I'm not unemployed or anything, but today i went to go volunteer at habitat/restore. I wasn't super chatty, i just took the tasks they gave me, finished said tasks as best I could, didn't chat too much with the other people, and kept to myself. Literally i spent 2-3 hours volunteering, and the manager woman offered me a job as a truck driver getting items from customers, a paying job too.

This whole hurr durr i cant find a job is complete bullshit, most kids today are just completely lazy fucks. Was the job offer glamorous? Fuck no, its a truck driver position. But it also means some extra income on the side, and its under the table too, so yeah, really nice. But, it's a job, and it pays, and i get to see if i like the truck driving job before i commit full time to it. I completely do NOT expect this job to sustain me, its just a fun thing to do on the side.

But i guess, its becoming so rare to find non idiots who actually do a job without using their job as the gossip room, so when you see someone actually doing their job, it comes off as shocking or something. They expect their job to hand them a 6 figure salary with full benefits for doing a bottom of the barrel job

Good money in it. I make 90,000/yr doing it and could make more but this job fits my situation. The best part of having a CDL is you can have a good paying job tomorrow. They don't hire you. You hire the company. They need you. I'm not sure why OP thinks driving trucks is bottom of the barrel.

Absolutely. If you're a diesel mechanic you already know more than half of these clowns on the road.

I know my way around a W123 if you know what I mean. No trucks, but close enough I suppose.
