Just turned 31 and have never made more than $20/hr. I need to break out of this system.

Time is waning and I can't keep beating myself up over all the time I've wasted. I would've loved to be a regular teacher, but taking the fucking "redpill" in college really altered my views on the world. I can't morally bring myself to perpetuate the status quo within public schools because it would literally feel like doing the devils work.

Do you guys have any suggestions for jobs that have a quick turnaround rate for how much time is needed to train to pay ratio. What's the least amount of time/money I can spend to make the most money with the time that I have?

My current plan is to become a trucker, but I relapsed from weed toward the end of last year and there are still picograms of weed in my fucking hair; the trucker facilities that offer paid training do hair tests. Prolly have to wait a couple more months to apply, last time I used was mid January.

Any suggestions would be appreciated, please and thank you.

Depends on your product or your service

Ray Croc, the asshole who made mcdicks a billion dollar corporation, only achieved actual success financially when he was 60 and had total control over mczognalds.

Here's the true redpill for financetards- there are some anons who got a good degree and won every roll of the dice and ended up making 6 figures before they were 30. There are other anons who will suck shit or a long time before the weight of time simply means you have more money than newfags.

But the biggest thing you're actually wasted- time- would be the ability to experience things you can only do when you're young. In particular since 18yos don't want to hang out with 31yos despite 4chan memes about shit like "I'm 50 and have an 18yo sugarbaby gf hehe".

Oh and I should mention Kroc's wife and daughter died before him and he had no grandkids. I'm not saying be a neet poorfag with no degree or qualifications your entire life, but having a plan to achieve the basic necessities like love and kids before you become a billionaire makes sense, since his entire fortune was forfeit.

I just dropped from 2400 a month with a lot of free time, to 0, now to 1100 a month with barely any free time. I was doing contracting and you get like anywhere between 25 an hour for long jobs or like 80 an hour for high tech special jobs that last two hours but the fucking pay management is so complex and you have to document all this little bullshit, it's just middle man labor for lazy engineers to not have to do anything.

Anyways, don't feel down about the hourly. Fuck the hourly it's a crutch so that you can continue in society without being a raw brigand and a thief, or a straight up drug dealer. No one likes fucking drug dealers except retards and dope fiends (drug dealers are typically dope fiends and they hide it well).

You need a side business like cleaning shoes on the weekends at malls for 20 bucks a pair, or programming websites on fiverr. Try freelance restaurant things like Qwikk, or whatever. Don't focus on getting a higher paying job, evacuate the idea of a job ASAP.

Well that's the thing, I've lived a pretty fucking unique life job scope wise, all of which provided great experiences, but I was a fucking retard with money, made poverty tier choices (food weed video games) and it only dawned on me when I got sober that I could've been making my future easier if I hadn't been making retarded financial choices.

At this point I feel this dire need to play catch up financially if that makes sense. I honestly pray that God gives me an obvious sign as to what I could do because I feel financially lost.

At this point I want to provide.

Become a waiter or bartender (I’m a bartender) get the basics down at a rinky dink job and then bs your resume to get a better job at a better establishment! You’ll make $20-50 an hour (not joking) it’s hard, it’s fun, if you look good you’ll get plenty of dates. I love it sometimes and I want to do something more professional at others but you’ll make some money.

I just got my TABC, alcohol server's license in Texas. I'm doing corporate pizza part time right now for poor pay, but I'm glad you brought that up. I'm just afraid to fuck up drinks, but I'll try to find a lower tier bar to learn and start and then work my way up, or use Qwikk or however the hell it's spelled like I suggested earlier for other things. Maybe even be a fuckin' 'budtender' if I get lucky. That's a thing now.

$20-$50 an hour?? Damn brother, where do you live if you don't mind me asking? I didn't know they could make that much. I'm definitely a people person...it's really weird because people tell me that I'm one of their favorite people/unlike other people/deserve greatness/etc, and I hate hearing that because although I appreciate the love I'm getting, I don't know how to make that "greatness" they see in me happen.

Ide also be concerned about me developing a drinking problem, how do you avoid drinking with other people if you're a bartender? Thank you for the suggestion as well my dude.

No I didn't. They told me over the phone and I was on a walk when they told me, didn't even think to record it. I wrote down what happened when I applied for unemployment though and I was able to collect that for a few months.

Do you know of anybody else this has happened to, or like a class action lawsuit for people who this same thing happened to? He didn't accept my religious exemption either.

It can be anywhere, I just moved to a coastal state tho! I personally like resorts and cocktail lounges… restaurants have good hours (no getting off at 2:00am). There’s a lot of downsides, but I’ve seen Reddit threads of IT geeks and corporate slaves who idealize the idea of being a bartender flirting with skanks and cutting up all day. So maybe I won in life and don’t even realize it idk there is a lot of bitch work involved and people will try to cut you down from time to time. But it’s whatever lol

As for drinking? I don’t really drink desu, if I do it’s with a chick or a group of them. Same thing with smoking dope. And I never drink at work!! That’s the real secret on how to get ahead in the industry, because most bartenders are alcoholic pot heads they blow most of their check at other establishments.

I really don’t see why you don’t become a teacher. I mean, don’t get vaccinated if you don’t want to get vaccinated but not doing what you want in life because “the system isn’t like ideal, man” is retarded. Just be a good teacher. Don’t be a sell out. If you don’t want to work for a public school, work for a private school. If you don’t want to work for a private school, be a private tutor. Just do what you want to do.

If it’s what you want to do, I think you should just go for it. There’s no point in wasting your life doing things you neither want to do not have to do. If you want to do something and you can do it, you may as well do it. It may not work out in the end, but at least you’ll have given it a shot and won’t regret never trying.

D2d sales. It changes a lot of guys lives. It's not for everyone, but if you have the ability to learn and be disciplined you can easily stack six figures a year.

Email me if you want. I run my own company, and can either possibly give you a job, or get you a position at a different company because I know guys in a lot of other d2d industries.

At the very least I can tell you where not to go.

I understand not wanting to sacrifice your principles for $
But you dont necessarily have to
Teachers have a surprising amount of autonomy
You will have more control than you realize to influence young minds
