Mine was a grocery store for a year because I had low self esteem about my career and, after the first few failed interviews, I gave up and stocked dairy for a year. It was miserable. Most dont recover and become complacent with their shitty life.

I wouldn't say it "doesn't matter", in that going into a retail job because you couldn't get one relevant to your degree will actively make it harder to eventually land a good job. But, if you can get your foot into the door for a place you can grow and learn from, then it doesn't matter as much even if it's in a different industry than your end goal.

I dont think anyone really thinks negatively of a 20-something year old with a degree and some random retail job as his only real working experience. This is kind of expected/normal. I also think it looks better than someone with no experience who will only accept a perfect job. It's when you're in your mid to late 30s with only retail experience that makes recruiters raise their eyebrows

Taking a low paying job at any point in your career statistically hurts your odds of getting a higher paying job. Which is to say that some people get shuffled right on track to the top and others get to labor until they "work their way up". According to what I've read the second group catches up after a decade in terms of salary but the wealth gap created by that decade is nigh insurmountable. That said it's become so increasingly obvious that the game is rigged that people are refusing more and more to play. Time will tell what happens next.

this. i went to college to party and fuck sluts (i did). Never thought about my future, sleepwalked through a polisci degree, graduated, and my first job, at 24 years old, was overnight stocking at petsmart. I was too socially anxious and fearful of judgement and looking stupid to compete with all the networking, bright-eyed, bushy tailed faggots in my peer group at college. I failed to make the transition, and started hiding from the world 4 years ago. I never recovered, never tried to turn shit around, and with no friends around to push me, give me shit, humiliate me, i just choose to keep doing "nothing" and have stagnated since. I got hired for a 25/hr job before covid hit but they DUMPED me on my ass before i even started because of covid. now i can get interviews for ~20/hr sales rep type of shit for grocery stores and meat manufacturers, but i still feel like a complete failure and a loser. I have zero confidence, I feel like im being judged, and everyone my age (29) can smell the "absolute fucking loser" all over me. The idea of making even 60k a year is a fantasy for me.

My resume is completely fabricated to. I've had more jobs than i can remember, and i've never worked anywhere for more than a year. In fact, the longest ive ever held a job is one year. most of the 15+ jobs ive had i quit within a few months. I wish my dad was an asshole

I can trick the proles im around all day because they hate their lives, but when it comes to turbo normies, one day of having a monotone voice, or showing a little less enthusiasm, and youre OUT on your ASS

Dude, no. I'm a socially retarded cooming channer since 2008 with panic disorder and a useless liberal arts degree. And I can still step into normie world and do what has to be done. It's actually really rewarding in a sense.

The problem with channers is they don't respect the concept of process. You're not gonna walk in and be slick Willy on day one. But you start, by applying for jobs, being more social, cutting out negative self talk.

But bc you're a channer, there's a 99% chance you'll say "na bro it won't work" and huddle back into your chair until you find the rope at 45. Not trying to hate, but the level of self pity and learned helplessness in this place is depressing

Bruh my life is opposite f urs. I couldnt do anything social. Fucked 0 sluts in uni. Sad part is that i had couple of females take initiative and tried to be social with me, my retardness kept me from getting laid or having relationships. I was also addicted to porn. Uni took 9 years to finish. I graduated into fucking covid, with a gpa of 2.85 and no internships. I signed myself to a 2 year almost scam dev training and got some exp. Thankfully they couldn't find clients and released me from there contracts. I used that experience on my resume and applied to 90 places, got a job wfh last month.

Brother. Shut the fuck up. We make the best choices for our best interests at any given moment. Better you avoided those bright eyed normie fags than became them. In our minds we all failed to make the transition, everyone, even the most 'capable' people you see, that way we see ourselves doesn't ever change until we change it. Thank fucking god you're not at some shit job. You aren't working at those shitty stores because they're shitty options available to you.
Others don't 'judge you' of their own free will really. People are fucking stupid and you're seeing a simple reaction to whatever you're projecting off and carrying around.If you act differently tomorrow their reaction changes. Their reaction doesn't fucking matter.
Thank fucking god again you didn't stay anywhere for more than a year, that's what kills souls.

You haven't done shit in a few years, you've become more fragile and sensitive from not being exposed to bullshit. Good. When you are exposed you'll be so fragile it'll crack you into a billion pieces and tear you apart and free you from yourself. That's the best scenario you could ask for, you're still free to be anyone, not stuck as a manager at a fucking meat factory.

Your only problem is you're judging you. You are being judged. It's you. 60K a year, would that make you matter? Would that be enough? Why? It doesn't fucking matter.

The thing is our actions carry us and our negative thoughts catch up later. For a while your best option is to start pretending to be confident. Start doing things you think a confident person would do.
