>how do I get it
you find a telephone survey call center in your area, apply, and when they call you in, they'll have you read from a piece of paper. If you can read clearly enough, it's yours, as long as you pass the background check
It's low standards for a reason. They have to take who they can get because the job is suicide inducing.

Tolerable, since my office is super laid back. Jeans and a hoody everyday. Come in at 10, so no traffic.

Get a computer science or computer engineering degree from a respectable school. Then be able to hold a conversation during an interview. "Cultural fit" is weighted more heavily than technical ability pretty much everywhere.

>how bad is it
Pretty bad. I make about 35k a year, and get shitty, unending work all summer. But I got a job for 2 years, and am good at it now. So I'm not gonna quit for anything else because the job market is shit.
>how do I get it
Be good at basic math. Be willing to do shitty dirty work in 110F attics, deal with greedy jewish customers who you can't tell to fuck off, angry bosses who will call you a dumbass when you fuck up, be able to be a salesman.

I suck at the salesman part, being a robot. It's still a robot-friendly job. Service techs work alone. Most jobs, I introduce myself, ask what's wrong, then don't have to talk to anyone til the end and give them the bill, and ask em do they want it fixed. Only have to talk to boss and coworkers once a week at meeting.

Landlord. I own real estate property. I hired a real estate management company to manage them. I sit on my ass, play guitar and watch pirated japanese cartoon shows most of my days. Each month money about twice what I need to live a comfy life gets deposited in my bank account.

I got that money by selling shit on ebay. I swallowed my pride and worked with my asshole father who no one gets along with for about ten years. He procured products to sell using his years of experience as a purchasing guy, and I sold the shit online using my experience from selling shit online. When business was good, I set money aside and bought real estate instead of iphones or going to fucking europe for vacations or whatever the fuck normie roastie types want you to do.

I may or may not have also worked with a goetic demon to ensure business success.
>>
>>35869599
Oh, didn't answer how do i get it. Some community colleges have a 2 year degree for it. I got one. Some bosses will hire you with no degree and are willing to train you. The job is shitty, and it's hard finding people to do it. Some aren't picky on who they hire.

It's fast food, it's exactly what you'd expect. I don't hate it enough to quit though and the hours are flexible if nothing else. My oneitis also works there and I have no motivation to quit while she's still there.
>how do I get it
Just b urself and give the manager a firm handshake. Or stumble into a mass group interview at the right time and place and give an answer the interviewer likes. It's not one on one so you have a much lower chance of spilling your spaghetti.

I'm still undergoing the background check for it. From what I hear it's a lot like being a security guard except you'll also be interacting with people a lot.

Yeah, working with my high strung, anal father with the explosive temper was very stressful and bad for my health. The fact that he used to get violent with his kids made his temper tantrums all the worse for me to deal with even as an adult. Combine that with the shit from running a small business, and it was a borderline hellish experience for me.

We were never forced to exercise as children and we ate super excessive amounts of ultra processed food that was completely lacking in nutrition, so we developed poorly, fragile and weak as hell. Also, we absorbed tons of xenoestrogens from our food supply, liquid contained in plastic bottles, shampoo, etc that made us weaker and less complete men, both physically and mentally. Also we were drugged and that probably contributed to it.

Not that bad actually, compared to private treework companies we are treated like kings. But in general the work isn't grueling and spend all day outside, which can be a blessing or a curse. The only bad days I've had is when there is nothing to do so they find random shit for you to do like weeding, actually want to kill myself at the thought.

Be self-loathing enough to keep wanting to make your work better, professional enough to deal with clients, fun and charismatic enough to make people want to have you on set, and study lighting, lenses, cameras, physics, and theoretical lighting math stuff like your life fucking depends on it. After that, you need to be in the right place, lots of luck, lots of hard headed determination, and lots and lots of crying yourself to sleep thinking you'll never make it. When I was 16 I had a gun against my head and told myself if I ever stopped trying my goddamn hardest to work on movies and make myself happy in that regard, then I would kill myself.

20 now, worked pretty well because I know I meant it.

So yeah. That. My parents spent a lot of my childhood telling me it wasn't a real job, it would never happen, that I should be a lawyer, that I would have to work in a burger king until I finished college, etc. Fucked my self esteem, but boosted the absolute shit out of my spite-meter.
