I'm a bit fucked, Sup Forums

I'm a bit fucked, Sup Forums.

Lost my job a few months ago. a week before my contract was supposed to be extended, they called me in and said sorry, underenrollment, bla bla bla, need to let you go. No renewal.

I wasn't technically fired, so I can't collect unemployment.

I don't have a professional certification or trade experience. I have a provisional teaching license and every school where that means anything is done hiring for the year. The only people hiring are hospitals (not qualified), construction crews (no skills or carpentry experience), McDonalds (I applied and they called me just to say they think I'm overqualified and would be bored, but thanks anyway), and Starbucks (I applied but they hired the hippie vegan barista from fucking Portland who welded his own coffee roaster out of an "upcycled" fire extinguisher).

Finally I decide fuck it, at this rate I might as well call in a favor.

>hey dude, I need a job
>sorry bro, I'm not working for the company

>Get the job

I don't care about losing my apartment, it has rats and I already gave my 30 days. I can put my student loans on hold, no biggie.

I can't miss my car payments.

I need to eat.

I need some basic, menial income while I couch and tent surf for a few months. Finally, I have the best idea ever. Lyft.

After losing my insurance, turns out my vision is shit in my left eye, and I'll need surgery or serious custom glasses to fix my vision to the point where I can drive for those asshats.

I'm out of fucking luck, Sup Forums. I don't wanna lose my car. What can I do to make a few hundred bucks a month?

Also I'm watching the Beavis and Butthead Movie. It's solid nihilistic slapstick.

>>I don't care about losing my apartment, it has rats and I
Bro Im gonna be honest with you just kill some1 and drink their blood and you'll gain wealth from the upper heads that watch your back.

How are you posting this? Do you pay for your internet? Don't. That will save you 40+ per month. The internet is entertainment. "I need it to apply for jobs" Go to the library.

A little bit of information like, where you live, how old are you, etc would be useful if you want our help.

Apply at mid-range minimum wage jobs. That seems like a contradiction, but what I mean is places like Subway instead of McDonalds. Under-emphasize your qualifications.

Staffing companies like Adecco can get you jobs, too, but keep in mind it will 100% be a shit job that will get rid of you in 1-3 months, so it's a short-term solution.

OP, how the hell did you get rejected by McDonald's? You gotta take all your education off and just show you've been dicking around those past years. Modify your resume, and apply again. I think you'll be alright.

That's exactly it. I keep hearing stories on the radio abut how businesses are so desperate to hire, and how they just can't find the right people. Minimum wage jobs don't fit that description. There are a dozen desperate and driven people lined up for 3 jobs, and I think a lot of these people see I was a teacher, decide "he's gonna want a decent wage" and say fuck it, not gonna hire him or deal with that drama.

As far as a shit temp job, I just might at this point.

Instead of being a pussy bitch and trying to only apply for what society tells you are jobs, think outside the box.

Most direct way to money: Contact your local Lineman's Union or Electrician's Union. Find out if they need workers, most likely they'll hire you because union. You go through their BS, get hired on and start work right away. They put you in some sort of apprenticeship program and boom, you're getting like 60 hours a week, plus paid-for schooling in the work. My friend has been doing it for like 2.5 years and he's making $75K a year (in TX) with no college education or work history other than shit jobs. Now he's working storm down in Florida, making like 4 (plus or minus a few hundred) grand after taxes a week. You just gotta man up and make the shit happen and be able to hang with the work.

Life has lied to you. College is a scam, all the "important" jobs are traps, the good degree career fields are getting saturated or are very competitive. The real money is buried beneath the dirt they don't think you'll put your hands in, where basically any bum can walk in off the street and start making a good living.

Also try looking into Cellular Tower Technicians. They start out at like 12 bucks an hour (in TX), but with the hours you'll be working, you'll be coming out good and if you have a head on your shoulders you'll probably move up the first few tiers pretty quickly.

eheheh eheheheheh extended. ehehehe eheheheh

>As far as a shit temp job, I just might at this point.

I started out at a shit temp job making 10 bucks an hour. Isn't much, but this was 17 years ago and pretty decent for someone pretty new to the workforce.

I've now quadrupled my salary and haven't spent a dime on school. Some of those temp jobs really are shit. Others are jobs at companies that have decided that "outsourcing" their jobs helps their bottom line. They don't have to pay benefits so it looks good in their books.

Over those 17 years, my position grew tremendously as I proved myself. Started out as a temp for about a year, then was contracted for another 10 years, then hired on full time for the remainder. I left the company recently for another doing virtually the same job I was doing, but for 20k more per year.

You have to invest the time and don't fuck around with jobs with no possibility of a future. You can only climb so far at McDonalds.

I've actually seriously considered it. I come from a pretty pretentious fucking family. My mother was a teacher, my father was a college professor, my older brother is a doctor, my older sister is a lawyer, my twin sister is getting her PhD, and I just wanna do something with my hands, live in a house somewhere in the woods and be content. I always loved physics, especially electrical stuff, and I've always kind of thought it would be a decent way to make a living in a stable career. Is it seriously as easy as just walking down and applying?

Apply at Goodwill. They're always looking for people to work in their stores and warehouses. It's retail, so it's hard work, for minimum wage and an unpredictable schedule. But it works for a lot of people. And they specialize in hiring disabled, convicts, homeless, etc., and giving them a chance to turn their lives around.

Depending on the place, if you go through the Union they hire a lot easier because you'll be paying union dues, but it's chump change once you're getting your paychecks. Like I think a couple hundred bucks every few months or something. Some places might want you to get a CDL first also, but if you can somehow scrounge the money or make connections you can study up, take the test, then do a driving test with a borrowed truck and you'll have that met. My friend just studied up and then went to some electric company's yard that the union put him in contact with and they let him drive their truck for the test and he was good.

Also, once you get in, you'll start out a bottom wrung grunt, but as you work your way through the union's apprenticeship program, you'll get periodic automatic raises. My friend has only been there 2.5 years and he's making about $25 an hour, working like 60 hours a week. But here's where it gets cool. Once you hit Journeyman, now you're nationally employable. What many do at that point is buy/rent a camper and go off to California, rent a camper site, and do lineman work there for like $60 god damn dollars an hour. They do that for a year or so, then go back home and take a long break, living off the money, then go back and do it again.

oh, and fuck that pretentious family bullshit. If they're scholars, then they should have enough brain power to compregend/respect you making a decision that will improve your life. If they don't, fuck em. And if they try to rub their doctor/lawyer money in your face, just take comfort in the fact that you earned your money without having to sit in a college wracking up debt for 6+ years and now get to travel/exploit the nations' electrical crises for personal gain. Also, if they talk shit, you can just cut the power to their big assed houses.

>provisional teaching license
>don't have a professional certification

Nigga, how does that even work? What's your education?

Yeah, my mother just decided to stop giving me options when she realized she frequently didn't like my choices. Definition of a helicopter parent on steroids. Took me years to realize it was unhealthy, too. Still kind of getting over it.

I always liked the idea of working high voltage lines and substations out in the middle of nowhere USA. same pathway or totally different?

You go lineman, you'll start out digging holes and mounting poles (no homo). You'll work your way up to being the guy in the bucket fixing the high voltage stuff. If you want to go substation, that's a slightly different path. Still decent money/hours, but it's two different routes, and I think the lineman stuff will make you more money faster.

OP did indicate he has student loans. That's the level union-sponsored education, huh? No wonder any beaner can do the job just as well as you.

OP indicated he can't see shit so CDL is kinda out of the question.

meh, I kindof got away with murder there. Great financial aide program, I walked away with a BA and only $10k's worth. It's down to 6 now. I owe more on my car.

Just because I'm a nice guy, I'll tell you my secret.

Free fucking money. I've made literally thousands of dollars selling free porn to idiots. Realistically I make about $50 an hour for laying in bed on my phone

I literally paid for gas/car insurance/weed/food/booze while in college entirely off of this income.

I mean, it's correctable, just not without vision insurance. I'm just super pissed because 2 months ago, I had vision insurance, and would have fixed it if I'd realized.

Still, that's 10K against next to no equity on your part. Are you white or something?

Noticing a pattern of bad decisions here...

French-Canadian, nonetheless.

No shit sherlock, so am I. My only defense is that I was poorly informed for years.

I literally didn't read any of that because I don't care. If he has student loans, that's besides the point. The endgame is he can make good money without having to follow his family's footsteps.

Come on, Sup Forumsro, who pays for porn these days anyway? Might have worked back in late 90s, but times have changed.

I applaud your entrepreneurial spirit and all, but stop lying.

Right, hope you had a blast partying for your BA and fucking chicks. Meanwhile some of us had a brain cell to figure shit out and are sitting pretty, albeit while still fat and ugly as fuck.

Whore yourself out, pretty boy, close the loop, and fulfill your destiny.

Apply for a collections job, they will hire anyone and the pay will be enough to pay the bills, the job will sucks balls thou...

Actually, same goes for a process server.

I literally just saw someone trying to buy a set off of someone that was posting some here.

No actually, I studied hard, stayed mostly sober and got a 3.87 with a double major in Biology and Music Composition. I spent a year applying to basic, grunt level research and lab jobs, private and public, and after hundreds if not thousands of applications, I finally got one person to reply to a follow up. He said, "Look kid, your resume is great, and 3 years ago, I'd have hired you on the spot, but I have 4 job openings, and 178 applicants, 12 of whom have PhD's. Without experience, you're just outgunned.

So I started teaching and earning a certification before recognizing education is not set up to be a career anymore. It's more a public service. you do your time, burn out, and they find some bright eyed college grad to replace you because they believe in the idealism of it all and who cares if I'm making $20k.

Screenshot, or it didn't happen

>Biology and Music Composition

Shit tier majors, kid. Enjoy being homeless.

there are soooooo many people with that same story these days. I'm telling you, there's gonna be some sad people in the coming years. Watch, they're gonna start selling trade schools to everyone now.

k

it's already started, brother.

and with our luck automation will replace all of those trade jobs in 20 more years.

Get ahead of the game. Get into automation.

It's already dominated by BAE, IBM and GE.

OP of that comment here, believe what you wish, I've stopped doing this so much but It still works very well. You'd be amazed how idiotic some people are.
>pic related, every incoming payment was a horny retard paying me for free porn

It's really quite hilarious

yup. globalists have already won.
and the people still don't have basic income to prevent them from falling into poverty and despair.
it's no wonder that couple blew themselves and their house up.
fuck the banks who were going to steal their home after stealing their jobs. they can't find a means to make a living, so they said fuck it all and killed themselves, took the house with them, because fuck giving the people who made it impossible to live because of gentrification, nearly a million dollars in property

but ayy more grunt workers who don't understand the language will come in and do the work at a cheaper price, wew multiculturalism and diversity FTW

>wew multiculturalism and diversity FTW
more job competition, more stress on social services, more crime.
more people plz. our lives aren't bad enough already because we're already surrounded by shitbags, lets bring more!

that is actually hilarious. I actually used to do this a while back except I was selling actual dic pics to horny gay guys. I never put my face on camera, so IDGAF, but you could make a TON of cash doing it.

Literally just dropboxes I pick up from random kik chat's on Sup Forums, it took some sweet talking occasionally but I made thousands of dollars, no exaggeration. if OP is in thread he should listen lmao, I literally quit my part time job in college and did this cause I made more money working 1/5th the hours

>-99 dollars to jagex
Though I have quit that time waste of a game, you actually pay for your membership in cash instead of bonds

who is the real sucker here?

>jagex $100
wtf? why would you give such a scummy shitty deprived of decency company your money? they go so fucking far out of their way just to cuck their players out of anything fun, then when the game breaks they tell the players to fuck themselves and leave them high n dry without a single reimbursment or even an apology
hell i spam accounts of people i hate with recovery attempts until they lock the account entirely.
it's fucking hilarious how shitty one game company can be

automation is going to repair air conditioners, plumbing, install equipment, run/repair electrical, etc etc? so what do they want everyone to do? Go get bachelor degrees and all fight over the same jobs? how is that good for anyone?

I'm 41 and the longest I've held a job since 1999 is 3 years. Most of the time it's 10-14 months and the company folds or the department is eliminated or we're bought and parted out or whatever. The whole thing is a racket. The only people I know of who have made any money in the last twenty years are those who treat their companies like a pyramid scheme and take the money & run. They certainly don't work. Work is for those with nothing better to do. If you're working, you're the lowest man on the pyramid, and the lowest paid.

Figure out what you can possibly do to start a company doing anything. Even if it sucks and bombs in 4 months like most peoples, you'll learn more valuable knowledge than working for someone else company for a decade. You have the rest of your life to give up and wander into someone else organization and ask for your bi-weekly handout.

Put a series of classes together teaching something you know about, and advertise them on your local grocery/coffee shop bulletin board, Whole Foods if possible, bc those people actually read them and have money and are interested in shit.

Anything. Samba dancing, anal gaping, the decline and fall of Rome, how to poach eggs, whatever. Apparently you've got time.

haha kekity jones
I'm watching through all the B&B episodes at the moment. This show is comfy. ...and funnier than I remember it being too.

It's funny how terrible most of the music that seemed great at the time actually was, and how apparently beavis and butthead could tell, but we couldn't.

>working storm down in Florida, making like 4 (plus or minus a few hundred) grand after taxes a week.

He needs to hurry his ass up. We can't start putting the cable lines back up until the power lines are up and running. He's got about 7 days till I turn my RV south and shit better be ready to go when we land.

lmao, he said he's expecting to be there about a month, so uhhhh

Get a fucking 9 to 5 you idiot. Work at a pizzaria for a few months that part time or something.

We're going to be there 6 months, minimum. Everything got tore down and it's all got to go back up.
