srsly besides the pick up a hobby and stop smoking theory, no one has given me a valid reason why I should get a job. I don't need to have a career, or assert myself into corporation ranking up the ladders to be socially acceptable. who the fuck wants to be socially acceptable anyways. fucking vanity is not who I am.

If you want a valid reason to get a job, try appealing to your morals. Who is paying your bills now? Because whoever is, they have to get a job to support not just themselves, but you with it. That's why you need to get a job, not being a burden to others.

well maybe if you had a real job you would be able to afford gas

yeah because without an education that will go over real easy, ever try getting a real job while your a full time student? It's hit or miss really, there is opportunity but it's limited and not available to everyone, especially students who will quit in 3-4 months time.

No one can force you to get a job, nor should they look down upon you if you chose not to have one. Like I said you're in school, so mad props for not having something going on in your life.

Showing some dedication to your career is what might land you a job or an internship in the future, you might not make much or anything at all but donating some time to get contacts in your field can really get your foot in the door. The best parameter to tell whether your life is how you want it to be is to ask yourself if you're happy, the rest you can figure out for yourself. No one can make you change your lifestyle, but I'm getting the feeling that you aren't particularly happy with how things are going.

Yeah gotta say I thought a lot more of you before I read this thread.

[gran guerrero]

so tell me vyk, in all your fucking forum glory, what kind of person was I in your eyes before I tell people off because I'm expected to be something else in other's eyes.

[Cops]

I don't think you're really looking for a job, you're looking for an easy way of making cash. Getting a job isn't just about dropping a resume off and waiting 2-3 months for a call, it's about being pro-active. I might have defended you before but after the conversation we had it's kind of hard to. You want to be independent but you don't want or need money, which doesn't make sense because you created this thread.

I think the job markets tough right now, but I don't believe for one fucking second that there's not one job out there that you couldn't get. You've set yourself up for failure, by thinking you won't get the job. How can you expect to get a job when you're not showing confidence in yourself? Sell yourself off to drug companies and internet sites that make you click things for cash, but that's no more independent than taking your parents money.

gran, speaking as a dude in your position, i know it's a bitch. tomorrow i'm going to suck it up and put on a button-down and a tie and slave at a steakhouse. i'm going to hate it and hate people and hate steak but if there's one thing i've learned, it's that change has got to start somewhere. i want so much but i've really just been sitting around waiting for something to drop in my lap but it's not how it happens.

cops/vyk: easy on the dude. acid's a powerful drug and you'll miss how it changes you unless you look for it. i feel like everything is so insignificant when i look at the world and its problems and you get so caught up that something as simple as taking the first step becomes a very difficult thing. it's always been a problem for me - i would go as far as to say that acid in many ways is a drug that makes people autistic, because that's what it's like - to have a bajillion things in your head, to be wondering about everything around you and your relation to it, twenty-four-seven, and to let it control you to the point where you forget to step back and see the basics. for me, the past year has been one of the most intellectually enlightening periods, i've discovered so much about myself and people and things and the government and economics and whatnot, but it's happened at the expense of my life. at the moment i'm technically dropped out of school because i thought i'd be halfway around the world right now, but it doesn't happen like that.

so gran, my advice: clear your head, suck in your chest, and get whatever job is available. you'll make money, and money will help you change your situation - it'll make your aspirations possible. you just gotta start somewhere in order to get the ball rolling. it's hard as fuck to quit drugs but make a list of what you've put into your body in the last 24 hours, do it every day. exactly one week ago my daily list had seven chemicals written on it, and that's when i realized... fuck.

i also remember what i was like before it all and i miss that guy, i was infinitely less serious about shit. i mean, look at us, dude. all we've talked about the last two months is drugs, drugs, drugs. remember how awesome we were before that?

1) Clinical trials

2) University research subject for any number of wacky experiments. (I used to see earn $20 for participating in psychology experiment for 1 hour all the time when I was in school)

Both of these fulfill your criteria for getting paid to 'test things'. I dunno any websites though.

Come on brother, you and I both know that's not what it's about. You don't want to get a job but you're tired of having nothing.

Get an ambition. Write a book. Build something. Learn something cool and money will eventually come with whatever you choose. The important thing is to find something important and give it your all. Maybe it's a person, maybe it's a dream, or maybe it's some work of art. The point is: Find something worth living for. Otherwise I figure life's going to be disappointing.

I almost cried reading that.

[Vykromond]

so tell me vyk, in all your fucking forum glory, what kind of person was I in your eyes before I tell people off because I'm expected to be something else in other's eyes.

I don't know maybe the kind of person who doesn't ask about get rich quick schemes because he doesn't want to do anything except take drugs on his parents' dime.

Forum glory sounds cool though.

I see myself in him about 2-3 years ago, so I'm not trying to berate the guy but like vyk said he enjoys himself off his parents backs. What's worse than that is that he bitches about that situation, and wants independence yet he does nothing to attain that independence. He has no self confidence and doesn't believe he's going to get the job, so there's no point shooting yourself in the foot then bitching about it later. If you want independence you have to earn it, you can't just say you want to be independent then take your parents money to pay for your school, shelter, food, and drugs.

I'm glad you've realized how many drugs you've taken Jerome, and how you were before you took the drugs. Chemicals made me reanalyze who I was and where I was going and that was enough for me to start doing things for myself. I have no problem with people who do drugs but I do have a problem with people who over use drugs, there's no point smoking 5-6 times a day just like there's no point doing acid every day. You start to forget what it's like to be off drugs, and once you remove yourself from your drug induced state and right back into not being high all the time your body has a hard time adapting to this state. I woke up one day and realized I was fucked, I didn't finish high school, I got high every day multiple times a day, and soon I would have no home. Sometimes the only way to change is to face something head on, though I hope not everyone has to do this.

He's got to realize that point a gets you to point b, so regardless of how much he thinks money is bullshit and the idea of working is mundane it eventually gets you where you want to be. Serving steak isn't glamorous but it pays the bills so it's a respectable living in my eyes. Hell, work towards something better and you won't even need to work the 9-5, if you stay in school and get your masters you could easily just talk out of your ass to a class of 20 something year olds and do literally no manual labor. Maybe it's just be but I've worked in factories, so I know what that leads to...
