I'm 25 years old without any college degree, and I just applied for my first job ever. It's just a simple job at the fresh produce counter at a grocery store. It's not much, but I'm proud of myself.

Did you go to college at all? What have you been up to for the last 7 years? Don't take this personally, I'm just always curious whenever I see posts like this. Were you parents OK with you not working? Have they been trying to get you to get a job??

Got shit grades because I was lazy in High School, did nothing for a while, worked a few stock boy jobs through som government program(from Norway), did nothing again, tried to take up biology and math at some school that lets you take up classes from High School again(dunno what that's called in English). Too lazy again, did nothing for a while, started a History course at university, dropped out cause boring, did nothing, next year(last year) started studying economics at university, actuall did well for a while and thought I learned my lesson, but I think I underestimated the amount of time needed to make it work, got too much work needed to be done, so I had no choice but to drop out, again. That was last fall, did nothing as a neet yet again for a while, until now. I do want some kind of education or a trade after a while, have considered welding, but I have a bit of debt now and I'm sick of being poor. This is the first job I've ever applied to myself while being out of the hands of the government faggots.

I have no idea how people like you exist desu. How the fuck do you get motivation at 15-16 to do well at school? I guess you had parents more dedicated to have you succeed. I'm the son of a single mom, who is very nice and loving, but never really pushed me much in education, or maybe it's more accurate that she never motivated me or taught me much. My dad I only see once in a while so not much help there. I never really learned how to "study" effectively.

The problem is your country is too soft and lets you get away with doing nothing and gives people free money for not working and allows NEETdom to happen.

>> No.50474957

Ehh, to be fair most of the time I haven't been NEETing, I've just failed at everything I've tried due to lack of motivation and no idea what I actually want to do.

Produce is the low-energy department, but occasionally they'll put a cute girl there with you. Try getting transferred to Meat & Seafood if you can. You can hang out with the chads. Trust me, the Meat dept is at the top of the peon hierarchy in the grocery business. If it's not a cucked store they have actual skilled workers there who could even teach you something if you're interested.

Stay FAR away from the band saws though, and if they want you to use them, refuse. Way too easy to lose a hand or finger; I heard some stories.

Anyway congrats anon, grocery stores are pretty chill.

I think you lacked the father figure to keep you on the straight and narrow OP. Seems a common problem for people raised by mother's. E.g. 'the inner city youth'.
The pride you feel now however, is basically the motivation. Once you start stacking up a few wins it gets easier and easier to keep on the path to success. Read some self help books, quite a few good ones are always recommended here.
Studying tends to be autism driven for me. Just endless rabbit holes. Sometimes, even years later, they connect.

I did horrible in highschool, had to take my senior year a second time. Thankfully my bad grades forced me to get an associates degree instead of a bachelors degree. I didn't need to take any loans, and I got some a certification at my 2 year college (not a university) which led to the start of my career.
When I was younger everybody made fun of the local community college. But, it ended up working out great for me. I always struggled with grades but was able to pass computer classes

Nta but I started my first real job at 24 (and it was through a temp agency) and I went to school for network security and digital forensics. Made it to last semester and even got offered a placement despite being a train wreck student. And then I just had a panic attack once reality set in this might really happen. Idk. I was and still am a retarded farm boy.

Really just blame myself. Parents were emotionally neglectful and I didn't have any relationships that felt supportive and trusting. I was some video game playing, weed smoking depressed retard but they didn't seem to care and neither did I.

you may have ADD too where you cant focus. i think you should just learn a technical job where your autism will shine. a job that doesn't require a uni degree but that is quite technical. you dont know what to do because you dont really know the jobs available in your country.

homework for you:

- research and make a list of ALL the jobs that exist in norway, their salary, what is needed to get them (education and skills/personality) and their typical day routine, their role in the organization. even better if you have to call and ask people what they do.

it may take a while but then you will have a complete and clear vision about the job market. that knowledge will be useful for the rest of your life. you need to be curious about it. the vast majority of people have no idea how society works.

>> No.50477158

you can start with the grocery store you applied. make a complete organizational chart of the store, what is required to do each job and how much they earn. call them and ask them about their job or a small interview. companies love people who are actually genuinely curious and do their own research about the company. that's how you access the job openings that aren't listed publicly.
