How do you get back in the workforce after this? I literally have years of blank space on my resume. What jobs can I enter even with this kind of handicap? My social skills are also shot and a bit off. I'll probably wouldn't have smooth random interviews. The only thing I'm not lacking on is money. I can go back to uni and finish another degree or get a Master's with no issue or even move to a different city overnight. Are there any courses that will guarantee me a futureproof job at this point? Though I doubt any education nowadays is worth much.
tl;dr how do you become productive after being an unemployed wealthy NEET for years.
Why would you get a job working for someone when you have the capital to create a business from scratch?
Nathan Reed
be honest.
Tell em the truth.

Get a nepotism job, your family probably has connections somewhere.
Thomas Watson
If your family doesn't have a charitable foundation insist that it set one up. Pay yourself a modest salary to run it
Leo Lopez
My parents are a bit of toxic narcissists. I don't like doing anything under them because they become control freaks.
I'm not really sure how far sympathy is considered in job interviews
I could do that though I don't have any business idea I really want to go for and it's too much of a commitment (you need to make it work or it will be a huge waste of money) compared to just getting a salary.
You could have me out. I have a genius idea that could change the world. Just send me your throwaway email and Ill email you.

>What jobs can I enter even with this kind of handicap? Shit where you have some freedom with your schedule and workflow. >Are there any courses that will guarantee me a futureproof job at this point? These don't exist. >how do you become productive By producing something. What the fuck do you actually want to do with your life? You approach the whole thing like some brainwashed wagecuck. Is this really not a larp?
Find something you love to do, THEN consider in what ways you could monetize it.
Colton Jackson
Not a serious reply but I'm feeling a connection I think were soulmates.

I'm on Jow Forums after all not exactly self motivated goal oriented right now. Mental illness fucked me up a bit I think I may have depersonalization and depression coming off schizophrenia. Nothing is really pleasurable. How do you find something to do?
Jaxson Perez
So the issue that employers will have isn't that you've taken a couple years off. The issue will be the fact that you have schizophrenia. Is it obvious, or is it under control w/ meds?
There are some coding bootcamps that will basically guarantee a decent paying job - just be prepared to be looked down on by 'real programmers' for a few years afterwards.
Honestly, if money isn't an issue I'd just volunteer at places (tons of options). It's probably a more 'productive' use of your time than fucking around in an office somewhere. Even if you just use it to practice social skills and stuff while you figure out what you want to do for a real job.
Josiah Ortiz
>Nothing is really pleasurable. Not even in theory? What was pleasurable in the past? What do the people you like/respect do? You can approach it from the other side and start by finding things you'd absolutely hate to do but that seems rather tedious and together with depression there is a chance you'd include too many.
Maybe getting another degree or master's would be a bad call then, mostly to get back on track, socialize and getting fresh ideas.
Owen Morgan
I am medicated now so it's not really a glaring issue.
Isaac Watson
if money is not an issue and you just want to work, get a degree in a field that is so high in demand, that most of the employers can't afford to reject the applicants for minor reasons. a degree in nursing for example.
Jeremiah Perry
Get into medicine, start a business, start a meaningful project for the world, get into politics. What are you good at? What makes you happy? Endless possibilities....
Jackson Jones
Do volunteer work. You don't need the money and will be doing more good than lining some other guys pockets. Also it will be great PR for your family.
Jeremiah Anderson
Well, you could always do a master only for being able to teach at a community college somewhere in the midwest but you will not be tenure track as most people want a PhD or amazing background experience on the field. As well the volunteer route some anons say is right.
Angel Roberts
You're Jewish?
Kayden Peterson
I am not ch*sen people. Maybe I would have had more nepotism and fast tracked careers if I was.
Jose Jones
Can you list some? Probably not medicine because you're going to inevitably wipe the ass of some flatulent homeless guy at some point.
