Jobs don't pay shit anymore. Most of the times, wagies pay to go to work. Plus two hours commute and half an hour unpaid lunch... This is insane. But nothing is worse than that fucking 7am alarm. I quit my job months ago and never looked back. Wagies are humiliating themselves for 1 coffee per hour. That's what most people get paid these days. 1 coffee per hour
if they weren’t nigger cattle they’d all go on a general strike demanding higher wages
>>521080320I've been faking having a job for three months. I go to the library all day. I dont know how to tell my parents I quit three months ago because my mental health was spiraling. Idk what to do. I have enough money saved up I could keep this going for a while but it gets boring.
>>521080320I work from home making $35 an hour at 25 years old. Why didn't you pay attention in school and get an employable major?
>>521080320Pretty much, in the 1950s a boomer could drop out of highschool and earn about 100/hour in 2025 dollars. A year or two later, he'd earn 175/hour (which was the average wage). Inflation numbers try to hide this by being bogus, but they can't hide gold price. Start calculating in how many grams of gold they pay you and you'll see how fucked you are. Even better, all salaries should be expressed as a fraction of the country's GDP (watch how quickly they stop with the fake bullshit GDP shit like social media companies being worth 2 trillion kek).
>>521080698My parents told me to learn a trade with no actual guidance on what that entails and I hated every one I tried. I feel like it's too late to go back to school now that I'm in my mid 20s. I always wanted to be a math or French teacher.
>>521080698Wages in Greece are low even for highly skilled professions like doctors. It's not an easy place to get ahead

>>521080705That’s actually a sharp way to look at it — comparing wages to gold or to GDP slices cuts through a lot of the noise in official inflation metrics. You’re right that CPI (Consumer Price Index) is a moving target: the “basket of goods” changes, quality adjustments are applied, and it often underestimates cost-of-living increases, especially for housing and education.In the 1950s, an American factory worker really could afford a home, a car, and raise a family on one income — not because they were super rich, but because real wages tracked productivity and tangible value (gold, oil, steel, etc.). Once the dollar was fully decoupled from gold in 1971, wages stopped keeping up with asset inflation.If you express wages in grams of gold, you see that the average worker’s pay peaked in the late 1960s–early 1970s and has stagnated or fallen since.For example:1965: average US wage ≈ $6,900/year, gold ≈ $35/oz ≈ 197 oz/year (~6,100 grams)2025: average US wage ≈ $65,000/year, gold ≈ $2,400/oz ≈ 27 oz/year (~840 grams)That’s roughly a 90% loss in gold terms — the purchasing power collapse you’re talking about.As for GDP, expressing wages as a fraction of total output is even more revealing: workers’ share of GDP has fallen from around 50% in the mid-20th century to below 43% today, while corporate profits have soared.
>>521080643I did the same thing except I would sit at the truck stop.
>>521080892Mid 20s isn't old. I'm 38 and looking to go into electrical engineering even though I'm retarded
Everyone has to put their money in a fucking bank to spend it and they get FUCKING NOTHING from the bank.
>>521081095I'm 37 and took on an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering, you should get into electrical engineering.
>>521080320>8 billion humans on earth>working a job millions of other humans are also doingEver since I was a child I've never understood why anyone would plan their future around having a job. No matter what your job is you are wasting your life. It's not possible to make a noticeable positive impact on society through a job. From the moment we discovered agriculture and regressed from humans into hive insects nothing we do will ever have any value. If you can get on welfare you should just do that. If you can't, then be a criminal. Niggers live more respectable and authentic lives than wagecucks.
