There is nothing to cope. Wagie life is fucking shit. Try to get on NEETbux and feel no shame.

Literally and unironically just cope and you’ll be fine. Also law is a very lit career so just take pleasure in knowing you haven’t given up the literary lifestyle.

Being a NEET doesn’t make you happy. Trust me. I did it for years and it was the most miserable I’ve ever been in my life. I’m surprised I didn’t kill myself to be honest. Now I’m finally back in school while working two jobs and studying, reading on my free time.

At least you understand your situation at your age while you still have a chance to take classes conducive to law and develop your verbal skills and disingenuously achieve a top GPA by avoiding difficult classes etc. You should double major in econ and philosophy and pick up logic courses alongside your primary fare of reading and essaywriting.

I'm in the same boat as you except that I'm five years older and have a mediocre GPA in a worthless subject doing work completely unrelated to it. Essentially, I have to prepare well enough for the LSAT while working full time to get a perfect score if I'm going to get a good school and/or good scholarship.

On that note, consider taking a gap year for the LSAT. I know several people who were much higher achievers than me in terms of grade point who got into shit schools because they got shit LSAT scores because they rushed it while in school. Your performance on this several hour test will be weighed just as heavily as the strong GPA you'll painstakingly eke out over the next four years.

If you ever start considering a career in academia, read Anatomy of Melancholy to cure yourself of it.

I especially mean the sections on quality of education and the misery of scholars in the middle of the First Partition. Academia has had all of its current problems for at least four hundred years. Thoreau implies the same in Walden, nearly two hundred years ago. If all else fails, research professor salaries, read up on the extreme competitiveness of weaseling your way into a professorship at an actually good school, and familiarize yourself with the increasingly common possibility of becoming stranded in adjuncthood.

Law, paradoxically, not only pays better than academia, but is also easier to get into. Not to mention that most academics are sophists vomiting out whatever speech-acts are necessary to retain their positions (including lying to students that learning their given discipline will lead to gainful employment) so if you're going to be dishonest, you may as well be honest about being dishonest.

NEETdom is a double edged sword. Easier to self-actualize as a NEET compared to a wagecuck, but also easier to sink into deep ruts, sometimes so deep you can barely even be called human anymore.
