/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'm a student and I don't make a living.

>>1303527
This. A large portion of /jp/ consists of college students.

I lay in bed.

Regret ever becoming the way I am. I somehow get paid for it.

>>1303533
Alas, I remember a time when most of 4chan was comprised of college students.

These days it seems like there are more and more high schoolers.

>>1303537
If that paid I'd be a millionaire by now.

>>1303537
So how does it feel to leech off of the government?

I live with my parents leeching off them and I don't regret what has happened to me.

>>1303547
America has no such system for our ways.

I don't. I'm thinking about trying medical transcription, though, since you can work from home.

I work for the CIA. I'm fucking serious.

1. a scholarship
2. a job

>>1303547

>>1303559
I told you, that's a pretty bad field to get into to.

>>1303550
My parents are too poor to leech off of.

>>1303563
Are you one of those paper-pushers?

>>1303568
I wish Yayoi were a real person just so I could give her a dollar.

>>1303569
I looked it up on various sites and they all said that employment opportunities for it would grow. Their argument for this made sense as well. Why do you say that it's a dying field? Perhaps we just live in different countries? I live in the US.

I thought medical transcription was for housewives and disabled people? Can you really make enough off of it to support yourself?

I get money from the government because I'm a university student.

Not enough to live of when taxes are paid, but it at least covers the rent for my dorm apartment and a little extra.

>>1303584
From what I read full-time work gets you about $14 an hour. Not a lot, but that's enough to live off of.

>>1303584
Also, what qualifications/skills do you need?

I want to live truly alone, but have no means to support myself.

I maintain a FORTRAN system that was written before I was born. I also study part-time.

>>1303589
An associate's degree or completion of a 1-year certification program.

I make shitty games that losers buy.

Also, a dev+ programmer.

>>1303593
Same.

>>1303599

Shit, you work for EA too?

>>1303596
That's it? You don't need to be particularly skilled in anything (like typing, communication, medical knowledge... etc.)?

>>1303609
Well, given what you're doing, it would help to have good typing and listening skills.

If you live in the US this might find this helpful.

>>1303609
I think you'll need to know some Latin.

>>1303616
You'd need to know some medical terminology so you could spell it correctly. I'm sure you'd learn all of the medical information needed while being certified.

>>1303612
I don't think I could really do that...

College students? You guys think we are all in college? How in the hell would I be a NEET if I were in college?

Why are college students so damn self centered? Why do college students consider anyone who isn't one them or a college grad an inferior human? Most of the world consists of humans who are not college grads or college students.

>>1303520
Apparently it requires going to college which rules me out. I wouldn't qualify if I wanted to go and certainly can't afford it in any case.

>>1303637
Same.

>>1303637
>Why do college students consider anyone who isn't one them or a college grad an inferior human?

That's what schools teach. No college means you'll be a failure and homeless.

My sister dropped out of a liberal arts college so I have a pretty low opinion of her. She's also going to marry a jew. Whenever I'm depressed, I just think "Well, I'm not her" and everything's a little bit brighter.

>>1303637
>Why do college students consider anyone who isn't one them or a college grad an inferior human?

We need to justify spending tens of thousands of dollars on a piece of paper and being seen as un-hireable yuppie scum for all the years it takes to spend that money.

>>1303643
>dropped out of a liberal arts college
That raises my opinion of her.

NEET
Not currently engaged in Employment, Education or Training
NOT CURRENTLY ENGAGED IN EDUCATION

>>1303656
only if she finds something better to do.

or something she wants to do.

>>1303656

How? It was a pretty lousy college, you hardly had to do jack shit to get a degree. And she went and spent money from the state that was meant to be used for school to get her nipples pierced. She's retarded.

>>1303643
Oh yeah? My brother just started going to a very conservative christian college.

It's no Bob Jones or anything, but...hey, it's pretty much right down the road from it.

Yeah. I didn't know for a long time that the Bob Jones University that I lived so nearby was so infamous.

>>1303676
>get her nipples pierced.

I don't care how many degrees you've got - if your nipples are pierced, I'm out.

I'm going to apply for a few shit jobs on Monday actually, so I'll find out then.

I was thinking about applying at some places that offer night/graveyard shifts.

Anyone have experience with those?

>>1303737
it's not good for your health in the long run, but if you don't mind sleeping during the day, sure.

>>1303741
I usually just go to sleep around 7/8AM, so it's not that different.

>>1303737
Hmm... I may do this. It would certainly be easier for me to get to work since I would have to use my mom's car and she works during the day, and I already sleep all day.

>>1303747
maybe some factory work or something if you like that kind of thing, then.

or if you can get to be a nightwatch at a warehouse, it would be pretty cool.

I know I'd pick warehouse nightwatch over factory work any time.

I dropped out of university last year and I worked for a vicar agency in random places. I did one night on a cake factory, and that made me decide to start on a different university course.

Fuck factory work.

get a job in the videogame industry.

Damn, even if I do get a night shift away from people, I don't think I could even go out to get to the job or perform the task..

Sub anime/VNs and live off the donations.

>>1303775
seriously, nightwatch at a warehouse - how can you NOT perform the task?

walk your rounds with a flashlight, make sure everything's fine. If some niggers show up, push the alarm button.

>>1303784
That's not really what I was referring to.

It's difficult for me to even step outside and especially to do anything outside my house.

Maybe I should see someone, but I have no insurance nor money...

>>1303793
start by just going outside, then.
how do you even get food if you don't go outside?
maybe go to a park and sit there for a while.

>>1303815
Living with parents; what else?

I really want to just live alone, but I know I can't do it...

>>1303817
I hate it when i wake up and i find out i'm not a schoolgirl lesbian.

>>1303817
too bad there aren't many Misaki-chans around.

get a job (anything full-time will do), take some classes in something, apply for a "real" job when you have some qualifications.

>>1303834
I hate it when i wake up and i have hair indents on my cheek.

>>1303834
I don't think I could ever do a "real" job, no matter what qualifications I get.

>>1303835

>>1303841

>>1303841
you could start with working in a shop of some sort, then.

that way, you can work yourself up, and maybe get promoted or something.

>>1303850
I don't think i could ever do a "real" job, no matter what qualifications i get.

>>1303851
you don't need any qualifications to work in a shop if you start at the bottom.

just accept cash at the counter to start.

I always thought about going into stocks to earn money from home, but then I remember all the tragic stories from people who tried to do that.

The same goes for online advertising, although I have seen some people who make decent money from it on here.

>>1303878
don't go into stocks unless you have money to spare.

the dumbest thing you can do is of course taking a loan at a bank and invest it in stocks.

I don't have any experience with online ads, but generally, a porn site with no actual porn hosting on it (just link referral) would be an easy way to go, I think.

>>1303887
The correct term is pyramid schemes, watch more NHK.

>>1303884
My parents would be so proud when I tell them what my part-time job is at college if I did that.

>>1303878
scams scams there is no easy way to get money stocks, real estate + online advertising are all scams.

I am actually a detective making 80k a year.

>>1303886
of course they would

they'd stay up all night browsing your site to make you a little money, they'd advertise it to their friends, etc.

I will be a medical officer next year. Then I would finally be able to afford those darn dolls that Kordox keep posting.

wow so many losers on /jp/ who would've thunk?

>>1303897
>thunk?

what the hell?

>>1303897
Reported, you don't belong here.

I hope you get banned.

>>1303887
Just because stupid people do stupid things with them doesn't mean they are scams. They're just not a "LOL EASY MONEY" button.

>>1303903
It's funny because the majority of their money comes from innocent little kids who see an ad for a free 360 and can't even buy anything from those advertisers.

I'm actually alternating between work and NEET lifestyle. Worked summer as carpenter, now living of he cash I made. Gotta make more soon, though.
