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

IT is soul crushing but the money is so good. Some companies pay upwards of 200,000/yr, i almost want to apply work there for a year or so, and fuck off to some third world country after

IT is soul crushing and the money is good. You still run into nearly everyone being a complete moron and about ~10% of the people you work with actually do a good job. The rest are just collecting a larger than earned paycheck and they think they are the king of the land.

Work shit jobs for a while, then find a way to self-employ and tell the rest to piss off.

Can confirm. I work in IT, and it is soul crushing. I make ~80k salary, but I hate my job. Will find an out as soon as I can.

Good Luck. Hope you can find something that works out for you. Try not to let it get you down too much.

People suck. Accepting that makes it easier.
