I work minimum wage and live in a house with a ton of other people. I have very little future prospects and my town is crawling with homeless.
Trying to pull myself out of poverty is proving to be difficult. It's like the system is designed to make us poor.
there are no jobs anymore it's crazy, as a yong person I have no future.
Hudson Barnes
Yup. Underemployed and Overqualified. C'est la vie. Expect no home ownership, retirement, pension or privacy for this generation.
Mason Williams
It use to be really easy and now it isn't. You have to get a valuable skill. Since your on here you are probably a nerd self teach yourself computer shit, instead of smoking weed.
I'm poor but its quite clean how to fix it I just can't be fucked.
Chase Stewart
clean = clear.
fuck
Owen Lewis
yeah I don't expect to own a home ever in my life time.
Tyler Brown
Is it though? What about people who have the skills but still aren't being employed?
>well you should get experience then
But nowhere will employ me?
>Then get a menial job, we all start somewhere
But I'm overqualified
>You're not trying
Fuck off.
repeat ad nauseum.
Been like this for a year.
Andrew Taylor
What skill do you actually have the degree isn't a skill. What result can you deliever to an employer?
They taught us wrong and everyone doesn't know what to do, but its obvious if you think about it.
Caleb Bailey
Even with a valuable skill, getting meaningful employment is proving to be difficult. I bothered to go to trade school because I was always lower class/poor. My problem is that they always want people with more work experience. What am I supposed to do, intern? Volunteer? I already work a full time retail job to have some money.
Jackson Anderson
have you tried finding any warehouse jobs?
Leo Hernandez
we talk like slaves.
america used to be about starting a business and being a business own but now we talk about going into debt in a stressful school environment so we can work for pennies on the dollar for an employer.
My parents tell me stories of when a small business ownership was a viable career path unlike the 95% failure rate of today and about how a grocery store clerk made enough to buy a house and feed a family of four.
Thomas Fisher
Don't get me wrong its shit. People are just scabs about employment as well.
What is your skill?
Adrian Parker
FUCK THAT, every warehouse I ever worked at made me work 12 hours shifts 5-6 days a week at night, I'm so sick of that shit man
Brandon Kelly
Auto mechanic. I'm thinking my problem is that I live in an urban area, and there's just too much competition with the dealerships. I should move to the middle of nowhere, but then chances are people can just fix their own damn cars.
Ian Lee
The research skills from an MA should be enough to get into any simple data churning role. Fuck me, most of the work these fuckwits are proposing for me to do are a piece of piss.
Write an article of 100 words about a charity? Fuck me mate, I can do that In 10 minutes, and you're giving me three days? What the fuck.
But to them I'm 'overqualified'.
I volunteer at a homeless charity five days a week as I'm unemployed. If working with smackheads and people who want to steal from you on a minute by minute basis isn't developing character I have no idea what will.
Michael Morris
Most warehouse jobs in my area go through temp agencies and you pretty much wait for old fuck that won't retire to retire. Manufacturing industry and warehousing is a mess right now for the young generation. At least in Ohio.
Robert Hill
man what skill are you talking about
machines do all the real work now days
all there is now is clerking and cash registering, token human jobs in a mostly machine factory, and other minimum wage shit.
either that or you lucked out and are a bureaucrat for a huge government or cooperation.
Dominic Myers
yep. poor as dirt. i came from a poor family, so took out student loans and went to university to study mathematics. got my degree and happened to get 3 years analytics experience (programming too) while finishing my undergrad, yet i cant find a job that pays above minimum wage.
i now work part-time as a researcher in data analysis for the same research group and i bus tables at a crappy bar/restaurant.
i apply to jobs all the time but never even hear back. im 27 and have literally nothing but debt to my name.
Thomas Bennett
We are post labor. You just need to sit tight and wait for society to catch up.
Angel Hill
oh and i make minimum wage at both jobs.
ahaha please give me cancer.
Jason Wright
I've made a pact with myself. If my life isn't in a more positive state by the time I am 25 (3 months), I will throw myself off this building.
Adrian Gomez
You don't seem to want to get out of your shit situation enough to join the military
drink bleach faggot
Zachary Smith
I'll be honest with you I have never met a wealthy mechanic.
I'm too dumb to even no the kinda jobs your talking about. Writing copy for products or some shit?
Think about it from the perspective of an employer. What makes them money? How are you going to make them money. Can you demonstrate this in anyway? That's what they are looking for. You play the game. You tell them you are ambitious, that you like to compete to be the most productive worker, blah blah. You sell yourself as the ideal drone and they hire you over the other 500.
Connor Foster
we need to do something, obviously the system has failed us and the system is growing to become world wide

Sebastian Walker
My plan was to join the military.
It's just fucked up the elites have arranged it that unless you are killing other people to further their slavery system, you get nothing but constant menial labor.
Tyler Fisher
My last hope hinges on that I can finish my compsci education, then I might hit middle class. If not, I'll be nigger-tier poor the rest of my life.

Dylan Martin
I was in your position OP but i'm in school and have some promising prospects
If you're intelligent and you know it then go to school and succeed trust in your own ability, also you can get money to go to school since you're poor
Also best advice, go completely sober, use your sober and clear mind to do something creative with a hobby to keep yourself happy and motivated
Good luck
Wyatt James

Dylan Edwards
I make 45k a year and I'm broke! Insurance is like $400 a month for me.
Hunter Reed
You know the solution.
Grayson Garcia
Because he works for nothing out at some mine (this was ages ago) he can't into electrician. The retard was a machine operator of some sort. I did get lit up some guy I knew did.
Evan Green
>World only needs so many electricians. Everything around you either runs on or produced using electricity. Yes, even the memes. So praise Kek by becoming an electrician.
Brayden Richardson
Yeah you are overqualified then. Businesses aren't going to hire you if they know you're going to be actively searching for a better job... just to train you and pay you and have you leave.
Apply for jobs that you are qualified for?
Jose Ward
I had an idea.
A society, government, or system, whatever word best conveys the meaning, where 3-4 years service in the military guarantees you a 4 acre plot of land and the focus of the society is on physical self sufficiency.
Government programs to teach you how to install wells and gardens and solar panels, that sort of thing.
WE can inject wealth back into society by making a society where the individual member is immune form the mechanization of the larger system surrounding him.
Ayden Howard
No the secret is to lie.
Julian Martin
Care to elaborate?
Jacob Gonzalez
Because, sadly, 70% of today's jobs either can be done by retards or outsourced to bumfucknowhere.
Brayden Collins
>The retard was a machine operator of some sort. I did get lit up some guy I knew did. What the fuck did i just read?
Chase Hernandez
Because the system desire s to dominate the stupid and feed off them as parasites.
I'm sure the elites would all be very happy if we all woke up retarded one day.
Sebastian Baker
Didnt get lit up, some guy I knew did.
Jason Cooper
Money isnt wealth, those products are churned out regardless of fiat money. The individuals value to the system is to consume, thats it. Jobs as a necessity are a simple side effect of the system being less than perfect. Ideally people would be spending 100% of their time consuming with out need to earn anything, and spending money as fast as they could click buy. This would turn the wheels of progress optimally.
Christian Thompson
hell, we could even build sky scrapers with modular units that were all self sufficient and provided their own electricity and food with auqa ponics.
Jack Reed
do you have to be strong physically to start the whole welding thing? there's a lot online about how it's a good career.
problem is that i'm 5'9" and 125lbs with bitch wrists.
i wish i was strong and brave enough to be a police officer or firefighter, they do such a good job.
Andrew Hall
Who pays for it? Who is the tax base? Military service isn't really that valuable unless it funds you economy through plunder like rome.
Leo Robinson
you'll be breathing in harmful chemicals and also the UV rays are a lot more persistent than you would think wearing just a mask
Jeremiah Rivera
>We are to the point where we require fewer than 8 hours a day from every person to provide all our needs AND wants. Define 'our'.
Asher Edwards
The civilized world.
David Hernandez
I know money isn't wealth, I was saying the security and utility of self sufficient housing for all is wealth.
If an individuals only value is to consume and not produce, he has to find a way to live as a parasite, which only the privileged elite are allowed to do.
People have no way of producing now, they are forced to consume and serve, but cannot create, cannot grow food, cannot make shelters, cannot do anything.
our society allows servitude and consumption.
it does not allow for creation or production of wealth unless you are a major cooperation.
Your notion of progress is simply another word for optimization.
A few powerful people are optimizing the system for themselves by making us serve.
Do not forget we are all in competition with one another, not here to work together.
Lincoln Jenkins
Military service is valuable because you can give them occupational specialties most which revolve around building self sufficient homes and educating people on maintaining them.
The wealth is that everyone is there own producer of goods.
WE could tax them for their electricity and make power itself the currency rather than fiat money.
Noah Cook
Great, even more ambiguity!
Jason Hill
The problem is that, as you identify, only a few are allowed to simply consume now. This is a social problem and not one to do with actual resource or labor requirements. The capitalist/consumerism solution is UBI.
Caleb Wood
People cannot consume indefinitely because consuming is not seen as valuable because it produces nothing of use.
you can't be paid to consume.
and the elites would never allow a universal basic income while their machines did all the work.
the self sufficiency and production entitles all men to adequate provisions and security of household.
Mason Powell
Seems north korea tier. No real wealth in doing that. I could be wrong.
Parker Cook
the social problem is the imbalance of power.
A consumer has no skills beyond that which feeds him.
take away the societies skills and turn them consumers and they have no leverage to justify their consumption in the eyes of the producers who hold all power by their means of the control of production.
If I was the man in charge of feeding humanity with my machines and they offered me nothing in exchange, I would turn off my machines and they would starve.
Luke Jones
>become a engineer >aka a construction worker t. autist who thinks 10 years of education is worth 30k a year

No cause then they would come for you. You would sterilise them through your food and solve the problem in a generation
Leo Lopez
Some areas don't have much, like dying towns. Very few openings at all where I'm at, but at least managed to get summer jobs so I could avoid student debt. Granted, it was at a Popsicle factory, but $2500 towards college is still helpful.
Gabriel Powell
When you say overqualified you surely don't mean any social studies degree, do you?
Wyatt Hernandez
> The capitalist/consumerism solution is UBI. No. The capitalist/consumerism solution is to drop you as dead weight and have an economy completely separate from yours that you get nothing from. Probably move to a different planet and leave you behind.
Jeremiah Davis
The reasoning behind military service justifying land ownership is that in reality all forms of private property are determined by those with force.
You own that simply because the court and police and military will enforce your claim.
Money, especially fiat money, is representative of the military power of the nation.
All society is predicated on the threat of violence.
By making all people members of the military it would insure that a division of power does not occur in the society, as it has with our division of wealth.
you can cite north korea but I would cite switzerland and their nation of citizen soldiers.
Anthony Nelson
What is something of use? There are plenty of things people buy every day only because they want them, not because they need them or because they do anything particularaly meaningful, but simply on a whim, or because society has told them they want that thing. These are things of fabricated value, not real value. Though fabricated value is legitimate all the same.
>consuming is not seen as valuable because it produces nothing of use.
The consumption itself is of use, it turns the cycle. Money is like a vote, people buy things and that means more of humanities collective resources can be put into creating more/better versions of that thing. With out consumers the entire system grinds to a halt. With out consumers the machines wouldn't need to do any work, they could just be turned off. With out consumers there is no reason for anything in the entire universe to exist.
The elites status as owners of said machines is only meaningful if those machines are useful for something, and they are only useful if people are consuming what those machines create, therefore if consumers can not consume, the elite as just as screwed as everyone else.
Noah Gutierrez
So basically starship troopers
Alexander Clark
perhaps we will see that occurring in the future.
Gabriel Robinson
Labor requirements are a percentage, not absolute. Fewer people means fewer need until there is only one living person left, running the machines that provide everything for him.
UBI is the capitalist solution.
Michael Scott
And often,people don't to be told they need something. See all the anime figures that get next to no advertising. Often, an interest is enough.
Christopher King
I am 30 I own several properties. My mothly income far surpasses what most people get. I started with nothing. You have to take risks with the cash you can save and live like a monk the first years but its possible. to achieve great things.
I just think people spend money on too much shit like phones/food/vacation/cars/clothes instead of investing it in property and stocks.
Henry Miller
>The consumption itself is of use You're literally saying that the rich should give you money so that you could give it back to them because "it turns the cycle". Why should they not simply exclude you from the cycle?
Luis Turner
Its my pet theory. Automation takes the jobs. Labor becomes worthless. Ownership of resources is the only currency. If you don't own shit they get rid of you via sterilisation. They might even give you UBI to make it seem cool.
Think elysium where all the cunts on the earth are gone in a generation. And the rich cunts on the space station inherit the earth.
Kayden Price
>Labor requirements are a percentage, not absolute. This sentence doesn't actually mean anything.
>Fewer people means fewer need So what?
>until there is only one living person left, running the machines that provide everything for him. If it really reaches a point where humans aren't needed for anything at all because literally everything is done by machines, then we can talk about redistributing the produced resources equally because everybody is equally useless. But not before.
Benjamin Green

Nice slide thread you kike, I noticed the same exact thread on the same page....something you're trying to hide?
Liam Kelly
Costumers can consume nothing if they cannot make any money and you cannot make money by consuming.
"Oh tank you! Giant Fatman! for eating what I have grown, for in doing so you have enlightened me that you prefer chips to ice cream!"
There is only value to the individual consumer in consumption, no value to the society, because you provide nothing to the other members, you simply drain their resources and labor.
By everyman producing what they themselves consume we can guarantee that everyone has what they need and an abundance of it.
Ayden Hughes
produced goods*
Asher Diaz
>You're literally saying that the rich should give you money so that you could give it back to them because "it turns the cycle Yes >Why should they not simply exclude you from the cycle? That would lead to human extinction, as i explained labor is a percentage of total population, not a fixed value, as technology advances we need less and less of it, until eventually, presumably, we would need none at all. What then?
We can abandon the idea that we use capitalism to govern our resources. We can get rid of authority over resources being divided up and then people voting for what they get spent on by consuming, or we can go to some sort of weird socialist system where a computer somewhere just distributes everything for us. I tend to trust the idea of a market with people buying the things they feel they want and need rather than everything just being distributed.
There would still be a sort of limited earned currency, one of prestige or popularity. Humans would never organize themselves in a perfectly uniform social system, but it would not be one that involved work for resource management as we currently have.

First and foremost I wish you the best OP and I hope you rise up from the current situation.
Anywhere around the world the only type of preparation/professional training that can be considered cost effective these days are the so called "trades" or technical training: things like welder, technician of sorts, etc. College is fucking overkill and will drain you of your money for little to no return. This is all I can say.

This is just a reverse of the current advice. Too many uni fags get a trade. But ages ago there were no uni fags and it was good advice at one time. If everyone did it in 10 years welders make minimum wage.

>and you cannot make money by consuming. There is nothing physically preventing this, only ideologically. You have discovered the problem.
>"Oh tank you! Giant Fatman! for eating what I have grown, for in doing so you have enlightened me that you prefer chips to ice cream!" And thus mankinds collective chip technology progresses, as directed by the collective will.
>There is only value to the individual consumer in consumption, no value to the society, Its the way society as a whole decides what mankind's resources get spent on, in this case chips!
Everyone being a tiny self sufficient microcosm is a terrible idea. More value is produced in larger markets.
Jayden Peterson
>+research the company and prove interest beyond the money check >+clean your profiles unsure what that means, they already looked over my cover letter and shit if that's what you mean >+clean up (pressed clothes and the like) shaving and getting a haircut prior >+review terms and knowledge of your relevant skills good idea
Jace Davis
If we had a system where the group (military) enforced and built up the right and capability of the individual to own their own land and provide for themselves through self sufficiency, we would solve the problems of labor becoming obsolete in the face of automation, and we would justify the consumption and be able to provide for the consumption of a growing economy whose only value is diminishing rapidly.
and despite what that other user says, I don't see a future where"consumer" is a viable job profession.
Those who own the machines and do not need us any longer will simply find a way to exclude us and eliminate us form the system.
currently the globalist system has exported cities and their surveillance around the world, honestly we are being led like cows to slaughter.

Please Read OP or any other American. You need a product and you need one that has very low overhead and no start up cost.

Get a Buffer, hand held battery operated. Check what polishing disk you need and the cleaning paste that has no water, and start a business by cleaning headlights of people's cars, you know the build up that makes older cars look older, offering people for $10 or $20 bucks you'll clean their headlights while they are at work, or just walk place to place offering a Service. Look as professional as your means will allow. Comb your hair. Offer your services to car lots, individual s, companies, Anyone! Keep going. Do one more car!
I promise you'll make more per hour cleaning headlights on cars than you'll ever make for someone else.

they would rather see us poor and destitute than being paid to consume the things they produce.
