>a month out of college
>thinks he's a NEET

Try 4 years out of college bro. I have a worthless degree too. At least my family takes pity on me

>majored in Japanese
what..?

>>4275562

I have a BA in Japanese and a minor in Asian Studies.

mention it in a non-specific way, volunteer type thing and sure go for it

>>4275540
NEET= Not in Employment, Education or Training.
He's a NEET. Not a hikki, but a NEET.

>>4275530
>I graduated college and I'm still a fucking NEET living at home.

protip: Doing nothing but still going to college doesn't make you a NEET since you are still doing something.

>>4275595
He's a NEET. He's OUT of college, now.

of course it's good enough, experience is experience. Atlus has an opening

>>4275595
But he isn't going to college.
He says he graduated.

>>4275600
Yeah, for a whole fucking month. Big deal.

>>4275580
>>4275607
>>4275600

Being a month out of college doesn't give you any NEET cred. Try again later.

>>4275530
> the stuff I've translated
What? Eroge and eromanga?

>>4275612
But he is, technically.
You're thinking of hikkis or something.

>>4275612
Just because it's only been a month doesn't change the fact that he is a NEET.

"Cred" ? Stop this.

>>4275611

Not really, that's too long so I do game manuals and stuff.

>>4275618
>>4275612
Is there some set time period to become a NEET? As long as you ain't employed or studyinig you're legit.

>>4275622
No. It's like someone saying out of the blue "I'm gay!", following your argument he would be technically gay, but he may be not, thus need to "prove" that hes gay by actually BEING gay for some time.

>>4275629

You're just frustrated since I am exerting my style over you.

Come back once you get some real NEET cred. 'til then you're just a poser.

Yes, you can put volunteer stuff on your resumes. Make sure to put it under the header "Volunteer Projects" or something, so they don't think that you simply weren't being paid. You should still be able to hit up your college and talk to their career center to help you build a half-decent resume.

>>4275646
What?
He has no job, and he's not in training, and he's not studying.
That makes him a NEET.

>>4275658
He's looking for a job. Not NEET.

>>4275667
Enjoy being a retard.

>>4275530
Hello OP.
Let me direct you to this thread >>4275042

Maybe something can be worked out between you guys.

Everyone is NEET on Sundays.

>>4275673
Enjoy not following official government classification criteria.

NEET: Not in Employment, Education or Training.

Not in employment, education or training?

You're a fucking NEET. It's not a disease, don't worry. Enjoy this slow descent into the depths of hell.

>>4275673

>enjoy being retarded
>/jp/

Poor lifestyle choices are the hallmark of /jp/.

>>4275681
Being a NEET is good.

>>4275656
Let's not get into this stupid argument over who's a bigger failure, okay?

He may not be as much a failure as you, but does it change the fact that at this point in his life he is on the same road to being a loser as you are? Just because you're a few miles ahead of him does not change that fact that he walks the same road.

>>4275696

OP here.

It fucking sucks dude. I have no money to buy what I want or hang out with friends. So fuck you if you think it's cool, and your parents must be rich and give you money.

nursery. always needed, do that.

>>4275718

Maybe Kobato will be there!?

>>4275708
But NEETs aren't walking a road. They're sitting at the side of it and watching the clouds.

>>4275709
My parents are not rich.

The thing is that I don't give a fuck about a "normal life" like hanging out with friends and bullshit like that.

The only things I need to buy are cheap, I don't care for expensive crap.

I don't have to worry about anything, so is perfect to think about things I would not if I was too busy working or studying.

If you don't like it then why do you waste your time coming to /jp/ posting this load of shit instead of being out there doing something that is "worth" living for?

>>4275612
I've been a NEET since I graduated in June last year. Does this give me cred?

>>4275731
no, but nanase ren.

>>4275746

Have you been looking for a job during that time?

>>4275722
Yeah, yeah. NEETs are lazy fellas, I get it.
So he's sleeping a few miles ahead of OP.
If op continues like this he'll eventually roll himself over there in his sleep.

>>4275771
No, no, he's stumbling around in the middle of the road trying to find some other idiots to walk with... and asking the guys at the side of the road for advice. What don't you understand?

An entire generation has been poisoned by lies:
"Do what interests you."
"Follow your heart."
"Women's studies!"
And upon graduation, cold reality slaps us in the face. If you didn't major in mathematics, business, or a science, then do yourself a favor and go to law/graduate school to make yourself worthwhile to employers. As things stand, the only thing you're good for is checking out my order at Barnes and Noble.

>>4275865
your logic only applies to those that want to be "in" the society. Those who don't care at all will never get a punch in the face of the motherfucking reality

>>4275876
And unless they have kind parents (as many /jp/ posters seem to have) they will live cold, impoverished lives.

>>4275888
You're forgetting about the government, hon.

What is the source of OPs picture?

>>4275888
Hmm I have to disagree. One can have a "shitty" job that gives him just some money to eat and buy some things and still be happy about it. Or should I say: Not happy, but he wouldn't be sad about it either.

But of course, that only applies to those that don't have a closed mind.

>>4275904
Most of us don't live in Western Europe.

Don't give up OP
go work for JET and get your foot in the door in Japan
its as simple as that

>>4275876
And they'll realize, in their deathbeds, that this was their real lives and that they wasted them.

>>4275876
Thats just an excuse of people who got punched in the face of reality, and got knocked out cold.

OP, if you're willing to translate stuff like eroge, then do a commissions based scheme.

first, translate a few doujins that you like and post em, this is basically saying "this is the quality of my translation work, have a look"

then have a comissions thing, like 50c a page, they supply the raws, or something.

its not much, but its a start.
if you want long term employment, then probably dont go the way of eroge, unless you're looking for employment from someone like mangagamer.

volunteer at comunity classes teaching Japanese if you hit the bottom of the barrel, because that will set you ahead once you look for a job again.

yeah, thats all the advice i can give right now, its 6am and i got to sort out a bunch of uni shit.

>>4275926
But before that, they get their ass handed to them in mahjong...

>>4275923
yeah, and get totally sad after seeing some reality.

>>4275906

Eden of the East

>>4275936

You mean rock paper scissors?

>>4275926
>>4275928
That's just opinions. If both of you think someone would "waste" it's life by not "facing" reality or not "entering" it it's just a point of view.

As for >>4275876 , that is too just a point of view.

Things like "enjoying life" or anything like that don't have a description, it can't have one.

>>4275951
>>4275936

E-Card is superior.

>>4275965
of course it has a description.

i think you mean to say that it does not have a set of parameters that one must follow.

>>4275976
Yes, that's what I meant. Thanks

>>4275530
I have KDE 4 and Amarok coding contrbtuions visibly put on my CV, so yes.

move to Europe as at least Finland has almost zero possibilities to educate yourself in Japanese outside one university. start a freelance translator/advice/educational career here.

I'd attend your evening classes. :3

>>4275923

I was actually rejected an interview from JET. Everyone I know on the eastcoast who signed up didn't even get to an interview while everyone I know out west and south got one.

>>4275928

I don't think any community colleges around me are interested in Japanese though. Don't you need a teaching degree or something anyway?

And here I was, thinking of majoring in Japanese...

>>4276019

The problem with majoring in a language is it's not guaranteed you've learned anything by the time you get your degree. Least I was like that. My college didn't know how to teach Japanese at all. Then I discovered AJATT.

>>4276030

Any advices?

Am I the only person who enjoyed Eden of the East ?

>>4276010
>Everyone I know on the eastcoast who signed up didn't even get to an interview while everyone I know out west and south got one.
I know that feeling all too well bro, keep plugging away, I think there are a few other programs like that out there.

>>4276039

Read AJATT basically. Buy Genki 1, 2 and Intermediate Japanese textbooks for firm grammar base. Use Anki to grind vocab memorization, and sentence repetitions. Of course this is just to be able to read and speak.

>>4275931

Eastern reality. Then after that's done, he'll get hit with some western reality.

>>4276053
I thought it was ok.

>>4276053

First episode great but then it got lame. I honestly thought it would be better than what it was. I can't believe this is the best Japan has to offer nowadays that isn't moe garbage.

>>4276167
First episode really was the best but I still liked the rest of the episodes.

>>4276167
>this is the best Japan has to offer nowadays
I disagree with this, there are other shows out there.

>>4276204
You should write me a list of recommendations. I've been too busy playing games to watch anime.

>>4275998
GNOME and Exaile were here. You are smalltime.

>>4275965

>That's just opinions (>>4275926)

That's actually some kind of quote from Kaiji, dude.

>>4276443
That show was pretty awesome.

>>4276233
I haven't been watching much either, but I would recommend the Denpa Teki na Kanojo OVA if you haven't already been watching it.

>>4276236
enjoy your knowledge of pretty much obsolete tech, faggot
