in a warehouse job your body is a slave, in an office job your mind is a slave
pick your poison OP

>>52704969
Yeah I know I want to use my mind not my body

>>52704897
Warehouse was a good gateway for me to get /fit/ after not working out for years desu

>>52704974
Most of office jobs requires at least a meme degree.

The secret is that most of them are bullshit jobs gate kept by diplomas and nepotism.

>>52705006
Is an associates in liberal arts enough? It's all the college I have been able to get so far. I also have the comptia A+ cert

>>52705020
I don't think this degree will be enough.

You can get a job by networking, don't apply directly to job offers (as you will be out compited easily), try to talk to HR and managers working in offices for them to give you a bullshit job.

It's hard but possible (most office jobs require 0 skills and can be performed by anyone spending 2 weeks learning how the job is done).

>>52705020
The other way is to work in a warehouse/factory and network inside the company (which is easier when you're an employee) to get a job ouside the warehouse in the same company.

I knew a woman that went from secretary to HR manager by simply kissing the right asses, she didn't have any diploma related to HR or managment.

Company restructurations are a gold mines, everyone can get any post by simply asking.

>>52705020
Look for a job that offers a professional qualification or apprenticeship. You won't be able to get into a low level job without experience otherwise.

>>52705059
It's doable, but you'd be surprised at the amount of kick back you can get. Senior people in his current position don't like it when you look to outshine them.

>>52704897
>How do I get an office job?
What the fuck you don't want an office job. I slave away on SAP all fucking day.

>>52705097
how did you get it, I do this now but earn a slave wage in japan, trying to get a job back in the US but nothing but rejecting

>>52705020
There are help desk jobs that would take you. Not a true "office job" but call center. The pay will be shit but it gets foot in door to real IT jobs later.

>>52704897
>How do I get an office job? I'm so tired of working at warehouses and basically being a slave
Why? You'll become another wage slave with the neck tie with less free time and more of toxic "friends"

>>52704897
You want to move up from field nigger to house nigger huh?? You probably don't have the manners (education). Mind your place and make sure you dont get sold to the Lequint Dickey Mining co instead.

the amount of college kids that never had a real job in this thread is hilarious

you guys WILL need to get a job when you graduate, you cant be sitting around shitposting forever

>>52704897
Night shift security guard is the best bet for us lazy people. I literally get paid to chill in my car. Try to get a parking lot. Preferably in an isolated address. Shit is so easy

even with an economics degree and almost 2 years working in an office I can’t seem to even get an interview after 30+ applications. is it scaring companies off that i’m living overseas and have to relocate? is applying from indeed or linkedin the wrong move? how do I find out about jobs from companies other than the main job sites?

>>52704897
google "staffing" and call every agency in the area
you can be a data entry clerk or collections specialist, oftentimes from home nowadays, for like 20+ an hour

>>52705289
I don't feel like I'm lazy now though. I've made lots of bad decisions in life cause I was / am mentally unwell.

I'm 21 so my youth is over but I'm hoping I can somehow get a mind job where I make enough money to sustain myself living alone in a metropolitian area and don't ruin my body

>>52704897
>wanting to work in an office

You think an office job isn't slavery anon? Work. Invest in bluechips like BTC, ETH and BIT. Eventually you won't have to work anymore. A warehouse is better for your body than an office job anon. Trust me, it's worse.

>>52704897
>if you want to pretend at least turn on the computer Mr. Anderson
>get back to work!

>>52705006
Nah. If your willing to start at the bottom through a temp agency or something you can land any number shit office jobs. You just gotta be able to use a computer and type somewhat proficiently.

>>52706074
>I'm 21 so my youth is over
You mean your childhood is over. Youth lasts as long as you can make it last with diet, sleep, and excercise.

The body cannot live without the mind

>>52704897
HR jobs would probably be your best. Most meme degrees and roasties end up there.

It was easy for me to get an office job. I just got a degree. I worked a blue-collar job for a few days because I needed a job and they were hiring, but after a few days, I had a new job. It was only a few days, but I really hated that job.

Sometimes universities hire people without degrees to be admins and then pay for their degree.

>>52707634
>The body cannot live without the mind
and vice-versa
it's irrational to separate them. "Body" and "mind" are one in the same.
Delusional people even go so far as to pretend that "they" are only their mind, while their body is a separate, uncontrollable entity ... "I didn't want to eat so much, but my body craves food" or "I am a woman but my body is that of a man."

Mental health and physical wellbeing are interdependent.

OP: Customer Service jobs are easy to get, and are often a good foothold in a company either for promotion or to move to other departments.

Young adulthood ends when you hit your 40s and middle age ends when you hit your 60s and you become a super old at 80 and a giga old at 100

>still pushing the 'degree' meme

/biz/ is completely worthless for advice most people here are slaves who wage to invest into their house and 401k, underage kids posting pepes and bobos and adult permaneets who dropped out of highschool using their spare pennies to buy link thinking it'll go to 1000.

Rent an office
Start working in there

Fucking retards all of u

>>52705297
Most people only hire local

>>52705020
Dude don't listen to these people there are a ton of office jobs you can get with an associate's degree.
>Bookkeeper
>AP/AR clerk
>Customer service
The pay is shit but at least you sit at a desk and you might even get lucky with a comfy low effort position

>>52708243
I'm not pushing anything. These degrees are scams. I'm just saying it was easy for me.

>>52705020
>Is an associates in liberal arts enough? It's all the college I have been able to get so far. I also have the comptia A+ cert
you have to atleast know enough to keep appearances, you will need to do some work, but if you manage your tasks in a way that you always deliver what your boss needs not what he wants, knowing what is what is essential to keep doing the least work possible, most tasks you can simply disregard them and the boss will forget about it / never ask for it again, but there are those tasks that the boss actually needs to get done... with experience you can be doing 1h or 2h of work a day, at best, and the rest you have to browser the internet and do whatever the fuck you want, specially now that we all are working from home, it's so easy, it's not even funny

>>52704897
Make a LinkedIn profile, post once a day in grammatically correct English. The posts should have something to do with your chosen career field
Do this for 30 days. You will get a job offer.

>>52704974
No you don't. You think you do, but you don't.

>>52704897
it's only marginally better; it's better, but unironically not what you think after doing it many years. this is the only place i've ever worked though so maybe biased.
>t.in an office right now

>>52705289
ever had anything crazy actually happen? i've considered this but don't want any nigger situations

>>52704969
>browses reddit and twitter all day while getting paid after doing only 2 hrs of actual work
>sits in an air condition building
>hardest thing he has to do is probably sit through boring team meetings and submitting tickets

yeah, sounds like torture.

>>52704897
you need a degree to get a worthwhile office job.

>>52708709
Browsing reddit and twitter all day would be torture, go back you faggot

>>52708309
Did you do this? What field and what kind of articles?

>>52709017
Try working as a dish washer in a resturaunt for 12 hrs a day, then talk to me kid.

>>52704897
Would help you if I know you personally. My real friends, on the other hand, wouldn't leave the warehouse while having 2 kids and minimum wage.

>>52705278
That's where you're wrong kiddo.
I identify as a group getting ubi.
It's really that fucking easy and exactly why this nation is broken. Workers get no security, scammers n niggers get babied n spoon fed gibs for life

>>52709042
>sitting inside a comfortable building all day
Did it snow in the dishpit?

>>52709092
are you literally 12 yrs old?
You don't "sit" washing dishes. you stand up the entirety of your shift.

>>52709102
Oh god the horror

>>52709116
you quite literally wouldn't last a day, but go off king.
Probably never held a job before in your life and still in college living with mom and dad or something lol

>>52709127
When you reach your 20's you'll eventually see why you're retarded

>>52709143
You're probably not even old enough to vote yet, let alone chat up shit about working a real job.

>>52709168
When I say 'sitting in a comfortable dish building' I don't mean actually sitting, paco, I mean the fact that you had to stand in a comfortable building all day despite the elements is not a hard job, paco

>>52709191
If you actually worked a job in a restaurant, or a job at all, you would know that it wouldnt be a "comfortable dish building" you underage retard.

Im glad my riff on you pussy office workers riled you up so much though

>>52709221
Work outside for once in your life and you'll realize it's a comfortable dish building

>>52709240
nice projection, but ive worked construction and general labor jobs, you know something you'd be to much of a pussy to handle.

>>52709245
sure thing paco

>>52709249
cry harder, Billy. I heard Africa needs water

>>52709262
Word must travel fast in the dishwashing pit with the high school kids

>>52709275
Probably not as fast as those spreadsheets and emails you type up. I know that must be so "torturous" for you inbetween browsing reddit and this place
lol fuckin get over yourself pussy

>>52709285
I'd reckon you'd want to find a job that isn't washing dishes but you probably need a real social security number for that

>>52709310
asshurt office boi thinks im mexican, love to see it

>>52709343
this whole back and forth started bc little bitch boi got triggered I mocked his office routine, and wanted to argue that browsing reddit is harder than being a dishwater

loving every laugh

>>52709422
Look at my first post you responded to, paco

>>52708309
After you get the job, you need to make a daily post about how you were extra charitable and paid it forward to a up and coming office wagie by giving them a shot after they rushed out in traffic to clean your windshield with their diploma.

>>52704897
for what it's worth i worked blue collar for 18 years. felt very much like you, i didnt want to be exhausted and banged up and dirty everyday. got an desk job and been 2 years and im already looking for another blue collar job. not going back to doing back breaking work but being in an office is more than just sitting at a computer. depending on the office culture, you arent goong to be allowed to just fuck off like you do at home. some offices you can get away with it but even then its not the same. maybe its for you, just giving the warning.

>>52704897
office wagie here, I honestly miss the feeling of kicking back and cracking open a beer after a day in the warehouse... sitting at a keyboard all day and looking at numbers and code doesn't give me the same fulfilment as a hard day at that shitty back-breaking job

>>52704897
just find a local distributor or something similar and offer to start cheap-ish in their IT department doing data cleanup or something in excel
