Is it worth trying to start a career in this terrible job market? Or should one just go on disability and NEET it up until they die?
>>82519918Depends on the field. I live in small town America, and most of the trades are constantly hiring. I know someone that paid for a crash course in HVAC at a trade school, went from making 38k to 80k in about a year after getting his cert of completion.I work in IT, I'd recommend staying far away from it because you have a confluence of offshoring and AI that is severely hampering entry-level jobs right now.
>>82519947Its funny you mention that because I am somewhat in the IT field, or at least would like to be. I'm halfway through a Bachelor of Computer Science currently, and I just quit my job as an IT Service Desk Agent; because after 6 months it was clear they did not offer career progression there. It seems very hard to actually get a decent job in the same way that my parents did, beyond stressful entry level slop, even if I'm qualified for it. There's a very small amount of openings for recent Uni grads but its super competitive so I'm really leaning towards getting on DSP and rotting away rather than waiting another year and a half to see if i cant get that opening. Very unfortunate that the job market has gotten to this state.
>>82519979>It seems very hard to actually get a decent job in the same way that my parents didI'm 39, and if I didn't get into an IT job back in 2006, I wouldn't have a career right now. The only reason I'm able to stay employed is that I have the experience that most jobs required, and that I spend an inordinate amount of time homelabbing to pick up new skills.My best friend's two youngest brothers are struggling, they just got into trades and are making decent money, but nowhere near enough to buy their own home or start a family.
>>82519918Get some experience, it helps for later on.
>>82519918i think everyone's best bet right now is to get a bachelor's in business, accounting, something that give you a path to certifications like being a CPA, and do this while the last vestiges of white collar work still exist. look into the insurance industry and becoming an underwriter. accountants don't have to be the most charismatic people if you aren't, just maybe don't expect to rise above the level of senior accountant. these are your best chances if you can't do math like an engineer, in which case you would've gotten a diploma already, or doctor. being a doctor would suck anyway.
>>82519918What kind of disability do you have anyways?
>>82519979mid but cute face + great body is a powerful combo
>>82519918>Is it worth trying to start a career in this terrible job market? Not really. Anything of value has been outsourced to 1.4B Red Chinese slaves, for pennies.>Or should one just go on disability and NEET it up until they die?This is effectively what I have done. There are no attainable autist-friendly jobs anymore.UBI and Keynes' 15 hour work week would be a blessing for the West, at this point.Though the slave-driver 1% still want more and more from wagies, on this vile race to the bottom called globalism.
