I graduated in Spring '24 with majors in mathematics and economics and still haven't gotten a job. I've been getting more call backs lately and have two interviews later this week but but the recent xitter discourse of cuckservative inc. telling men with degrees that they should be okay with working at UPS or fast food jobs has me feeling a bit demoralized I can't lie...
>>80064426i dont know but in the past ive applied to dozens of jobs to get 1 or 2 interviews which i proceed to bomb borribly and humiliate myself. feels like everything is stacked against us
I got my degree and could not get any job. I got two interviews after dropping resumes to every listing I could find for three months. They went badly, the interviewers kept saying "Uh-huh" in that kind of slow unbelieving way after I answered their questions.Almost penniless, got a retail job. They went out of business. Managed to pick up a union retail job a month after that. Not great, but I have health insurance now.Personality, social skills, and connections matter way more than being qualified to an interviewer. Any asshole can get qualified in the 2020s. Every fuckstick and their aunt Matilda has a bachelor's degree in something and there's more graduating every year. I'll say it, the BS is the new High School diploma (1960s-1970s). It's the bare minimum for competence now.
>>80064516I was hoping that math/econ combo would make me stand out more for having a harder/"real" major but yeah a business major with connections is easily mogging me, any job where you absolutely need math or econ over eating crayons at business school is probably gonna need grad school.
>>80064426my first job?it took me a day since i appliedgraduated as an engineer-architectthe tricky part is that it was a swiping the floor in a factory type of jobsat there for 3 months when i found out that making any kind of "career" would take me longer than fucking uni itselfwent for a construction job next time as it was more in line with my education and could lead to some actual career progress, like being a site managersat there for 4 months and then i gave up, since the company was absolute shit tier with commie work standards, ie useless for getting any modern experiencei doubt i will find any job in my field really, im nearing 30, no experience and there are a lot of candidates to compete withhonestly i dont even want to go to the wagie jobs, despite the potential to get some good spending money and thats because i live with my parentsthat allows me to stash most of the money i make, so i can save almost 100% of my earnings - fuel obviouslybut we are a poorfag family, so my wages are almost entirely garnished in the endi think ive "lent" them about 70-75% of what i made for those 7 months of work, which was around 5k$mind you the biggest expense i ever made with that money for myself, was 75$ for an 2TB HDDi feel demoralized toodont even see the point of going to work when i wont be able to keep the money anyway
>>80064725Why not just cut your family off?
>>80064426Been going 14 years as a neet. I don't look for jobs though.Big chance I get into some cushy government clerk position soon.
>>80065607How have you managed to stay a NEET for 14 years?
>>80065607>Big chance I get into some cushy government clerk position soon.Are you American? How'd you get this if you're not looking and what's the pay like?
>>80065628I don't like working and being a neet gives me lots of times to spend on my hobbies. I also don't spend much so I can do fine living with parents and with the very small amount of money that I make online.>>80065632Not american. My mom started doing a farmers market type of thing and got linked with an aspiring politician trying to be known in the community, then came the elections and the aspiring politician worked with an established one to show he can help him win a state election in exchange for help in getting elected in my city. My mom (and me too) helped organize meetings and stuff like that and now I am getting some lower level clerk job which is fine for me as I want something with as little responsability as possible and I can even game during most of it since there isn't much to do.
>>80065527they arent the lazy leech slob type, so i would kind of feel badthe only thing i would blame on them is wasteful spending on small things like foodotherwise, their only fault is being somewhat naive and being born poorfags themselves
>>80064426>NEET here>has a degreefucking kill yourself.
>>80066301I'm not in education, employment, or training. Having a degree doesn't disqualify you from being a NEET, in fact graduate NEETs suffer more.
>>80066451>graduate NEETs suffer moreYou'll have a 80k minimum job by the end of the year. In 2 years you'll come back to /r9k/ and complain how you were once a robot too and how you can escape it with a good attitude and hard work. Me? I'll be here, shitposting, depressed, jobless, loveless and on the brink of suicide.
I like PCs and tech and built a few (2) pcs in my life so one day while I was browsing the local big PC chain website (think microcenter) I saw they had a wanted page at the bottom so I clicked on it and saw they had a job opening for a PC building position, sent an application and despite having been a neet for 4 years after I graduated and no prior experience they called me up for an interview and they were impressed enough with me to give me the jobPay is good, terms are good, we have a pension fund, coworkers are chill and mostly stay in their lane and I get to play with basically adult LEGOs the entire day while listening to music in a quiet air conditioned room
>>80064426I'm in the process of looking for one right nowI hate it so fucking much brosI am so envious of the people who will be born when UBI is already a thing and won't ever have to go through this stupid shit like you people wouldn't believe
>>80066593MAN i need to do that shit, i know a lot about computers
>>80066593funny, in 2010 I had just graduated highschool, and got A+ and Network+ certs, and I couldnt even get interviews for helpdesk jobs. The single job I got an interview for I didnt get a call back, I eventually gave up and did warehouse work instead driving forklifts for double what a helpdesk job would have paid.
>>80066483>In 2 years you'll come back to /r9k/ and complain how you were once a robot too and how you can escape it with a good attitude and hard work.Even if I get a good job I'll know hard work is bullshit, besides I have an actual physical deformity so that's more robot than 90% of this board even if I can become financially well off.
>>80066787>I have an actual physical deformityAnd you can't get some form of disabilitybux for that?Disabilitybux would be a dream come true for me
>>80066746Job hunting, especially interviewing, is genuinely a humiliation ritual imposed on proles by capitalists. There's no reason you shouldn't just be allowed to get a job after being trained for it via a degree/certificate/exam civil service style like a chinese mandarin.
>>80066765its not all fun and games and can be kind of annoying, remember you're building a PC someone paid for, if its some office pc in a case with no tempered glass side panel sure but most people who buy custom PCs include a bunch of rgb lights and fans so you have to cable manage entire snake pits sometimes and make it look good, there is definitely a creative touch to it at times
>>80066783being a forklift driver sounds nice honestly but from speaking to people who do it for a living the beeping when the forklift is reversing is borderline unbearable at times, especially if you're already stressed.
>>80066808I doubt it because the disability doesn't prevent me from working in any way, but it makes eating properly terrible (open bite). I got braces a few months ago and will have surgery probably within a year which will be covered at least, so it won't be a permanent disability if all goes well but I can't view myself as some normie and not a robot when I've lived with both the functional and aesthetic burden of it up to this point.
>>80066765>>80066848oh and, if you can manage dealing with people I'd highly recommend a salesperson position, the bonuses our sales guys make here are honestly kind of insane, they also offered me the position funnily enough but no amount of money could force me to spend my entire day talking to strangers
>>80064426Have a PhD and been unemployed over a year with 150+ applications
>>80066913What's it in? Why not just become a professor in the meantime?
>>80066483>You'll have a 80k minimum job by the end of the year. In 2 years you'll come back to /r9k/ and complain how you were once a robot toowell its been 2 years since i graduatedwhere is my stable job that is not a warehouse wageslave position?you are the embodiment of what i hate in my parents the mostthe complete isolation from reality>just get a degree>it will give you a good lifeall it did was waste my youthnow i have no future or past to look fondly toits literally over
>>80066928>What's it in?Bioinformatics, which makes it highly transferrable to any sort of statistics or data analysis in addition to being used "as intended". >Why not just become a professor in the meantime?Do you have any idea how few PhDs can even get postdoctoral academic posiitons, let alone tenure?
>>80064426Took me almost a full year + a change of career
>>80066938>waste your youth kek, you spent 4 years sitting in a close room with people your own age. Now that you're out of college do you find that your ability to make new friends is easier? LMFAO. Do you think that now that you aren't literally locked into a room with women your chance of getting laid has increased? >where is my stable jobStill 100x better off and more likely to get one than a college drop out.
>>80067027>kek, you spent 4 years sitting in a close room with people your own age. Now that you're out of college do you find that your ability to make new friends is easier? LMFAOsadly i was spending 4 years sitting alone in my room wasting away on projects and notesit wasnt a degree i could pass by doing nothing, unless i wanted to spend a fortune on buying finished projects from seniors, but that would only cut down a bit on my workalso i had to sit down and study during HS already to get into uni in the first placeso when my collegues were fucking around during the weekends, i was sitting at courses and practices preparing for entrance exams>Still 100x better off and more likely to get one than a college drop outnot reallysince i have 0 connections in the field so my chances are exactly 0 as well LMAO
>>80067027The fact that us graduate NEETbros spent 4 years surrounded by whores spreading their legs and still couldn't be laid is a testament to the fact that we're robots among robots.
>>80064725I graduated with an art degree in December of 2020 and didnt find any job in the same or a different field until February of 2022. The difference was right before that point I decided to say I worked with a crypto company I previously had three rounds of interviews with and that fake experience got me a job with another crypto adjacent startup only a few weeks later. That is all you need to do for a job, just lie about your experience. If they ask for references you can have some friends or family members make some stuff up and talk to them on the phone, that is how I got my next job. Really thats all you need to do, just lie and learn on the job provides youre not a doctor or whatever.
>>80066301That's like insulting a NEET for graduating high school, or going through the school system at all, kind of a lame jab to what? Make yourself feel worse off? It just means currently not in education not "never been in education", what a dumb thing to say
>>80064426I got a WGU meme degree, and it took literally around 1000 applications to get a job that only pays $47000
>>80067231What you have described is called "illegal"
>>80067231you lied for a job interview in a scam company anonofc they hired youlying about credentials in my line of work lands you in jail, as you have to be on a list to even be allowed to work in the first place
2020 CS graduateNEET for the last 5 yearsand now there's no jobs left
>>80064426i gave up on getting a real job i just work a comfy wfh job
>>800644269 years first actual job at 27, a very lazy do nothing all day office job at the local county I tried to get work before but I guess I looked too depressed to hire and I'm not built for physical labor Got the job by scoring high enough in one of those tests they dont care for experience or anything pay is good and you dont ever get fired
