No
If you don't work but you're not homeless then the government will give you money, depending on where you live. You often have to show some form of proof that you're actively looking for work.
If you're homeless, you stay in the gutter and don't receive payments.

Why is this a bad thing?

They're paying you money to help you find a job, it's so fucking to game the system when you're under 25, but this actually makes you want to get off it and find real work.

I'm looking for a more permanent position, but when it comes to office work and call centres, they know that they can hire more temp workers for the cost of permanent workers. They get in 50-100 people, of which a chunk will leave. They offer extended contracts to the best, maybe a permanent contract to the top one or two who'll stay and make the place look good, everyone else, thanks for your help, leave your security pass at the door.

How can I get welfare in Canada?

My parents have some savings, and I have a little bit too. Do they check that stuff?

Because if you're on part time work the participation and reporting requirements don't change, being on the dole is already harder than working and having to do both is completely unmanageable, harrassment from your employment provider over payslips and setting conflicting appointment times or arbitrarily cutting you off and making you attend a re-engagement when you're scheduled to work could also lead to your employer just firing you.

Basically, the way the system is set up actively discourages you from working.

That isn't how it works at all.
The youth allowance is hassle free and you can laze around and do whatever you want, the asshole allowance cut in around when people exit tertiary education. You have to work substantial part time half of the year to keep getting it, but training counts; so you just have cunts stay in school or training forever and then you're nearing 30 and you're still unemployable unless you beat the other seven hundred lads going for a burger flipping job.

You get a trade skill, an actually relevant STEM qualification or you start your own business in a clever way that makes a profit 99% off goverment subsidies or you're part of the large majority competing for minimum wage retail/hospitality.
Not that those are bad, we still have great wages, the cost of living is high; but unless you're in deep with children and a mortgage already, or you waste money on booze and ciggs then you can get yourself set pretty quick.

24 here, never had full-time work only had a few interviews despite applying to around 100 jobs a month.

It's so depressing to never get any call backs or any response to any of my applications. Got to the point where I've completely given up on getting a job in IT despite finishing two diplomas at TAFE.

Protip though you can just go back to study then back on the dole without doing any work for the dole until a year or so later.

Quality of life trumps ease. You want fucking women problems? Bleeding out your hole? sub-par physical ability across the board. Significant chance for much lower intelligence, and even if you dodge that you've got such a fucked up emotional state that nobody will notice.

And socially you're surrounded by either people who hate you on virtue of being the same as you, or people who want to fuck you, by virtue of being around you.

And then there is all the feminist half-truths of which you'll get hit by at least a couple.

How so?

I don't want to sound like a recruiter, I'm someone who tried doing the same here in Australia as a technician in the Air Force, but Asthma ultimately fucked me over and I couldn't pass the spirometry.

The benefits are really good, but it's not as routine as a regular job and there's always the chance you'll be sent to a potentially dangerous place.

I ultimately wanted to do it just to get away from everything, get into shape and hopefully improve myself as a person overall. Unfortunately this just wasn't in the cards for me and it still pains me today.

Call centres, man. It's shit work and you'll hate every second of it, but the turnover is high so they're always looking for new people. As long as you're presentable, polite and sound enthusiastic at the interview, odds are they'll hire you. Once you get in, hint to your manager that you'd really like to do some back-office work or something to get you off the phones. Best case scenario, you wind up in another department, worst case, you stay where you are. Either way, start saving money and look for another job as and where you can.

It may seem hopeless, but take it from one who's been where you are countless times, there's always another way out.

At first, I was a bit pickier, and I told myself I didn't want a shit job, but as time dragged on, I went deeper, and you're right, I'd have hated every second, but I'm not even getting the opportunity to do that.

That's pretty much the same as straya, except muh work for the dole.

It's all online these days, and they even give less of a shit. You just have to put a place down and their number because calling to ask if they have any positions open counts as looking for one job.
You can even pretend to be retarded and say you called up five difference branches of [RETAIL CHAIN X], and even if you and they both know that the only thing they say to any job search is "go online", they still allow it because there is probably both that many retards on the system already, and that many social workers that don't give a fuck.

About the same, except they demand you go in weekly for the first 16 weeks. As long as you're seen to be applying for at least one or two jobs a day (which you have to make note of on their website), they're happy. If you do less than that, that's when they can bring out the hatchets.

The cash is only £75 a week, but because I'm classed as disabled, I get an extra £25 a week.Not enough to actually do anything or go anywhere, but it works out to about as much as an average part-time job.

I mean £100 is about the same. For a 20 hour week, after tax (but long, long before bills) most folks will be walking away with £4-500. It's still shit, but if you're getting housing and council tax benefits, you'll only have food, rent, phone, etc to pay.

Need some advice lads. So I gave an interview for this retail sales job about a month ago. Get a call from him yesterday telling me to come in. Then he says that he will proceed further with me if I spend two/three days at the store with him for the training and he can gauge my performance. Says that if I get hired I will receive pay for these days but I won't otherwise. It's part-time and I'm thinking of going for it because it's a mobile carrier store that I don't think gets a lot of customers. Pays minimum wage.

What do?

No anon, that's bullshit. Against labor laws to be working when not actually on the clock at an hourly job. You can straight report that fucker for even asking.

The way shitty retail works is you get hired, trained (with pay), then if you are not complete shit you get to stay on. If he doesn't like you after a few days of preforming the job he gets to fire you.

Its not a black market type of deal or anything sketchy like that. I go to this research clinic that needs this stuff and get compensated with money for "donating". The bone marrow donation is pretty painful and just plain uncomfortable, but the actual pain doesnt last too long. They just have you lie face down and stick a bone needle through your lower back to extract it. It feels like your leg is getting pulled through your back, but after the procedure is over it doesnt feel so bad.

Worked in a factory for minimum wage, where you have to constantly bend in awkward positions... where you have to breathe air full of dust... where the supervisor keeps yelling at you because you're not fast enough even though you are... where you have sweat marks on your butt because it's so hot in there...

I had grey hair at 22 while working there. And I still have lower back pain.

I don't wish that to ANYONE. Not even my WORST enemy.

Yes. IT'S THAT BAD.

I can somewhat grasp the basic things. I go for 100% in games and can manage...mostly.

On the plus side it means I can easily replay games while only remembering very select things through the haze of my mind. It's like I'm 80 years old in the body of a 28 year old

It's reasonable in the third world. Not somewhere where anything other than a father and son home business adding a garage to a friend's house requires half a dozen pages of legal mitigation before commencing work, if you have all of the required safe work training tickets.

Worked one summer in a glue factory. I was still a student back then. Had to mix some powders, and it would mix and stick to my sweat.

Then, after getting my degree and not finding a job in my field, I ended up in the warehouse of a big chain store that sells used clothes... you probably know what it is.

It's like going to a third world country, while physically being in a western developed one.

A true nightmare.

You know the issue here its not your meme degrees you get, its that you go to meme universities or college.

My university has a 99,9% of finding a job after 3 months, literally everyone gets hired,

Frankly if you dont go to any of the top 20 universitties in your country (less if its a smaller one) dont bother going to college, its a scam, use that time to get a job related in what you want to do and then get the degree.
>>
>>380827961
I've had a lot of shit jobs and been on government handouts as well. I'm a university dropout (couldn't afford my final year because I fucked up my second year). If you want some real advice from an old man (in /v/ terms) seriously get a job. I've been down that road and if you don't have even just a shit minimum wage job as experience by the time your 25 you are going to have a shit life barring some miracle. Seriously, it sucks. And you will start late. And if you want to get into a trade or manual labour shit you better fucking do it when you are young because NOBODY hires apprentices if they are over 25. NO ONE.

I'm a patient guy, friend. I waited years simply to get a PS4, I can easily wait until Christmas or when I get a small bit of the freelance work. I'd rather not torrent games or get anyone I love into trouble with the law so I make do with what I have.

Thank you for the offer but I'm alright, I've made some good internet friends over the years (Even bonded with a bunch of people over Katawa Shoujo back when it released if you'll believe it), I just get tired of this nonsense sometimes and needed to vent. All I want is to have my own family and every year that passes I'm more worried about that even being a reality.

I get money from other sources, but the writing stuff comes to about $1.2k a month atm, half of that from Patreon and the other half from commissions.

Now many of you senpaitachi are going to call me many names once I've explained how I manage to live a very comfortable life while still not having to work, at all; I understand why this might upset many of you but I did my research, came up with a game plan and then executed it. The results being everything I had wanted.

>Social Security - Disability
>Free health care for life.
>Food stamps.
>Pell Grants
>Scholarships (I have a Spanish middle name so I put down that I Latino and at least two a semester just because of that; I also say I'm a homosexual (I'm not) to better my odds of getting more.
>Subsidized Loans which can be completely erased once I have obtained my Bachelors.

No, this is not fair but nothing is life is; it's every man for himself and they're too lazy/disabled/ignorant to go out and find ways to get the things I have then that's their own fault.

Don't get me wrong; I'm not rich by any means. But it's a sweet fucking life for someone who literally does nothing but go to college and fuck 18-21 year old chicks.

Fair play mate. Hit a bit close to home as I'm straight unable to work due to disability currently, and there's no amount of willpower or pro-activeness that could change that overnight. From my experience disabled people would trade the relatively mild difficulty of a 9-5 job for the difficulties a disability brings at the drop of a hat.

If I could change my situation for a soul crushing, shitty job I would at a drop in a hat. I get your point though, that's not your problem.

Nice, I also have a hanging plant; I always feel bad when I have to trim his dreadlocks.

If you liked vanilla XCOM, you'll like the sequel too. Expect it to be easy mode after LW but it's still a fun game.

Give it a go, force yourself to, it's worth a play if you already have it.

Genuine question: to those getting autism bucks why not just work as a programmer? Even as a junior front end web dev you will make twice as much yearly and easily over 4 times that in a year or two. Also doesn't require a degree and barely requires much concentration and actual work hours per day (you just have to appear to be working and complete a task every so often)

I don't understand why people who don't want to work just go study something. You can just apply to any school for free and the government pays your rent and gives you money for your studies. Going to school is better than doing a shitty job.

It's very easy to become bitter and jaded when you're given a harder run than other people. Not to discredit the hard work you no doubt have done, but this is something that I probably couldn't do even if I had the same drive you do. At that point many people (as I have myself in the past) internalize it and start feeling that there's no point trying. It's a hard battle to fight and I have a lot of respect for people who struggle day to day but keep going. That takes much more effort than someone who's healthy could imagine and I can see why it might come across as lazy or complacent, when it's anything but.

Cheers for being understanding anon. No one is trying to Jew you out of your money or be entitled because muh disabilities, everyone is just trying to do well by themselves and get by I think.

I used to work in IT with pretty good pay, good enough I could just go and buy any game any day without even thinking about it. Then my contract ended early this year and since then I've been struggling to get by when after taxes and rent and shit what is left for living is about 400 eurodollars a month.

So now I think I can buy like one game in a month and even that has a huge impact on my food budget (food is fucking expensive here). Good thing there really hasn't been that many games released this year I would actually want. Having a mother from who I can take small loans helps but I feel like shit every time I have to borrow money from anybody since once I used to have a quality life.

I understand your mentality, senpai; I was there a few times in my life but if there is one thing I was blessed/cursed with, it's tenacity.

If I want something, I'm fucking getting it; you can attempt to stop me or down all you want but you'll never stop me.

I just got a letter saying they reviewed my disability and I'm approved for another 8 years but if for some reason, I didn't get it anymore then I would suck it up and get a job.

You are your own worst enemy but you can also be your greatest ally and asset.

Ultimately, the choice is yours.

Good luck, senpai.

Are you me?

Except 90 percent of my graduating high school class all ended up going to pharm school while I'm a NEET and used to be ranked academically number 10 in my highschool and helped everyone with homework.

So should a highschool reunion occur when I'm 30 years old, everyone I used to know will be a pharmacist.

It's kind of depressing in a way because before highschool graduation, not one single person I knew mentioned anything about being a pharmacist.

I couldn't handle being a pharmacist and dealing with sick people picking up prescriptions all day.

Went through a stage of wanting to kill myself. Eventually realized I wanted to not feel bad rather than not feel anything. Suicide isn't a fix to bad feelings, it's a fix to all feelings.

Best thing you can do while unemployed and trying to hang in there, is to develop a new skill. Especially if you already have a background in IT and that is your thing, there are countless things you can educate yourself with for free and without leaving home.

I have a BBA degree in IT and I've worked in development projects, but when seeking a job in that field every fucking position seems to require fluency in some coding language, which I don't have. Don't even know anymore how many times I've progressed through the recruitment process for something to the last step, just to get a call that 'Sorry, but we are actually looking someone who has more experience in coding, but we keep in touch'.

So I've slowly started to learn C# again which I haven't used since uni and I plan on learning Java by the end of this year.

Sure I could lower my standards when it come to what I would do for living and get a job but I've done shitty jobs so much in my life and since I spent last three years doing something I liked and was paid well, there is no fucking way I go back to some bullshit job just for the money. I would rather commit sudoku than go clean up floors while looking back to the days I had a nice office job with good salary.

I've lived in my car for over 2 years. I'm not in any trouble and I can work when I want to. Anything that's not going well for me has little to do with this choice in my lifestyle. Thank you, regardless.

>Do you keep your vehicle parked at one spot or do you prefer to stay on the go?

I have a few spots around town that I have found to be the most reliable sleep spots. Since I'm not working right now I only have to move to where I want to, when I want to. I mostly stay in the same circuit as dictated by when and where my hobby (poker) is running. I then sleep in that area, or I drive to where I want to be the next day and sleep there.

A lot of people get into this lifestyle because they want to travel. I don't like to travel.

>What's your normal day like?

Wake up sometime in the afternoon, drive to wherever I want to eat/drink that day, order some coffee and sit down on my laptop until poker at 6 most nights. Kill more time on laptop until sleep at 4-5 am or so.

I'd like to have a "better" day/night cycle but I can never seem to get it to stick.

Hey man, I worked min wage in a day and night in a second world country and my shift changed from week to week. I had to take sleeping pills because of the stress and my sleeping schedule was still fucked, but it got me decent money and it brought order in my life.

It's sad to hear about people studying their asses off in uni only to never get a job after they graduate. Happens quite a lot here too since you're told right when you start education that Uni is the be all end all and that you're nothing without a degree or diploma.

The smart ones realise that early on in their degree and work hard to get ahead of their classmates by graduation. The ones that don't get fucked

This thread depresses the fuck out of me. I've lived in poverty basically my entire life. Single mom, have two younger brothers. Worked part-time for a long time. Took a lot time to get into college. Told upfront because of my previous education I'd need to do a minimum of 5 years. Do college and part-time work, and have trouble in classes that I have no interest in so I get knocked into academic probation every so often for having a less than 2.00 semester GPA. I've been kicked into academic probation for getting a 1.999 semester GPA and that's the worst fucking feeling in the world. Life has been hard for me. I tell myself it's because I'm lazy and but I just don't know if that's the true cause or if I just what my problems to be because I'm lazy. Feels like I've been a man since I've been 9. I've always had to the mature, responsible one in my family. I even have to take care of my mom sometimes because she's an emotional wreck and turns to alcohol when she's stressed. I'm 27. I'm trying for a degree in microbiology and only need about one more year, but realistically I don't know what I can do with that. There are a lot of labs near me, and apparently the government is the biggest employer of biology degrees, but I just don't know anymore.

I don't regret my life but I hope my 30's are better.

Stuck at home fag here. Sorry if this seems like spoon feeding but I honestly wouldn't know where to start learning to code. I've never even looked into it and have no idea what I'm doing but have the motivation and free time to learn from scratch. Has anyone got any recommendations of where to start and how to teach myself?

Had my second job last month and was forced to quit because my mom kicked me out of her house,

>barely talk to anyone after working all day get home at 12-1am
>when I'm off and want to relax I sleep all fucking day and keep in my room until dinner time
>"You can't be that tired anon"
>"Be more sociable anon"
>my job was making coffee for shit heads literally only enjoyed baking donuts/bread all day and night so I didn't have to talk to shit head customers
>"If you're going to be miserable don't be miserable around me"
>forced to quit and back to living in squalor with my grandma

Yeah fuck it wasn't as bad other than me wanting to sleep all the time and I'm even considering going to work at Wal-Mart now because I know my grandma would appreciate the help and would leave me the fuck alone when I'm not working.

>Entry level CompSci job
>Working ridiculously hard and getting involved in way too much responsibility than is appropriate for my position
>Getting paid the same as my friends who went for easy "half our day is playing table tennis" style jobs

The regret is sinking in.

On the other hand this job is ridiculously good skill development, so I guess it's a case of hoping it pays off in the future.

You can't be anti-social at work dumbass. If you don't talk with people you gonna get fired from everywhere. People don't like to work with complete strangers and they consider unwillingness to talk with them hostile. At least you got experience so you shouldn't have much problem getting a new job.

It won't. Better to live happily in a job you enjoy than burn out mentally in a job you don't hoping the future will work itself out.

I do shit all half the time and its pretty nice.

I am concerned about how its going to look when I apply for management eventually though. There just isn't enough work that falls onto my desk to occupy me for 37.5 hours a week
>>
>>380836343
it really is like that though, I ended up getting "lucky(never thought about suicide before working here)" and got hired a my grocery store, my brother had been doing the same for years and I had to pull some strings to get him to work here as well

Languages like Java or C# have so much free educational material out there that it's hard to pin point a specific place to start.

Start by simply googling Learn Java and start from there for basics. Once you get a hold of what object oriented programming is in general, then you cans start trying to do some tutorials from youtube etc. Download Android Studio and try doing some simple mobile app tutorials for example.

This thread made me sad by reminding me of how much of a failure I am. Thanks, OP.

>>380848019
Sure you can. Companies looking for junior back-end developers are more interested in skills than work experience.

If you have some work experience that has something to do with projects or IT and you know the basics of Java for example, there is very high chance you will be recruited, if you don't have related work experience but you can prove that you handle the basics and can become a professional is few years, you are likely to be recruited. Of course you shouldn't expect to land a job in a massive company like Google or MS, but if you reach out to mid level consulting companies or start-ups you have a good chance.

That is true, but without pride I would be sucking dicks on a street for easy money. If you don't have any pride or standards you will never make it and you'll have a miserable life hating your job and yourself to the grave.

Dying knowing I didn't try hard enough is fucking scary thing to think about.

Depends where you live and what you learn but in general 3-5 years working in the area you'd like to freelance.

I don't have a job currently, but I had been working for about 2 years until I left my previous job last July. Saved up around 10k. I'm also living at my parents house. I pay for any shit that I want/use with money from the job I had, whether that's vidya, electronics, my car, food, whatever. Even if I were still working now I honestly don't think I'd be significantly closer to moving out and being completely independent since renting feels like a suckers game unless you're moving far away and houses are expensive as shit where I live.
