Just stand your ground. Don’t play to the American customer service smile cuck. Work with dignity. I’m guessing you HAD TO get this job, so do it with confidence, no matter what it is. No matter what you’re doing they can’t take what matters most away from you unless you let them. Your there to do a job, to to pamper people’s egos. Clock in, work hard, clock out. As far as reading material goes I like Napoleon Hill, he’s a good cheerleader through economic affirmative action.

It's better to pursue your passion and interests while having the reliability of a job. Lots of authors did this so don't be so demotivated by work.

Having a job puts you miles ahead on the sexual market, being a gross NEET basically guarantees permanent virginity.

You should just continue to be a neet until the depression becomes too great and you kill yourself. We must remove all sub-par genes from our gene pool, and that includes the mentally inept like yourself OP. Last thing we would want is for you to procreate and deliver us a new generation of whiney faggots.

Don't you Euros have small business opportunities or do you need a loicense for everything? I caulk driveways, pools, sidewalks, etc. and make anywhere from $300-700 per day solo after expenses. I just have insurance, a small website, and a bunch of business cards. Most of my work consists of sweet talking boomers into doing mostly aesthetic shit. I don't work when it rains and during winter but I'm always busy when it's warm. If you're a NEET in the burgerpunk dystopia, just buy some tools, pick something you can learn and do fast, and then you'll make it.

I don't know, and don't even care. I will be moving to the UK in September anyway, so I have no time to start a business of my own, not that I have any interest in doing so anyway.

>> No.13498831

>>13498771
you can't do that without paying taxes / having a small business registered. also remember that europe, especially germany is extremely dense populated, you can get services like that everywhere. in the city where i live there's a street with bulgarian men standing at the side of the street, looking to be picked up for manual labor day jobs. my dad used to hire some of them, they actually did good work. i couldn't imagine that it's possible to make money that easy.

and that aside i'm also fucking retarded, even if i would somehow manage to get someone to let me repair his driveway, i wouldn't be able to do anything but harm to it

hell i don't even know what "repairing a driveway" could mean. oh, and sidewalks are public property here. and nobody has pools.
