My friend did once. When we got into college he joined the Asian frats and became a brah. Always drinking and hounding after girls. How barbaric...

Getting a job doesn't mean you have to completely give up your hobbies.

You find you have alot less time for them. Especially when you get an office job.

People who quit their hobbies have quit living.

I'll have to agree. My full-time job, while shitty, allows me to browse /jp/ at work, but that's the only thing I do now. No VNs, no touhou, only occasional ongoing episode or doujin, and it's not because I can't find time, I'm just not really interested anymore. Or too tired.

>> No.3129081

Being an otaku is like being gay, you don't choose to become one, you simply are one form the start and you realize it as time goes by. You start watching shit like Ranma or YYH with your friends and then, one day, you realize that you are the only one who still likes it.

For a time in my life I had no privacy to enjoy any of my hobbies, everyday was pretty much shit around the house, and it's not like they wanted me around anyway so I went out and applied for a job at the place closest to my house working in the back of the store.

It was better than dealing with my family and I was getting money to buy weeaboo shit anyway.

I still had my hobbies, but I just indulged in them less and less.

When I quit I had all the time in the world to do what I want and now I watch anime, play eroges, and post on /jp/ all day.

I don't see myself dropping any of this.

I've already talked to my parents about this, they're fine with me living at home for the rest of my life. I've got a part time job (<20 hours a week) to buy figures and such and the rest of my times is spent on whatever I want. I love everyday of my life.

>> No.3129120

I work as minimally as I can to support myself. It's easy if you just live simply and don't have a new car or a house payment or children. I could never get a job working 40+ hours a week. My time is more precious than money. Living in my otaku fantasies is WAY superior to anything the outside world can offer, and I have no regrets.

>> No.3129123

Damn you all, I wish I could quit AND not die from hunger.

Yeah, me too. As long as I can pay for food, shelter, electricity, water and internet, I am fine

Under 40 hours and you can support yourself? What do you do?

>> No.3129257

Kinda like me. I however, have a 44h week job (They would not let stay at home without working). However my parents let clear that should I want to have my own family I should look for my own house. Fine by me, It's a win-win business.

For the work however, it takes a huge amount of time from me. But time and then I find a way to slack, like now.

The day I have to give up my beloved hobbies, my LIFE, I will purchase a bag full of guns, a vest and go for the high score.

This former neet can testify it's something of a shock to go from 16 hours of leisure time to something like 5 hours (damn this overtime and commuting!). At least I'm making a lot of money, but currently much of it either goes in my savings pile or to paying off my mortgage quickly. Planning ahead to the day I'm a neet again, lol.
