You can create a scamcoin like other famous philosophy majors. Just look at chainlink.

(1 of 2) to begin, if you're a white male in the west you might as well abandon any hope of being an academic unless you're genuinely brilliant and top of your class at an ivy league school. you will likely have some student debt. you will attempt to pay it off working a shit job somewhere for a year or so. you will hate this much more than the average worker because you've spent 4 years conditioning yourself to overanalyze every scenario you find yourself in while searching for some sort of enduring meaning. no one else will care about that struggle, yours or their own. no one on earth will talk to you about philosophy at a high level ever again. you'll lose touch with your buddies in the program. professors you loved like parents will eventually forget you ever existed. on top of this you won't make nearly enough money. you'll look at all your peers who studied practical things and see that they are getting compensated well in their respective fields. buying cars and houses, getting engaged, “moving on up in the world” as it were.

meanwhile you’re suddenly much worse off than you were in college. a year will pass as you slowly begin to realize you've made a massive mistake. you had no clue whatsoever about just how important making money actually is in the real world. you have no clue what you're supposed to do to make it. you have no training. you have no business connections. you have no experience. you treated college as some sort of intellectual playground where you and your fellow philosophy majors sat in the grass quoting nietzsche and kant, safe from the worries of the outside world. you were literally in an ivory tower, and you will one day realize that it was the absolute pinnacle of your entire life. no situation you find yourself in will ever give you the luxury to sit around thinking about these issues again. you will slowly get dumber. you'll stop reading as much. stop caring about the issues. suddenly 2-3 years have passed. you live in a shitty apartment if you’re lucky. if not, you’re at home with your parents. at this point you begin to panic. do you go back to undergrad in something else? do you resign yourself to the fact that you’ll be working at bookstores or coffee shops for the rest of your life? do you actually attempt to be a philosophy professor even though you’ll make shit money and have to deal with PC bullshit politics that have you taking 1 year tentative positions at random schools across the country for a decade straight? that’s something you’ll have to figure out on your own.

the point is you’ve wasted your life in a sense anon. yes you have a theoretical understanding of ethics/metaphysics/etc that easily eclipses 99% of the general population. but the value of that knowledge in the working world is utterly worthless.

How to work the McDonalds fryer:

I don't know about your store, but mines has two fry vats. Each vat has space for two baskets, so that's a total of four spaces. When you put the first basket in, you put it in the left side of the leftmost vat. If you have to put in a second one while the first one is not up yet, you put it in the left side of the vat that's to the right of the previous one. For the third basket, put it in the right side in the leftmost vat. The fourth one goes on the right side of the next vat. As you can see, you are supposed to avoid putting them next to each other. but when you do, make sure there's at least 30 secs in between.

Whenever you put down a basket, press the timer button. They are the buttons labeled 1 and 2, with 1 being for the left side and 2 being for the right side. When the timer beeps, you'll see the words PULL appear. It'll appear on the left side of the LED small panel indicating that the left side's fries are ready to be pulled up, or on the right side indicating the right side is ready. Just press the corresponding timer to get it to stop.

Tips:

You should always have 3 smalls, 3 mediums, and 1 large ready at all times. Act like as if every customer/car will take 2 smalls and 2 mediums. That way most of the time you won't have to worry about running out. Of course make sure you don't have too much extra. But some managers may get really nitpicky about you making too much/too little. It's possible that one day a manager will complain that you are making too little, but then the next day a different one will warn you about making too much.

If the fries have been sitting there for over 5 mins, make news ones and throw the old ones away.

Fries are every easy, but can get exhausting after 2 straight hours due to the pace and the heat.

you've been unemployed for 9 years? that's almost a fucking decade

I've been out of college for about 7 years now. My good friend in school went to a mid tier state school for philosophy. I was in the computer science program at the same school. He is a smart guy and your typical history buff, table top game, net culture, etc. nerd.

After we got out, I lived with him in an apartment in Chicago for a bit. First he worked a bunch of shit jobs, then eventually got tired of being poor, and got a low level IT job, as he knew a decent amount about computers from growing up a nerd. Now, after 5 years in the tech industry, he is working as a sys admin, making $115k a year plus bonuses for a small company in Chicago. As long as you have a degree, skills, and can be charismatic in your interview, you can work in many fields besides the one your degree is in.

French fries. Start practicing
