How do you guys cope with this shit?
Fell for the STEM meme and dropped out, wanted to do medicine or finance
dude weed lmao
I have a hobby
Is that Paul Skallas?
Having a family, friends, and remaining active in my community. You aren't miserable because you have a crappy job. You're miserable because your life is out of balance. You are disconnected from life. People were not meant to live that way.
I pretty much see how little i can do at work
Learn to code and freelance from home with your comfy laptop. I recommend web development. It can be daunting if you’re a slow learning mongoloid but trust me it’s doable and if you work at it you will be able to pick and choose projects, work while you travel and ultimately make good money while being your own boss.
Don’t listen to these wageniggers telling you it’s the only way.
Fuck off the the woods then, loser. Live like a hunter gatherer. Maybe then you'll be happy.
Dude just be yourself, look your boss in the eyes and give him a firm handshake
>how cope
I fell for the STEM meme but didn't quit when the going got tough, I gave it hell.
What I do at work, is exactly what I would be doing if I were fired tomorrow and had to either find another gig to make money, or go it on my own and try to find a tricky trick to make money. Liking something difficult so much that work is play, is how you get so good at something that you can ask for as much money as you want and get it.
Are you being the tragic story of what JP is explaining here? The tragic story of the man-child that gets old but doesn't grow up?

The meaning of life is pic related. Find what you love, go for it 100 percent, get fat stacks, and one of these will jump on your cock. Repeat as necessary until we recreate the universe in our own image and start the cycle all over again.
You're gonna die soon, so it's going to be okay.
Also, connecting with your father will help you immensely.
I was disowned from my family after the college fiasco, which also means I can never have a normal marriage.
No
Move into a tiny cheap apartment
Get a low-wage, low-stress job like stocking shelves at the supermarket
Work no more than 40 hours a week
Live very frugally
Spend free time doing interesting things like posting on Yas Forums
Call it a life
How do I deal with it? I worked hard for 10 years, bought a house and car with zero debt. Now all I worry about is property tax and bills, which arent all that much. Granted I'm single so that also keeps costs under 150 bucks a month, 230 if you include groceries.

>STEM meme
Why is it a meme when they are statistically better paid than most
Low-effort cop-out response. Depends on insulting the intelligence of the receiver. It's the same every time.
That ship has set sail.
>for the STEM meme and dropped out
Playing video games and watching anime all day result in failure... who would have guessed?
Used to be like you.
>learned mandarin Chinese
>got a cake translating job
>No software comes remotely close to replacing a human.
Jesus dude what are you an 11 yo girl your life goals revolve around a wedding dream?
Kek no that ship has not sailed. Learn basic front end shit and put yourself out there. If you are a western english speaker and you are capable of basic social interaction there is no shortage of projects looking for developers.
Daily reminder - STEM education is a myth. You need at least a minor in a subject like business or finance to get a decent STEM job.
The frontier days of that job are gone as well, you need an English degree as well as Mandarin, most of the contracts suck and don't pay as well as you're led to believe when you include time, travel, etc.
Here's a good perspective:
youtube.com
If you can read between the lines, he's also doing it to make videos for youtube, which means he's trying to monetize and supplement his income.
post them then, with low barrier of entry
do shit outside of work dummy
da fuck dey teach u at the smart buildin dey caal corege
Stop doing the safe shit to survive.
You have to double down on your strengths/interests. Being a soulless coping wagie isn't defensible in this era where you can't afford even afford a home and family to give your life some vicarious meaning.
Hey, I want to believe you.
Can you please elaborate with specific examples?
*sip*
>Pushing jordan peterson lectures from 3 years ago
No thanks breh, I don't take advice from guys who fall into comas
It's a meme when you aren't good at it.
Idek what you're sipping on user
This fag took the sweat pledge

This dude is an ESFP or ESFJ
I earn 4x the french minimum wage so I only work 14 hours/week and collect gibs. Like this, I'm entitled to everything and don't have to pay income taxes. If I ever need extra money, I work 5 days a week until I have enough money then go back to 14h/w.
Kek no. If you want proof, make a fake account on any freelancer site
>Not doing appiled math or civil engineering
Never gonna make it
Dude please elaborate. I’m in a bit of a good crisis where I have a knot of money from wage slaving. I’m ready to turn a new leaf.
My whole life I’ve lied and told pol what I want they wanted to hear. It got me where I am today (middle class, utterly miserable, with some savings).
Bruh Blumpf is about to import 300 trillion pajeets into the west to replace tech jobs with his Visa program, its over
beer.
outside of that, start killing
SO plentiful, but you can't post examples. Wreaks of bullshit, like I said.
STEM isn't a meme if you are intelligent and committed... of course you need to be business and socially savvy as well if you want to be more than a STEMcuck
Thanks for nothing then you bullshitting little cocksucker.
I’ll figure it out anyway without the thirty minutes of Googling a decent answer to my question would’ve saved me.
Having a crappy job makes you miserable even with family and friends
user... those titties...
>I camed
>Fall for stem meme
You never did shit. You dropped out because you're a lazy, dumb fuck.
What a fucking faggot that slave is
yo stfu leaf
you aren't wrong but you are still a syrupnigger
Too many STEM grads
There are chemist positions in my area requiring chemistry BS but paying $16/hr and 90% of the work is lifting 45 lb sacks, 10% lab tests. other labs are paying the same people $14/hr. I just applied to be their supervisor. I think it'll only pay $20/hr. I was a research scientist who got lucky I supposed and got to $63k/year after multiple raises (pretty cheap area too, nothing like a big city) but have just been laid off.
Im not lazy, fuckface. I work 60 hrs a week as an electrician.
>meanwhile on Bloomberg world
Infrastructure simply isn't there. Factories left in search of cheaper labor. STEM has left America long ago, we also imported cheaper STEM'ers. Can't beat the price of a pajeet who can do the same work, but used to shit in the street.
The truth is all that waging is shit. You don't even want a work life balance. You just need to make as much as possible to retire as early as possible.
I can just hire a hooker.
What it really means is GTFO while you can because the system no longer works for you. Have as little involvement as possible, which ends up being the balance that you're looking for.
>Just worship an egregore then u will be happy
lol
>connecting with a man who doesn't know struggle because he had the world handed to him simply by sheer luck of being born at the right time will help you immensely as he daily berates you for not having the same amount of wealth that he has for three times the work and half the pay all the while blaming you for it while his generation closed doors behind them and put licensure and insurance barriers in the way, thwarting competition from future comeuppance of youth. Meanwhile voting lying politicians into office who legislated away your wealth and opportunities before you even had a chance.
He's the reason you're poor. But he got his, so fuck you.
This is probably the correct answer. See also Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
STEM isn’t a meme unless your intelligence is a meme
>That ship has set sail.
The expression is “that ship has sailed.”
Dude Adderall
Well at least i dont feel so bad now. I made it through my first 4 years of college working on the side while going for an engineering major debt free. When i found out i needed another few years to specialize and it would set me back 40-50k in student loans i bailed and went the retail route. Currently working for $16 an hour and ive turned the department im working in from making 7k profit a year to 83k due to hard work. Im a shoe in to get a dollar raise next evaluation and i could get a promotion but i really dont want to work 50 hours a week which is the minimum for managers.

Imagine being such a fucking boomer.
>Repeat as necessary until we recreate the universe in our own image and start the cycle all over again.
Delusional boomer.
I work a shit but easy as fuck job and use the downtime(roughly 85% of my total day) to work on my hobbies/other career pursuits. I just finished learning the basics in Python and am now working on a portfolio to get hired.
Never give up user. We’re gonna make it
Is engineering really that big of a meme?
40-60% of your income goes straight to minorities, single mothers, boomers, Marxist college students and foreign wars.
It's the biggest fucking meme there is.
