I'm bored of working in the games industry. It's fun but I'm now late 20s and I've had enough of the insecurity of going from contract to contract. Never able to spend money because I don't know how long it's going to be until another contract comes up (perm positions are VERY rare). Problem is it's literally all I've done since leaving uni, I have no experience with anything else.
So what does Sup Forums do for a living? Anyone doing things outside of normie jobs (retail etc)?
You haven't described any qualifications or education so can we safely assume you're a mouthbreathing QA mongoloid?
Isaac Johnson
What the fuck constitutes a normie job? You do realise people in retail are considered failures and aren't the average right?
Hunter Brooks
I do tarot readings on a little folding table on the street. On an average day I'll make about $40-60 for a 14 hour shift. On my best day I made $200 and on my worst I made $0. I live a life of voluntary simplicity so my needs are small: I have no car, no insurance, no fridge, no stove, and I take sponge baths in the sink because there's no shower. I sleep on an old piece of foam in the bare, unfinished concrete basement of a century-old factory. My only furniture is a chair and a desk, both of which were salvaged from the trash. All my belongings except my computer will fit into a single backpack, and my computer and all the peripherals will fit into a small suitcase. My small pleasures are my pipe and the occasional video game (courtesy of Pirate Bay).
If you're willing to live simply, it's still possible to be free.
Brody Gonzalez
How skilled at you in programming? You can work for a maitenience agency, basically when a major buisiness gets their decade old network shit canned they call in your guys to clean things up and make it more secure. Usually pays well theres always work. You can probably start your own if you have enough savvy/connections.
Carter Hall
Go join a fucking union like your father and your fathers father and your fathers fathers father.
Unions train you, pay you and usually have your back during tough times.
I'm an Interior Wiring Technician (electrician) and run a handyman service on the side.
GO GET A FUCKING TRADE!
Brandon Martin
>pipe >tarot readings >sleeps on the floor >homeless >thinks "freedom" from some imaginary authority has intrinsic value Holy fuck user, you're killing me. I didn't know it was possible to be a self important hipster bum but you've fucking enlightened me.
Alexander Rogers
Free from what? Living like someone who isn't brain damaged?
Mason Russell
Chacun a son gout, anons. If being a hamster on a wheel to acquire physical things which don't make you any happier is your bag, then go at it. My life suits me just fine. On the other hand, you folks sound a little... tense.
Aaron Adams
Not every shape fits the same box.
Jace Allen
Not OP but where I live highschools shill the fuck out of the university meme. If you go anywhere other than uni you're considered a bogan dropkick. But guess who's fucking laughing while I spend four years getting a piece of paper that possibly gets me a graduate job with a lower salary than a tradesman. Almost makes me think the state schools here are run by unions because they know they're onto a good thing and don't want other people catching on.
Thomas Nguyen
All of that sounds fucking awful and I schedule a week off work every month to go rough it in Zion.
You sir are a homeless dirty hippy. Add pseudo intellectual to that list as well.
If you were onto something so grand and life changing you wouldn't be living like you're in a third world country.
Grow the fuck up and go get a job.
Luis Roberts
This user gets it. I won't be buying ferraris but I'll have a decent paying job, insurance, vacation and be able to afford a nice home
Xavier Ramirez
We're laughing at the your whole idea of us being hamsters on a wheel. You know you don't have to live like a hobo to realise the facade of society right? It's your phony zen hermitism that we find hilarious.
Hudson Torres
I know your feeling user, I'm really considering to do illegal stuff to make some quick money.. I'm 21 and my life just go this way >wake up early >running to dont go late to work (don't own a car) >working all day just to arrive home to sleep because I'm tired af >wake up in a hurry to going to work again.. >repeat the worst of it, I don't buy things to me.. barely make some money enough to buy some food, and pay the bus tickets.. I just don't want to live like that.. that's no living is surviving in a society. there was this time when I find a good job in a company, but a fucking Crack head hit me outside of work and ruin my path.. I was making some decent money by then, and life just fuck me and say you won't.. so now I just get tired man.. I swear if someone tell me hey let's go rob something that actually will give me good money I will do it man.. I can't take it anymore.. I don't go in Welfare because I'm not a nigger, but I will be one if I start robing.. if I'm surviving then i should do anything to keep it that way.. the doors are close to me so let's open it illegal
Dominic Russell
I, sir, am a hobo in the finest tradition. I am a card-carrying Wobbly, a radical union organizer, and help keep the hobo traditions alive. There was a time during the Great Depression that so many hobos were members of the IWW that if you tried to hop a train, the hobos would demand to see your union card and pitch you right back off if you couldn't produce one.
Currently I am renovating this building with my own hands to turn it into a sort of hobo museum and cultural centre. Buskers, artisans, scrappers, and panhandlers offer free training in the traditional hobo arts to anyone who cares to learn. It's a fine life.
Mason Cooper
Nursefag here fairly normal job plus i work for w nurseline on the side
Parker Baker
Here's a radical idea. What if you could be a pretentious counter-cultural nihilist AND live in comfort. Actual intellectuals realise the pointlessness of the system but still play it to their advantage because money can't buy happiness but living in a warm, safe, rodent-free house in an actual bed with safe water and internet is pretty nice. You can have that and then eschew other physical things.
Ryder Scott
>iww nothing but fake anarchist faggots from the suburbs. i hope skinheads kill you, then cops kill them then blm kills them then we kill blm. walking garbage, the whole lot of you.
Elijah Carter
OK now I'm sure he's just trolling us. Well played user.
Nathaniel Mitchell
Don't fall for the Uni. meme if you already have a trade. >Mechanic >Plumber >Carpenter >Etc.
Unions want more people because we need men who are willing to work hard and get paid well for their work. They're even willing to train you and send you to their school on their dime.
The IBEW is the electrical union I'm not sure for any other line of work but Google it.
Trust me being a tradesman isn't glamorous but it will take you from trailer trash to middle class without kicking you out on your ass. gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8
Ian Hughes
>go get a jerb Aren't you the one who posted this thread whinging about how having a job is destroying your soul?
Think so? What if I told you that I'm a very well-known anarchist shit-disturber, that there's a Wikipedia article about me, and that I've spent the last 25 years in the media? In fact, just last year I was on the cover of every newspaper in the country for my organizing activities. Seems a union for street workers is pretty interesting to a lot of folks.
And given the amount of rage and hate in this thread, do you really wonder why I'm a little doubtful about how satisfied people are with their rat race life?
Liam Williams
IUOE biaaaaaaaaach
Jason Gomez
You not vermin supreme and trying to be him is sacrilege you worthless piece of shite.
Justin Morales
Vermin Supreme is not a union organizer, to my knowledge. I've hosted two radio shows, founded two unions for buskers and panhandlers, and ran for public office. If you're really that doubtful I'll out myself, but my feeling is that if I do, you'll jump all over me and call me an egomaniac.
Gabriel Lewis
No I'm a crotchety old man who's kids have all grown up, wife died and sits on cash made from hard work. I literally have nothing better to do at this hour than tell you to get a fucking job and stop being a hippy. You think it's all fun and games until you're 35 and realize you're squatting on a property you hope to "renovate". >INB4 squatters rights Mah nigga.
Oliver Kelly
I grew up in a relatively upper middle class suburb surrounded by other suburbs just like it. Maybe it was just my highschool that was biased because it's filled with privileged shits. Going to TAFE (I think the yanks call them technical colleges or something) here is considered by everyone in my pretty privileged university to be like resigning yourself to a lower class life. They don't seem to know the difference between a skilled tradesman and some schmuck who digs ditches for a living. I should come out alright since I'm in a very good degree but fucking Arts and Humanities students have hilariously inflated opinions of themselves considered they'll be flipping burgers for the rest of their lives.
Daniel Scott
I sell drugs, lot of them. Make good money and live the way I feel like.
Jeremiah Davis
I'd saying you're either trolling or the most narcissistic person I've ever heard. So I'm hoping you're trolling.
Mason Brooks
I'm staring down the barrel of 50, user. Being free isn't a "phase." All my life people kept telling me that I would give in, that I'd hang up my beard and "get a real jerb." Never did. Never will. I'll die as I've lived: free.
Caleb Wilson
>art and humanities major My fucking sides.
Trust me champ go hook up with the union you think is right. If you know a little bit of carpentry they'll teach you everything you need to know. Whatever you've been taught to do for a trade go chase it. Don't follow your dreams. Just because you're passionate about something doesn't mean you're good at it.
Kayden Murphy
So what you're really saying is that you've constructed a mental evasion structure such that no matter what I say or do, you will have a way to dismiss everything I say. Can you see how that might be unhealthy? That you might not be as content as you claim to be? For what it's worth, I think some time letting go and just floating might do you some good. Get rid of your "things," buy a backpack and a tent, and just hit the road with your thumb out. My life isn't comfortable or safe, but it's challenging and it gives me a sense of satisfaction you seem to lack. Could do worse, user.
Pic related: Me. If you're really that paranoid about me trolling, you should be able to check my cred from that.
Nicholas Jackson
Andrew Nellis is that you?
Connor Flores
>I'm 50 and I'm still homeless because I refuse to conform to your labels and shit man >you ain't free MAN >you're just a square MAN >IT'S NOT A PHASE MOM!!!
You're pathetic and will die alone with no legacy. If you're really 50 you're seriously pathetic and now I'm worried I've given you change before. Most people your age tend to have jobs, families and are concerned about the legacy they will leave. Your legacy. >Piss stained pants >Table made of garbage >B-but I'm free MAN
You live under a different kind of oppression. The idea that you have to be an "individual" to be happy. Guess what sunshine your life has been lived like a million times before and they all ended the same. Why the fuck do you think people don't do what you do? Because it's insane. Your chances of death every single day skyrocket just doing normal things.
If this is a troll well done. If not you disgust me and you're more pathetic than any amount of weaboo faggotry.
Anthony Murphy
That's me!

And the legacy I will live behind me is a lifetime of adventure, spiritual growth, and all the many, many lives I've touched by being unafraid to follow my Tao.
Michael Cook
Still remember the "guess who I am" thread. Lol :^)

Have we witnessed a masterclass in trolling my friends? Or have we just being arguing with a dirty gypsy all night long? That we may never know is one of the beautiful mysteries of the universe.

My money is on a grand artist troll
Nolan Edwards
I'm not easily forgettable, that's for sure. I like to come here and freak out the squares by not worrying about their peer pressure. Most of the kids here have spent their whole lives trapped in a cossetted suburban bubble where conformity and the ability to blend into a crowd are survival traits. I like to think I'm a spiritual depth charge into the lives, and that now and then a seed might find a crevice of doubt where it can grow.
David Reyes
definitely a troll
Josiah Brown

Well, in the old days we took pride in our trolling skills. We'd spend days or even weeks insinuating ourselves into some Usenet or Fido newsgroup, playing the long game to set up all the dominos to fall all at once in one perfect, zen-like moment of detournement. We were always cognizent of our responsibility as trolls to be entertaining and to provide some teachable moments as recompense for the havoc we wreaked.
Trolling is an art. Shitposting a banana is not.
Jaxon Hernandez
>I'm not easily forgettable, that's for sure.
I don't know - if you were at a metal gig, all those other sad gay wankstains with beards and beer-bellies would serve as camoflage.
Kevin Morgan
You've certainly made a crevice into my sides
Joshua Phillips
Because nobody can be egotistical enough to have an artists rendition of themself and not explode from the pent up desire to suck their own dick. Ipso facto, you sir are a LIE. A LIE.
Evan Russell
Tits or gtfo
If no tits, kill self
Xavier King
Read this closely hippy moron.
Evan Sanchez
I drew that myself, actually, although I could post a painting of me by someone else if you really want me to. By the way, I predicted this way up the thread: folks would call me a liar, and then when I proved I wasn't a liar, they'd call me an egomaniac. It's the go-to evasion structure for kids around here to avoid having to see something which doesn't easily fit into the schema they've constructed for interpreting the world. The world is larger and stranger than you folks give it credit.
Ryder Morales
The expression of superiority in that dudes face is priceless.

Grayson Jackson
Timestamped pic faggot, prove it. I want you to shatter my suburban bubble or whatever with your existence. If you aren't a troll, people have being calling you an egomaniac pseudo-intellectual from the beginning pal. The claims of trolling came when you overplayed your hand on the ego front.
Austin Ramirez
How can we get in touch?
Evan Anderson
Call me. You already have my name. I'm in the book. I'm sitting right by the phone. As I've already mentioned, I live a life of voluntary simplicity; I don't own a cellphone, so I can't take a "selfie." Actually, I've never even used a cellphone. (If you're curious why, I recommend Neil Postman's _Amusing Ourselves to Death_.)
Elijah Turner
Well anonfriend, you could always give me a call. Or you could come down to the union hall, the Utah Phillips Centre for the Hobo Arts. We're in Windsor, 15 minutes across the bridge from downtown Detroit. If any of you live in the Michigan area, I'd be happy to bring an extra pipe and we can sit in the park and smoke together.
Jaxon Baker
>implying there isn't a million fucking Andrew Nellises out there What's your number dude
Thomas Robinson
There's only one Andrew Nellis in Windsor with an address which matches the Utah Phillips Centre for the Hobo Arts. I'm not going to dox myself in here and have a fucking SWAT team busting in the doors.
