Currently NEET in BC, Canada. I'm getting $575 (USD) or €510 per month from the taxcux. How do I get more?

I have completely failed at adulthood. I'm 27. 11 years ago I worked in a grocery store a 5 min walk from my parents place, which I moved back into 8 years ago. Today, I received an email from their HR telling me that they're sending my application to the store manager. In this 11 year period, I finished HS, moved between 4 different cities, spent 6 years in university and then dropped out, and have pretty much been in and out of dead end jobs since I dropped out. Went to trade school and flunked out, got a job in my field and then got fired, so here I am at 27 excited at the opportunity to go work with children and retards at the local store, the same store that I worked at right out of high school. I can't believe this, but it was honestly easier for me to get a job and keep it as a teenager in the middle of the Great Recession than now. I've gained 30 kg, but I'm technically more educated, but it doesn't seem to matter. I'm starting to have legitimate worries about saving for retirement. I didn't think I would enter my 30s with a net worth of $0, or close to it, or maybe even negative. I thought I'd be married, gainfully employed, and a condo owner by now. Instead, I'm a fucking NEET who mooches of his pensioner parents and the taxcux. I wouldn't have lifted a finger in school if I knew this is how I was going to turn out.

No thanks. It's just a gatekeeping scam. I tried and failed at STEM. I'm just too dumb to code worth a damn or figure out if a differential equation has a solution, so here I am at the bottom of the heap in the army of surplus labour. I just have to write a bunch of exams to eventually get my Red Seal, so I will never have to pay tuition again.

>inb4 "Get a real job."

It's tough out there for men without college degrees, and it looks like the yield curve is now inverted*, so I'm probably looking at another lost decade. I'm giving up on formal wage slavery because it's a waste of time. Maybe I'll be at the same job next month, maybe I won't, but I know that there's a 100% chance that I will not be making a career out of my current job. I need to learn how to work the system to get more gibs, because it's going to be how I make ends meet after my parents drop dead.

wasted time + wasted money = university for <130 IQ ppl

current net worth: -$10,000 (CAD)
infl. adj. net worth @ 16: $6,000 (CAD)
