One day at a time!

Drugs, alcohol, eating a lot, watching tv/ youtube/ social media, video games etc

>>51727657
I don't know, it's not for me.

>>51727657
White collar wagie here. I don't know - my soul is evaporating into the computer screen.

I have one year left before graduating. I am dreading becoming a wagie. (Have crypto but thats a wild bet for me obviously). What should I do?

>>51727707
I’m pretty comfy. I went from working in a call centre for ten years to getting my first graduate job recently. My boss doesn’t breathe down my neck and leaves me to my own devices. I get to work from home most the time which is great. The work is far more interesting and challenging. The pay isn’t much better yet but I’ll be on almost double what I earned before in four or five years.

Maybe because I know how shit things can be I appreciate it more but right now I’m very happy.

>everyone who does not conform to my world view is lying
I miss being 15.

You won't graduate. The university will demand tuition greater than the loan money afforded to you and you'll need to sell your crypto at a loss to pay for it, still falling short. When this happens they will lock your transcripts until the full balance is paid and further loans cannot be used to pay past semesters. You'll not be able to attend another school because your transcripts are inaccessible and employers won't be able to validate whatever credits were granted, forcing you to work menial low status jobs. Or you'll be dead in a car accident. You seem to be certain about your path but God has a way of foiling whatever aspirations or perceived woes you have. All I say is with your presumptuous attitude, you have much worse in store for your life and dare I say eternity.

This is why a lot of young men are trooning out these days. Whoring or onlyfans

>working in a call centre for ten years
How the fuck did you manage that? 3 days in I already wanted to blow my brains out and I walked out a week later. And I have a pretty high tolerance for working shit jobs

>>51727995
I don't believe in god bro. I will make my own path and try find a way. Alcohol will help me

>>51728099
Only crack and meth does more harm to your body and brain than alcohol. If you can’t deal with life at least go for something relatively benign like weed. It will fuck with your cognitive function but not anywhere close to the same as alcohol. And your liver, kidneys and CNS won’t be nuked

>>51728073
It could have been worse. It was a local government call centre so it didn’t involve selling anything and you weren’t expected to arse lick customers or take abuse from them. There was a fair variety of tasks including housing repairs, social work calls and community alarms calls so at least it wasn’t wholly repetitive. The pay was ok, I got time and a third at weekends and I worked eighteen hours at weekends whilst I was at university.

I worked in cold calling for BT selling landline packages for three months - that really was hell on earth.

>>51727657
finished my first week and i already want to die. my crypto needs to 100x and set me free.

>>51727657
the time flies by when every day is the same

>>51728099
>I will make my own path and try find a way
You won't.

>>51728258
You're now motivating me to prove you wrong

>>51728248
This. The last major event I remember was graduating high school. Every day has been wage slaving or doing nothing on the weekends

>>51727657
Boomers use alcohols use affairs. Zoomers and millennials use weed and "open" relationships

>he work is far more interesting and challenging. The pay isn’t much better yet but I’ll be on almost double what I earned before in four or five years.
good wagie

>>51728342
By all means feel superior to me because you have a jaded and cynical outlook. If I was in a job for a week and wanted to die I’d be asking myself what the fuck I had done with my life. You will not earn 100x your investment with crypto. Look for a means to getting a job that doesn’t bore you to tears.

>>51727958
Cope

>>51728460
>i-i have it so much better now, you wouldnt believe how shit it was before
>yeah i-im a wagie but at least a comfy wagie
>y-you'll never make it with those cryptocorns, you should get a stable job like me
the other anons are right, you are coping hard

>>51727657
I get paid. Income is your biggest wealth building tool. I also like my job

They have kids and it imbues their work with meaning and purpose.

>>51727657
Cigarettes, I always see middle aged grocery store wagecucks outside the store on smoke break with grey hair, sunken eyes, deep wrinkles, puffing their way to death's door

>>51728276
And how exactly are you going to do that whenever even your short term goals fail to materialize?

>>51727657
High conscientiousness, high agreeableness, thus, any high neuroticism, or introversion is curbed by habitual catharsis (drugs, alcohol, bad food, netflix), and any high openness is suppressed. Frankly, they 'like' it.

>>51728723
>>51727995
Contrarian crabs in a bucket. It must be tiring constantly looking for a way to tear complete randoms down over the internet. Does it even make you feel better about your life, or do you do it purely out of habit? Remains of a shitty attitude from when you were a teenager.

It is genuinely sad.

>>51727657
They don't have any hobbies or interests so for them only having a couple hours to themselves each day isn't a big deal. Maybe you watch a baseball or football game during the evening but that's about it.

>>51728460
>You will not earn 100x your investment with crypto.

>he missed ratboy
>he doesn't own lunc

They have or see a path to getting what they want. Short or that wagie will actually be dead inside.

>Contrarian crabs in a bucket.
That's a majority these days, good anon

Like you've pointed out, its a very mature trait not to be that way

>>51728726
>Income is your biggest wealth building tool
You lose 30% off the bat to taxes. Then another 30% to rent. Then another 20% inflation and more taxes

>>51728757
i know a few people who smoke all day and look good. they roll their cigarettes.

the issue is with the filters and man-made toxins in them not with natural tobacco

>>51730217
Why is your rent 30%? My rent is 700 a month

>>51727657
sucks to be you wagies. maybe one day you will join me but then again i hope most of you dont I enjoy my empty beach 5 days a week.

>>51730380
What shithole country you living in? Ain’t no empty beaches anywhere in America. Weekday or weekend.

>>51728460
fuck u

I haven't worked in 8 years. It get real fucking boring. There is only so much home improvement/vidya/hobbies you can do before nothing sounds fun anymore.

If you have a comfy job like software dev I could see doing that shit for the rest of your life. Then you have people in manual labor positions doing repetitive work everyday doing 70 hours a week.

>>51727860
if you accept 4 or 5 years, you'll accept 5 or 6 buddy
