Manual labor fucking sucks
>>
>>84368063

Yes, i'm 23 and dont know what to do with my life, i recently graduated and i'm working a shitty job and i dont know what career i should do, i dont want a crappy job that i'll hate into my 40s.
>>
>>84368096
that is the flaw of the movie, but in the original version the foreman was gonna come up to Peter and Lawrence and give them a hard time, to drive the point home that work sucks no matter what you do. The suits cut that scene out, but you can see the foreman walking up to them as the camera crane pulls up when the scene is ending.
>>
>>84368063
Yep, quit my job two years ago. Just didn't go looking for another. Got some sweet disability checks for major depression. I gave up now just hoping I die in my sleep.
>>
>>84368146
But at the end Peter was clearly happy with doing construction
>>
>>84368063
yes. from 2004 to 2011, people called me Peter
>>
>>84368214
Yes but that's before the foreman comes over and acts like a dick, thus perpetuating the cycle that work sucks no matter what you do.
>>
>get a degree I don't care about

Was that a scene?
I didn't see that in the movie
>>
>>84368146
Intredasting. I wish they left that in, I bought the ending until I actually entered the workforce.
I'm sure there are people who prefer physical work to being cooped up in an office and would take getting yelled at directly by a dickhead foreman to passive aggressive corporate bureaucracy, but Peter seems like he's just lazy.

>>
>>84368146
>work sucks no matter what you do
I work from home and it's pretty decent. I've only been at it for a year, so maybe it'll end up being shitty, but it took me a lot less time to decide that working at a factory.

>>
>>84368328
I have sleep apnea. Only a matter of time
>>
>>84368492
I worked from home for 5 years, I went a little stir crazy and the monotony got awful, thought it would be a smart move to go to a wage job. I don't particularly hate it, especially because I'm basically paid to watch Netflix all night, but fyi, I really miss having completely autonomy in my life and right now I basically check my email every day to see if they're going to start recruiting again. Stick with that shit as long as you can sustain yourself.

how could you not

I watched this as a kid and I figured this was what all adults were like
>>
>>84368063
Yes. I work long night security shifts where absolutely nothing happens. It's show up, make sure everybody leaves, then ~10 hours of hoping nothing goes wrong with the facility, then let everyone in, and go home. I do close to zero with my "work". My job is being present.
I can relate to the bosses thing, sort of. I don't have 6 (or whatever) bosses but I have 1 very annoying one. He's a good guy and all because he gave me the job after a joke of an interview, but he must be losing his mind or has some kind of experimental autism. He will text me asking "Are the gates shut? Alarm set?" I'll say "Yes, the gates are shut and the alarm is set." then he'll text me about 40 minutes later to say "Alarm set? All good there?" and I'll say "Yes, alarm is set and it's all good." then he will call right before he goes to bed to say "Everything good there?" and I'll say "Yep, normal night." I work 3 nights a week and this will happen for at least two of them. He also has zero issues with telling you the same story time and time again only days apart.
I'm 24 with a dad body and none of this feels real.

I relate and still relate to the sense that if I had all the money in the world, I would just do nothing. I mean sure I'd travel the world or some typical rich guy shit like that but in the end I have no drive or motivation to do something worthwhile. I don't care about finding the cure for cancer, writing the next best piece of literature, or building homes. I essentially just want to do absolutely nothing except enjoy the money I have and what it can get me.

I did 12 hour night shifts for about a year, working security. Only "work" I had to do was a 10 minute patrol every 3-4 hours. Other than that I just watched the TV / shitposted on my phone. Towards the end I couldn't get to sleep in the daytime and didn't give a shit if I was caught so I would just sleep between patrols and do whatever I the fuck wanted in the day.

I'm a fucking nutcase I swear. I'm involved with so much shit but I feel like I gotta invest in myself on my 20s so it will pay off later.

I used to be able to sit around all day and play video games or watch movies. I remember the summer of sophomore year of college just watching Fraser and playing competitive StarCraft for 12 - 14 hours a day with the occasional movie/chill night with the bros.

Now I want nothing more than to have free time but on the rare occasion it comes I find a way to fill it up with something, be it doing car repairs, teaching myself another language, or working out.

When did I lose the ability to turn it off? Is anyone feeling me here? I just want a happy medium.

I fucking swear I'm just doing telemedicine after school and working from home for a couple years.

Not a finance analyst, but unfortunately, you'll probably have to get a day job. $160,000 in compound interest over 1 year is only going to net you a little over 12k minus capital gain in an optimistic scenario. That's nothing to sneeze at, but it's wise to use it as a source of funding for higher education, pay for rent, pay off debts, or get yourself something nice once in a while. If you're very, very sure you want to settle down, real estate can be a good investment in an area that will see growth later on.

I'd keep a list of indexes that you want to keep an eye on, and keep a spreadsheet. That should give you a feel for what investing is like.

If you have a marketable skill set and connections to people interested in hiring you on as a consultant, it's easy. I started my consulting business 3 months after I got laid off, and since then I spend all my time telling Pajeet what to do from my apartment.

Just remember that there are lean weeks, too. I work like crazy half the year, and the other half I'm effectively playing video games all day in my boxers. Consulting can be lucrative, but it's not nearly as stable as salaried life.

I'm in graduate school to be a nurse practitioner so the breakdown generally goes this:

>Two 12 hour shifts
>One 8 hour shift
>One day of class
>1 - 2 days of clinicals

So I usually have 2 days off. But I have a gf so one of those goes to her generally. Then I have half a day at the suicide line. I have work to do outside of class so that eats up a significant amount of the random free time I have around other shit. I work day shift so it's 7a - 7p, meaning I have to be up at 5:30 or so and thus have to be in bed by 9pm or so on work nights to get a good night's sleep. If I work my 12 hour shifts in a row it basically eats up 2 days, 3 if I have a 12 hour clinical after that.

Then there's the research stuff. I'm helping a lab with managing their databases for 4 hrs a week. I'm doing 10 hours a week of work for another profrssor, work which requires going to conferences and shit every so often. Then there's two teams where I am managing their tech side and helping with paper writing. My work with them isn't regular but every so often that swoops in and takes a couple hours.

I'd say in a good week I'll get a solid evening to myself with 2 or 3 hours of random downtime spread throughout the week. But some week 's are absolute shit. Last week, for example, I was either working, at clinicals, or sleeping from Sunday straight through Thursday without a break.

I'm not getting too worn out, but I'd like to have about a month or so of no fucking responsibilities and not have to feel guilty about it.

It really is. Social work is shit. Shit pay to do the work no one else wants to do. Half the time your clients hate you and all you're trying to do is get their shit together. All while making pennies.

Burnouts a huge fucking problem. Same for nursing. Especially with psych patients. You gotta have the right mentality for that shit.

In my experience it mostly comes down to personality. I've worked hard and cushy, and some people will bitch about what they're doing like it's the most agonizing thing on earth no matter what it is, and the proportions seem about the same everywhere. Mostly just need to pick a flavor of bullshit that fits your disposition and roll with it, the greenest pastures are pretty much always where you're not.
>>
>>84382405
My point exactly,the grass is always greener. We worked a VERY boring and uneventful job (literally 2 hours of work if that,6 hours of filling your time with some bullshit). Nothing ever happened and you slowly get mad and it could be described as a minimum security prison (you don't have to do anything but you need to spend 8 hours in your cubicle). So naturally we are attracted to working outside while the guys who work in blistering heat and freezing cold would kill to sit on their asses doing nothing.

ECT has a 80% success rate when treating major depression when medicine and therapy have failed. They sedate you during it and do treatments every other day for a 2-3 months usually. It's not used as a form of punishment and it genuinely does mostly work, though the mechanism of action is still unknown.

Only in that I don't care for my job and I can get by with doing fairly little and hardly anyone would notice.
What is quite different is that people don't bother me, management hardly speaks to me let alone for complaints.

If people started hassling me and trying micro manage I'd quit pretty quickly, probably fuck around first.

Yeah I do a simple, repetitive computer job in a basement for 10 bucks an hour.

It's alright if I'm geeked on adderrall, otherwise it's boring as hell. I can come and go as I please while clocked in though, so that's pretty cool. I can also listen to music and podcasts on my phone and browse uncontroversial web sites on my computer.
>>
>>84384941
Here's the truth of the matter, and if you're a youngfag, no doubt neither the schools nor your parents have told you.

An average of 40 hours a weeks is going to suck in almost all of our lives. Granted there's varying amounts of suckage and if you don't have a job that makes you miserable, you're doing better than most.

Unless you've really distinguished yourself in high school and college, you're likely doing something you don't want to do for most of the week. There's not enough success to go around and the narrative that a man can just default in to success needs to stop being taught (makes for a very rough period in your 20s when you realize you'll never achieve your dreams).

Your doing well, in this era, if you get to do something you don't hate and it can pay for living on your own and all expenditures.

i dont know man i know a few pilots and they are all really happy with their jobs and their lives in gerneral. i also know a few dentists, and while its true that some of them are pretty fucked up and... "used up" by now, a few of them just enjoy it a lot as well.

it really depends desu, i even know a few cabbies from my old job who are happy with their job. friend of mine works in forestry, can go hunting all he wants... its a lot of work, but hes also really happy.
it depends on the person i guess. i plan on being happy once i finished my training.

Jesus Christ,truth hurts. I always thought I was gonna be one of those guys who are financially secure in his 30s and enjoys life. But like you said success is limited. Not everyone can get millions of dollars and worldwide fame just because he plays video games on youtube.
>>
>>84385224
Most of those are people that distinguished themselves in college and pilots get that job through a lot of expensive training (you must have X amount of hours logged flying before you can get your pilot's license and even more for a commercial license).

Note that if you
A) Were proficient at the busywork and tedium training of high school and college, and got a degree that matters, you'll have a much better adulthood.
B) If your family has money or good jobs, chances are you have connections to managers and companies that can get your foot in the door for a good job.
C) If your family has a buttload of money, like Trump's for instance. You can start out investing, day trading, or flipping properties. And nothing pisses me off more than one started out essentially managing from a pile of capital and they have the gall to pretend they earned it.

But for most of us that doesn't happen. We start out in some grunt position of a shit company and work our way into something tolerable at best. I'd say 75% of us our in this boat and likely you will be too. When people get degrees these days they even wind up in this boat usually, unless if they were in some STEM field.

I can attest to this. I'm a lawyer and I hate my life. For the most part it's not bad but the constant deadlines and prepping for trials is terrible. The main problem with it is the fact that no matter how well you prepare things are always out of your control. Judges can see thing their own way, you have no control over opposing counsel, juries can go either way and even your clients and witnesses can fuck up monumentally requiring you to deal with shit on the fly. It's rewarding when you win but it's really just not worth it.

Hoping I can become a government paper pusher at some point and let this career go.

My dad is a lawyer, always told me to never follow his footsteps and that it was a horrible job. He's happy now doing legal work with much less responsibility but he can only do that because he got divorced and I'm old enough to take care of myself
>>
Maybe in a few years, but i'm 28 now and work in pretty similar circumstances.

It's hella fuckin easy. I remember when i started i realized why the western world sucks its because everyones lazy as fuck and no one works hard, like why would i actually focus and get my shit done in <1 hour when i can drag it the fuck out for 3+ hours while shitposting on 4chan, get paid the same, and still get a pat on the ass because everyone is somehow STILL worse than me?

IMHO the least stressful legal practices, at least in murrica are bankruptcy, patents and immigration except deportation defense. You can get a decent income out of them if you're smart with your money. But you probably won't break the 100k mark which can be crippling if you have a ton of debt.
>>
My job isn't even bad, but I know that no one ever got rich (retire early live off investment rich) by working 9-5 and I have no idea how to break the cycle and do something that gets me there. Oh well looks like it's a life of being a wage slave until I die of a random aneurysm a year before retirement for me

I got a dumb degree with no debt, but I can't find anything to do with it. Do I go back to school and major in something more worthwhile? I've always been good at writing and humanities, but I've struggled with math. Science is interesting to me but I've never been quite good at it.

What's the degree? I work at an investment bank and they sometimes take on people with total useless degrees because "lateral thinking is key". To be fair I do agree with this to some extent

M8 being a lawyer sucks donkey dick. The only reason they're paid so well is that 1) you need to know a lot of stuff 2) the work you do is tedious as hell

Now that I've had time to stop being so hungover and actually work last night, it's honestly a good job. The boss thing is annoying because I don't think it'll ever change and I don't want to piss him off. But hey, could be a lot worse.
I mostly listen to podcasts and stream shows, sometimes read. My laptop is too crummy to play anything other than Brogue and N++, it actually overheated and crashed on Terraria. So I'm pretty limited, but at least I can binge watch the stuff I "never have time for".
