I was a profesional alcoholic neet, decided to stop drinking and finish my degree, now years later I work in international logistics in one of the biggest companies of the world (not in the wharehouses you fuckers).
Worst mistake of my life. I'm not even joking. There is not a single day that I don't want to kys

eh it's okay. I work like a dog some days, but it's an actual responsible job with real life consequences. There's less than a dozen people at my workplace and if we stopped working for a couple days it would unironically cause food shortages for hundreds of people. I don't get paid enough for a job this important though, and I could say the same about all my coworkers, even the branch manager. It's kinda gay.

being a shrink would have been way gayer. I don't know those fuckers justify that shit to themselves.

Wanna know what the most ironic part is? Driving trains is way easier and pays far more than I ever got as a technician.

I feel this. I used to be a NEET as well. It’s like I started progressing in life and everything on paper got better but I’m just unhappier, in debt, and tired while putting on a believable smile as I keep spinning my wheels. I just wanted to be free kek

I was an accountant and after 4 years I developed a habit of tearing my head because of stress, after my friends told me how bad I looked I decided to study psychology, and with my savings I bought a small office, sincerely I feel satisfied with this, I could even start to hold things like Maga with my free time

> Study biology in school (mistake), take lots of plant biology classes.
> Work in cafes with gay guys and medicated women to pay for school.
Cafe work was unironically the most fun I've had at work.
> Hard time getting job after graduation. Find job in weed industry (Canada had just legalized)
> After 3 years hop into big pharma. Better pay, better benefits
> Unironically more disorganized and shitty than growing weed and making weed extracts.
Been in big pharma for 3 years and work as a production supervisor now, after working in the quality department. I'm planning on leaving soon. The work sucks so much ass. My job would be 50% better if I didn't have to deal with pajeets. Some of the most difficult people to work with.

imo the problem is that the field is female dominated and permeated with feminine energy, which is why it's extremely gay, but the same could be said for a lot of academia. There must be a way to make 'therapy' actually work for men. It must be for men by men and the process would be vastly different. Alas, masculinity is le bad and so the way we are 'treated' by professionals only infantilises and emasculates us further.
