/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'm in High School.

I dropped out.

Also, reported.

I was. I just forgot the register so now I spend all day playin vidya and watchin animu.

I dropped out and am struggling to pay of my loans even though I have no job.

>>2038352
HAHAAHAHAHAAAAAHAHAHA

Drop out too

I'm unemployed.

I'm still in it, loving the loans piling up while the job market is shrinking

I go back soon.

I'll show those bros the power of a former NEET; I'll get straight A's.

I am, sadly.

>>2038374
It doesn't work that way. You can't save up your mental capacity by doing nothing for a length of time.

community college

depends.
New Zealand meaning of college or America meaning of college?

I go back in two weeks. I haven't been in college since I was 18 (I'm 25 now)!

I'll show those bros the power of a former NEET; I'll easily get straight A's.

I'm 30. Dropped out of college, where I was majoring in Comp Sci. Took a job offer that moved me from West Virginia to DC, and here I am six figures later.

So, if you've dropped out, fear not. Unless you don't have some kind of trade better than flipping burgers... or playing a musical instrument. Either of those and you're screwed.

>>2038384

That's one of the things I'm most worried about when I go back. I feel like I've become even more stupid than I was before.

Also, what excuse will I have for being a freshman at 23?

>>2038393

>>2038384

>>2038404

You were in a coma.

>>2038393
Instead of wasting your time in college, you
could've started working somewhere and earn some
solid cash in the past 7 years.

>>2038404
No one other than yourself will give a shit about your age, don't worry about it bro.

I'm almost dropping out.
I'm tired of that shit

Yes, if you're not in college you're a failure

I'm not in college.
I graduated.
Twice.

Doctorate student. Does that still count?

>>2038418

I was 16 when I first went to college. I got a lot of funny looks.

It's not as if you get a medal for being in college.

What the fuck is wrong with you.

NEET

My sister dropped out of college, I kinda look down on her now because she was given a chance that no one else in our family got and she blew it. I hope she has fun being a secretary while I get my doctorate, though.

Second year physics

>>2038446
I see, your family doesn't consider you a member.

Nope blue collar weeabro here. I didn't have the motivation to go through more school... though looking back I probably should have.

>>2038446
That's sad, really.

>>2038449

Perfectly understandable, too. Nobody wants to be related to a tool.

Its been a while since I was in college. I voluntarily teach during spring and fall. I'm snowed in up on my mountain during the winter and schools closed during the summer.

>>2038451
No.

Trust me, it's not worth it if you really
don't give a shit about studying.

I never planned anything for me to do after high school so I ended up being a NEET up until my parents forced me to either get a job or get out. I got a job, did that for a year and quit. Not soon after my parents were angry with me again, but this time I had a third option.

Community college!

It seemed easy enough. Do some papers, spend no more than four hours a day in class, this will be simple! But, no. I ended up putting off schoolwork, skipping a class every other day, and by the end of the semester I realized that I was going to fail half of my classes; I was far past the point of no return.

My parents were disappointed. Their eldest son; a failure! At least they've left me alone since then; well, that was until the other night. My mother mentioned to me I need to get a job or go back to school.

I can only hope next time will be better. I only wish I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

>>2038449
you should love her anyways you fucking twat

>>2038449

wat

They consider me to be the only one who can be successful and raise a not retarded family like my own was.

>>2038433
Younger gets more attention - but people of all ages go to college (especially in the older rather than younger range) so the older ones don't really matter as it's kind of normal - while a younger than usual kid means, to most people, oh wow that fucker is smart he graduated early!

Which might not be true, but it's more attention grabbing then people who just didn't continue/do college at 18 for 4 years and be done with it.

>>2038470

She's not the tool, he's the tool

>>2038472
>At least they've left me alone since then;
That's because she doesn't expect anything from you anymore.

Got the same situation over here.

Makes me feel like a fucking asshole somewhere.

I'm a NEET until next semester.

Feels boring, man.

>>2038479

I'm sorry, man, but you're really are a tool

>>2038464
more $ = worth it
A 4-year college grads usually make $500k more than high school grads in their lifetime. High school = around 500k, 4-year = around 1mil, masters = around 1.35mil(not sure on this one), Ph.D/doctorate = around 2 mil

college may not add anything to you as a person, but the society sure thinks so.

The people here with family angry at them for no job or poor performance in education should know that it could be a lot worse. I was disowned for marrying my childhood friend.

>>2038470

She abused me as a child, I don't really care anymore. She can live with her dumb decisions.

>>2038477
I meant to link him, not you.

Final year of university, doing my thesis.

>>2038499

>doing my thesis

A cruel one?

>>2038495
doesn't stop you from being a terrible cunt.

>>2038491
If you don't have the motivation it's really fucking difficult to put up with it that long, I think that was his point, rather than 'it has no worth' but that, like he said 'it isnt worth it' if you aren't interested.

>>2038493
Feels bad, man.

Did they force you to a prearranged marriage?

Yes, I am in college.

>>2038493

>I was disowned for marrying my childhood friend.

You really are a tool. The "childhood friend" archetype is the worst. Enjoy your shit.

>>2038517
It's cliché but probably the safest route.

Stop giving him hate, bro.

>>2038507

I'd rather be a cunt who's happy with what he's achieved than live paycheck to paycheck with someone that I don't love like everyone else in the family.

>>2038493
>I was disowned for marrying my childhood friend.
/jp/ would disown you too. See >>2038517

>>2038470
This. My sister has dropped out of college twice and I'm the only one in my family who doesn't look down on her for it. For various reasons she isn't cut out for college (even though she's smart), and at least she tried multiple times to meet the expectations of my parents. She's even thinking of going back for a third time, but I think that she shouldn't force herself if she really doesn't want to.

>>2038384
I studied on my own by pirating e-books! It actually worked, because I did well when I took placement tests last month. I had the same books I'll be using for this semester too.

>>2038415
I did have a job for a few years. I won't say what, though. Low power level jobs are terrible, though.

Also, American ZUN will be usurping power at his local anime club. Look forward to my cool stories, bros.

>>2038511
no my mom just hated her because she was an orphan. She hated her even more after the girl was found insane, and fought me tooth and nail when I tried to get her back out of the asylum.

>>2038521
Out of curiosity, do you have some kind of complex?

>>2038506
Study on the Effects of Pet Disposal in Front of Child Owners
We kill little kid's dogs, and tape the reactions.

Yeah, pretty cruel.

Just kidding, I wish my research topic was that interesting

>>2038537

You missed it, man.

>>2038493
You fucking liar.

Might one of you recommend me a career with decent pay that doesn't require too much manual labor or social interaction? Perhaps a job that allows me to sit in front of a computer all day and enables me to spend most of my time here exists?

>>2038544
I bet your the same one who said that last time I mentioned that.

>>2038526

I'm the only one who does look down on my sister. My parents don't give a shit either way and that's why she did so much stupid shit, because she knew there would be no repercussions either way. I don't believe that blood ties should excuse bad behavior. She's just another idiot to me.

>>2038547
Death usually lets you take it pretty easy, or so I hear.

>>2038542
Cruel Angel Thesis, that too.
It's just that I started to wonder what would be a cruel thesis, Stanford Prison Experiment level like

>>2038547
lab tech in a school works well for me.

>>2038549
i'd look down on your sister WHILE SHE'S BLOWING ME AHAHAHAHA AH A HA HAHAHAHHAHA

ಠ_ಠ

>>2038547

You already have a radio show. And a British maid, you lucky dog.

>>2038534

Napoleonic, probably.

>>2038548

I doubt it, it looks like you pulled your story from a second-rate manga. It's quite hard to swallow.

university.

>>2038566
Sucks to be you, bro.

By college you mean community college right! I'm attending just so my parents don't think I'm too big a failure. They don't think 2 classes a semester is enough though ヽ（゜へ゜）ノ

>>2038556
The problem isn't coming up with the thesis, its getting the approval.

>>2038558
>its quite hard to swallow

THATS WHAT UR MOM SAID XDD

>>2038554

Don't cheat on your waifu ಠɛಠ

>>2038549
It's not about blood relation. Everyone makes bad decisions in their life and you shouldn't hate someone just because they made some mistakes. Obviously I don't know the full details of your situation, but I don't think my sister could do anything that would make me stop loving her.

UCLA bitches!!!!
higher education!

>>2038554

I don't usually appreciate your LOL SO RANDOM (ecks dee) business but I did find that rather amusing.

Please do not do that again, though.

University.
I have a free ride all the way up to my Ph.D.

>>2038573
The CurryButt would never do such a thing!

>>2038548
It probably was me. Let's pretend you're telling the truth here. What's it like bro?

community college , had to apply for financial aid last month ;_;

>>2038583
Wanna be in my "Who is this tier"list?

I'm a freshman at a (relatively decent) State University.

I'm going to transfer to a much better university because I hate it here and the state will pay for most of my education so long as I keep a 3.0 or above GPA. Easy shit.

>>2038493

>I was disowned for marrying my childhood friend.

WTF? I really dont get wats wrong with this. WTF!

>>2038594
ONLY IF I AM INDIAN-CURRY-TIER

>>2038600
I get the lower but still delicious Japanese-Curry tier!

>>2038600
I can't make any promises.

But I can guarantee you would be between
Furukawa Akio and Remilia Scarlet.

in private college and working.

life is good :)

OSUM
lol community college

I am Mapo Curry tier.

>>2038607
>between

I don't think you understand. No one is higher than me. ಠ_ಠ

>>2038547
Libraries are quite nice for that. You can spend all your time in the back room listening to music and pretending to work. Or at least, that's what I did. Late night security guard is another possibility.

>>2038618
Library Sciences degree crew.

Living with a bunch of weaboos in a dorm at a private uni.

Fuck year.

In before underage cancer.

>>2038618

And dealing with the inner city niggers trying to find books to improve theyselfs.

>>2038627
literal cancer, you should see a doctor soon.

>>2038592

What, being married?

>>2038633

Klein: best /jp/ waifu material.

Am I the only NEET on /jp/? Sometimes it really feels that way.

>>2038673
I'm a terrible NEET leech as well. But it's not exactly something to be proud of.

>>2038673
Well assuming that you don't live at home / don't have a job, how to do live?

I've graduated college, now working for a software development company.

I can't tell you how much better working is compared to school. Having all of your responsibilities contained within 9-5 with the rest for whatever the fuck you want. No homework or tests to muddle my free time.

Feels good man.

>>2038673

You're a burger flipper you fuck.

>>2038688
Yeah, can't wait to start getting actual money instead of "potential money" from class.

>>2038688
entry salary was?

>>2038656
Yeah.

>>2038686
Live off the fat of the land.

>>2038723

Not the guy you were asking but it feels good man.

>>2038633
Fuck yeah, library brofist
>>2038629
Working odd hours (early mornings, late nights) lets you avoid pretty much everybody but your coworkers.

>>2038716

$60k

>>2038820
freakin awesome

>>2038688
I'd rather go to school than work, at school you learn new things everyday, at work you do the same shit over and over again also college ain't bad, you have what 16-20 hours of class a week? throw in 10 hours for studying and homework?

Enjoy your college now while you can before you get stuck in a cubicle for the rest of your life.

Fresh out of grad school. Got my Master's. Currently looking for work.
