Is there a job that doesn't make me wanna kill myself after a month?

I don't know how people manage to work the same job for multiple years doing repetitive work for shit pay.

What /biz/iness industries are worth getting into? I was thinking a boat job

>work for a set period
>off for a couple weeks
>good money
>time to travel and visit

What jobs does /biz/ have?
Do you actually enjoy it?

>> No.11319007

I would advise to find something more in line with your personality. I know meyer's-briggs is a meme, but it can give you a general idea of what kind of work you will actually enjoy.
Beyond that you will have to find what works for you.

I'm a network engineer. I get to work independently, the company doesn't bother me, and I get to spend most of my day on ToS trading. I like networking.

>> No.11319347

get into manufacturing or something that involves working with your hands.

i worked a wage cuck job for shit pay for 12 years. couldn't find a job on my own so i went to a temp agency and six months later im doing well for myself.

>>11318956
Just do something where you don't deal directly with customers. Fuck customers. Retail is for cucks who don't care if they get stepped on. Customers are assholes, so anyone with a brain or self respect will hate jobs like that.

this was pretty helpful actually, thank you

I'm currently working on a seafood farm, and it's enjoyable, but there is nowhere to go in the company. It's a dead end and that's the way they want to keep it.

I'll apply to some temp agencies. Maybe I can use it to gain experience in a field that's enjoyable/profitable...

A few weeks now. If they fire me it doesn't matter, but they wouldn't fire a pile of shit. Probably too scared someone's going to sue. I don't know. I'm waiting till my cousins wedding is done with, then I'm moving, so this job is irrelevant to me. I'm just sticking it out to collect a couple more checks.

thanks m8

>>11319604
what kind of requirements though

>>11319659
been there. It's alright but the state I'm in has more farms than stores, so most farms barely break even so there isn't much money to be made

usually there are trimmer jobs that they need people for, especially during the summer.

Boast about how much weed you consume, your favorite brands and strains, let them know you know what's good and you'll get the job, usually.

the turn over rate is pretty high cause it can be mind numbing work at large farms. Smaller farms are a little more enjoyable but less profitable

I pick up and drop off pallets or tubs of parcels from warehouse to warehouse with a pretty set run (only needed to go to 1 new location this month), it's a pretty good gig.
>$18/hr
>Company provides the van, all expenses paid for.
>Solid 40 hours a week with a few hours of overtime available, probably more around Christmas since there will be more volume.
>Listen to whatever I want, but usually just listen to music since the podcasts I've checked out aren't great and haven't bothered with audiobooks since that requires too much concentration IMO
>No annoying customers or coworkers to deal with
Started 2 months ago as my 1st job after 4.5 years of being a NEET since leaving high school, I much prefer it to school and I feel like it wont make me wanna blow my brains out after a year, but also want to do something more with my life than being another random wagie when I save some money.

I actually sucked a dick to earn some money before when I was a uni student, I was pretty desperate for money so I took a photo of my moist mouth and ass.

Got a lot of requests from middle aged men. They really like to suck my dick for some reason.

So, for about 2 years I earned around $80K a year getting my dick sucked and cum drank.

Shit, anon, I think maybe write a self-help book or something if you just want to make money. Maybe offer life coaching services online.

Yeah, like I said, it should be looked at for the general idea of what you might enjoy. You'd probably thrive in a leadership role, regardless of the industry. It's up to you to find which industry that is.

I'm INTP btw
