I'm thinking I might just become a janitor and sit out this rat race.
You're from the city aren't you?
Yeah, it's hell
>immerse yourself in a media environment
>be surprised everyone is working in media
Stop getting tricked.

I am a professional hockey player, does that count?
>work as welder
>see other tradesman at work all day
Why is everyone a tradesman these days?
Well I have good news for you, I'm not what you consider real work, but I can assure you it exists outside the city.
On this day the faggotry of OP blots out the fucking sun.
I'm not against sports but I think they're blown out of proportion in our society
Why? I'm seeing all of my peers become part of the same sickness that is demoralizing people like me.
And they all make more money than you
Because your country got JEWED.com (tm).
In theory products and services are now more efficiently available ie your (((Economists))) are saying your country sucks at all the other jobs so you're left with these goy jobs to fill in. Everything else has been distributed to people who either do a better job than your country or can do it for a fraction of the price.
Oy vey.
Who are "people like you"?
Why does it demoralise you?
You fucking moron.
>Hello I'm an attention seeking OP, I want you to ask me for my fucking life story instead of just providing adequate context like a normal person would
Did I make fun of your job or something?
Define "real job"
Learn a trade my dude
I used to work at a Wall St. company as the guy who busted trades. All the brokers were Executive VPs of Investments or some such twaddle. Even the brand new ones who only had their Daddy's account under management. They hated me. I hated them.
What a sickening life it was. Every job I apply to now in every industry has some stupid title with the word marketing thrown in somehow. All paper-pushing, nebulous, what-the-fuck-does-that-even-mean jobs that are the epitome of our meaningless modernity.
Shepherd, cobbler, wheelwright, iron monger, farmer, hardware store guy, gigolo, janitor all sound real good right about now.
Well i'm trying to be a welder, still in HS but taking a trade skill course
My all-time favorite BS title position is Scrum Master. I read through the description on the job posting and still have no idea what the everloving fuck it is.
But if I ever meet one, I'm gonna kick his ass, Hank Hill style.
BTW, this is all why City Slickers is the most existentially important movie of our times. Drive cattle. Hang out with Jack Palance. Smoke Marlboros on a horse.
Exactly, thank you for vindicating me.
I want to become an antiquarian or something
>i dont understand tech so it must be all made up bullshit
I'm a welding inspector soo...
It's the leader for an aspect of the agile software development lifecycle you utter dullard.
You have still to provide an actual fucking discussion point.
Why does this bother you? Why does it demoralise you?
Are you even capable of expressing yourself on such a complex level?
I'm a "Stillman", i make single malt whisky for a living.
Meh, I'm an oldfag, but I'm as up to speed on it as I need to be. I buy tech stocks when the hype begins and short them at bubble phase.
But trust me, it is all part of (((their))) plan to make people utterly reliant on tech and the false life it leads to.
But please do go on to tell us how great life will be after the Singularity, oh sage Scrum Master neckbeard.
A few others ITT understood the implication of my post perfectly well. Apparently I didn't need to explain further to them.
Those are the real jobs. Selling your body to get a few shekels to survive and to help mr Goldberg become even richer is not a job, it's slavery.
YOU GREW UP IN A NICE NEIGHBORHOOD IN STABLE HOME AROUND PEOPLE WITH REAL JOBS. YOU'VE PROBABLY FAILED TO ACHIEVE THE SAME SUCCESS AS YOUR PARENTS, SO YOU ARE NOW SURROUNDED WITH NORMAL LOSERS.
START SAVING. ESCAPE YOUR HELL.
Thank you for your service ^_^

Kurzgesagt had a good video about this today
The end goal is for the only jobs to be political.

>Founder, President, and CEO of My Lemonade Stand Startup LLC
real life is now a quora thread.
some of those are real jobs
one of the frustrations people have is that they think jobs are "fake" when they are just alienated
read marx on alienation (one of the few things he was right about)
I have no idea. They sound like jobs for (((intelligent))) people. They produce nothing but tape and hot air. I cant go down that path I have personal integrity.
I have a real job. One of the oldest ones ever actually.

So you're an old retard, that's nothing to brag about.
Tech jobs are easy and pay too much, I make 120k a year to be a codemonkey for a week then jack off and play games for 3 months.
Yeah that's quite the life you've carved out for yourself. Life is too short, son, for zeros and ones, test tubes, and virtual reality. Fresh air, hard work, the blend of the physical, intellectual, artistic and spiritual is the key to life. It's not retarded to forego a life of keeping up with binary shit, esoteric codes that will eventually outstrip everyone's capacity to keep up with it. That is called wisdom.
Don't get me wrong, you need to make a good living. It's the way of the world. But in 10-20 years hence, when you have an existential crisis sitting in your commander chair, you'll understand.
This gal gets it.
Where they jewish?
>le manual labour is the only real type of work meme xDDD
Not everyone is an uneducated piece of shit who's back will be fucked by 40 like you
Is forming metal into bullets a real job? I love working on greasy machines. I'll probably never get really rich at it though.
>Juicero.txt
>Not everyone is an uneducated piece of shit who's back will be fucked by 40 like you
that is not the point, all jobs today are service and networking related, its more political that about creating value, I know from personal exp.
before jobs allowed you to speak your mind, now you have to walk on eggs on job place becouse they are the way OP described.
because OP we got so many jobs we need people to do jobs for those jobs, GOT IT?
Become a millwright
those are all woman jobs. they get cushy desk positions in air conditioned offices because they want to be "liberated" and have a career but dont actually want to do real work - mainly because they're physically or emotionally unable.. so companies bend over backwards to create these meme positions so womyn can have a place to work where they wont end up in tears after day 1. meanwhile men get to enjoy the benefits of working as underwater welders at an arctic oil rig. just don't mention the mortality rate, that's what hazard pay is for.
I'm a software developer for my state's government, developing applications that help the public in their everyday lives, does that count?
A faggoty ass ineficient weak soicety produced by capitalism and democracy.....what do you expect?!
Nigga don't try to talk tough, Scrum is a joke, a high school Sophomore could figure it out in a week and run the whole thing for less than an hour per day.
Used to do tech contract work at companies like Google and Amazon. Got outsourced and replaced by Indians. Forced out to "stable" work in private security making less money but at least they can't outsource it. This modern tech economy is really swell.
Centuries ago the majority of jobs were in agriculture, then in industry through the mechanical revolution, and now they've shifted to the service sector. Fewer people have "real jobs" because we've built robots that can do those same jobs 1000 times faster.
Those are all real jobs. Services take over in an advanced economy because we automate so much physical labor and institutions become increasingly complex.
But hey, there's a shortage of tradesmen if thats what you mean by "real job." Go get training and a certification, you'll make good money and live well in pretty much any city.
Many of these jobs are indeed bullshit, but most of all the job titles have all become bullshit even when it's a real job behind it. Technically I am a consultant in engineering design. I didn't know my actual job title one year after sarting and I had to ask the formal name to my +2 for a form.
It's funny how pretty much no one notices this. Bunch of bullshit jobs so we don't sit around shitting and farting all day.
Asia does almost all the real work. They're our bitches because the US has the best military and reserve currency.
That's my best estimate anyway.
There are trades nigga
>Those are all real jobs.
80% of those jobs are bs.
>It's funny how pretty much no one notices this. Bunch of bullshit jobs so we don't sit around shitting and farting all day.
and MEEEEEETING call!
its all bs, no wonder, its all about (((networking))) today and not about creating capital
Trade or engineering senpai
Yes I've worked for one and she seemed to fall into the "Professional Woman" category as outlined by OP. Moronic. And fuck agile. It's anything but.
Yes if any country steps out of line the CIA will fuck their shit up.

its quite sad that Wests economy is based on that instead of Godfearing enjoyable and fullfilling but at the same time hard work.

If a business doesnt have smth to show, dont trust it.
Henry Ford
About 40% Jewish and a whole lot of rich WASPs with names like Preston and Buffy. Decent amount of Asians (usually the nicest and easiest to work with).
80% strivers (some OK people mixed in there, but mostly not)
20% normal people who just fell into the job. Or went where the money was but hated it and got out after a bit.
This was late 90s, early 00s. No one falls into a Wall St. job anymore (tightened hiring standards after tech bubble bursting and subsequent recession. Now need a master's from Wharton to schlep coffee or sit at front desk), so asshole/striver % is probably damn near 100.
I think I get what you mean. Most common jobs nowadays don't offer satisfaction in the work or any level of pride in a job. I'm starting to think about becoming an artists cuss at least I'll leave a legacy other then McDick employee of the year.
Smug? Perhaps. Just somebody who figured it out a long time ago and won't back down. But clearly not a full Luddite, since I'm arguing with people on the computer.
But holy crap, there has never been a smugger creature than people who allow technology to become their raison d'etre and follow the religion of scientism.

Define real job.
Two hundred years ago, there were only three real jobs for a gentleman: army, church or politics.
People then would consider the jobs you consider to be real to be as stupid and cucked as the jobs you list.
Welcome to socialism
>aspect of the agile software development lifecycle
I rest my case. A made up title to make someone sound important. Read Politics in the English Language. It applies to the corporate world too.
Such wonk speak is "giving the appearance of solidity to pure wind."
I know truck drivers line workers forklift operators plumbers and unemployed college students/grads.
Three guesses who's doing better in life.
>But holy crap, there has never been a smugger creature than people who allow technology to become their raison d'etre and follow the religion of scientism.
I fail to see the difference between them and truck drivers who think they won't be replaced by computers.
The software industry is one of the easiest ways to make mad money right now, and to underestimate the industry's impact on society as a whole is wholeheartedly stupid and short-sighted.
no they didnt lol
a friend of mine is a recruiter at a recruitment company that recruits recruiters
they have beer in the fridge at work and don't get paid shit and do nothing
The truck driver's are getting rekt real soon, just like travel agents back in the day.
Not only that, but... Look, I'm going through LinkedIn and seeing the "jobs" all the people I knew from high school and college are doing... and I see the kind of shit in the OP. But the thing is, I know all of these people, I know how damaged they all are, and I see everyone trying to puff themselves up, and it's exactly the same thing that these prostitutes we call politicians and policy makers do--"Oh yes, I support LGBT rights and I donate to my local abortion clinic and I have Master's in whatever." Everyone is just posturing how much of a faggot they are. And I see all the girls I knew in college, remembering them whoring themselves out at parties, or throwing up into the sink, their disgusting dorm rooms and so forth, and are any of these women married or having children? Are any of them happy? No they just have all these bullshit careers and making sure that my tax dollars and my grandparents tax dollars are going to Paco or Jamal or Abdul who are then making public transportation and suburban neighborhoods uninhabitable. There's no place left to live, then, because everything is shops and urban development and shit. It's just sad to see.
Is that what activated almonds look like?
Software developing is actually useful compared to all of these other shit jobs you listed.
This is why I want to become a Janitor. So I can just write "Janitor" and then tell them to fuck off.
I don't underestimate it one iota.
But it is leading the world down a horrible path and is one of the big reasons we are living in dystopian times. Technology is increasingly enslaving man, not serving it. It leaves people devoid of purpose and function. Longer lives, but unhappier ones.
If you want to see the endgame of unchecked technology and scientism read That Hideous Strength by C.S. Lewis.

farmer as well
even the politicians play pretend farmer (horses, animals, tobacco etc.)
they are all already automated so its nothing but make work bullshit left
hopefully you're a jew, woman, minority, or chad because otherwise you are out in the cold

at least a generation away I would wager

I'm not sure what you're driving at, you can't stop technology. What's your alternative to this? From what I see, what's happening is inevitable.
Sounds interesting, I'll check that out.
Definitely. But all those liberals at their fake faggot jobs live in the city and pay $3000 a month to rent a studio apartment with their faggot friends. I'll take the trade job out of town.

AND YOUR SKILL IS OBSOLETE IN 5 YEARS...a great investment isnt it?
>STEMfags
nigga, you sound really wise-what do you do for a living? can you be broad, im not phishing anything, its 100% legal q.
its so telling of the shallowness of pol how they swallow STEM and programming and can look one stem from their ass
I'm a (((Service desk analyst))) meaning I'm a call center monkey handing out passwords to retards that don't know the difference between Shift and Caps Lock. They could outsource my job to a pajeet but the company knows their employees don't want to deal with them
According to what estimate?
>twenty years ago wireless phones weren't really a thing
>ten years ago wireless broadband wasn't a thing
>we have pocket computers with wireless broadband and self-driving cars today
I notice in America job title is very important
Ie a secretary will call herself an "Administrative Assistant"
A retail person will call themselves a "consumer specialist associate of communication and services" or some shit
Just like flying cars amirite
I doubt self-driving trucks will overtake truck driving even if they were well developed because let's face it, would you trust a computer to drive 26,000 lbs of cargo next to you going 60?
Not to mention the legal aspects, self driving cars are a thing right now but why haven't they been put on the road yet?
>AND YOUR SKILL IS OBSOLETE IN 5 YEARS...a great investment isnt it?
>protip: in the software engineering game you primarily get paid for the ability to learn new technologies fast
and
>implying the underlying concepts change
Guess how I figured you know jack shit about tech.
