What do you do when all the cool careers you have read about in 100 year old books don't exist anymore
>>16976232>Don't be just this amount of lazy, you have to be even lazier! Don't think, don't create, don't do anything just consume and give orders to slopborgs! It's (((good for you)))!I hate this new ZOG world so much.
The tech world has become a literal race to the bottom. We used to value productivity, but now we are competing with eachother to see who can be the most unthinking and lazy.If the tech bros get what they want, and we fully transition from a meritocracy fueled by Protestant work ethic into a pluto-idiocracy, we are doomed as a species.
>>16976418>>16976420And why the FUCK do so many people think this is a good idea? Why do they want this so badly? Whatever the case, they have been thoroughly and utterly kiked, enslaved and collared.
Why is it so common to see someone with multiple publications on advanced number theory or some other talmudic mathematical jibber jabber working as front end engineers and other jobs for women and jeets? Shouldn't these people have had a little swag with it and be able to do something more demanding?
Any good advice on keeping the autism level down during the interview?
>>16976235I'm telling the younger members of my family to look into being a mortician. It's not the type of thing that is easily automated, especially due to public health regulations. Most people can't stomach the idea of working with the dead and with Boomers nearing the end of their lifespan, it's a growing business. It'll take two decades to clear out all the Boomers and Gen-X is likely to have shorter lifespans than Boomers, which means a good three decades of steady business.Best of all, unlike "the trades", there's not going to be a gold rush into funeral homes like there was with software development. >>16976575Dead people don't care if you have autism. Just something to mull over.
Just got my first application rejection after getting my bachelors! Here's to many more, and now back to my blue collar job.
>>16976504Because there are thousands of jobs for mediocre engineers and like two jobs requiring further talmudic mathematics which go to even bigger nerds with better connections.Most people's day to day work even in relevant jobs is far simpler than even their undergrad classes. Never mind cutting edge research papers.
>>16976575Immersion therapy is the only way. Spend time around normies to mimic their behaviors and dialogue. It feels cringe to act like an npc, but they will accept you more naturally.
>>16976604id really like to find more niche things like this that are somewhere between trade and white collar. i wish i had *any* education whatsoever on what opportunities and careers are out there instead of just getting the college pitch and getting laughed at for considering nothing else, useless ass highschool teachers. im 30 with a useless bachelors so im not sure whats even viable to pursue anymore
>>1697662633 here with a pre-med B.S. with a focus on infectious disease. Getting a job is fucking impossible without a masters. Just gonna go back to uni.
>>16976626Short term, long haul truck driving. It's not a career, it's something you suck it up and do for a few years, four at the most, and bank your earnings so you can springboard to something else. The Supreme Court just made a major ruling that puts the liability for bad drivers onto those who had been hiring them through third party brokers. With was liability washing, letting companies hire cheap third world labor, often here illegally, and put the risk on small LLCs that could be collapsed if a wreck happened. Many states are also enacting new laws and allocating funds for enforcement of them (which seems obvious but is something that's often skipped). The net effect is the flood of cheap labor into trucking is being reversed, which will lead to lots of opportunity for citizens and green card holders, not just because the third worlders are being excluded but also because over the past decade people who would have gone into trucking were locked out so they went elsewhere.Seriously though, it's not a good long term career. It's hard on the body and can be mind numbing.
Any tips for making a resumé stand out?
>>16976639i can't drive sadly
>>16976609You would think if they were so smart they'd have figured that out before embarking on a 6 year jolly
Im gonna start putting black and gay on my job apps to improve my odds
>>16976653Don't call it a resumé for one.
>>16976604Don't this job involves dealing with grieving normies?
>>16976653Add hobbies: furry conventions, autism awareness
>>16976672This isn't 2015
>>16976678It's a CV but who gives a fuck?
>>16976681Depending on the facility, there can be different roles for the front of the house and the back of the house. A small family run funeral home might have everyone able to do everything but larger ones can have workers who mostly do the behind the scenes prep work with the public facing people being those who are better suited for dealing with the public, especially those grieving. The back of house workers however will generally have to interact with the police, coroner, and hospital personnel when collecting remains. It's also worth noting that the business is becoming female dominated. That's usually not the good thing the lonely think it would be. >>16976654That just means more business for morticians.
>>16976678It's the standard term in the United States but since none of the anons have mentioned their location, you might have a point elsewhere.
