Keep your chin up guys.
Don't be afraid to apply for jobs you think you might not get either, that's how you escape retail hell.

>mfw all the people on r9k who go on about the wage slave shit are 16-19 and haven't left home yet

enjoy the homeless life boys while i make more than both your parents combined doing work that requires minimal effort

What else should I be doing? It's easy and pays the bills.
Plus I get some sweet benefits like paid vacations. All for putting shit on a shelf and helping old women reach things.

Sounds like my job easy factory entry level job. Been doing it for 15 years, earn over 100k a year (Aus dollars) but wife hates my job and is constantly telling me to get a job where I will use my brain

>>34493619
where you at? and what is this job.

>>34493752

Forklift job, Western Sydney. Do big hours some weeks that's why decent pay. Often 50+ hours on a busy week

>>34492293
>works
>implying

>>34492293
Why? I make 60k a year mostly hanging out with my friends, facing shelves and stocking some goods.

Our latest manager is a cunt though, but he'll be gone in a year.

>>34493967
60k a year? are you a grocery manager or something.

>>34493997
probably australian

>>34493997
nah, just got lucky with some pay raises. i do order the dry goods sections of the store though.
>>34494005
no

>>34494005
Aussies can make that much being stock boys?

>>34494005

Probably Swiss. Minimum full-time salary is 48k.

>>34494040
worse, danish

Inflation, don't fall for the meme.

Close to that amount. But remember to buy a house in Sydney even in a junkie area more than an hour from CBD is 700k or more

Time to get in with the NEET masterrace

>>34495028

centrelink forced me into 'work for the dole' to continue my newstart allowance. So I just ended up getting a proper job instead and quit being a NEET.

How do they survive??

things should not be this way.

>>34495223
They probably make a little more.

>>34495223
>How do they survive??
They have a significant other who pays half the rent / bills

You really need to factor this in.

It's also a real disadvantage for robots looking to buy a home rather than rent one day.
Everyone else has an SO to double their deposit and help with monthly payments.

>>34495370
>tfw working low paid office job and all coworkers have a S/O so can afford to buy a house easily.

It's pretty depressing man

>>34495391
It sucks but we can have some small advantage through frugality.

They also have kids, multiple cars usually and all the social crap that eats money.

We can save a lot easier than they can.

We'll make it one day, it'll just take us longer.

>>34495461
Maybe, maybe, but in terms of rent alone (or a down-payment on a house) - that's hard to deal with as a single guy unless you're in a really financially comfortable position (which I'm not, I'm basically living paycheck to paycheck despite being cautious with money)

>>34495546
My problem actually isn't the deposit, it's getting the income to allow be granted a mortgage for the rest.

I'm living with my parents right now so I can save very easily.

The problem is I need one of those shiny "real" jobs so that the bank won't laugh at me when I ask for a mortgage.

>he isn't working a comfy retail management job earning 60k a year to boss around normie failures

>>34495594
Oh I see - here it's largely based on credit. So if you spend a year or two paying for everything on a credit card (and then paying it off straight away of course) you build enough credit score for the bank to take you seriously.

Another reason I'm not jumping into buying a house is that I don't particularly want to settle down in the area of the country I'm currently living, so I'm thinking just to stick with this job for 2-3 years longer and then look for a better paying job (since I'll have a little experience) elsewhere, somewhere I'd be happy to attempt to buy a house.

It's a long process though and I'm already in my mid 20's. a lot of people my age are a lot further in life than I am and I often feel like I'm stagnating.
