I am 23 years old and a friendless incel, I have 13 GCSE grades (B/Cs), I self-funded two college diplomas (basically harassed out of college so did it online), and have worked since I was a 10 year old kid. The job market is so bad, I can only manage to get part-time work, and it's all minimum wage. I can't even work two part-time jobs since they want you to be fully available to work an 8 hour contract. I have been rejected from retail, cleaning, laundrettes even though I worked all of these jobs as a kid. Currently I work as a housekeeper in a hotel and do manual labour on the side. What do you do? I was thinking of getting a COMPTIA+ qualification, since even if AI takes over code then surely they still need people to build computers right? Is it over?
I'm a janitor. I walk around, breathe fresh air, smoke a cig, wipe a few tables down, vacuum a bit all while listening to music. When I'm done with my assigned tasks I usually have a few hours left to just hide outside and get high watching YouTube.
>>84536890That sounds comfy but is the pay alright? I get paid peanuts.
>>84536902Extremely comfy. It's provides peace. Pay is ok. 16 an hour.
>>84536890Does your mom charge you any rent?
>>84536912Is it a night shift? I worked in a hotel on night shift but I was lone working and managing the whole hotel (smaller). It was nice lone working but pay was bad.
>>84536919No. I'll probably retire here. It's AI safe until like 2050 when humanlike maneuverable bots roll out. I don't even know if the company knows about me or my position. Nobody pays attention. I get left alone.
>>84536927Days. 12-8pm. Enough time to sleep in or stay up a bit.
>>84536939>>84536949Damn, good for you anon. That sounds like a dream job honestly.
>>84536874IT certs are near worthless now. H1B and outsourcing ruined tech outside of niche roles. HR still wants to see certs but when half of Hyderabad is using brain dumps and degree mills (and will work for $6/hr) good luck
>>84537118I have no clue what to do. Pretty much everything is a dead end.
>>84537129It's bleak right now. I run a 6 figure consulting firm and went to a great school for my BS. Currently attend a prestigious MS program (somewhere in the top 3 for cyber) and manage multiple corporate security programs. I have all the desirable certs, including the expert level ones at ISC and CompTIA. I have literally hired other people.And they don't care lol, any job applications to local fortune 500 (or remote applications of any kind) get rejected or ignored. I'm certain they prioritize slaves (Indians, interns, etc.), nepo hiring and internal staff, and that's assuming the jobs are even real and not investor bait. I don't know how the average person manages in a job market like this
