Fellow wagecuckers, what's your job and what are you doing to try to escape it?

Banker and I'm not. I work to sustain my life and for the benefits obviously. All else for me right now literally goes to crypto and my house I just bought.

>inb4 hurrrr renting is better than buying
No. I'll never live next to anyone again. Having a country house is god-tier.

I work as a waiter in a hotel.

I get no respect from the customer or my boss. Everyone at work is an insufferable normie that likes to take selfies all the time.

I'm a student, when I get out I'll probably be in an extremely stressful job because I'm a stupid autist so I'm trying to make phone apps and crypto investments to avoid what is going to be LITERAL hell for me for about ~40 years

Recently finished phd now looking for a job. Should probably spend more time applying for jobs than looking at blockfolio.

I'm a mover making 17.50 an hour. ;_;

I'm buying a cargo truck and starting my own business.

[Anonymous No.2391553]

I work at a community college answering admissions and financial aid questions in a call center.

Essentially I browse reddit for 7 hours a day cause it's pretty slow and I'm not about to go on 4chan at work.

Fiancee's dad is hooking me up with a full time job working for the gubmen water department. I'll take a $2-4 pay cut hourly but work 40 hours a week instead of 29, and get gubmen benefits instead of literally nothing. Just won't have to talk to anyone besides my coworkers, so I'm happy about that.

Pay jumps $8 after I pass a 90 day certification. Can't wait.

right now we're working on a little project with AMD, trying to have frames rendered on a desktop PC and transferred wirelessly to a laptop so that the headset doesn't need to be tethered to a desktop.

we've got a hololens in the office too. it's pretty sweet. what do you do?

[Anonymous No.2392123]

HVAC Technician. It's easy to pull $150k/year here if you are willing to work, more jobs then technicians especially in the summer.

I invest in crypto. I was actually exposed to it on the job, did a bunch of HVAC work for a very large Bitcoin mine a few years ago and obviously peaked my interest. Made more this year in crypto then I did my job. Accountant isn't too happy and it's not even the second tax quarter.

Security guard. I'm in an accounting program so that's gonna get me out of security. My parents have a cash pile and after I before an accountant I want to get in some real estate deals with them to make some passive income.
We're all gonna fucking make it bro.

[Anonymous No.2392509]

I'm a college student but I work as a parking attendant for $11 an hour.
It's decent enough and I get enough grants and scholarships that is just extra money to throw into crypto.

I'm freelancing.

I try to improve my skill so I can get a 9-5 job and freelance after hours.

Instead of taking any job, I went after my dream job.

Winning for life. Pic related.

[Anonymous No.2393758]

Fuck everyone with their decent job.

Recently I was a barista now I am a cashier at a place similar to home depot. Fucking shitty.

[Anonymous No.2393794]

Then do something besides browsing 4chan.

Pilot, USAF

I love this job. It's fucking awesome, and when I get out I have the potential to go airlines, defense industry, or just stay in and earn bank.

Only complaint is that depending on what's going on I'll be gone all the time, and it's extremely hard to maintain a relationship with this lifestyle. Sometimes you get stationed in a complete shithole and it's a few hours drive to civilization for some sanity (experiencing this right now).

Welder

trying to escape by getting into Crypto. Even if I cant fully escape, I can start welding at an easier place.

Only problem is I dont know how to get started in Crypto and I feel like if I google answers they will be setting me up to fall for some scams

[Anonymous No.2393981]

packaging

$10 an hour

might go for welding

[Anonymous No.2394001]

>>2393942
How's welding? What are the pros and cons? It's always seemed pretty cool to me.

Honestly, just go to coinbase if you're not too tech savvy. Super easy way to get into crypto. I'd get in sooner than later if I were you, shit's poised to moon! Especially ETH imo.

Start off by cramming investopedia vids when you aren't tired. Learn some basic finance stuff. Crack open your high school economics text if you still have it. Hunt down some PDFs. You can search google specifically for PDFs by typing filetype:pdf before your search term. Share your knowledge with others in knowledge share threads. Don't succumb to forces that make you more forgetful (alcohol, etc.)

If you mind all this, you'll be doing better than me. The best teachers are hypocrites, and the best learners have no time to teach.

Pros
>The highly skilled work (Pipe, Underwater, Military Support) all pay over 100k
>cheap and easy to learn
>As of right now, easy to find a shop hiring welders

Cons
>Most welders start in a shit shop for shit pay

>High paying work usually requires you to travel around and move for work

Forensic investigator for a law firm - trying to sneak my way into some sort of senior ex-intelligence consultancy somehow.

Don't really give a fuck about the money I just want to know how the world actually works.

Don't really give a fuck about the money so much as understanding how the world really works, money tends to follow that anyway.

Also what are the best exchanges? Obviously coinbase is the one most talked about, but I have also heard of Gemini, Kraken, and GDAX
