Sit at home and attend class three times a week, try to not go insane with boredom (I need a job).

>>52601556
Sounds geeat actually, enjoy it while you can.

>>52602054
Dude, I'm bored after only like a week and the boredom only makes me more and more sad. My only hope is I either get a part time job or my classes pickup and I have little free time.

I just put in an application for a library assistant.
Can't be any worse than my current job.

C#, C++, C, SQL, Matlab, HTML/CSS/JavaScript/TypeScript (but I'm not going to work as a web dev or a front end monkey in general).
>what is your job/occupation
Full time student (3rd year CS), part time programmer.
>how much you earn
Like $7/hour ($6 after tax), and an additional $130 per month from scholarship. Sucks living in Eastern Europe, but that amount of money is actually quite a lot (for example renting a small, but nice flat would cost like $300 per month). And considering that uni is free here (well, the public universities are, but they are actually better than private ones), and that I live with my parents (uni is like 20 minutes away on foot from here, so no reason to move out), so I get to keep everything I earn, it's pretty good.
>what you actually do
At work it's mainly SQL and C++ (modifying an ancient application). When I'm home, I usually have to study, and I rarely have more than an hour of free time (and sometimes I need to stay up for a few nights in a row), so all the private projects I was working on before I started working are indefinitely stalled. Shit sucks and I often hate my life, but looking at it more objectively, I'm pretty well off. So now my private life is basically dead, but by the time I'm done with MSc, I'll already have some money saved for an apartment, and like 2.5 years of work experience, so I guess it might be worth it.

Customer service as well as general technical skills. I'm also a pretty good learner and I've got a good ability which teaching less technically inclined people about technology.

>>what is your job/occupation

CST for ISM.

>>how much you earn

30 bucks an hour, 74 hours a pay check, then 20 hours OT at 60 bucks an hour.

>>what you actually do

I troubleshoot immediate software issues for call in clients. Usually this is more so building confidence with the client or calming the clients worries or stress.

I fell for that meme about how if you go to college and get good grades then you get a diploma that's a ticket for one free job. So I did that but I didn't get any internships or a "network", so I found out after I graduated that nobody wanted me. So I've been a neet for three years and probably no longer know anything worth knowing.

>>52602643
That doesn't work anymore, actually. Both because there's a shortage of helium and because of media reports of people using exit bags, commercial balloon-filler helium tanks now have oxygen added.

Former NEET, now doing some freelance webdev.

I'm reworking the experience part of my CV (it's limited unfortunately), but here are my skills.

Would appreciate any thoughts on my employability based given these skills and very limited experience.

Two 2d gaymen with SFML. Both are basically functional except for no menus, no AI, shitty physics and unfinished multiplayer (I actually am going to finish them sometime, since I had lots of fun programming them). Though it's a lot of hassle, since I opted to implement basically everything myself, using only the basic tools SFML provides.

You just need drive, and willpower. Internship does not guarantee a job. Network is building by advertising and spreading your name.

To build a network you need to join college events, talk to your friend/teachers/career advisors, and join a community. If you would were to go to hackathons, github,meetups, career fairs in frequently basis. You will eventually spread you name, and build your resume. Add all of those projects, awards from competition, and recommends from your community you will eventually find something.

>>52600357
Nice job tacitly admitting that your time is worth nothing.

>what you actually do
wake up at 4AM so I can make it to the factory and be on the line at 6. Usually just superglue gaskets in place, maybe run some automated LabView tests for 8 hours straight, minus the federally-mandated break periods. Kind of a waste of my skill set, but it's good motivation to actually finish up collage and get that fancy piece of paper.


The thing that got me motivated to apply and shit and keeps me going actually was some previous career thread where some dude was talking about how he washes dishes/waiter shit for $10/hr and how he hates his life.
