I never wanted a job

What about you?

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.

 

[J.B’s rabbit den]

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.

 

[Skeetos]

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.

 

[Grumpy_Old_Man]

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.

 

[bjork]

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.

 

[SLEDGE_DOG]

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

 

[Soul417]

Simply put, I grew up with not the best hand, so I became goal-driven. To distract myself from the bad in my life, I would make up stories of fake characters to pass the time. I enjoy story telling but knowing being a writer doesn't always pay the bills right away I realized I need something to build funds for the fun Adventures.

Because of that, in middle school, I realized I find college bullshit, so instead of going to a normal High School, I went to a High School College, where I did them both at the same time since free ride cause I wasn't going if I had to pay. I got a degree in Digital Media and Design, but I have some regrets about it. But I wouldn't have met the people I'm close to otherwise, so it worked out.
Program was run like dogshit and probs going to go under any day so got the degree while the getting was good. It was so stressful, I still get nose bleeds from those stressful days
My regret about it is that I should have gone for a medical degree.

As soon was able to work I started to at a Trading Card shop that paid like shit but loved being there till it closed then now am stuck working retail which is a box of dicks for a couple years.
I try to work on personal projects when I can, but I always had a plan B, which for me has been to go back to school for psychology to become a psychologist. But that shit cost money, but luck was on my side since the shortage in medical stuff made doors open for me, so I know I'm going back to classes to get a license to do blood work and EKGs for free. I hope to work as one of those guys who take blood samples for a couple of years to build funds, then go back to school for psychology, since I always had a passion for the way the mind works.

So I'll say my plan B stuff is going well, but for my plan A stuff, being a writer, I need to work harder. I've got a book with only 25ish pages done that I need to get off my ass and work on more. I also have a short VN Script that is mostly done, but I need to manage the artist better as the lead, get off my ass, and improve my own coding skills.

All this grinding in hopes that one day I can get a break without having to worry.

Sorry if this was too long-winded a reply. I'm a yapper.

Good luck for sure hopefully you have it

I want a job
I'm tired of being unemployed
And I'm definitely tired of rejection letters
I didn't spend 5 years in college to stay unemployed
Damn that felt like a rant
Anyways if anyone have a job for me do tell I'm desperate

 

[Sumea]

"well, whatever, I die in the end anyway" has a big grip on me. Whatever I tried I failed with thanks to social reasons or just not being good at it. Age has started pressing me, my ability to learn new things and recall once known skills keeps getting weaker. I do not feel hope if I even feel much in general. I do know having the wrong job or school with the wrong people, again, would be worse than just not, demotivating more. The things I enjoyed doing as short stint are not actual careers but stuff given subsidized to people with long record of nothing. Enjoyment from doing stuff has diminished gradually to the bottom over a decade. Not just jobs but video games and so on. All I had was a psychosis that made me have 200% aware of death and my death, from wake to to trying to sleep. Time is ticking and has already trickled decades. While I had some kind of "Oh shit I got to do something with myself or just die like this", I actually got nothing lasting from it and ended up worse mentally. Been just more numb after a lot of medication made that one fade away. Being not so fond of world and yourself are very poor pools of energy for motivational grab the bull by the horns and go forth to your destiny type of stuff.

Working at a thrift store can be rough. Especially when dealing with customers who like to be dicks.

 

[Retro Doomer]

I don't even think I am physically able to Work with my current Health,and besides I don't really plan on becoming a Minimum Wage slave either just to pay fucking high Taxes and Inflated Prices,while making my health worse in a Job I hate,sure it sucks to be poor and never go on vacation or buy Expensive stuff but I could not afford that even with a Job as I don't have a Diploma or some snobbish Title to apply for a high paying Job,and besides I don't have a driver License and neither the Nerve nor Money to pay for one as its super expensive in Germoney.So I would be forced to use the Shitty Public Transport System that is abysmal and unsafe just to get yelled at by a Boss for coming to late,so no thanks

 

[_Lorenzo_]

This creator’s testimony is very clear-headed and, if anything, brutally honest... In many ways, I saw myself in it. Work itself is definitely a great form of therapy, regardless of what we’ve chosen to do in life (or what was forced upon us), as long as we set goals to achieve.
What truly ruins our lives is the judgment of others, which in some cases makes us doubt our actual abilities. That’s the real enemy to defeat: the key to everything, as this guy points out, lies in doing what makes us proud of ourselves; that’s how we regain our dignity and our joy of living...

Damn bro hope you get well for whatever health problem you dealing with ,try finding a job where you like what you doing and maybe it won't be job anymore haha,I'm actually learning Deutsch to apply for German jobs ,that's how desperate I am ,btw why the hell do y'all mash words together

Its a German Thing its when we Combine Words together to make a New Word,like Panzerkraftwagen made out of the Words Panzer,Kraft,Wagen meaning Tank,Power,Car ? not direct translation.Its actually quite useful to create new words and Its easier to pronounce than it looks.And I doubt that I even would get a Job as most even the shitty once have a high requirement and than there are the Taxes as the Maximum Income tax is about 45% of once Income.And that is not counted for the Hidden Taxes like the once in our Food/Gasoline/Clothes and so on pretty much everywhere is another Tax hidden in the Price.

 

[TheWanderer]

Yeah but it's kind a funny ,like plane for example is Flugzeug
Literally "flying thing" ,like I can just imagine who is the lazy ahh tht came up with this

45% of once Income

Damn that's brutal ,I'm not well versed in tax stuff tbh but 45% sounds very bad
