting. He wants to know why I said that thing to the new person. He wants to know why the project took so long. He wants to make sure we're working together correctly on projects that can be done by 1 person.

It would literally be easier to not have a supervisor - we would get more done.

with you, my plan has to be a 5 year plan. starting out now sucks, but keep going and keep learning, reading, researching, watching, buying, trading, selling, staking, all of that shit. get balls deep in this.

I don't know he English word for it but something along the lines of (Head (Night)) nurse assistant, you kinda just transfer some meds from department to department and give nurses thing like needles when they are in isolation and can't get out

>>29754507
There's nothing wrong with this. I also prefer chill comfy work to the stuff that uses a lot of brain power. People only want hard jobs for the prestige that comes with it, not because they like handling 100 of other peoples problems each day. If I could make $100k/yr on an assembly line and listen to music, I'd take it.

>>29765770
>For real the laborers probably make more than that
They do. They make twice what I make here. I also do the estimation end and submit bids on projects and project management for whatever jobs I end up procuring and the large scale multi-year jobs that actually require a field office. Right now I'm at one of the government jobs I won, like this morning I had to send in SDS, had to go over structural drawings with the foreman for our horizontal shoring we're putting up and coordinate loading dock times for deliveries with the building manager. After this I have to go to one of our large scale jobs and do a field survey for a CO repair quantities. Yesterday I sent in a bid from one of our jobsites. Later on today I'll be sending in hours for my jobs.
I get probably a 1k bonus at the end of the year, and I might get some of the profit sharing they do at the end of this year. I've been here 6 months, I don't have a college degree or any prior experience, I just got in because of nepotism, my father worked as a laborer for them for a number of years. I have no idea why I'm allowed to even do the amount of shit I've been doing. I just think of quitting every day because I don't think I'm cut out for it but I haven't yet because I think it's the right thing to do because of possibly making more later on. But I could literally go back to working my easy ass job back home and make more money right now.

Nice. Did you go back to school for construction or just start working at a construction firm?
I liked architecture a lot, and think design is fun, but they just get too easily cucked by clients. Development seems like the sweetspot of design and ownership of the project.

>>29754507
Easiest most comfy job I ever had was truck unloader and back room guy at a major retailer. Low wages but literally go in, work my hours, go home. Absolutely zero stress or thought needed.

>>29757807
>I think people who work minimum wage actually seek out the worst lowest paying jobs they can find just to complain about it.

They think that the only places to find work are at the places they go to every day. They never think to stop in that factory tucked away in the industrial district, no. Instead, they go apply at McDonalds or the local grocery store because that's where they see people working. NPC brain problems.

>>29754992
I worked in construction for 6 month and it was pretty comfy. You just turn off your brain, sweat, and see the work you have done at the end of the day. You go back home and get some nice cold drink and sleep like a baby at night.
It did not a viable long term however and I eventually went to college but it can be pretty relaxing and even fulfilling to live a simple life.

>>29766887
For people with ambitions, being a human drone is a nightmare. It might be comfy for a couple of weeks, but imagine doing it for the rest of your life. Absolute nightmare fuel.

>>29765314
I'm a filthy fucking leaf lmao

>>29767697
Not all ambitions are career based, though. If you'd rather focus your mental or physical energy outside of work, then an easy, low-stress job might be better. It's hard to expect a surgeon to go home and work on his novel, or for a construction worker to go home and train for a triathlon.

Oh yeah man if you can get your license and get a stamp then start a development company with construction experience it’s like an investors wet dream. Like I say tho it’s echelon shit, construction is not a young mans game but it’s immutable.

Also yeah designers get cucked so hard, at least most though there’s a few that I’ve worked with who knew how to run their shit but it’s a precious few. You end up with a better product.

I worked a production job in a very small town while in school. It was the only reasonable job in my area.
>McDonald’s pays $8/hr no benefits (at the time)
>cabinet factory pays $13/hr with shitty benefits
Not much of a choice. If I had stayed there as many people did and will for life, I imagine it looks like this:
>McDonald’s now pays $13/hr still no benefits
>cabinet factory did not increase wages, still $13/hr
Now when $15 minimum wage hits both will still be the same price. The production job hourly rate simply will not rise to $20/hr to stay relative to minimum wage. Rent absolutely will go up as there are more people looking to hop into places since there are many people making nearly double what they did 5-10 years ago on the bottom. I got the shittiest cheapest apartment possible at the time and had to have my parents co-sign to get me in even though I was making $13 and people at McDonald’s were making $8. It was $1000/month for a one bedroom in a town of 2000 people. I had to show 3 times the monthly rent in pay stubs to be approved without a co-signer. I made 2k before taxes. Thank fuck I got out of that and had parents that were willing to help, but to all the third world anons talking about how good we have it consider your $100/month rent and remember it’s all relative

Gotcha. Okay yeah no school no experience then you’re really at the whim of your employers. Also don’t sweat nepotism it rises and falls as those who can handle shit rise and fall. My folks work for the airlines honestly so wtf did I know about drywall. Having said that a degree will help you out a lot. Part time community college is doable and very respectable in construction. Take an AutoCAD class. Will be much more employable and can reasonably demand into the $65k range WITH technical expertise and an associates degree plus prior experience in management.

It’s definitely worth it. Six figures easy if you can make it into your mid-30s. It is certainly not easy tho I will give you that. It burns a lot of people out but it isn’t manual labor and it teaches you how to really think. In my experience at least.

>>29767398
same I used to work at an airport loading luggage into planes during my university student days. it was hard physical labor but you coul turn your brain off, the cameraderie with coworkers was great (no women!) and after work I would have a beer and sleep like a baby. zero stress because it was the same shit over and over again. but yeah I couldnt not see myself doing that for the rest of my life.

>>29756216
>i worked in a factory for a few years. it sucked because the team leaders were 50-60 year old boomers with a chip on their shoulder because they suffered through 30 years of wageslavery, so they could really treat you like shit.

This is honestly the worst part about jobs, by far. I don't care about wageslaving, doing anything hard is rewarding even if it is pointless. But the people who are bitter about working there ruin it.

ironically did the opposite by concentrating all my energy on observing and remmebering alot of random shit so my brain doesnt go numb. The guy in the op is a robot and I have seen lots of them in my factory job. Dont become like them because you get used to turning your brain off when things get repettive and repetition is when you learn so this is stupid as fuck always focus on the task at hand and try to make your brain spin

The truth is suffering is relative and true happiness comes down to one's own attitude and ability to be optimistic. You can chase happiness on the hedonic treadmill for as long as you can, but at some point you're going to trip and end up in a pit of despair. That Redditor is happier than a lot of us because he's accepted his position in life and has been set free.

i'd never want their job to be replaced by robots ever
because all that would lead to is weird laws about compliance and other stupid taxes and gay shit you see in inner cities relating to garbage laws

Christ I make 85k a year engineer fagging and slack half the day on my phone and still hate fucking working for someone else. I don't know how botton tier wagies do it I'd want to rope every day

Best job I ever had was at a shitty government warehouse when I was in my early 20s. I would smoke weed every day / every night and wake up still a bit high and go to work. Easy, stress free job driving forklifts and just picking up square boxes that were usually not that heavy

Of course I feel grateful that I did not stay there, my networth broke million recently (quite precisely at age 30) and if I would have just stayed there in my comfort zone I would be still a warehouse wagie and simpleton degenerate

Infinetly inferior to flat anime tiddies

As someone who worked doing menial labour for years as I worked my way through engineering I have to say I really miss the days where I could do some shitty repetitive task but have my thoughts to myself. I could listen to music all day, I was getting exercise, I had a nice tan and visible abs, and I could think about whatever I wanted while I worked; I didn't have to dedicate my mind to my job because there was nothing more complicated than "hit thing with hammer".

I didn't think about work after I got home, because it would just be the same thing the next day: "hit thing with hammer". I didn't get phone calls on my days off, I didn't dread going into work knowing that someone fucked something up.

STEM is a meme: you're trading physical slavery for mind slavery.

Everything balances eventually, it's the order of the natural world. Everyone flocked to Ethereum once they found out about DeFi and yield farming, the result being lots of newfags, scams, rugpulls and huge transaction costs. Everyone will flock to "insert awesome western country" once they realise that living there is a lot better than living in a shithole. You will be subdued by large numbers of 3rd world newfags and your delusional dreams of eternal wealth will be crushed, kek

If you any young aimless anons in here need a job but don't have any skills because of years of NEETdom or retail stagnation you can always go work for the federal government at TSA. A living wage and opportunity to transfer to almost anywhere in the country.

Real men live to work and get a feeling of accomplishment. For some that means busting your own balls to increase your potential as much as possible by increasing the value you create, but not everyone has that desire. Some people just want to feel something by finishing a day working to create something or putting themselves in a specific environment like the exposure to nature you get doing jobs like lumberjacking or working on an oil rig. I think a lot of people on /biz/ who shit on men for providing by working legitimate jobs are retards who haven't felt the satisfaction of providing for themselves and people they care about desu. Not everyone cares about the rat race to the top and that's ok.
