Work in an office to afford to do fun things outside

>>30010533
I'd rather work a blue collar job. I can be proud of a building or subway system I help build rather than coding for a social media platform that effects depression in people.

>>30010533
I’m a metal fabricator

>>30010533
I work as a carpenter and woodworker. We build and install cabinets, shelving, drawers, etc.
It’s hard labor but I enjoy creating something from scratch, and I feel accomplished at the end of the day cuz I know I worked my ass off.
I’d probably still rather be a trust fund billionaire, but I take solace knowing I could beat the fuck out of most people if I needed to. Idk, I’m a retarded autistic nigger like the rest of us

>>30010533
I'm presently in the field doing research on the migration patterns of North American squirrels.

>>30010533
I net 5k / mo. from my garage.
I sell on Amazon.
I "work" 20-30 hrs. / week.

>>30011378
Are you making stuff to sell or acting as a distributor/ supplier?

>>30010705
cool how is that? meaning you do welding basically?

>>30010749
sounds based, how's the pay?

>>30010695
Cope harder

>>30010533
I didn't know it at the time, but getting red pilled and depressed was one of the greatest decisions of my life because it got me kicked out of college. Instead of being ~$80k in student loan debt while working at a rat race office job, I'm on my way to making $100k+ as an electrical lineman. Travel the country and hopefully my crypto investments will allow me to have plan B residency in Europe.

>>30010533
>>30010695
Your subway system is for faggots and niggers.
I can relate. My entire job is supporting the suburban sprawl of a NE city. It's all brown people. Chinese, Afghans, Spics, whatever. My entire job is building the infrastructure for these "people" to take over our country. It's demoralizing as fuck.

>>30011543
I buy a product in bulk from a supplier, repackage in my garage, and sell on Amazon. I launched my own brand in early 2018.

>>30011856
Yeah. It’s actually a pretty cool job. It’s like building and welding put together. Obsessing over 1/16 inch helps keep my obsessive nature in check

I'm a NEET making 2k a month on gibs

Honestly I hate it. I just want to be useful.

I had a great job selling airsoft guns but I only made 800$ a month off that, not enough to survive. So now I'm making double of that being unhappy.

>>30012260
>He thinks NE is bad
Anon never go to California or Texas, the infrastructure is worse and both are like 70% hispanic now.

Biotech/chemistry startup guy here. I'm literally considering relocating to a third world country because of regulatory hurdles.

>>30010533
im a geologist, i make barely above minimum wage but i spend all day in the wilderness with my dog hammering posts into the ground and cracking open rocks to study. i have a 10k link stack to makeup for my shit pay so im comfy

>>30012871
Nice. I actually majored in geology, but it’s just not my kind of work. Hated everyone I went to school with

>>30012953
I did a geology undergrad, but couldn't stand the thought of barely making money. I'm working on a geophysical sensor now and kicking around going back for my masters.

I like a lot of geologists but the better the school is the more of those "I fucking love science" people you run into. So many geo jobs are basically just being a code monkey so I went into a totally different industry.

I’m a forklift mechanic

>>30010533
lmao dude, live to work...not work to live, make your money the easiest way you can that takes the least toll on your body and then move onto trades when you're automated you stupid fuck

>>30013264
Based
>>30012953
Yeah I went to a top ten geology school and all my professors were massive faggots except one that was pretty bad ass, he taught a very interesting mineral identification class

>>30013219
Dammit my second sentence was for you>>30013398

I build powerline for a contractor. Hard as fuck work and long hours, but pays pretty decent. The worst part is being and apprentice for some boomer faggot that thinks since he was treated like shit when he came up everyone else should be too.

Commercial electrician. High end commercial and industrial service work + general electrical construction. An interesting job with union retirement, plus I have picked up many useful skills over the years.electrician is the caddilac of trades unless you are a retard that can't troubleshoot plc's or bend 4" grc in a ditch.

>>30011378
hi flouranon

>>30013877
Nice to see a fellow brother on biz. Which local?

>>30013667
I'm also an apprentice. Inside wireman, though. It sucks to hear that you've had some dick journeymen. I just finished my 5th yesr of apprenticeship school, but I need several more hours before I can turn out. Just remember that by the time you turn out you know who you like to work for and who you don't like to work for, so be the JW you like to work for.

>>30010705
you get paid to lie about metal?

>>30010533
used to be IT for 10 years, hated it. went into gunsmithing but no money to be made into it unless i became a factory worker or had a custom serious of guns for 3gunners/skeet shooters... worked at a woodworking shop making stairs and cutting boards flirting with 20 year old spanish chicks who were hired on the cheap lol... have a pension and just being a bum thinking about going into welding because sitting in front of a computer for 40-80 hours a week is not worth 50-115k a year to me...

>>30010533
I work at a tv station doing live news broadcasts. But it is a lot of sitting in front of screens :/

>>30014386
he doesnt LIE, he makes fantastical stories about the metals amazing adventures of being a lowly square tube becoming an epic ladder!

>>30014386
Lol

>>30013935
hi fren. thanks for remember me. :)

>>30010695
All you would get from that is all sorts of cancer and a half-assed pension that won't cover your medical bills

>>30011856
Pay isn’t bad I just started a few weeks ago with zero experience and make $17/hr. I just wish I didn’t graduate college, what a waste of time and money for a worthless degree I don’t use

I'm looking to borrow off parents to start on investment properties, probably 1 place initially. How is a good way to go about this? I might even look into a trade so I can cut out a middleman in flipping houses, is this even viable?

>>30014447
YOU ARE FAKE NEWS!!

>>30010533
Why do i need to make money when grandpa Joe is going to keep giving us all money for free? Lol

Lot's of fellow electricians ITT, how much do you guys bring in and what's your level of involvement? I'm a helper bringing in around 24k a year which I know isn't a lot but it's a mom and pop electrical business, we do commercial but it's more repair work and lightbulb changes than buildouts. Also I haven't looked into it but is it possible for a helper to get a license without going to school? Probably depends on the state...

>>30014870
Yeah honestly dude I like the job but hate the content. There is legitimately a ton of fake bullshit we have to run and most people that work in news are literal leftist faggots. But it's still a fun job.

I sat in front of a computer all middle school and high school. I don't program for pay anymore, but is sitting in front of a computer so bad? I love it in front of my computer

I work in an office right now and hate it. Out of the military I was a state prison guard for a few years. Made decent money. Going to go back to doing that because I've been slaving away in an office for 3 years now and wanna kms. Hoping to hear back from returning to CDCR here shortly.

Im a machinist I just run and program CNC mills/lathes and use CAD software. Pretty fun im 21 making 60k/yr and in training.

>>30012283

elevator construction

>>30010533
I've been traveling for my job non-stop this entire shutdown. Work on fans and air handlers for the big boys.

Study for an electrical license (it's fucking open book, open notes, multiple choice) and get a nice job working in industrial construction. Hell, get some kind of controls certification and do that I see those guys all the time and it's pretty fun work trouble-shooting all that shit. A lot more paperwork than I have though.

>>30010749
> cabinets, shelving, drawers
> hard labor
LMAO

>>30010982
Anything good?

Don’t you guys make dogshit money most of the time? No disrespect. It takes huge balls and is hard fucking work, but I would not do it for the money I’ve heard about

>>30016379
>>30016626
Man fuck you niggers moving 100 pound slabs of wood is hard work I don’t care what you say.
Suck my smoothly sanded wooden cock

>>30015628
Anon I might go to prison soon if you get hired plz lemme know which prison and I’ll try to go to that one and you can be my secret fren

>>30015142
Honestly anon it’s kinda cool knowing we have a guy on the inside who could go rogue if need be

>>30010533
I work for the government. I provide a much needed service. My partner is in medicine. If one thing is apparent, those of us still going to work are getting shat on. The rest of society is not only collecting gibs, but is also more needy now than ever. Retirement is up, doctors are quiting. In both our industries no one new is coming up in the ranks. We are literally at a crisis point in society because “essential workers” are getting fucking tired.

Enjoy your sweet desk job.

>>30010695
No you wouldn't, you're just depressed. Office life is 100x better than any blue collar job and you will get your shit kicked if you ever tell a blue collar worker you would rather have their job.

If you want it so bad, go get one. Literally nothing stopping you. Go do highway construction faggot they are always hiring. You won't because you know your job is better. This shit ain't office space

>>30017445
When the shit starts just know that not everyone is a pozzed reporter

Trades are awful and I do low voltage which is actually pretty easy in comparison to concrete or whatever. Here’s what trade life looks like: you get up before the sun tired as hell with your eyes burning, guzzle coffee from a thermos and smoke or dip. Then everyone blasts nasty diarrhea shits in the chemical toilets and gets to work. No women, no slacking off, no fucking up unless you want to get berated. Then break for another cig, eat some terrible fast food and back at the grind which is slowly turning into chronic back pain and pill addiction. Wetbacks heating up their beaner slop in a dented microwave, retarded convicts grinding concrete floors all day. Everyone is fat and most of them are dying young - because of their job. Everything is hurry hurry because they get a big bonus for finishing and quickly and cheaply as possible and you’re on the hook if your shit takes a minute longer than their extremely optimistic expectations. Same shit, different building. “Where you guys going next? That new building in SF, yeah that’s a good job.” Safety training again. Gotta get a cert for some shit. Convict called me a faggot today and i couldn’t beat his ass because the safety inspector was there. Misery every day, dust in the air, hearing damage. Made 80k this year, enough to gamble on stocks but not enough to ever really make it. Guess I’ll go kill myself now. Who would even notice?

>>30010533
am in education.
currently collecting bidenbux
Don't want to go back because literally ALL of my peers are white liberals who treat minorities like puppies. Talk to them with baby talk and shit. Leftism is a mental illness. I am worried because I know they will turn in my name to the thought police. I was in marine infantry and used GI bill for education. I actually love teaching and I got into it because all of my teachers failed me. As you are aware, schooling is failing and its because teachers suck ass. I wish I could help students but I cannot be honest with them, and if I cannot be honest I would rather not teach.
Currently trading for income, its been working out nicely and Idk if i'll ever go back to a school in todays climate. They are literally insane.

>>30012261
How often do you go to the post office? Every day?

I’m the opposite. I wage and just want to make money from my computer, at home with my wife and son. I have crypto but I want to try swing/day trading.

Also balls deep in university with is almost 100% online now too

>>30014386
Kek

>>30018098
twice a week usually, and I only go to the post office for something to do to get me out of my house. I'll usually grab a sub or something to eat while I'm out.

>>30017882
>blasts nasty diarrhea shits in chemical toilets
lold but fucking bleak anon. what's your exit strategy?

>>30012283
>>30011856
>>30016067
This is the level I want to be at.

i fucking wish i could get a comfy WFH job where i could do like 2 hours of actual work at the most and play vidya the rest of the time

instead i'm a retail wagie, want to swap places with me, fren?

I work at a company that supports the semiconductor fabrication industry. I work in a robotics lab as a test engineer and get to play with some pretty cool robots. I also get to work in the machine shop pretty often which i really enjoy. Sometimes the two come together...
I've continued to work in the office throughout this whole shitstorm and honestly it's never been better. There's only a handful of others that come in everyday and we all get to kick back pretty often, plus they give us free lunch.

>>30020560
that sounds awesome anon. what are the robots used for? what's the path to being you? wish I had stuck with MechE, and wound up doing something like this. I'm in IT hell and want to escape.

>>30010982
so..what are the squirrels up to?

Physical labor is still worse and desu humiliating.

>>30020281
it doesn't get better anon - office politics is it's own corner of hell. IT is gay unless you're a dev or an engineer, and make-work office shit is plentiful. most wfh jobs that you would be able to secure with wagie experience are mega-aids customer-facing gigs that will make you want to eat a gun faster than you can say 'hello sir my name is anon, how can I service you?'

>>30018588
jelly brah, wanting to get myself a transit connect and start there I guess, worst case I will live out of that :(

>>30021089
yeah that's what i figured, my assumption is the cushy WFH gigs require having a specific skillset plus retarded boomer bosses who take your word for how long a certain task is going to take (you can actually get it done in 1/5 the time but now you can drag it out and the dumbass boomer boss will be none the wiser)

i assume these are like programmer jobs or whatever but i tried learning coding and it was just completely over my head

still, retail fucking sucks, boring work + shit pay; there's gotta be something else i can do that would be more tolerable

>>30010982
they don't migrate nigger.

>>30020886
Our robots handle the wafers and pass them along through different process modules. All of this is done in a vacuum chamber the size of a small car.
I took a strange path. Started with going to school for mechE, didn't find a job for like two years after graduating so I worked in a auto shop fixing cars. Eventually got an interview for some startup that wanted to make industrial hybrid generators, got the job, but the company never got off the ground. The recruiter that contacted felt bad about it so he got me an interview at the place I work at now, as an assembler on the manufacturing floor. Eventually I proved myself enough to get a job as a engineer tech and kinda morphed it into what I do now which is part engineer, part lab manager, part machinist. Pretty chill job.

>>30012261
Supplements?

>>30010533
currently netting $1,000 to $1,200 a week doing scaffolding (50-60 hrs a week).

Working over a 150ft drop makes you feel alive, but it's dangerous and you're out in the sweltering heat or freezing cold all day.
you'll pick up on a lot of spanish.

>>30010533
I'm a bartender at a semi upscale bar. It pays pretty good, i get to practice socializing, and I've gotten laid from it a few times. It's aight, at least until my real life starts.

Sup geology bros, I had a decent job right out of school in consulting ~50kyr and enjoyed the work. Had a school reach out an offer a masters program in Hydrology and computer modeling so thats where I'm at now. My LINK stack will be my future tho.

>>30021481
retail does blow and will continue to blow. I did it from my senior year of highschool until I was 21 and wished I hadn't. I recommend you look for manufacturing or manul labor gigs that pay 18/hr+. it'll suck, and you're still a slave, but you're a better paid slave. use your free time to study, day trade, plan your next move, etc. this method works especially well if you have someone to live with that will net you minimal expenses.

>>30021939
>vacuum chamber the size of a small car.
never ceases to amaze me the lengths that we go to produce essentially common objects. it puts into perspective how fragile society is. when do you hack the bots together to build a gundam?

>I took a strange path
most really interesting gigs start this way don't they? anything you'd want out of a prospective hire?

>>30018872
Not op but generally the exit strategy is maintenance. Used to be that on big jobs they'd find easy work for the busted down old timers. We used to take care of eachother. Nowadays, it's cut throat. Some "what have you done for me lately" type shit.
15 years in the field and I saw one retirement. Everyone else gets too old to do the job at the pace slaving demands.
Got me a retirement gig now. I shitpost and trade crypto all night while I wait for stuff to break. The pay isn't as good as working in the field, but the pay/work ratio has never been higher.
I haven't seen or heard from my boss in a year+ and they are all so shit scared of covid, I got my third quarantine vacation just today.
Life is good if you know how to work it.

>>30012699
>>30012260
Lmao so this is what once proud americans have degenerated to
The jew made having kids expensice so you'll lower ur birth rates
Eventually immigrants that have 9 children will replace all of you
They'll take over your techno.ogy, your land, your military, even your nukes

>>30017642
I like you, but when that time comes I can't tell the difference and I won't care.

>>30024242
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess we'll just see who's quicker

>>30017518
Same here. The level of entitlement of society is just infinite man. They keep asking and demanding all while not giving a single fuck about you. Im a doctor too, its always about the patient, patient this patient that, what about you, the human who provides all this care? Fuck ylu you're basically a slave

>>30014129
You know that if anyone cared they could just look up that serial number right? Like that's what those are for.

I'm an art handler. I pickup and deliver fancy art and antiques from galleries/auction and people's houses.

Get to use the body, eat road food, see cool fancy things and inside people's houses. Pay is meh but it's a good time.

>>30010533
i do bench science (biochemistry). only spend maybe 25% of my time in front of a computer. $91k per year so not bad not amazing

>>30024242
Kek I didn't mean it as a threat. I just mean you better tell people you were a janitor or something.
>>30024211

>>30024349
I have lost almost as much respect for doctors over this chink flu as I never had for journalists.

Lost of electricians and techs and folks here.. that's great. I'm a controls/automation engineer. Last drop was half office doing programming, and half on site doing commissioning and troubleshooting. I took a new job (went from 70k to 105k) and now I'm WFH 100% of the time and don't really program anymore..I do more consulting I guess. I definitely miss going into factories, and I don't know if I made the right choice by taking this job.. the additional money is a lot, sure, but I'm not really enjoying myself like I was at the last job

>>30024681
Ohh shit dude I tally misread that yeah I thought you meant like some sort of Quick and the Dead standoff or something. Yeah I'll be sure to say what side I'm on lmao

>>30024769
Same, fucking retards

>>30024839
...totally*

>>30024417
True. I'd tip my hat off to someone who found my info using just the receipt number on my union card.

I make about 60k a year doing cable mainline maintenance. Basically all you do is beat off in your truck half the day waiting for some stupid fuck to plow into a pole or pedestal and then go splice it back together. The other is just adjusting levels at amps and freezing your fucking ass off. In MN where I work it was -30 on Superbowl weekend. And on Superbowl weekend I was on call. Which means when all the power packs exploded on the amps outside or cable literally sucked out and dropped the signal out I was freezing my ass off in a bucket 30 feet in the air. Not worth. Don't fucking ever go into cable maintenance or for sure cable installation. I did that shit for 5 years. People are absolutely retarded and complain about internet speed when their computer won't even turn on. Legit, not even larping. Was one of my calls. A laptop that couldn't even get past the welcome screen of windows. Her expectant look on her face made me want to off myself.

>>30010533
Industrial Mechanic. I fix machines that make condoms. Would be great if greedy jew boss didn't push machine to its limit. Goddamn thing breaks every hour.

Hello, IBEW? I was on a basket weaving forum and saw a member's dues receipt. If I gave you the serial number could you tell me what their name is?

>>30024349
I fucked up my arm at work and the lady doctor who was checking me out just had her father get into a pretty serious car accident and she came into work that day. Broke down in front of me. Everyone who is actually a essential worker is getting rekt by corona. Last year I worked over 160 hours of overtime. That's 4 regular work weeks of OT. Have been on call so many times to keep peoples internet up because everyone is working from home. I'm so burnt out I took like 3 days off and the whole system went to shit while I was out. I now have over 180 hours of PTO that I need to use before year end. Aint going to get any better either.

No you wouldn't. It sucks dick. I tried it for a bit. Rough environment physically and mentally

>>30015628
Lol I just paroled from cdcr

I spent a considerable amount of time doing fire camp and firehouse firefighting. Anon, you should look into becoming staff at one of the cdcr firecamps or becoming a cdcr firefighter/co at one of the prisons, the fire staff make BANK at the camps going out on strike teams during fire season, and at cdcr institutions they only work like two to three days a week for 24hr shifts and it's EASY work they don't do shit the inmates do everything

>>30016138
Pulaski or mcleod

>>30022922
The semicon business is interesting because like you said there is so much that goes into it and it literally powers all of modern society, but 99% of people have no idea it exists or how any of it works. Its like the back-end of a website except the website is the whole world.
Im an individual contributer, but if I was in a position to hire someone who does what i do, I'd say candidates with strong hands-on technical skills have a huge advantage. People with automotive experience for example would do well or anyone with manufacturing experience. Most of the engineers here are clueless when it come to how the robot systems actually work, and that's what gives me some job security.

How the fuck would I trade all day if I didn't have a job that required me to sit in front of a computer all day? Enjoy your non existent trading life while you shovel shit all day for a living

im just getting 600/month off passive income and thats enough for me. after reading all this garbage i will either be making it the easy way or i will live in a tiny apartment with roommates until i die.

fuck working.

>>30010533
I sit in front of a laptop screen for 2-3 hours a day as a fulltime employee. Working from home means my acuity results in free time rather than extra work. I don’t think other software boys realize how good we have it.

If you’re stuck working in an office, I get it, but you should find a new employer. Corporate real estate is dead, everything new is remote.

>>30027673
really i just thought it was covid?

i wouldnt mind doing half and half or something as long as its not a fucking office i hate sitting home too much

Gee I sure do wish I wasn't sitting in my air conditioned room pretending to work while doing things I like to do then getting paid 6 figure salary for it. It sure would be nice to be a bottom feeder construction worker making pennies for back breaking labor. Yup.

shutup idiot.

>>30010533
i didn't like the ending to office space. at the end of the movie this faggot is still a wagecuck

>>30028597

might be better in florida or something with better weather

this. i spit on blue-collar wagies

there's a second, more realistic ending

Miserable compared to what? Destroying my body digging trenches for 5x less wage? I get weekends, holidays, 5 (soon 6) weeks of PTO, and can basically just skip 90% of the work day and no one will know or care.

>Hmmm today I think I'll wake up at 10am, then go to the gym, then go out with my friend to lunch, then work on my own project, then do whatever the fuck I want, then plan one of my many vacation weeks to paradise.

>Hmmm today I think I'll wake up at 7am, work towards giving myself a permanent back injury, then do it every day for the rest of my life so I can afford to eat ramen.

The Office Space ending is shit because in reality the romanticism of it would end in a week. At least pick some possibly enjoyable or higher paid blue collar job like a park ranger, electrician, or something like that. NO one wants to be a construction worker.

>>30028597
I worked both jobs. I make upper 5, not 6, but there is a certain satisfaction from manual labor. I wasn’t in construction (roofing) but the sun, labor, etc was shitty but also weirdly enjoyable. Hard to explain.

>>30010695
I was a farmer, then a tradesman, then a banker and economist. And now all I want to do is go back to that farm. Never was happier than I was on that farm. There's something different to it. Humans weren't meant to spend their lives in gypsum boxes.

>>30029200
yeah most people would hate this ending so I could see why they didn't include it. but let's be honest whether it's blue-collar or white-collar work almost all jobs suck ass. that's why most of us are trying to make it with crypto

>>30029459
yeah man theres something about nature. i dont know about hard labor like farming but something like a massive weed farm or just being able to work on a computer in a place where i can go outside whenever i want and have good weather

>>30029284
I don't know how to explain it either. It's just a different flavor of shit. It's shitty because it tires your body, but it's made to do that. It's not made to be in a chair for eight to twelves hours a day. The office life is shitty because it tires your mind. It's like a slow kind of torture, unending, I'm not sure, like being in a prison I guess.

What you wanna do is work a trade for a city or water/power department

>>30010533
I do things to rats for a living

>>30024467
How did you get involved in this anon?

>>30024769
This, I worked IT for doctors and a lot of them were fucking retards that had decent crystalline intelligence but were still mouth breathing Normies that just did as the ZOG tells them.

WFH is the only good thing about covid. Its turned software engineering into a top tier job. I basically automated my job over the last year and now I get paid over 100k to manage my shitcoin portfolio.

I get away from the comp screen by going on walks but lately I havent been looking forward to it. It's just walking for about 2 hours a day around my block a few times. Any suggestions for light exercise I could do outside? (has to be light, I have health problems I wont go into here).

>>30022081
>It's aight, at least until my real life starts.
Don't fall for that trap. You're real life is now.

>>30030546
is it WFH after this shit? what the fuck is the point of going to office and shit if people can just do their job in 20 minutes every day?

kinda crazy to think of all those asian fuckers that go to offices and work 14 hour days for "work culture" while theyre doing nothing.

I'm about to finish my BS in Operations management. I was looking into supply chain or logistics work, anyone have suggestions on where to look? Been applying to internships and the like

>>30015142
Are you doing motion graphics or production? I wanted to get a motion graphics job doing news broadcasts, but didn’t put much effort in to landing one of those jobs because I figured my coworkers would be insufferable faggots

>>30031140
I'm in production. Specifically a director (*a* director; not *the* director). We don't even have an in-house graphics guy anymore. It's all corporatized homogeneity so we get the same graphics packages. Thanks Sinclair.

>>30031282
>>30031140
Oh but to answer your question yeah a lot of them are insufferable faggots. If you're remotely conservative you get ostracized. I get away with it by being "the libertarian" since none of them really get what it is. So you can sidestep a lot of heat that way.

>>30010533
i wish

>>30010533
Im a bartender. Went to a coding bootcamp and started entry level software work. Figured out that the job paid well but youre all miserable for a reason.

So I went back to bartending. I work 3 days a week(~25 hours) and make $4k a month. I get to work out a lot and I meet more attractive, single women in a week than you meet in a year.

Oh and I drink on the job, dont have a manager as the bar is just 30+ veteran bartenders. I dump like $1k a month into crypto and pay minimal taxes because its mostly tips. And still get partial unemployment(including the $300 weekly lmao)

Fucking gay, I hate that’s where the industry is going. Commodification of the arts is a sign of the worst of times. Studying my 3D modeling though and currently working at a pretty decent ad agency with an awesome CD, so I’m lucky for now.
>>30031359
My ad agency is full on antifa faggots and the ceo can’t shut up about it. Pretty sure he just sits on Twitter all day reading cnn shit, he literally talks about how conservatives need to be treated violently and shit. Absolutely wild. I record all our inter office g chats so I can fuck him over one day if needed, but it’s comfy and I don’t have to work that hard, and I’m moving to a conservative state to live with my dad so I won’t have to pay rent and they’re supportive of it, so I’m keeping my mouth shut until I can find something better. Fucked up world we live in man, shits getting a little scary.

>>30031686
My CD is the only reason I’m there btw, he’s a go with the flow old school liberal who just wants to fit in, but is very apolitical. He knows I’m conservative and he’s still really good to me, but everyone else there is worthless and I hate them a lot. Precarious to say the least, but stable for now.

>>30010533
Was, sorta. Used screens for my job. Rona fucked my industry. Fuckkn weak trade union job in the south. Cucked by northern unions with thier scyscrapers and roads. Its ok though. Early poorfag investor in btc. Sold half and made 20k. Riding unemployment like the union whore i am. Feels good. Ranked up in COD. Pleasebkillme

Another geobro here. Made the mistake to go into a PhD and I'm in my final year, 29 years old and poor as fuck

>>30031788
>>30031686
Luckily most of the leftist faggots I work with are all old instead of being antifa types. My crew isn't malicious so much as they just don't know any better. Showbiz and the entertainment industry will probably always be like this.

I wish you the best of luck though. I hope you're a lot happier when you move to your dad

>>30031535
Private events? Weddings? Thats where the money is

>>30031920
Thanks bro, I think I will be, at the very least I’ll be able to save up for a house pretty quickly and put more money into crypto. Better than burning it all away in apartments in portland.
Hope you do well too, keep your head down and be the change you wanna see. I’d love to be able to work with normal producers/directors, I don’t even necessarily want everyone to be conservative, I just want the globohomo to stop. Maybe one day if we all keep at it.

>>30010533
Construction worker here, did that shit for 10 years got sitemanagment degree later and now made it with bitcoin so im just sitting in front of my screen. Sometimes i miss working outside.

>>30010533
>Anyone here make money by not sitting in front of a computer screen?
I have been a soldier both a private and an officer of my own free company, I have been a miner (gold, coal, tin, silver), I have been a farrier, a farmer, a brewer, a publican, a cook, a gemologist, a writer (novels, history and print press), I have been a swordmaker , a blacksmith, a watchmaker, a gun fitter, a horse trader, a slaver, a opium runner, a tea trader, a jam maker, a jewler, a bare knuckle fighter, a bodyguard, aircrew, construction (roofing, plumbing, electrical, cement work), a monk and a few things I've forgotten about. The worst job of all is anything involving fish.

>>30010533
i've done it. used to work in restaurants, road construction, etc. because i wanted "real work"
turns out it's cold all the time outside which makes you sick and ages your skin prematurely
also turns out you need to work near roads all day (in road construction) which means breathing in all sorts of dust and exhaust
and finally all blue-collar work is physically hard on your body

long story short: physical jobs make you old, sick, and in other ways destroy your body and mind.
oh, and you'll make like half of what you do now, tops.

>>30032244
thats true but so does being in an office. humans arent really meant to sit in an office for 8 hours a day and be still and wake up to an alarm clock

WFH could probably cure that you can get up whenever you want stretch go breathe in some fresh air get some sun open the window

>>30014819
Don't even need to learn a trade to do this. My dad and I just watched a bunch of youtube videos and did it ourselves. Granted it did take a bit longer for the first couple houses but eventually we got pretty quick. We didn't do any electrical work though, paid someone to do that.

>>30010533
I drive a big truck on a mine site for $48/h

Show rigger,tech.

I'm a nurse, so it's lots of sitting behind a screen and then coding a patient for 50 fucking minutes straight while they are squirting out blood as fast as you can put it in. Even faster if you are doing effective compressions. Then the family comes back and watches you break their loved ones ribs and pump them full of the very thing that is making them bleed out and insists you keep going and the Dr is like lol sure because alteplase costs $26k per bottle. It's a little more nuanced than that but really if you don't get someone back within a few minutes they are better off dead. And obviously when someone is bleeding you should not give the strongest anticlot drug in the world.
I don't like my job but the fuck else can I do to make $60/hr? I've seen enough soft penises so not interested in working with hard ones. Not gay either.
Before this I worked at an airport doing whatever. Making hoses for hydraulics, refilling oil tanks, driving a fork lift, changing tires, recycling, garbage, pressure washing. It was always either freezing cold or soaked in sweat. The only constant was coming home filthy and covered in oil. You can still smell it on your skin after a shower, I'd swear it was in the air. Even wearing gloves you constantly had to wash your hands with that gojo orange oil and sand soap. Before you could even clock in you had to go through security too. I sometimes envy the guys who just play with spreadsheets all day while wearing a suit. Comfortable clothes, no mess, just your numbers and papers and a fat bonus based on your metrics. There's even a watercooler to talk about the weather and who's screwing who's wife around. If I could do it again I'd have chosen statistics or software engineering. Insurance is the closest I'd ever get to the medical setting. It's unreasonable and a completely pointless job. People run their bodies into the ground, at best you give them another couple years to be fat/stupid and do the same thing that got them in the hospital.
