>tfw even part-time work feels oppressive

I don't get how people willingly spend 40+ hours a week on this shit unless they absolutely have to (or they somehow find a career that interests them; or they make an absurd amount of money that would allow for early retirement).

If I had the funds (or the NEETbux hookup) I'd NEET it up forever. Does that make me an outlier? Do most people genuinely want to work? That can't be right, can it?

The idea is to figure out what kind of discipline is attractive to you, specialize in it and then start making money by doing what you love, i.e. being a scientist for example

Man, I've taken all sorts of "career aptitude" tests and none of the results intrigued me in the slightest. I feel like it's not the field or industry a job is in that matters, it's the nature of the job itself (work culture, boss' personality, commute length, etc.) and that can be difficult to determine.

My "dream job" would probably be one where I can secretly just play vidya all day.

Well there are several reasons, would you like me to list the main two? Money and social pressure. Inflationary economy we have to spend spend spend (not really but people cant see that) so they need to earn earn earn. Social pressure is a result of industrialization and protestantism. Protestants had this retarded idea that success in career means you were predestined to succeed and you are guaranteed a spot in heaven. This trickled down through communities and manifested in similar ways, the predestination aspect didnt remain but the protestant work ethic did.

Being a NEET is the worst feeling that exists and you will kys or turn your life around after a couple of years of it. People who say they'd be NEETs for life if they had the funds have no idea what being a NEET is like.

I work as a manager of several large liquor stores (boss is a literal pajeet) where I earn 60k a year salary plus bonuses. I probably do 50 or so hours a week. I like the job and I use my power as a manager to both gain free alcohol and have sex with every young female cashier I hire.

I also own 3 rental homes which net me 38k a year in passive income and are mostly paid off (owe 90 grand on one, others are mine fee simple). Total value of the houses is not much, probably 550k.

I average about 40 to 60k a year trading stocks and crypto which is pretty comfy. This latest bullrun I've made over 100k in the past 9 months, which really makes me not want to work anymore but I know it won't always be this good so I keep showing up everyday.

All in all I like what I'm doing. Zero stress at my job, always something new to try or new people to meet and talk with. The young sluts and booze are a big part of the appeal.
