I can't even get a job with a degree and experience. Including jobs I've done in the past. Literally only two calling me in, one is clearly just wasting my time and the other is a part time position doing what I used to do. I have to demand significant pay because at current gas prices I am not going to drive that far. I ran the numbers and to keep it short it comes out to $32.50 a day after all associated expenses (gas, food, taxes) all while the work day is 4 hours but personal time spent on it is 2 hours on top (drive and prep).


I can "gamble" on stocks and make $162.50 in a weeks time with extremely low risk although such a low amount feels like a waste of time as upfront capital is large and I generally stay cash in case a big winner shows up. Just like that this job is also a waste of time.

What do I do now? Can't get a decent paying job and have to make money off stocks.

Pfft $16!? Part time!? 4 hours a day 5 days a week!? LOL! Thats only $47 a day after taxes. $35 after gas due to where it is. Personal time of 1 hour to prep alongside a $2.50 lunch made, $32.50. The kicker is I rounded up the low end of the salary that they inevitably don't allow to negotiate. May not even bother with the interview at this point. At $32.50 a day that's only $162.50 by eow.

And just like that this job is also a waste of time. If I can make that in a week with low risk with only 3 hours of effort but locking up all my money in, then why should I consider spending 20 hours and an additional 10 hours (drive included). The irony that I can make that in a week on stocks but am too lazy to
