Summer job fixing computers at a police station. I was 15 and all they did was make fun of me

Residential HVAC, crawling under dirty houses, going in 125 degree attics during the summer. Doesn’t get much worse than that.

>>13101446

Making "hot calls", basically like cold calls except the person has already used the service before and I'm asking if they liked the service and if they want to make another appointment. It was for lawn aeration.

Not a very funny job, but I do have one story...I called this guy Jesus. Not Hay Sus...I straight up asked "is Jesus there?" There was a long pause and the guy said no one has ever called him that before, which I found odd given that his fucking name is Jesus.

>>13101481
You fucking pussy I had the best time of my life when I was a HVAC installer

>>13101446
Worst probably was cashier at Sears working with nothing but old women

>>13101475

Cops are a tough group to get along with if you weren't in armed services before.

I was a janitor.

Any of the minimum wage jobs in backwater towns I have had. Shits so bad, meth and opi's everywhere and the store managers want their moneys worth out of you anyway so you end up spending 8 hours wiping the same 4 surfaces.

sorting paper and fibre coming down a conveyor belt at a recycling plant

>>13101523

I always wondered how that works. How do you know what is recyclable and what isn't? What's the nastiest thing you had to remove from the belt?

>>13101535

How did you think it worked? You think it just sorted itself?

>>13101545

No I've seen videos of it but I wonder how you know. Like how you can identify if something is recyclable and what the composition of various trash is just by looking.

at a logistic company in germany, summer job, putting packages into pallets

>just 1 other german coworker, everyone else foreigner
>just 3 people spoke german at all
>lifting 20kg packages for 8 hours, minimum wage
>they didnt want to pay the slave wage at the end of month, had to insist lol
>when I applied for the job they were impressed I passed the idiot test so fast (literally crossed pictures of things you shouldnt do at work with the caption question if im allowed to do it)

atleast my body got ripped, lost like 10 kg in 2 month. it was my first job and i sweared to myself never to end like that

>>13101481
>Doesn’t get much worse than that.

Yes, increased chance for lung cancer in the future because of all the abestos and other carcinogenic particles you've inhaled.

>>13101523
At least it's easier than doing QA/packing in a factory.

>>13101577

You have to do the shit jobs to motivate yourself to be better. I've never experienced time as slow as I did at that telemarketer job. Just crazy life sucking.

Working for Tesla Motors.
Literally destroyed my joints in a matter of months.

>>13101622
Are you in Reno?

>>13101471
Tell me more. Was it in NJ?

>>13101535
Where I worked it comes out loose. I was responsible for cardboard, which is easy to identify. Videos show them moving about half the speed and one third the volume of the line I was on. It's a private company though

>>13101545
Do you know what happens to all the cigarette butts in the beer cans/bottles I toss in the comingled?

>>13101622

What happened?

>>13101728

Landfill. Only clean items get recycled from my understanding

Just putting car parts in a repetitive awkward motion within 30 second time (sometimes 20 seconds if behind quota) span over the course of 12 hours for hundreds of cars a day, 5 days (sometimes 6 days) a week.

The supervisor talked me into pulling a 24 hour shift once, so I did for the good boy points. That put me in another tax bracket for that overtime, so I lost any profit because I was taxed more. I almost crashed on the way home because I was so tired.

I was getting a tingling pinch nerve sensation in my back and joints were on fire. They sent me to a proprietary doctor that works for the company and basically said I was fine. I quit after that doctor lied.

3 months later I was given 100 dollars for a class action lawsuit, that I didn't even know I was involved in for malpractice and shit work conditions.

It took about 2 years for the tingling nerve sensation to go away.

anyway, fuck tesla and elon.

that IS NOT how taxes work bro

Doing tech support for linux ports of various AAA videogames.

>>13101756
Fuck you bitch I was doing everything including insulating the ductwork getting covered in fiberglass while sweating in 90 degree heat

What I liked about it was my coworkers would always smoke me out throughout the day

I was 17 and making $11/hr but fuck it just was a time in my life where everything in the world seemed so simple

24 and making $24/hr now and almost quit because I didn't get a raise when I asked kek funny how life changes eh

*Sip*

>>13101446
I've probably over 20 jobs in my life. I would say the worst one was when I worked at a Russian tech refurbishing company. I could barely speak the language as it is and being unable to communicate with everyone around you without sounding like a moron is fucking miserable.
I lasted 2 weeks.

>>13101446
i did road construction for a summer. it was horrible. working on the black asphalt in the 90 degree heat. felt like working on the sun. dangerous as hell too. cars flying by. everyone there was an ex convict.

>>13101446
never had a bad job.
16-18 worked at a local computer shop
18-22 was an RA at my local college (zero writeups)
22-38 worked at a fortune 10 company in IT, started in development and then went to management.

>>13101446
Broadcasting, it was awful. Complete chaos, high employee turnover, piss poor-wages, on call every hour of every day, no paid overtime. I finally understood why cocaine is so prevalent in the film and tv industry, because they couldn't cope with the ridiculous expectations without it.

Don't even think about it, don't even try it's pure hot garbage, however I did meet some cool boomer engineers who had been working the same job since the age of 16, they were really cool, The Gen X execs were complete fucking turds.

all I know is i got taxed more and made a marginal profit.

My "bad" jobs are my best jobs.

I've done retail, bar work, warehouse work, manual labour and even butcher/fishmonger at a supermarket all whilst young or studying to get by.

These jobs were far comfier than the job I studied for.... in an office all day, working with idiots, even though the pay is now far better.

I'm not beneath doing anything and if I could live comfortably i'd do anything like being a cleaner - just putting a shift in and forget it when you're done.

At the end of the day wagecucking is all the same, just a tradeoff on money and whats required.

StrideRite Children’s Shoe Store

Cart pusher at target.

>cleaned the bathrooms (funny they didn't mention that on the job application or interview)
>had to push the carts by hand, no electric pusher
>once had to clean period blood off women's bathroom floor

It's ok though, i'm now making $85k at 26yo. We're all gonna make it

Inner city supermarket management.

- Low wage
- Attacked with needles by drug addicts
- People burnt themselves to death at petrol station for suicide, trying to put them out with fire extinguishers
- Attacked with knuckle dusters by thieves
- Dealt with schizophrenics with knives
- Verbally abused daily
- Long hours, no recognition

Retail is the fucking worst.

Janitor at a mosque in Christchurch New Zealand. What a mess.

Electronic store, sold; fridges, TVs, laptops, kitchen stuff and smartphones to ppl
Money was okay-ish but you had to spend 10-12hrs (14days/month) standing up and the calculation method for bonuses was fucked up
You earned points instead of commission from the value of sold stuff, to give you some idea I earned more points from
selling additional warranty ($50) to $200 vacuum cleaner than I did by selling latest $1000 iPhone without anything else.

It wasn't that bad once you got hang off stelling shit to ppl,
the best way to make money was to sell them shittier TV that had biggest points multiplier (aka the ones that worst selling products)
and sell it on credit with like (0.5-5% interest) and some additional stuff to that like; soundbar, wall mount, additional warranty.

That way person comes in wants tv for $1000 and you sell them $1000 tv with; $400 additional 2y warranty, $100 wall mount
and obviously sell it on credit just to push him as far as he can go. That way his finall cost around $1600-$1700 if we consider interest on the credit.

Good job if you don't mind walking around all fucking day, dealing with some shitty customers, and obviously to be the top seller you need to SELL
and don't care about customer tell him any shit he wants to hear as long as you get the most out of him.
Selling was fun dealing with returns, credit checks, warranty shit was annoying but I enjoyed selling just because I had Wolf of Wall Street mindset.

If you have any questions feel free to ask them

Enlightened post, anon. I'm only at my second job--my first was working the night shift at the grocery store--and I already know its all downhill from here. Yes, I will be able to afford my own apartment and take care of my car, and suchlike, but I will never again know the sublime comfiness of listening to Herotodus on audiobook or dark ambient gregorian chant while stocking shelves under the dreary glow of the supermarket--having a coffee at 2am on the weekends at a 24 hour joint, writing down my thoughts in a notebook, taking walks through the hills at night, drinking the moon, the stars and the ambrosial air. Those nights I was transported--I saw a strange, new world. Things hidden were revealed to me. The queen of the night unveiled herself to me and I found myself in a dream. I long for nothing but to return to her embrace, but I fear that one cannot enter through the same door twice.

>>13101446
worked a construction job,pay was shit, the boss was a literally slave driver for dumb shit, as luck would have it i got the flu after 3 weeks and they fired me, a less shitty job opened up around that time right as i was recovering.
This job so was bad people literally walked off it after a few hours because the supervisor was such a dickhead slave driver he drove everyone miserable

>>13101446

Based anon. The only bad job I ever had was at Ruby Tuesday and that lasted two days when I was seventeen. Sent home for not ironing my shirt, apparently. Never went back. I've done it all but for some reason it's the bottom tier sitdown chains that are the worst in my experience. I was also told to fuck off from my application to Ihop for not calling back fast enough because I was at a funeral.

hanging fiber glass insulation was by far the worst

>>13101446
why are so many jobs beyond shit, like i dont expect to be treated like a prince. But why do they have to be so utterly shit, some jobs have such high turn overs it makes you wonder what the hell the HR and management at these companies are thinking

hurhurhur oh youre just a cog in the wheel, you can be replaced at any time hurhurhur

shit like that is why people just ghost employers just dont turn up dont call nothing. When i was younger i used to respect the idea of employer, he is giving me a job so i will give him his time, as i grew older i said fuck these motherfuckers , sure their are good bosses but those are rare unicorns. I honestly give zero loyalty to any company i work for now.

To the young anons, even if you think your job is great now, always try to find a better one with better benefits and better pay.ALWAYS

>>13102939

Because there are tasks that are awful, and you can't get people to feel positive or engaged about them no matter what.

>>13102961
so the answer is to be a shitty boss on top of it?

Sold payroll services to businesses.

Had to cold-call and knock on the doors of businesses. Did it for 6 months and made a total of 3 sales, before getting fired.

Worst job of my life. They basically showed me some powerpoint slides on payroll for 2 days, then gave me a cubicle and told me to go sell. What a joke.

I do manual labor now and I'm 10x happier than that cubicle shit.

Cashier in a bourgie neighbourhood

Rolled pizza dough at round table

It was extremely repetitive and mind numbing and you were sore all over at the end of the day because you had to keep lifting giant bags of pizza dough up above your shoulders

The worst part was my alchoholic/rageoholic boss who would constantly berate you all day . She loved to tell you that you were lazy and had a bad attitude no matter how hard you worked . Ironically I started with a remarkably good attitude and it only got worse because she told me it did

>>13101481
can confirm. HVAC / plumbing / mechanical is very hard very disgusting work. however it pays better than most doctors.

Peeled onions in nyc, a crew of around 10 people all peeling onions by hand after they came out of a machine that was supposed to peel them completely
All cash, 10$ an hour and paid in the morning - always night shifts to catch the markets in the morning - main customer was hummus company
The crew were mainly Mexicans, one black, one Georgian (the country) and ukranian - these two were my ins

Me worked at pizza place buffet where manager sold drugs in pizza boxes for first job

It was basically impossible for keep up with endless stream of plates, cups, and cooking equipment
So drugged out manager always yelling at me ;_;

Was fired after finding out about drugs

Ironically they switched to paper plates and cups after me fired

My worst job was when I worked for this small yoga/fitness company.
I was their media/tech guy, basically the whole job had me converting their HD master copys of programs into broadcast and DVD copys.
Most of the people who worked there where boomers and had no idea how to do anything.
I think about a week in I was asked to convert over 200 programs from SD to HD, I told them that's not possible with out the master, they told me to do it anyway.
So after that they asked if I could also make some DVD covers.
Another week goes by and I'm compleating the covers when the person who gave me the converting job comes in shouting at me.
They told me it was all wrong and that the distribution company won't accept it.
I told them the problem and then they started shouting and screaming, they led me Into a room full of boxes and started opening them.
"See what I've got to fucking deal with!" They shouted.
In the room was over 150 boxes all packed with hard drives and on these drives were all their content. The crazy fucks were having to go through each one to find programs.
I told the guy you need to get a server and store everything on it, and he just said what's a server ?.
I quit the same day

I now work in a bar, it's better but I work 50 hour weeks and can bearly afford to rent a studio apartment.

>>13102827
lol i just interviewed for a job like that
i have 3 years sales experience at a fortune 50 company
they brought me in a gave me a high pressure interview, the owner and the manager both said that they liked me, but I pressed them on whether or not I'd be scamming old people and using high pressure tactics while going door to door, ended up walking out of the interview
they said their top guys earn 200k per year and i believed them, but i don't think it'd be worth it earning money pressuring people into shit they don't need and fucking them over with shit service

This feel so hard my friend.

Journalism was fun while it lasted, but that industry is dead to me now.. although, I might just go write for a small town paper in bumfuck nowhere. That is still good stuff.

But my last job, which I just got canned from (let go without cause..), was killing me. I should have quit but I just kept showing up while doing literally nothing in my office all day. It was a good gig compensation wise but killing me otherwise

Now I'm figuring out what the fuck to do but I miss those jobs you can just walk away from...

Pretty lost boys.

>>13101446
Barnes & Noble, hands down. Not so much because the job was hard as much as the job was a mess.

There was only like four employees on the floor at once tops, and if you needed help with anything you were fucked. A lot of times management needed to step in to handle shit at the sales floor, except you needed management any time something went wrong (a customer needed to return something or there was some fuckup with their order). So there were several times that I'd be sitting there with a fuckhuge line I couldn't process because the management was missing and I couldn't continue finishing transactions.

They also pressured us into selling the store memberships, which were a scam for 90% of the people I sold them to (some people would buy colossal amounts of books because I guess they never heard of Half Price Books for looking for textbooks, if their total purchase cost over $250 then they'd be in the rare position where a membership would actually save them money). They used the proportion of memberships sold vs. number of processed purchases to measure performance, so if you worked mainly at the registers and sold 10 memberships after processing 200 people, you looked worse than some lower-tier manager that processed 4 people and sold 1 membership.

I ended up quitting a few months later because they started cutting my hours and went to work at a hotel doing laundry. Handling pee pee poo poo dirty sheets full of cum and piss every day was unironically better than working at an understaffed bookstore.

Applebee's server
Should be self explanatory

currys pc world
expected to sell some much shit on top of just laptops/tvs/tablets etc with 0 commission on what you sell, just MINIMUM WAGE.
targets were out of every 10 laptops, 3/10 needed office, 4/10 needed store insurance,5/10 needed anti virus, 3/10 needed to buy the stores cloud storage, 2/10 had to get PC set up here
the pc set up is charged at €25 for literally just turning the laptop on and skipping through the windows 10 cortana set up and spamming enter and then scratching a code for office/mcafee and downloading it, anti virus is marketed at €99 when really you can drop the price to €30, office is marketed at €80 but you can drop to €50.
For TVs you had to convince customers that they need a 4k HDMI cable advertised for €99 but you can drop it to €32 with a shitty wall mount. Insurance was 3/10 TVs
then you were expected to sell 3/10 tablet insurance and you also had to hit the same targets for tablets with fucking ANTI VIRUS and cloud. yes you were expected to sell anti virus with a fucking ipad. What ends up happening is most sales people get afraid to sell shit to customers cause if you fuck up the sale and get a ''blank'' then if goes on your name and then you have managers down your neck on why the customers didn't want to buy x etc. A lot of corruption too in the company. Also they'd put out fake prices and encouraged you to scam. For example say on the website there's 10% of a €1000 laptop. The 10% isn't advertised in stores, so you dont say it to the customer and use that 10% off to add in €100 worth of adds ons rather than giving the customer the 10% advertised discount , load more shit lol also you were on top of those targets which you got nothing for you were also expected to ask the customer to switch their broadband to sky/virgin and also change electricity provider to SSE airtricity and to check if they need an upgrade on their bill pay mobile phone.........

>>13103913
also there was a more ''advanced'' pc set up you had to sell for €45 where they basically get a USB 2.0 and make a recovery stick of windows 10 and thats it lmao and to get the + an instore tutorial on how to use your laptop was €70

Doing construction for a 50 year old Chad who just made fun of me all day.

Least compensated job was a summer job at a water park in high school & college, but that had some positive parts since there was a good social element & it was a good way to get invited to parties from people outside your normal circle if you weren't a complete autist. I was in one of the better departments to work in, but even that could be really shitty depending on what your assignment of the day was.

Worst job was a Corporate Finance role where my boss was the only other person in our part of the department & her management style consisted of gaslighting her direct reports. Working there had a massive negative effect on my mental health - I had constant nightmares, developed a nervous tick where I would involuntarily check my surroundings when talking about work in a public setting, and would constantly think about smashing my car into the median of the highway during my commute.

>>13101481
But everyone said trade jobs were the best to make the most money in.


I worked as a bartender. The job was fun on most nights, but there were some nights were the customers would piss me the fuck off. I would make like $4.75 per hour, but make anywhere from $200-400 in tips each night, so I guess it was fine.

>>13104114
I worked in a bar where the customers were rich as fuck, but acted like broke fucks. If I didn't hook them up, they would talk shit right in front of my face. I also had customers that would order lots of food. They would eat like 80% then tell me that they didn't like it, so they would want it taken off the bill. My manager was a nice man, but he was also spineless, so he did everything the customers told him to do.


I fucking hate this place. The only good thing about this place is that I get free food and I've learned how to socialize with people better. I really want to leave this place. I've been trying to find something else to do in life, but I've been stuck.

Working at panago pizza where I was paid 8$/hr and everything was timed and rushed. So when an order came in we had 10 seconds to do dough shit then 30 seconds for some other shit then 3 minutes in the oven blah blah out the door in 6.3minutes and they had tests where they timed their employees for each thing .. After two hours I said I was going to go get a snack and never came back and let them keep the 16$ they owed me fucking hell that was horrible

Apprentice for a bipolar electrician. Nothing wrong with the job itself I guess, being stuck with that guy was surreal though and not in a fun way. Many days I thought of just making noose out of some cable and hang myself from the nearest roof.

I picked turnips in the rain in the UK. I did it for a week and at the end they told us to fuck off. No pay.

I worked in a parking lot at a supermarket taking care of carts. I had to push all of the carts back to the store for customers to use. That store was on top of a hill.

ive never really had a shit job as of yet, just ordinary ones. did work for the dole for 6 months (government makes you work for getting unemployment benefits). ended up working at the primary school i attended years ago (was 25 at the time lmao) and it honestly wasnt that bad. just groundskeeping and gardening. all of the teachers appreciated what i did and it was kinda therapeutic.

currently work in the coal industry, and i guess its the worst job ive had so far? i dunno, i mean its the longest ive held down a job but i suppose its been long enough to know how painful everyone there can be, especially management

>>13101481
can confirm. what a fucking horrible cunt of a job.

Inventory unloader at Walmart. Basically spent 2-6 hrs of each shift lifting shit off a roller and sorting it onto pallets. Lawn mowers, BBQ grills, furniture, partially damaged cases of bleach, smashed glass. Idiot managers and coworkers who are so retarded they jeer each other and talk shit about who works the hardest constantly.

Did this for about 6 yrs before I got a new job and walked out in the middle of my shift one day. Didn't tell anyone. Just punched out and left.

THIS I hated HATED this job.
I can't understand this business
I have to pick up all the plates on a table with my noodle arms, all the knives and forks have to stack on the plates in one arm, god forbid you make multiple trips, everyone laughs at me for wanting to take two trips, laughs at my weakness
I thought I would scrape the plates off clean then I got yelled at for taking too long
They said replace the ice go to the machine, the machine is nearby the chefs they get mad for me being in their way waddling out with 50 pounds of ice
The waitresses all called me nigger (ninja) and asked me if I wanted to cry whats wrong with me why I am so weak, admittedly calling people ninja was a 2008 thing
Then they all got together and made this story about how I drunk old unused booze after the customers left and got me fired
Not sure what I did to piss everyone off so much I will admit I watched TV one time because I didn't see any tables to bus and that got people against me admittedly, I made a mistake and probably shouldn't have done that and just looked busy

This asshole company charged me 100 dollars for a training course mixed with CEO speech, I made no joke like 114 dollars, they didn't tell me they were charging me for the training, I had to be embarrassed to go there to get my check and the boss met me with like two burly dudes to protect her and she pretty much smiled at me and handed me and said please leave

What a fucked up job.

None of you know what an actual sweatshop is until you work at the salvation army. You're put at an ancient wooden bench with either ex or current convicts and told to sift through peoples garbage for 8-10 hours. No windows. No sign of sunlight. Some people donated rugs or blankets with fresh cat piss, Some fucker thought it'd be funny to donate a bag of shit one time, Cockroaches all over the place. People called off all the time or just straight quit so overtime was required more often then not. Really I can go on and on about the ridiculous things people donated but i look back fondly on it in a weird way.

>>13107073

Unironically worked in a wage cage. Summer job, drove a tractor around a driving range picking up golf balls. It had a cage around it, which was good because everyone was aiming at me.

>>13107087
Came in too late for that. I got to kill opfor during BS rotations to NTC, JRTC, Poland, or Korea since I was in an armored unit and my whole brigade's senior officer corps were convinced that the Next Big War would be a mass tank battle between the Soviet Union, sorry, Russia, and NATO on the plains of Europe.

it's the reward for venezuelan soldiers

I worked as a fundraiser collector (heckler really) for a charity organization during the heat wave in europe last summer. We were supposed to "give" out bottles of water to passersby as an incentive for them to donate, but we didn't have enough bottles to go around, so we were told only gave it to them once they donated. My entire day consisted of being yelled at and getting angry looks once I told the person that I handed the bottle of water to that they had to donate at least 20$ PER MONTH to get the shitty bottle of water. The water wasn't even cold because our entire batch of water bottles stood out in the sunlight all day. Shit pay too.

>>13101446
Worked for a big soulless corporation in the dow 25. Was just a middleman accountant in a team of 35 in one of several hundred offices they owned. Bonuses were tied on how many accounts you cleared that month. It was the definition of corporate wageslavery. Only lasted 2 months

Traffic control at a ski resort during summer. The place would host these long events, road races, and mountain bike races, a giant antiques sale once. My job was to stand on the road near the parking lot and give people directions. For 12 hours. In the blazing sun. And god help you if you needed a break to use the bathroom or something. Pay was a dollar over minimum wage.

Second was maybe fast food. Especially the grill at Wendys. For some reason the vapors coming off the grill made me vomit bright green bile.

thanks for the job, dad.

Applied for "Bakers Assistant" at a place called Nothing Bundt Cakes, and they pretty much said all I would be doing is frosting cakes and packaging them, but my first shift the manager informed me than I would really just be washing dishes and cake pans all day, and they needed to get people in the door. My work station was a dirty sink in the very back corner of the kitchen, and it was $8/hour pay. I tried it for like 3 hours and then I walked out.

>>13107902

>>13108345
Sonic boomed. Really though I'm sorry to hear that, no pun intended seriously. I didn't know such a condition could come on after just a few shifts. I'd think it would take a year or two or something.

>>13108522
honestly probably, he's a fun guy but everyone makes fun of him for being literally one of the dumbest people on earth. He's a complete retard, doesn't know shit, probably has difficulty spelling words properly.

But he is a great salesman and can sell a vaccum well. He's not doing that anymore, he made enough money, but for whatever reason he was damn good at it

Almost all of my jobs have been shitty. Ironically though, the lowest paying job I've had in the past 10 years was probably the best. I was a tour guide at a museum making $9/hr. Pay was awful, but being able to leisurely walk through the museum, educate people on little known facts etc was great.

Most of my jobs have been call centers of one kind of another. I worked in a call center for a charity, in house. The work sucked but I felt good bcuz charity. Mostly just taking new credit card info over the phone and some data entry. 60-70 calls a day but they were easy. Still sucked

Then I did cold calling for a tech company. Sucked but pay was okay.

But then I worked in Technical Support for a company that provides support for rural ISPs

i imagine you have godlike selling power if you're dense enough to actually believe your own pitch

I'm only at my second job--my first was working the night shift at the grocery store--and I already know its all downhill from here. Yes, I will be able to afford my own apartment and take care of my car, and suchlike, but I will never again know the sublime comfiness of listening to Herotodus on audiobook or dark ambient gregorian chant while stocking shelves under the dreary glow of the supermarket--having a coffee at 2am on the weekends at a 24 hour joint, writing down my thoughts in a notebook, taking walks through the hills at night, drinking the moon, the stars and the ambrosial air. Those nights I was transported--I saw a strange, new world. Things hidden were revealed to me. The queen of the night unveiled herself to me and I found myself in a dream. I long for nothing but to return to her embrace, but I fear that one cannot enter through the same door twice.

>>13107902
My tinnitus is fucked. I hear 4 - 5 sounds spread across both ears with different pitches and tones. No hearing loss either. Yet I don't know how I'm even still going, but Britbong doctors are useless and just told me "I'd be fine" without checking properly.

¿Why don't you boomers of the USA, Europe, Canada etc.?
Don't earn like 50k or even less and come here or any other extremely poor zone on South America and live your entire life here? even with 10 mbps internet?..
Look, if you're really about kill yourself, you don't need more than a peaceful place and a computer.
I live WAY more happier here, being able to scam and gain money from the internet, and also spending WAY MUCH less, than in the most free place in the world like Singapore, where I have to pay like $1000 for rent.

Think about that, if I was you, I'll earn just to achieve the "dream".
And in-deed I'm living the dream without having to earn nothing... you can achieve that SO MUCH easy since your income is way more higher than the avg. poor world.

As fun as it sounds, it just seems complicated. Plus as a foreign national many places in Latin America you can't truly own property. And I'm sure firearms are a no no as well

Consulting. Don't do it. I don't understand the meme about wanting to be an excel monkey at the big four. It's fucking terribly boring. Imagine going to school and majoring in finance/business and thinking that's the peak.

One week at a call center

Always someone watching and grading you, pressure you to make 15-20 calls per hour, sell shit to people who are not able to afford it, no air condition, uncomfortable and old equipment, all for the nice price of 4.60€ an hour before taxes.

It was 2006 in Germany and my first job. Today, I have a degree in finance & controlling and make about five times that amount after tax... but man, doing shitty jobs changes your perspective on life...

Unloading freight trucks at a warehouse. Those things are fucking huge once you're inside them, they hold so much fucking stuff. And they're boiling hot or freezing inside, no inbetween.

My first pest control job. I had just left my job working for a jewy computer repair place for 2 years. I lasted their for a month and a half. It had an absolute clusterfuck of a schedule from 6:30am to anywhere as late as 7:00pm (even though the manager said 5 at the latest). You had no idea where you could be going for the day until 3-4:00am in the morning and would often run behind due to poor routing. Saturdays were a thing as well. All for a fucking $11/hr.

I honestly have no idea how they are still in business with the turnover rate they STILL have. Ended up working for another pest control place that was actually pretty chill but left last October to force myself to find a job that had a higher salary cap. Worked several other jobs and have been unemployed for the past month and a half trying to figure shit out. Have 2 interviews tomorrow and am genuinely looking forward to working something ATM as long as it doesn't suck balls

>>13109516
The reality is, you have to know somebody or be extraordinarily lucky. Most people get their first good jobs out of college because of family connections or their fraternity connections. This is the horrific reality hidden from youths.

Every job I've ever had has been the worst job I've ever had.

>>13101446
just started my job as a civil engineer. The most simple way I can describe it is its incredibly boring yet can be very stressful. I fucking hate it and I don't know what else to do. The only good thing about it is that it pays decently and has a good future (promotions etc). But only god knows if I can get to that stage when I hate it so much

>>13110153
what do you hate about it?

>>13109571
>>13109516

Not true. If you graduated in a good field with good grades its very possible, especially if you conduct yourself well in an interview. However mech engineering sounds pretty niche so you may have cucked yourself in that regard.

>>13110166

I said it simply. The content is incredibly boring. I don't know how anyone can realistically be passionate about what they are working on in that field. You don't get to interact much with anyone at all and I am mostly working with older people who aren't like me in any way.

And the worst thing about it being boring is having to use my brain to try and understand concepts and actually do the work, cause that shit aint easy.

>>13102033
it is you because they tax you assuming you make that much per week x 52 weeks. then you get it back later.

>>13110207
maybe it's not the field for you. i like puzzles. sounds like something i'd enjoy. i'm also the same jackass who owns 2 business and works 80 hours a week. not dealing with people sounds like a plus to me. i deal with retail all day. it's no fun.

>>13110207
Nice ID. >TYBG Thank You Based God indeed.

>>13110229

>I like puzzles

I do too, and that's what university felt like when we were studying for exams. At the office the puzzle is always vague, lacks information which shouldn't be lacking etc. Once you solve whatever it is and it becomes a matter of input it becomes a mindless activity (which i do prefer) and then you have to write about it. I tend to get lost in my thoughts thinking of all kinds of shit.

I used to work as a dealer at a casino, a big + to that job for me was being able to interact with customers and the hours flew by. 99% of them were very friendly.

I get what you mean by preferring to be alone though. I am naturally an introvert so I guess I enjoyed the challenge of socializing with others and refining those skills, I suppose it felt like I was actually building character as opposed to having the soul sucked out of me.

>>13110229
>>13110288

Actually I feel more than capable to solve whatever it is at work. I've done harder shit in video games (as lame as that sounds). The problem is having 0 interest in it at this point. My perspective on my degree also changed as I graduated and got older.

jobs are a means to an end. your job doesn't have to define you. just save up a fuckload of money and in 5 years decide what else you'd rather do. wealth gives you options.

my goal in the next 5 years is to grow the business and finances in such a way that i'll have 5 hour work day. it's getting there slowly. it's very different when you are your own boss can just lie down when you feel like it.

>>13110377
But also must be really rewarding to see that business grow.

I understand what you mean. In a way it does tend to define me just because I really have no hobbies outside of gaming as sad as that is. Nothing else really excites me enough.

I have a weird view on it, I tend to want to invest a lot of time into my hobbies and try to perfect whatever it is I'm doing, which just isn't possible when you are working a full time job so I'm super demotivated to try anything. Obviously everyone wishes their job was their hobby and it's not possible for everyone. I just wish my mind didn't work in such a way, and life is hard because of it.
