I never wanted a job

Janitorial isn't too bad.... until the place you're working at gets extremely busy on weekends and holidays

It’s hard to be a gamer if you’re broke. Even though I just drifted from job to job I never once slacked off and give it 100%. Until I decided that I needed a real direction somewhat like a straight path and fortunately I did found one. Life may give you lemons from time to time and when that happens give a middle finger and tell ‘em that you’re just a boss that I needed to do some grinding so I can nuke you!

I'm a teacher—I like being a teacher—but I can’t stand the governor of my state. The guy’s a total jerk. He dumps all the responsibility on us and demands urgency in something that takes time: helping young people grow. School’s supposed to prepare you for life, and surprise—nothing actually prepares you 100% for life. Ideally, you get some guidance so you can make good choices and keep pushing forward... at least that’s how it used to be.
Some days, I honestly don’t know what I’m doing, other than wasting time I could be spending with the people I love. I don’t hate being a teacher—but I’m nowhere near loving it every day either.

I'm just struggling to get a single one in the first place. Didn't get one when I was a teenager, didn't know that decision would screw me over. Can't wait for an entry level job.

Im sorry if im off topic or went a little political but I just had to share how I see work. Im realy sorry moderators just give me a warning.

Well I want a job because I need it to survive but honestly I don´t want one. I mean why should I work my ass off only to make enough money to barely survive thanks to everything becoming expensive.

And work my ass off to pay taxes that is supposed to better our country but it does not. Tax money that should improve schools and improve hospitals and more.

Buy NOOOOO they keep closing down schools and hospitals and Nurses and teachers are overworked and underpaid and the police force is understaffed and underpaid and Crime is just increasing exponentially.

So why should I work and pay taxes to barely stay alive when they tax money is not going to better our country ??

And what do people do keep voting for shitty people and then sit and complain on reddit and do jack shit about it.


Honestly FRACK work and TO hell with my country let it burn for all I care.

Let me tell you what I probably among other people who just graduated from high school and is now spending his summer planning out what he’s gonna do else to pass the time all while occasionally having the thought of getting a job pop up in my head feels the same way. I’d like to have a part time Job that I myself would like and show some interest in, like being a baker or artisan which is something I’ve been saying along for past few days.

But the reason it would only be part time is because I plan on finding other ways to make or earn money.

Such as working on and selling future projects and other small things. But with zero to no places available in my area here Florida like small businesses and shops hiring I have a feeling I might set my mind on what would be simply getting started on my own little projects sooner than later.

I gotta be honest here, nobody really wants a "job"
And what I mean by that is, no-one wants a soul crushing, 9-5 nightmare, for shit pay.
If you can find something that you are good at, and truly enjoy, that's the real goal. It's fine to not know what you want out of life. I'm 23, and I have zero idea what I want to do, I've been working odd jobs lately though, and honestly?

It's improved my mood, and I have fun. I think if you go into something with a positive outlook, you can accomplish anything, and feel good about it too. The world is so negative these days, why bother focusing on that when you can create your own positivity. At least until you get put in the middle of crazy drama like me lately, then you want to jump into the middle of the interstate.

Oh boy. Trust me when I say I feel you.

I can only assume the powers that be do it on purpose. Smart, well-educated kids would ask way too many uncomfortable questions. The corrupt establishment can't have that.

There's a saying I love and live by:

"Working is so bad, they have to pay you to do it" xD

I don't hate mine, though.

I'll counter that with

'people are willing to do anything to make money, even go to work'

In all fairness, work wouldn't be so maligned if there was any real hope of 'making it' doing a 9-5. I don't know a single millionaire who worked in a cubicle all their life.

And the issue isn't even becoming a millionaire via working a mundane job. It's the fact that you will never make enough money working. It would be so much easier to accept if we could just work for 20 years and be set for life. Buy a house and foster a family. But nope, now you gotta contend with the fact you won't be able to do jack without taking out a loan. I'm sure you can extrapolate how screwed we are from that.

Thankfully, I have mostly worked in a freelance independent kind of way, mostly on carpentry and other physical jobs in general, I've tried a few office jobs, but I surely can't take the monotony of filling spreadsheets for life.
I enjoy working though, but I demand to fully disconnect from the "job space" after my responsibilities end, in other words "I work to live, I don't live to work".
I tend to live a simple life though a lot of the so called "modern necessities", like smartphones, paid streaming, water closet with ai, etc, I can't care any less for that.

I've had jobs I liked and didn't like, the main way I've found to get through is to always try and make it fun. Sometimes that's harder than it should be, but it makes the shift go by quicker and that's never a bad thing. I was never the kind of person to want a position or title so that I could tell people "I'm a [whatever]" but I know a lot of people get a good feeling from that sort of thing. For me, knowing that you can count on me to show up and do my job, to not need to be micromanaged, and to generally be approachable about things, that's enough for me regardless of the job at the time.

Am I completely misinterpreting this video? It sounds like he's using paragraphs to say, "just stop being depressed."
