I've been unemployed the last 2 months and the NEET life is alright but I just accepted a job offer today. My previous jobs were in shipping and receiving, first as just a regular grunt and next as a global manager for the company coordinating shipments and containers.
It's another shipping and receiving job but this time in an aerospace manufacturing company so everything is incredibly high precision and I'd also be apprenticing as a machinist. I'm a bit out of my element but have the ability to adapt to the situation and I was a semester away from a welding degree before I got tired of school.
Starting off at 22/hour with a pay increase after a 2 week evaluation, it'll be fucking early in the morning though so I'll be waking up at 5 leaving at 2, very light traffic at those times and it gives me some time at the beginning and end of the day for winding down with podcasts
That sounds like a sweet setup. Isn't there a shortage of machinists and welders?
Kayden Brown
Yes that seems to be the trend since everyone our age growing up was told that those were going to be automated away and not worth taking.
There's a nationwide shortage of truck drivers that would let you work wherever you want
Charles Harris
CNC jobs are comfy user. Good luck. I'm with the company for the last 5 years and have my own separate room with my own machine and I also do all the CAD stuff by myself so I can let my autism flow. It's the only perk of this life.
Your life just sounds so sad. Poor baby. Whaa waaaaa waaa

>still no income >debt keeps increasing >keep getting auto-turned-down for jobs I qualify for >not a single phonecall or interview for a month now despite sending about 45-50 applications >don't know what the fuck even I have a degree and 22 is what I got after an entire year of experience. What a fucking scam.

I live in Seattle so I don't know what your rent is but I'm paying 470/mo just for a bedroom in a house with 3 other people
There was a shortage of people willing to work with their hands. It's as simple as that. I actually only have high school and that high school was art focused. t. incel zoomer Pretty good actually. I essentially live inside a national park.
Noah Mitchell
I pay 3 times that.

28, been thinking about suicide all the time lately. Need to throw out a lot of things. >unemployed for a year >BS EE and a year of experience, can't even get an interview >khhv There's literally no point in being alive.

Just negotiated a schedule where I only have to work three 14 hour days instead of six ten hour days. Still earning a decent amount and have time for drinking or hobbies. Also got an opportunity to do private catering with two other coworkers for wealthy clientele. This year is finally changing for the better.

>>Pretty good actually. I essentially live inside a national park. I'm jelly, I live in flyover country. There's a nearby city, there's lots of suburbs, and there's cornfields and cow pastures. That's it for hundreds of miles around. It's all completely flat.
Mason Reed
Any board game stores nearby?
Jeremiah Rogers
one close by that I've never been to, one quite a drive away that I used to go to with some people I knew. but of said people some moved away and the rest don't /tg/ anymore.
I know that technically the solution to that is to show up anyway and try to get in on stuff, but I'm not sure I have the balls to do that. Especially because my group never bothered to keep up with the trendy new stuff, we just played D&D 3.0 (and later Pathfinder) year after year. I'm pretty sure whatever is popular now is something I haven't even heard of.
Jack Wright
So I thought I could finally leave this place. I got my shit together and went back to grad school, did really well my first semester, better than I've ever done in my life, and I made a really fantastic, close-knit group of friends.
Now my best friend has cut off all communication with me because I made an offensive comment. Because of that I'm not getting invited to anything in the group any more and I'm more lonely than I've ever felt in my life. Back to drinking beer every night and smoking weed to get myself to sleep.
You'd be surprised, no harm going in and checking out the schedule. Worse that could happen is you out-outcast the people at the outcast store but then just find a game you can play solo
Henry Martin
Anybody want to play Apex? I'm pretty shit
Wyatt Morris
bumping this shit mainly as a protest.
Jacob Watson
you're probably gone, but i really am happy for you.
Austin Hernandez
Anyone gone to the bars alone. I'm too cowardly but I can convince myself to do it if someone tells me how I'm supposed to act
Jeremiah Harris
I finally worked up the courage to do it. It's pretty cool if you don't pick a dance club or fast-paced bar. You just sit there and drink. Mess with your phone if you want. People ignore you, which is no different than the rest of my life.
Xavier Murphy
Not the answer I was hoping for desu
Lincoln Torres
Do you know what kind of beer you like?
Jayden Walker
Wheat or sours why

Well it has it's disadvantages. As I get closer to my 30th birthday I feel more and more desire to finally meet someone nice and settle down. That's pretty hard to do when you live in the middle of nowhere. Also I refuse to move to a big city and girls love cities so that makes the chance even slimmer.
