Call centre by a country mile. All important decisions about what you can do and say are made by nameless faceless people who you cannot dispute with, and you are constantly handed problems that you do not have the tools to solve. And your fun job is listening to the customer take out all their frustrations on you, knowing full well that you so much as raise your voice or interrupt them and it gets listened to on a call by a manager you'll be dragged in to a meeting to be told off for it. And if you have a problem with any of this, the response is simple: "Shut up and work."

If you’re a completely shameless kike, you can make an absolute killing in sales. But you need to have quite a bit of people skills and have a lot of confidence ( you don’t have to know what you’re talking about, just need to fool the potential customer). And you need to be able to read a person and come up with a personality that they can easily relate to, which will make them more trusting of you.

Warehouses keep you fit and often have tons of other departments you can move to so you can get out of the ground floor shit jobs like loading and unloading by hand.
Can you drive a forklift?

It depends on what you do. Yeah, if you're a brickie or a carpenter framing houses all day you're gonna have a rough time and your body's gonna be like "peace out" by about 35. A electrician will be fine, as will an industrial gas fitter. Like any other career you just need to put some thought into how it's going to pan out long term.

Also consider that sitting in an office all day with poor posture in a job that's largely sedentary will leave you pretty unhealthy by 35 as well, if you're not actively exercising.

Best no-skill wagie job BY FAR is security, get insane OT and after 6 months you can pick up decent contracts in HCOL areas making 25/hr+, with OT you can make 70k/year watching youtube and shitposting here. All the retarded security guards stay with AU for more than a year. The best part is they hire literal retards who can't graduate high school. They even hire homeless people, if you have average intelligence, you can rise in security pretty fast by just being reliable, on time and not weird.

I managed to find a bit of a sweet spot. I work call center but it's text chat based. Worst someone can do is type in caps lock.

Imagine having to guide senile old people cussing at you the entire time through the process of deleting a folder on their computer or resetting their router without showing the slightest hint of aggravation in your voice otherwise your entire livelihood is put at risk.

One time this guy at a place I used to work just lost his shit on a call, hung up and walked outside. Then he pulled a crowbar out o his trunk and smashed all the windows out on his corvette before taking the bus and checking himself into a psych ward and remembered none of it. What warehouse work does to your body, call center work does to your mind.

Being a warehouse worker now and a multi-year NEET during other times I can say both have their downsides for different reasons.

Find Jesus and maybe you won't have such mediocre lives.

In case you haven't noticed he's been crying all over the thread about his one day in a warehouse. Methinks mommy made him get a job and he was horrified at the idea of actually working so had to come up with a bunch of excuses.

Grocery clerk is pretty chill for a short term wagie job.

>put cereal on shelves
>stack cans of beans
>tell some housewife where peanut butter is

If you end up "facing" (organizing everything in the isles so items are pulled forward, neatly stacked, etc.), that is meditative and a pleasure for autist sorting enjoyment. And if instead you are doing early morning pre-open stocking, then that is simply unpacking larger boxes onto shelves, just after the sun rises, in an empty store.

Never worked register and never wanted to. Grocery floor work, very chill, though.

Trail maintenance with the USFS, BLM, etc. also seems like it would be fun.

Also, dog walking was very chill, too.
