i need a job, but this is my worst fear, seeing people you know in your shitty retail uniform

>>11302254
just find what makes you happy fren. ur gonna make it

>>11302269
I bought 25 link when they were 1.10 each fucking kill me, I can’t dump anymore into crypto

>>11302254
I earn 1450€ per month
the job isnt humiliating but fuck I'm poor
I took a massive loan in august and I'm waiting to make it, if I fail I will do bad things you know.

>>11302254
Start lifting again
Take it easy to begin with and establish the habit
Easy step you can take to improve your life
Dont give up

>>11302254
I'm in the same boat. I make $18 an hr, I come in really late and only work 2 days a week so I am only making about $200 per week. Maybe if I get on a good sleep schedule I could will myself to work a bit more, show up on time, getting a raise to $20 an hr. Working 20 hours a week would give $400. All of which would go into various shit coins.

Crypto is literally our only chance to make it. I am trying to get as much as I can before the next run up.

>>11302327
I’d kill to make 18 an hour. I make 11 and have to wear a stupid fucking uniform. Maybe the anon was right I should start lifting again but what’s the point when you’re a broke loser who lives at home and works a dead end job?

copypasta

>>11302254
ditto, but add a car, takeaway 2 yrs+20$ hr job, and add about 3.6k savings, . I got my neetbux denied which makes me feel even shitier. Gonna have to try to appeal.. problem is I put I have severe social anxiety.

>>11302327
>>11302401
making 20$/h is too much to say you are really wageucking
get the fuck out of here seriously

>>11302327
How are people like you so lucky to make that much and not take advantage? I make 12.25 I fucking wish I could make 18. If save up all my extra cash and not work after I filled up savings. Get it together. People who get these opportunities never fucking deserve it.

>>11302401
For anxiety you have to keep appealing multiple times, fail any psych test they give you, act incredibly scared or break down. I tried this fuckin 8 years ago without doing those things and kept getting denied. Now im a wagie. Also fuck you 20 bucks an hour. You faggots complain about making a seriously decent living and I will find and kill you both. I make 12.25 and still managed to save at least 5k last year being frugal. Come on fuck off with that shit.

I'm actually more qualified to talk about this than most anons.I'm employed with a cyber-techno machinations company, I do a lot of security analyst programming type work. Open source, decentralized, APIs, partnerships, you name it. We'd be one of the first companies in line for something like Chainlink, if the decentralized smart contract space had more value over traditional data exchanges. There's a catch though, an underlying flaw more deeply embedded in the bedrock of LINK than the very code itself. The flaw is with the concept, and it's this: Companies won't actually go through the hassle of trusting their data API's through crypto.

Now I can already hear your keyboards going frantic, but hear me out. /biz/ hates banks, and traditional data providers. But actual companies, businesses, and investors do not. There's an old saying you might have heard of: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!". The idea that any of our bosses would give us the go ahead if we approached them to put our companies valuable data in a smart contract on a cryptocurrency called Chainlink, that they've never heard of, we'd be laughed out at best and fired on the spot at worst. We already have API data buyers and providers we trust.

'But Chainlink is trustless!' I hear you cry, but is that really a good thing? Just listen to the sound of it. Businesses don't want to spend millions of dollars on something that is trustLESS, they want something trustFUL. 'But the reputation system!', doesn't that defeat the whole point of your coin? If companies only trust nodes with high reputation, what's the difference between trusting banks and data providers that already have reputation, but in real life not on a computer screen.

The fact is, LINK is going to share the same fate as ETH will. A lot of 'real world application' hype, with a lot of 'crypto world application' reality. Only, this billion supply coin isn't going to come close to the $1k that Etherum hit. Happy gambling though anons.

I dont think you understand. It has always been my parents getting my jobs for me. My other one which was for 4 yrs, seasonal @ 10.00 an hour..in the heat everyday. I only got the other one through sheer luck, a miracle, even. I lost more than half my crypto to malware somehow, and the other half crashed close to zero. So if anything, you should be getting mad a people like >>11302516

Why are you so sad anon? You make decent money and have some nice savings.
The fact that you are permatired is no good though. Maybe take one day off in the week and transfer one of your week days to the weekend. You wont lose any money and you will be able to rejuvenate.

I lost my job working in retail. Thank god. The problem really is that the social status of a retail wagecuck is literally as low as somebody who is unemployed and collects gobbermint welfare. I hustle right now doing illicit work for people and not paying taxes. I have more responsibility for myself but it feels better than being a retail worker. Literally the social status of a homeless crackhead.

>>11303034
How much do you get paid? What was your major?

>>11303197

depends how you frame it.
You can spin it as "i wanted something low key and that doesn't make too invested so i dont get bored". especially if you made it already with crypto or are on the way

>>11303529
Ok so if you want to be optimistic about even these jobs you can of cause. I had to run like a pretty huge section of the market myself. It def teaches you how to deal with hundreds of people irl and on the phone for hours on end without losing your cool and be able to multitask everything.

>>11303572

i work a retail job too. as far as they go it's okay. private business and i have so much autonomy i can literally sit on the toilet all day. Also have a specialized knowledge, its just a shame it isn't worth much financially.

Anyway, point is, retail is a low social proof job, but sometimes it has its benefits. If i make it with crypto, i intent to continue working here if i make it from crypto still lol

Another UK brah.
Uni in UK is weird. It's pretty much getting you jobs that make average wage at best. wtf. Degree is almost like finishing secondary school now.

I work a full-time job at a Best buy making $10/hr.
Fuck this stupid nightmare world, and fuck the people who fight tooth and claw to defend this dystopian system of work, buy, consume, die.
>But anon you live in America, you should be thankful! There are starving kids in Afri-

I work in retail currently and have also sold medical equipment to Medicare recipients over the phone, technical support sales, and other skilled labor jobs. I’d much rather ding people up all day and shoot the shit with hundreds of random strangers than worry about making quotas or multi tasking between seven different applications. It gives me time to think about the characters in my book, where I’m going with it, and how I’ll end it. And I do need to end it soon, the logical closure point is well on its way.

>>11302563
you forget automating contracts through blockchain will always be cheaper than actually using paper contracts which involve a whole big hassle of people just to make sure everything is signed OK - chainlink will enable smartcontracts to finally remove middlemen in contractualisation and thus save a whole lot of money - that my friend is what companies want

>>11302584
I am mad at the dumbposter for making so much an hour and only saving 25k. Fuck. But listen I also feel for you because I had severe social anxiety and still have it mildly. I've had on and off wagecuck jobs for 8 years since I graduated hs because of it. Dropped all my friends, stopped going to places. But listen to me right now, you have to go out into the world and expose yourself to social situations and your fears. It's literally the only and BEST way to slowly get better. Get therapy and I wouldn't really recommend the pill jew. Seriously I was a nervous wreck when I started a new job again last year. It took time but I can look people in the eye, have conversations, ride the bus, etc. I now rent my own room, support myself, and save money. I used to be so paranoid that I though people driving by on the street in cars were judging me. Expose yourself to situations you can handle. With time and practice your anxiety will begin to diminish. But it takes effort and patience. Be your own person now anon, find a shit job and practice with that. You'll make it but you have to try harder everyday.

Im kind of in the same spot but in a 3rd world shithole. I figured out beside my faith in Christ and reading the bible daily that on the biz side of things the most important thing first and foremost is to get the people that bring you down out of your life and start surrounding yourself with the people that you can create a symbiosis with - meaning they can benefit from you and you from them.
Always appreciate things because its better to be thankful than to complain, you're doing something good instead of something bad/hurtful/pointless and remember don't do drugs but if you have to cocaine>weed others are not worth doing.

You could be all that and have college debt and lost revenue from the opportunity cost of college

I know this feel, Anon. I'm 26 and I've been working at the same shitty restaurant job for 10 years now. I started off as a dishwasher, but now I'm a bartender, so I guess I've moved up the ranks, but I'm still in a shit position. I hate seeing people I went to HS with. A lot of them are done with their degrees, getting married, having kids, and buying homes, and all I'm doing is working a soul crushing job, taking classes at community college and just wondering what I want to do in life. I've switched majors like 2 times now and I'm still unhappy and lost. I'm hating my finance major right now. I thought I would love to work in an office space, but now that I think about it, I'm not even sure if that job is right for me. I've tried doing other shit too. I've tried to teach myself code and basic IT shit, and I couldn't even do that.
I'm hoping this pain will go away and I will find my calling in life.

Sorry to hear that I'm sure it's like 100% more difficult in a 3rd world country to make a decent living. If you budget right you can make it. Definitely agree that people should be thankful for what they have. I'm happy for the most part just want to make more money so I can save and retire earlier and see my family more.

People will never be satisfied with your work. You're not supposed to derive that, "I did a good job and worked hard" for others. You're supposed to work hard for yourself, your integrity, your own character that you had to build. If you know you were "the man" and did good that's all that should matter to you personally. Rarely is there a manager or perosn in charge that can see good work and a great worker for what they are. But you also have to take care of yourself and set your future self up. You made good money, if you saved it for later in life for a family or whatever makes you happy that's what is important. I don't regret failing at other jobs and losing money because noe i know what's important. Sorry anon it's not you I'm just personally pissed that people who get real good money squander it when others can put it to better use.

mostly tired of being broke, stupid loser. Now I have 700 saved up but thats the most I ever had in my entire life

Im not saying I will never smoke again, I just dont have time for that now. I will smoke one when I will be writing a chapter about my weed smoking, (Im wrtiing a shitty book)

Theres a difference between wagecucking for a few years making 140k and wagecucking for 50 making less than 15 an hour. You have savings and investments right? You make 140k? How much do you need to live on? You should be retired already.

At some point I realized I wasn't doing shit with my life. Not sure if i'm depressed or not, but alcohol made everything permanently numb. I couldn't enjoy anything, and I didn't give a shit about my future.

And if you think western women in their home countries are degenerate, I wouldn't recommend going backpacking. They're even more mental when let loose abroad.

I spent three years traveling. It was my whole identity back home. It was a running joke asking me when I was leaving again. I completely lost track of my life.

wtf? how? did you go to bartending school?

>>11308225
Also, how did you make money? Or did you just save up? (how much?)

>>11308270
I freelanced as a web developer. Mostly for German clients. At one point I slept in a tent for six weeks during winter, while working from a coworking space during the day.

>>11308470
jezus, well atleast you had some nice experiences

>>11302362
Idiots, I worked for literally three fiddy merkelbux per hour waking up at 5 in the morning and dressing up like a clown, stop complaining for making over than 10 eur/usd an hour.

Put everything in LINK, REQ, RDN and whatever else advances the ETH ecosystem, and pray. But stop whinning

>>11308597
McDonalds, Rotterdam?

>>11308616
I'm pretty sure they have wages better than "literally three fiddy" in Holland. "Literally three fiddy" is, quite literally, three point five euros per hour

> I completely lost track of my life.
I didn't even come back to Europoor...
I finally bought a suit 6 years ago, found a job abroad, changed country a couple of times, recently got a better job, bought an apartment.
It was very difficult to catch up with people who's been working non-stop since they were 23yo, it took me 6 years.
Glad you succeeded too.
Other long-term backpackers I met are still kind of lost (e.g. become drug addicts, primary school teachers or pizza makers).

>>11309403
>It was very difficult to catch up with people who's been working non-stop since they were 23yo, it took me 6 years.
can you elaborate on this more?

>>11309408
I travelled the world between 25 and 30yo.
When I started looking for a job again I was around 30yo, with very little work experience. Most of my competitors had at least 6-7 years of work experience so they were obviously favoured when applying for a good job.
So I had to start from the bottom: I could find a job because I learnt several languages in my travelling but they were low pay jobs (around 1000 USD a month).
Now that I'm 38 I got a better paying job (2500 USD a month, living in a developing country it is a lot of money), but I have to compete with people with 15 years of work experience in the field having only 6 years of work experience myself.

Couldn't you simply lie?

>>11302626
Of swift uses link it’ll go to $100 overnight

>>11309535
> Couldn't you simply lie?
I lied for entry level jobs, but as you go up the ladder the selection process is much more arduous:
- they consider only experience for which you can provide evidence and certificates
- they ask you for references in the field and they actually call them up (also, the upper you go, the more all the bosses know each other)
- they actually ask you to provide some of your previous work to evaluate
- in my field (R&D) you also need to present a minimum number of publications, etc.

Try to get some work experience of any kind in your preferred sector, e.g. work for a charity, get an internship, and start from there. It is not easy but it is never too late (how old are you? any degree?)
First tip I can give you: showing up every day is enough for most entry level jobs (most people cannot even do that).

>>11309981
29, no real work experience, just a huge gap in my resume from 21 until today. I spent most of my time playing video games but I started working on myself a few years ago and have one successful business under my belt, but it's a bit scummy ("Internet Marketing" type stuff). Most of my income was from finding a profitable ad with a landing page, then scaling that up until I made like $50k in on week, with only pennies for the rest of the year... that kind of thing. So when it comes to real work experience, I have a lot of experience with various things--servers, linux, programming, etc--but I have no real shirt-and-tie, suck the boss off for overtime job experience

>>11309981
>>11310002
I should note that I had to learn a lot for this "job". For example, I took a programming class and a statistics class at a local community college just to better enable myself to run the numbers on my various advertising campaigns and flesh out exactly how to optimize them. That was great for my income and I do value the experience and the knowledge, but it's not really resume-quality stuff.

>>11310058
I think that putting in your resume that you generated 50k with a single project would look very good in your resume, make sure to include that and brag about it in interviews.
Plus you have some skills (statistics and some programming languages) and a few certificates to prove it.
So your CV is not empty at all, plus you can put that you have been the director of your own internet company for 8 years.
I believe that's enough to get you at least an interview for an entry level job in your sector.

>>11310160
>I think that putting in your resume that you generated 50k with a single project would look very good in your resume, make sure to include that and brag about it in interviews.
Suppose it was questionably legal, definitely in violation of the TOS of the advertiser, porn-related, and so on...

>I believe that's enough to get you at least an interview for an entry level job in your sector.

I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life ten years ago, it was like the inside of my head was on fire. If you asked me now I couldn't tell you.

>>11306796
Get a real cert like CISSP and you will be set for life, do it bitch.

>>11302254
Unless you have a disability making you ineligible, do a three year contract with the Navy/Airforce/Army. Do a technical job like BMET (biomedical equipment technician). You'll get life experience in the eyes of normalfags, money to live off, not much but you won't breaking bank. Finally after three years you leave and qualify for 36months of tuition + monthly housing stipend dependent on area.

Now I only recommend this under these two circumstances.

1. Technical job.
2. 3 yr contract(some technical jobs require 4yrs)

Option 3. Join the reserves/ng and use their tuition assistance, but you'll need a weekly job to pay for living expenses.

>>11302254
Loser too,

Even worse I got scammed 1k.

I'm following the meme, cause fuck it.

Pic related.

Yeah it’s pretty much all LARPs. Most people here on down on initial investment so don’t let it get to ya OP. Hang in there for another year and then we can finally commence the golden bull. Think of it as an opportunity to earn more money to put into crypto before it returns to the likes of which humans have never witnessed before.

>>11302254

at least you have some job, that puts you ahead of a lot of us on here.

>>11310967
Similar experience here, tried to be a librarian and thought it was all I could want, being a book lover. Found it impossible to enjoy because I got found out for getting a little TOO into /pol/ and libraries being the most liberal places on Earth (its literally nonstop feminine energy mixed with #metoo stories galore) I was evil eyed into needing to gracefully quit my job.

I saved 29K in cash and decided to try swing trading as a career. I eventually lucked into the weed thing buying the middle of the Tilray and IGC crazes and now up to 52K.

Otherwise I am really dead inside and can't provide a masculine image right now because of being poor and no cool job, so no ladies love me. Not really sure if this is what I want to do with my life but sticking in there.

>>11304688
This is why I holed myself up in a warehouse rather than trying the retail or restaurant game. There is 0 chance of me ever seeing anybody I knew from school unless they become an employee or a truck driver. Plus the work is fairly solitary, bare minimum of interaction needed for me to do my job.

>show up to work
>have practically an entire building to myself because i run the department and there isn't much to do
>schedule my tasks for the day
>pop in my headphones and get to work moving shit around and shipping stuff

>>11312637
As long as your in a trade school for a decent trade like hvac or plumbing you can still make it anon.

>>11312811
what degree

>>11312830
A stupid under paying degree that is a mix of biology, chemistry, and microbiology. The degree is too spread out so I lose to people who majored in one subject. Thus I can't go into anything lucrative like pharma. I was a stupid highschool kid who couldn't be decisive enough to choose one thing and I just kind of went with the flow. Also made the mistake of getting addicted to csgo during college. I overall enjoyed the lectures and labs though

>>11311674
Coworking spaces cost money. You can't just be there for free. I paid about $400 a month a few years ago. But sure, if you fork out the money, have great social skills, you might find work there.

>>11302305
2700€ a month here, still feel shit. I'm always going to be the middle class wage slave. never rich. probably never poor.

I’m in my 30s in IT helpdesk work. Going to be laid off in a few months. Too ashamed to share what I do for a living at family gatherings. Started crypto in Aug 2017 and down more than 20k of initial investment.

>>11302299
Put your fucking pay check into chainlink you stupid fuck, stop buying shit. Their is so reason why you couldn't haven't been throwing $100 a week or every second week. You have no responsibility, you have no children to feed, no mortgage to pay, nothing like this. You should be putting everything you can and staying at home doing nothing but shit posting on biz and buying more crypto. Fucking do it now

>>11312938
Do you keep adding more money to your crypto portfolio in hopes that it will rebound or have you given up on it? Resulting in you just leaving as is and accepted whatever result happens? I played around with stocks and robinhood and lost a bit more than I would have liked, but now I have accepted the loss and won;'t put more in.

>>11302305

It would be helpful to state your country. The cost of living can be very different even within Europe.

This is actually really good money. Well above average in NET terms.

I'm in Germany as well and soon be working for 3800 EUR (2300 EUR net).

Are you married?

>>11311506
I started doing it because having something to stick my extra money in gave me an incentive to go to work more often since I don't have a whole lot of expenses. Putting in the work and then missing the boat on jumping to real employment makes it seem like it's not worth bothering to do much else.

>>11313220

>>11313220
>This is actually really good money.
yeah it's not bad. but we're not on /biz/ for good wages are we. I want to get rich but crypto ain't gonna do it. fucking making me depressed.

I work as a forest firefighter April - October but it ranges depending on the fire season. The rest I go on unemployment. Make 23 bucks an hour and can get a shit tonne of over time in the summer at 1.5x and 2x with a lot of my living paid for while I work.

Should have studied harder in school, retard. Literally the easiest system to make it in if you put in the effort.

I'm 21 right now and I got kicked out of uni last year. Nothing that I did, it was my parents fault. Turns out they had been filing taxes as single instead of married and the uni picked me for verification (send in a bunch of documents). Then my parents made me do the 1040x amended returns but the IRS never got back me despite me contacting them throughout the year. Then I had to mark that I wasn't going to attend and I talked to my academic advisor why and she said she would help me get a year off to help me, but that never did anything. Instead I lost all my scholarships for not attending and the uni made me pay them back (30K, I'm on a payment plan). If that wasn't bad enough I would have to re-apply when the tax stuff gets fixed and now I also have to pay my student loans (around 20k) and I don't have anything to show for my time at uni. Parents felt bad for a bit but now they don't talk me because I don't really do anything but work and stay in my room. I honestly don't think they care anymore and it pisses me off because they make comments like "Why don't you just go back to school already?" or "You won't be shit without a degree." To make it worse all my savings at the time went to REQ at .70 and ICX at $9.

>>11305628
