One that isn't fun.

One that puts you into office, sit all day and just do what the upper people tells you to do.

Creativity is bad goy

nice objective definition there, friendo. really nailed down the concept of a "real job."
Is destroying the West a real job?

a real job is the one that allows you to earn and save enough money to provide for yourself
even gay hipster attire designer can be real job if you earn enough money from that

Is it fun?

The job market is like any market. There is supply and demand. The things society deems important as goods or services create demand. The supply is the workforce. The demand for a burger flipper is high, but a stoned 15 year old can (and does) do that job just fine. The demand for engineers, CEOs, lawyers, rocket surgeons, etc can vary a bunch, but those jobs aren't easy. 99%+ of the population can't do those. As a result of this compensation is directly proportional to the difficulty and demand of society. A "real job" is one that makes good money or contributes heavily to GDP.

>a real job is the one that allows you to earn and save enough money to provide for yourself

I wonder how many people 18 - 30 can expect these over the next two decades?

OP asked a question and I answered it, no need to be so upset.
People usually say "Get a real job" to musicians, artists, performers, or people in any non-steady occupation. It can either mean they're sick of supporting him financially until he "realizes his dream" or they're jealous he has a job that isn't a soul-crushing grind.

my job is being jesus

I was making 50k a year when I was 20 with no degree. Those 18-30 year olds should try not being lazy, dumb, useless fucks.

Something that can provide for you and your family.

Making or judging presentations.. not a real job but a waste of time

It means help out society instead of smoking weed all day.

I live in a rural town with a 30% unemployment rate, and a fire department that is comically understaffed.

What were you doing?

Based

Something that a learning disabled 15 year old with no job skills couldn't do.

Something like this where you get paid to shit post and play vidya but get payed a living wage.

My real job is ticket sales and announcements, but my location is mostly devoid of any passengers except during morning peak.

Shut the fuck up faggot dadrocker.

>When people say, "get a real job", what do they mean?
A job that any idiot off the street can't learn to do in about a day. These jobs are usually minimum wage and very low requirements for intelligence and know how, but with full time hours instead. And produce very little value to actual society or civilization compared to ACTUAL jobs that require at the very least a little bit of education, technical understanding etc. and/or lots of experience in a field.
So they are absolutely right, being a barista is a job but not what you would consider a real job, because any jackass including a dumb teenager can instantly replace you off the street in about 1-2 days of training eventhough you maybe worked there for 10 years, that's what they mean.

Who is upset? Yeah it was a snarky answer to your snarky answer to a waffly, vague, silly question. But nobody is upset here!

Damn, I wouldn't mind a Metro job.

Directional driller.
Start as an MWD.
Do rotary drilling school and well control.

Fast food/retail/no skill jobs are for 16 to 24 year olds just entering the workforce or working though school. If you are in your late 20s+ then you have failed to move on from the beginner course.

I was working in game dev as graphic mod,level,final...you name it
For 8years at 3 compaines
And its always the same...all game dev memes are TRUE
Its like mining bitcoins..a fucking ponzi
When asked what is my job...I always said i work with 'computers'

Fyi this job requires no education.

> Work at maccas while studying my nursing degree, on 26/hr

> Tfw your American buddies are on 8/hr or less for this shit with really only their rent, fuel, and utilities being cheaper.
> Finish nursing degree. Lucky enough to get a grad year. As a grad nurse I'm on 24/hr to literally wipe asses, insert catheters, wash people, and make beds.
> Life expenses happen and the promise of a later ~34/hr proves too elusive.

> Get a promo and move into the office. Sell tickets and watch Netflix/shitpost for 34/hr.
> In debt 17k for something I'll now never use. Still cant afford the median million dollar house price because they're all owned by boomers and chinks

I'm an ancap, so I would say producing something that another person wants, whether it be a good or service. The more of the market that is satisfied the merrier. If you are providing value, you are working a "real" job.
I like the phrase, "reduce unnecessary suffering", so I'd consider that a "real" job.

>A job that any idiot off the street can't learn to do in about a day
You'd be surprised what people can't learn in a day.
Times when I order a subordinate to sweep up and they grab the mop instead, I fear we are already dead.

it's slave lingo , it means forget about your dreams and be a good cog for the machine that will grind your life to dust

Pic related as I shit post on my phone

Some craft. Producing something that will make an impact. There are no real jobs in service industry, everything from flipping burgers up to top management is pure, soulcrushing depression

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on Sup Forums by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is Sup Forums. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches.

provide so much value to other people that they want to pay you for it.
and now you see why a $15 minimum wage for burger flippers is idiotic. because they don't provide that value.

>t. George Soros and Co.

A job that you can support a family on you fucking retard

a real job is social marketing expert
a real job is brand ambassador
a real job is trading with china
a real job is sell psychoactive drugs to children
a real job is making sex appeal
a real job is forging spreadsheets
a real job is collapsing economies ever 9 years
a real job is data mining
a real job is real estate scamming
a real job is raising rent on peasants
a real job is paying illegals low wages
a real job is brainwashing children for the state

A job that you can support a family on you fucking retard

The poison those restaurants sell shouldn't even be allowed.

I refuse to work at anything but a real job, that's why I'm unemployed

Anything that requires you to make outbound phone calls. Not as your entire job (telemarketer), but occasionally in order to report to and request information from partners/clients/managers/customers.

Anything that pays you enough to live on your own. I think $15 an hour is the minimum.

Something that was shipped to a Chinese factory or Indian call center a generation ago. Old people are horribly out of touch.

they used to exist in the old days. before the dark times. before the emperor.

Let me guess, either unemployed dumbass graduating in some dead end sjw degrees that nobody wants to hire you based on, or a current student. Either way you're a dumbass little brat that don't know what you're talking about and refuse to keep your mouth shut.

Obviously a job where you produce more than you cost. The kind of job that would still be around without taxation to pay the salary.

I don't give a fuck though, I will work for the government because I refuse to add value to a corrupt socialist system but I still need money to survive. Might as well collapse the system just a little bit faster.

they used to exist in the old days. before the dark times. before the emperor. They're a financial shield that binds and surrounds us.

They're a financial shield that binds and surrounds us.

Not working in hospitality.

>do 4 years of uni so i can get "real job"
>get rejected from "real jobs" because theres 50000 other graduates desperate to get the same "real jobs"
>now working dead end job hoping ill find a breakthrough some day if not kill myself

According to the people who actually say "get a real job", it normally means that for a job to be a real job, you must suffer during it. Normally it's people 50+ who had shitty lives that get angry at people earning more by doing less who go on about 'real jobs'.

It means they're jealous/angry someone doesn't live literally to work like they do

holy shit george, calm the fuck down.

anything that provides value to other people is a real job. If you're getting paid then you are providing value. Even the retard/incredibly old/downie greeters at walmart are providing value to that organization by helping them to provide good pr for their company

If someone tells you to "get a real job" when you're doing something that pays you money then they're a moron

a job that isn't normal done by a 16 year old

usually some fucking UNI shit

why isn't anyone mentioning military? they'll take just about anyone and train you in a technical trade on their dime.

of course you can also go the grunt route too

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

I work as a light tech. I've been involved in productions ranging from kindergarden plays to international artists. I work upwarda of 40hrs in a regular week, usually more.

I get frequently told to get a real job.

don't know, never had a real job.

>what is a real job
literally anything other than posting your shitty slide/infogathering/subversion threads on this humble forum every day.
a real job doesn't even have to be paid. just stop shitting up this board with your low-IQ bait.
get a real job, OP. then either lurk moar or kys.

i sold drugs too, nothing to brag about

what major?

Crown?

yeah.

LMAO! This. People have been so brainwashed nowadays that working in an office is a "real job". Newsflash: trades, farming and skilled jobs earn mote money than sitting around a fay
Heck office jobs are so boring that I'd rather kill myself than waste every living breath of my existence trapped in a cubicle doing nothing but sitting and just typing. This is not to mebtion that office settings also require intrigue and politics to rise to the top. I just can't imagine doing that and playing women's games of gossiping and stabbing coworkers in the back just to move up the corporate ladder.

I'm not sliding anything. Until Trump makes this big announcement there doesn't seem to be any other big news and I'm sick of the yes vote threads.

What's the pay like?

>intrigue and p
California Orchard worker detected.

$28/hr starting according to a new dealer I spoke to the other day.
I'm up to $35/hr.

infogathering, then. fwiw, I'm a chef at Wendy's, have two PhDs, and make $300k/yr. probably because I have a nine inch dick.

Basically every job is a good job except maybe prostitues, jobs in state organizations and journalists in lugenpresse.
Shaming people who work in Starbucks or other low-skill jobs is a very bad thing. Nobody should be ashamed of making money and providing goods and services to other members of the society.

Guys I am a 20 year old guy, who wasn´t in school for 2 years. I now started university, since 2 months but I´m really struggling (stem) .Is there a useful trade that I should learn, or is there a cool degree I should focus on that would help me to get through my troubles?

The only people I've ever seen do the "get a real job" were just looking for an excuse to talk about their own job

>sheltered NEET detected
You don't think office politics doesn't exist? Work in one and you will feel your soul and sanity get crushed.

I'm not interested in anyone's info, mate. I'm just curious as to what constitutes a productive member of society in most people's eyes.
It strikes me as weird that some jobs can be deemed not good enough when by 2050 virtually fucking every job is gonna be redundant due to automation.

Is that mordi? Leo?

youtube.com/watch?v=MH4Y16Hb6RM

This. Wasted 13 years of my life on that cunt of an industry and never topped 55k

No one? Is there a job worth learning, when you´re 21?

not sure, mate, what are you into?
I deal cards for a living and love it.
Some mates I know lay brick for a living and love it.
Different strokes.

Lmao, you sound like a fucking NEET. Workplace politics exist everywhere, not just in the office environment.

Sounds depressing as fuck to be honest. Getting paid semi-decently to do easy work only gets you so far mentally

I studied geology and now work FIFO, 1 year in I'm on $45 a hour all expenses covered and the sky is the limit with both roles and pay. Working in awesome outback locations, the work is hard but rewarding.

Gotcha. That´s the prob for me, I was just doing voluntarly work for 2 years and kinda lost my drive to do anything. Kinda depressed rn, because I feel like I can´t do anything.

Welder is the most masculine

Depends on the major, I heard the same stories going through uni, they scared me but I persevered.

Turns out most graduates overlook the brutal entry level positions in favor of the handful of cushy graduate positions. But the old school guys currently running companies don't respect that, they want to see you do some hard yards first.

How's the job market for geology?

Depends on the state, but most people seem to say its slowly improving.

Jobs are there, you just have to put a lot of effort into finding them.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

>Caring about being masculine

A career that makes money to live on

Sounds to me your headspace is not quite right at the moment (commonly described as "depression"). Change up whatever rut you're in right now and get out of doors and see what's out there.

Makes me want to kick a kitten every time I read that.

they mean become a jewish slave

Its a shout into the void. People know deep inside that most modern jobs are artifical bullshit, which humanity would be better without, so they scream in frustration for other people who have a simpler job or no job at all

Underrated

So any job?

Speaking of jobs:

> Currently working grave yard at a hotel

> Too much down time

> Literally on my computer at night to keep from sleeping

> What do, I want to learn something productive
