/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Benkyo Tamaoki is a pretty good artist.

You could be fodder in whatever army

>>10965413
Armies don't like depressed recruits.

>>10965411
I don't think there's a lot of demand for that.

Become famous on the internet and make a living from ads on youtube or twitch.
It takes basically no talent and you can work from home.

Can't you just dodge the issue until she forgets? That's how it always goes with me.

Write a book about your adventures as a NEET.

Professional dicksucker is your destiny. You might as well hit it up with a /jp/er rather than a stranger before it's too late.

>>10965438

Professional NEET

>>10965425

Yeah but you have to be entertaining and not socially awkward. I don't think a NEET could pull it off

become a professional gamer

My mom got me a job as a system administrator at a sheet metal factory. I had been a neet for 2 years and have no experience, but she knew the human resources person there.
I hope it isn´t hard.

Night shift at a gas station.
You're probably already used to staying up all night, and the deader it is, the more time for you to play vidya games on whatever portable console you own/laptop.

Become a professional bully

Come to Gensokyo.
You can become a farmer, or a teacher at Keine's school, or you can study magic and become a magician! There are a lot more options.
We're all waiting for you here!

Where my /jp/ EETbros at and how do you keep your job otaku related? Im a project monitor so all do is set up air sampling pumps, keep a logbook, and then lurk /jp/ and watch anime on my phone the rest of my shift. Its pretty good, im making $1200 a week.

I invest in bitcoins.
Buy in the morning, sell in the evening, even if you make a loss. It pays the bills. When my parents ask what I do, I tell them I'm an internet investor, which commands a lot of respect, even though all I go is transfer money twice a day while wearing pink pantsu.

>>10965520
I'm a librarian.

I make $30/hr.

>>10965528
How much money do you need to invest in bitcoins and actually make a living?

>>10965545
Is that as great is it sounds?

>>10965549
I spend about $1000-$2000 a day. It sounds like a lot but because I sell at the end of the day I almost always make it all back. I also buy other shares occasionally if I'm running low for that week, usually at around $500-$1000 worth. It doesn't yield much money but I live on small expenses.

>>10965415
Join the Air Force since they're a bunch of nerds anyway.

>>10965559
It's hard work. Lots of things to do.

>>10965564

>hard work
What is wrong with this generation?

>>10965497
I wish my mom had connections like that. As it stands she's probably going to get me a job as a cook at a diner. Not the worst job by any means but not laughably easy either.

>>10965572
What kind of librarian are you?

My social worker found me a job. It's not too hard but all the social interaction is stressing me and I want to quit already

>>10965497

That depends. What kind of servers are you supporting? How many people?

Any websites, web apps, or really business critical stuff?

Unless something goes wrong it is great. If something breaks, just reboot and pray. That should get you pretty far.

>>10965572

Libraries always seems busy when I see them. They have to organize the books, plan stuff, retire old books, and get new ones.

They also have to give me weird looks when I check out 2deep4u philosphy books.

>>10965587
I love KYH

>>10965591
What job is it?

>>10965411
Not the best way to go. I remember seeing a video a while back where someone survived drinking bleach, and the doctors had to connect his intestines directly to his throat. Many annoying complications.

If you're going to open a portal, make sure you take all precautions to do it right or don't do it at all. People who hesitate end up mutilating themselves are the ones who suffer the most in the end.

>>10965608
Sounds similarly awful to people who try and OD on painkillers or something like that.

>>10965606
Mostly helping with computers, writing advertisements online, etc.

>>10965608
>>10965613
The most suitable ceremony for portal opening is helium poisoning.

>>10965561
Did you start doing this years ago? It seems like the whole thing is useless now that everyone knows about it. Plus you need funds at the very start. Either that or a very good computer.

>>10965630
I started about a year ago. Started off with $10 a day and built it up when I realised that it was actually going to work. It's still not useless, in the least. If anything people knowing more about it increases demand, which increases bitcoin buying power, which means I can sell them for more. Bitcoins have been getting stronger and stronger for the past year or so. Bitcoins are also very reliable, due to the fact that as they are mined, the less become available, which means they are only going to get stronger and stronger as demand increases. It isn't some arbitrary currency that people can increase or decrease the value at will, like physical currencies.
>you need funds at the very start
It isn't hard to scramble together $1000. That amount of money is nothing in the real world.

>>10965622
I'm sure even with that someone would probably end up doing something stupid like connecting the mask directly to the tank at high pressure.

>>10965649
>It isn't hard to scramble together $1000
Seems hard to me. I've been trying to get that much for the last two years and so far all I've got is $600...

>>10965661
My guess is because you're posting on /jp/ you aren't really connected to the real world.

>>10965649

We don't live in the real world anon. I actually need around $1300 right now to pay a debt and there is absolutly nothing I can do. I don't have any skills nor own anything valuable.

>>10965655

Just go to a party/air store and obtain a regulator.

>>10965667
I guess so? How am I supposed to get money when I don't know anybody or how to talk to people or any job experience?

I guess I'll try the bitcoin thing now or something.

>>10965672
Can't you get that money from autismbux or welfare? I'm not American, so I'm not to sure how it works, but when I was living with my parents I got $130 from the government for nothing a week. The bitcoin thing takes awhile to get a feel for, so start off with smaller dollars and as you get more and more confident, build yourself up. I play it really safe so I don't get that much money, but the more you're willing to risk the more you stand to gain, as with any investment.

>>10965678
>but when I was living with my parents I got $130 from the government for nothing a week.
Holy hell dude. If I was able to get something like that here I wouldn't ever have money problems. Not American either.

>>10965683
Most of that went on to rent I was paying to my parents though.

>>10965678
>130 a week

are you sure it isn't 130 per quarter year?

>>10965649
I've got $2000 in the bank somewhere, color me intrigued.

I'll look more into this but it sounds too good to be true.

>>10965678
Around here you could get around $90 a week (maybe more) but since the banks collapsed they started cracking down.

>>10965687
I understand. I accounted for that.

>>10965678

I live on less then $130 dollars per week, what glorious country is this?

>>10965711
Scandinavia probably

>>10965700
>$90 a week
The $130 is in my local currency, which is fairly weak, so it's probably close to $90 USD
>>10965711
New Zealand.

>>10965649
What site do you use to trade?

This sounds like more fun with slightly less unpredictable bs than forex

>>10965730
I look at various sites and buy from the lowest seller and sell to the highest buyer each day. Just google it, it'll come up with dozens.

>>10965545
An actual librarian requires a very advanced degree.

>>10965769
/jp/ pls

>>10965769
>>10965774
$30 dollars an hour is more than most degree holders earn.

>>10965774
No it's true. You need a master's degree in library science.

>>10965789
Why are you talking about money?

>>10965789
Who needs money when you are challenging the very nature of society with a degree in minority womens studies.

This just killed my hopes

>What sort of jobs can neets do

this is a trick question, isn't it?

Best job for NEET is night auditor. Sit around and do nothing, post on /jp/ all night, run some numbers in a computer occasionally.

>>10965798
I was just putting forward an observation I made that was tangentially related, please don't leave your autism un-managed.

what kind of backwater hellhole do you live in that doesn't require librarians to be educated?

>>10965837

please don't answer that by the way

>>10965822
No just high school. Some college can't hurt but it's not needed unless you're trying to work your way up into management or something.

My mom got me a job at the engineering firm where she works, but I can't do anything because I'm not an engineer. I just stay out of the way and browse imageboards on the office computer. i tried to help once and made a huge mess

>>10965867
Why aren't you an engineer?

>>10965871

look man, he might be an unemplyable, unlovable neet, but at least he's not an engineer. let him have that.

>>10965871
I heard you have to be smart to be one of those.

>>10965497
Depends. Factory jobs can be VERY demanding -- especially for a neet. If you don't like it, quit and just get a retail job or something.

>>10965871
I tried, but it's really hard

engineering school is 6 or 7 years long
the first year has 8 courses in total (mostly math)

I signed up in late 2009, and I had 6 of those courses passed by dec. 2012. two weeks ago I got a notice from the school saying that they were changing the reading material for 3 of the courses, and because I haven't finished first year yet I will have to retake them. I got so mad (who wouldn't be? It's 3 years of my life down the drain) I broke into the dean's office at night and pissed and shat all over it, got caught and expelled

My dad got my a job at his workplace. I have to match scanned paper logs with digital logs to organize the years' worth of logs that the company has accumulated. Basically, all I do is read peoples' bad handwriting and type out the first few numbers of each log for several hours a day. It's just like filling captcha's on /jp/!

>>10965887
>I broke into the dean's office at night and pissed and shat all over it, got caught and expelled

>>10965909
Why not buy a captcha pass but for your job?

>>10965887
What kind of fucking barbarian shits and piss in a room?

>>10965887
Such a retard could never have gotten in.

>>10965867
do you have high functioning autism?

I heard on the radio if you can find a developing city from ghetto you can get a good factory job because they are looking for people who aren't illiterate niggers. Of course the downside is is that you might get shot in the parking lot.

>>10965887
I wish I had enough courage and less self-restraint to piss and shit in people's offices.

>>10965791
A master's degree in librarianism? Do you have to write a thesis? How does that work? This is bananas.

>>10965920

sounds more like low-functioning

>>10965407
Stock boy. Unload trucks. Stock back stock. Stock shelves on purchase floor. Very simple. You can work your way up to management one day when you develop enough social and leadership skills.

>>10965917
More like, what kind of douchebag would force a student to retake a course just because he changed some of the reading material?
people in academia are mobsters, they re-write books their own books every couple years and force their own students to buy them, shit shouldn't be legal.

they were lucky I didn't torch the building

>>10965572
That's what library assistants are for. Us librarians generally wouldn't have the time to do anything if we had to always be shelving books and doing menial clerical / logistical work all the time. We do a lot more than that, such as finding, researching and assembling/organizing papers, texts and media on topics that could not be found on the internet, writing books, being knowledgable and networking with other librarians/authors/pioneers/significant people in their respected fields/professions/specialties, along with various other projects unique to each library and its staff and patron needs.

>>10965939
also whenever I had to get some paperwork done they'd look up my file and say stuff like "wow you signed up in 2009 and haven't even finished your first year yet?" and then laugh at me, everyone in that school was a dick

>>10965943
I never knew those old ladies were up to so much.

>>10965928
It's more complicated than it sounds
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_science

>>10965939
>More like, what kind of douchebag would force a student to retake a course just because he changed some of the reading material?
Elementary math is always the same. Why didn't you just redo the courses? You must know that stuff anyway or you'll bomb the more advanced courses hopelessly. I'm not going to believe your bullshit story.

>>10965928
It's combination of multiple history degrees and multiple language degrees.

>>10965963
I had to retake Algebra I 3 times before I passed, I wasn't going to take it a 4th time, I had had enough.
my mom wants me to sign up for a different school next semester, but they already said they won't accept any of my pre 2011 credits because it's been too long, I'd have to start all over again

>>10965943
>>10965954
That's interesting. In my country libraries act as storages for books and everything that goes on goes on in the universities.

>>10965407
learn programming, learn photoshop, freelance
learn japanese, freelance

game like a pro, tournamnets

and if you can\t do any of the above

then go seek training courses at your local job center or at least learn how to do market stuff BEFORE you apply to work as a cashier in a local grocery store

>>10965943

My librarian was fucking retarded.

I came in one day to ask if she could check in the computer if they had and of the Necronomicon books. When I said "Necronomicon" she stared at me like I had just whipped out my dick and started masturbating in the middle of the room. She asked me in a hushed voice: "Like... *relations*? With zombies?"

I explained that no, that's necrophilia, and her assistant who was doing shit behind her apparently had also shared her confusion. "Ooh, 'cause when I heard Necro..." she said.

I hate living here.

>>10965985
If your troubles were so tremendous, how did you manage to get in?

>>10965545
don't you have to graduate a university to work as librarian?

please tell me more, I'd love to know about it

>>10966012

Hahaha what are you, the boss of the internet? King of autists?

>>10966012
My friend told me a while back how he was told to check the children's section after he asked about a copy of Animal Farm.

Maybe the librarian had a sense of humor.

>>10966060
Fuck off nerd.

I doubt video stores get that much business anymore, you could get a job there and just browse imageboards or whatever most of the time.

>>10965889
I tried being one, but it turned out lying in bed depressed most of the day and occasionally browsing /jp/ wasn't the smartest thing to do. Studying while depressed is impossible I swear.

No, she was serious. For sure.

>>10966075

>>10966084
From my experience around here of librarians not knowing shit about anything it was questionable.

It's generally frowned upon for a librarian or their staff to express partiality or make negatively weighted remarks against the subject of a book that one of their patrons is looking to borrow.

i.e. Imagine how uncomfortable it would be if someone snarked you for checking out books on "What to do if you're in a verbally abusive relationship" or "Dealing with (medical condition)"

>>10966094
epic /lit/post dood xD

I've already got to re-do my first year of university because I missed some modules while locking myself in my room and trying not to talk to anyone

It's only summer break and my parents are already telling me to get a part-time job since I'm basically broke plus I was supposed to go to a GP for anxiety but I keep waking up late.

How do I get out of this /jp/?

>>10966094
>lel
Please stop.

Getting a job is stupid.

I breed fish for a living. It required a week of initial research then two hours of work per day maintaining the fish. I usually make about four thousand USD per month.

Why spend literally half your life working for someone when you can make the same money doing something on your own?

>>10966084
Are you implying that librarians don't know what sort of books they have in their own library?

you're just autistic as fuck, face it

>>10966103
What kind of fish do you breed?

>>10966103
how much did you have to initially invest?
why don't more people do this?
surely there must be a hook....

>>10966103
"Job security", which is a bit silly because you could be declared surplus at anytime.

>>10966048
I had to start digging and it appears that exactly three universities offer minors in "information studies". In addition, a master's in something, preferably humanities, is required.

>>10966125


you must have searched something wrong

btw im a gorl

>>10966160
Why?

I'm almost 25 now and I want to go back to school since I'm going to end up killing myself eventually if I stay like this. By the time I graduate, if that even happens, I'm going to be almost 30.

>>10966166
because in poland you can study this at every university, dunno about other countries

there is no way there are only 3 in USA

>>10966178
At that point you can get married and have kids anon. Go do it.

>>10966178
So? When I graduated there were middle aged people and some guy in his 70s in our class.

>>10965407
OP go to those places that search a job for you instead, that's how I found one and forced myself out of NEEThood.

I dropped out of university a month ago so I could use a job too. I dropped out because for the past year I was so socially anxious I couldn't go to lectures, I would pee in the sink (public bathroom) and would go without food for days at a time.

I got pretty depressed because of it and I had a noose hanging on my door frame for a few weeks but was too cowardly to do the deed.

It took me so long to admit there was a problem to my parents too because my dad is ceo of a civil engineering company and expects me to be an absolute genius.

>>10966178
You've been duped into thinking that being a teenager is the best time to go to college.

>>10966178
Same for me, but I haven't generated any income since I left, so I'm not in any better position to continue than I was then.

>>10966216

Of course it is. College is something that increases your income. If you take something that increases your income later-in-life, there will be less income to increase, as your life is finite. If you do it as soon as possible you have the maximum amount of years in which to have increased income.

>>10966185
I'm sorry but you must have misread a post or two. I was surprised by the American model that seems similar to your Polish model. Here, have some Google translate:

"The general requirement is a master's degree, including or in addition to which has been carried out in library and information services sector studies. The research libraries of the University of tasks required to complete training."

No librarian degrees around here.

>>10966212
I know what this is like. Thankfully this year I'm paying out the ass for my own kitchen and toilet, but I still can't go to lectures and I'm failing most of my papers. It's gotten to the point where I won't even do assignments. I don't want to drop out or admit I'm failing to my parents. I just hate it so bad.

>>10966222
>College is something that increases your income

Discounting all the bullshit majors these days that's probably true for about 10% of the people who actually go to college.

>>10966086
I wouldn't want to be associated with modern "gamers". There's this one really great store in my city that sells retro games (albeit overpriced), and I applied there a few times, but they told me that people usually get in through connections if anything.

I only read the first paragraph of the wikipedia article, but:

I'd pay attention to the distinction, if anybody is actually considering this.
