In college when I was working shit minimum-slave jobs, I would memorize the digits of pi. They didn't want us reading, surfing the web or anything like that, so I literally memorized tons of the digits of pi to pass the time.

I forgot most of it, though.

Get a job where you sit at a desk.
Then when you get that job use the computer you have at your desk to browse 4chan all day instead of doing the job you were hired to do. It's been working for me for almost 2 years now.

First, find a way to totally relieve yourself of work. I did some beautiful c++ and CSV magic that made my own position obsolete in minutes. I run the macros and that shit does everything in 5 minutes.

I sometimes trade stocks, browse 4chan, listen to music, read books, learn Spanish, or just straight goof off.

I did that as a security guard. Literally nothing to do but browse 4chan for 6.5 hours out of the day (night actually).

I wound up reading a lot of books. I tried to work my way through SICP but it was hard and I gave up.

It was hell. You'd think that getting paid minimum wage to be a NEET would be great but eventually it grinds you down. As far as I can tell, there are no long term solutions.

yeah Costco is nuts man, they pay pretty good with no college degree

but they work you pretty hard, its non stop once you enter the workplace. Also you will be on carts your first 6 months, which is gay as fuck.
