if I work for the rest of summer I will pocket 7-8k USD. But I really stand to gain nothing else. I gleaned 90% of the training in my first week, and I'm grateful for what I've been able to learn. The work is tiring, sometimes dangerous, and mostly mindless.
I have 50k in crypto. I'm not a trader, but today for example I made 1500$ on a trade. When I'm at work, I don't have those opportunities.
I feel like my time can be better spent trading, expanding my knowledgebase, and scheming on the internet. Things that have cumulative benefit rather than this job which leaves me nothing but a paycheck after it's all said and done. Call it laziness but I really feel like I'm cucking myself with this job. I have a hard time saying no to people after I start things.
Everyone should have a job even if it's just tree trimming work. Trading fake money online has no honor. This work will also allow you to gain muscle and not sit and get fat so you can actually obtain a mate.

With that braindead logic I guess dying for Israel is a honorable job, huh?
Sounds based to me, you learn lots of things so you will find out where your actual interests lie

>nerve wracking as fuck, have anxiety all day about being asked to do something scary and endangering
Jesus christ what a pussy.

Listen up you fuck because I just went through this shit, and I'm basically you. At least work through it, and then quit. This suffering you're going through right now is growth, it's the pain of not being a NEET. Eventually you're going to suffer/work through it and actually get fit, and be in a slightly better place mentally.
Now this part is the key here, and something I fucked up on and want to bestow on you. Quit at that high point, and go back to school, or fucking do something to improve. Start a business. Keep chasing that high. Or this will just be another doomer venture chasing a feeling that doesn't exist. You and I both know given the chance you'll milk this job out until putting a bullet through your frontal lobe is a more desirable choice than getting out of bed on a Tuesday.

You need to build up capital in order to even TAKE the chance to be free with crypto/high leveraged plays on stocks.
The only reason why so many people made it with Bitcoin is because they held on when it was like $100 to $20,000.
Even going by that investment multiple^, you'd still need an initial investment of $5,000 to make 1 million dollars.
Making money is hard when you're not the house in the Jewish casino.
The only other alternative is to wageslave for 20 years and use compounding interest/boomerstock portfolio, but that's a great way to destroy your youth.
Christopher Young
Yeah exactly. I feel like a piece of shit slothing around at home all day while everyone else works. It's not like crypto is reliable income either.
But the job does nothing for muscle. I'm already extremely Jow Forums, if anything I'm losing muscle from burning so many cals
I never drove a standard transmission vehicle in my life. The boss throws me in one, has me drive it around the lot for 20 minutes to learn. Then sends me off alone with a fucking 20,000 pound load of wood in the back, no tailgate, all the logs jostling around with cars behind me
Noah Thomas
if you're under 22 you should do it to get some masculin skills. above that age i wouldn't honestly.
Nathaniel Green
Stand in the ashes of a trillion dead wagied and ask their ghosts if honor matters. The silence is your answer.
Austin Torres
Where is the high point? I've worked physical jobs before
it's pathetic. But surprisingly satisfying in many regards
Justin Wood
Bingo. If you can make money legally, do it. Simple.
After 2008/2009 nobody should feel obliged by any honour based system in the society we live in. The Jews got bailed out, and then given TRILLIONS of dollars directly out of the Fed for their fuck up.

>Where is the high point Being in shape does give a slightly better amount of dopamine regulation. Just a slightly better quality of life, combined with confidence. It's nice when women start to notice and appreciate your body, but you really start to learn a pecking order of respect men give you when you're noticeably in better shape than them.
The high point is when you feel in shape, feel confident on the job, and learn a few masculine skills like suggested. When you feel like it's becoming a paycheck just to wage, it's time to leave. Right now you're still clearly learning and growing or you wouldn't have this anxiety over your ability. You'll know.
William Fisher
oh here's another factor:
my commute is 30 minutes each way. My exhaust pipe apparently fell out of my car recently. I need earmuffs to drive, not to mention the other risks. My inspection sticker is 1 year expired. Basically I'm fucked.
The boss has a car lift in his shop and he said I can use it anytime. But most of this shit needs to be done by a professional. I really shouldn't be driving around anymore. I'd have to take my car off the road for another week probsbly
Jose Morales
good post. Don't get it twisted, though. I'm not a fat smelly NEET. I've been gymceling for 8 years and my body stands out. Manual labor jobs detract from my ability to maintain it at this point.
I've worked physical jobs before. It's why I'm so old and still in college. Landscaping, carpentry, freight, etc. The biggest thing I'm grappling with now is my anxiety. I deal with it my entire life. Whether the job will help or not, I don't know. As far as masculine skills, I learned enough last week to say I know how to do all this shit. So given this, would you say I should fuck off?
Connor Murphy
Welp son, it's time to learn how to weld and shop at autozone. You can buy piping relatively cheap there and put together something yourself(probably cheaper if you shop around online too). That's the type of skills these jobs teach you. I've never had to weld on the job before but I have the confidence to youtube this shit and figure it out on my own now.
I'm not trying to put you down as a smelly ol' neety, just kind of verbally catering to the Jow Forums audience. Or perhaps that own little cunt in the back of my head.
Brody Jenkins
Thanks user. I still think I'm going to quit though
Tyler Walker
Work the summer and buy one whole btc. It will retest the 6k floor in the coming months
Nathan Barnes
have sex
die for Israel
Jackson Long
Godspeed then user, just trying to impart some regrets of mine, that I wish I would have leveraged more. I'm still sorta doomer though so maybe another path would be more successful anyway.
Austin Lee
Installing a muffler is piss easy. All you need to do is remove the old one with an angle grinder, and then attach a new one (or just one from a junkyard that fits).
You don't even need to know how to weld, just use one of these clamps.
