Discussion How old were you when you got your first job?

[TheDarkEnigma]

Tbh, I’m 19 now and I never had a paying job. I tried when I was still in school, but then pandemic stroke and all prospects are off the table so I’m just NEETmaxxing and LDARmaxxing for all this time.

Also, if you’re still working and have you kept the job since.

[rope2cope]

I got my first job at like 21-22 after I got kicked off NEETbux then quit at 26.

 

[ldargoblin]

Jobs suck ass.

 

[Deleted member 21768]

I'll let you know when I get one.

 

[Over_this_Life]

I got my first job at 20. I worked there for 2 and a half years

 

[TheDarkEnigma]

Tbh, had I worked when I was 16, I could've escortmaxxed by the time I turned 18.

That was one of my goals before I officially became an adult.

By the hour or just per day?

And who did you worked for? Of course your mom wouldn't want you to make something for yourself that young.

 

[GermaniaIncelia]

i worked for the first time when i was 13, the employer didn't know my age and when he asked for it one time he was shocked and told me i'm too young to work

i got paid 10 euros in total that week.

It wasn't very long I doubt I was there for more an hour. Minimum wage was like 4 buck an hour then. 15 bucks was a lot for the small amount of work I did.

It was a bar and I guess it was a bartender or a manager or something. I lived in a resort town with a beach so there were lots of bar around and it was the 80s so it was pretty lackadaisical on the laws.

How did you applied and how did your mom found out, lol?

And was this because your family were desperate, or you just wanted money for whatever?

I'm not sure what it was. It was definitely a bar. Uh it did have "amateur night" on Tues. So it could be that kind of bar.

I was there during the daytime though.

The 80s were pretty crazy. Everything is so uptight now.

Tbh in my country it is quite common for 15-16 yearolds to work in bars, so no one really noticed. I was never allowed to hand out drinks, i could only do the food though.

[sadboyo123]

And where you from? Was it a good job?

I'm from quite a rural area of the UK. In someways yes as i was getting paid, free alcohol when i was 14 but because i was legally not allowed to work i couldnt sign a contract so i could get fired at any point and i wouldn't be able to do anything. It had its ups and downs.

 

[ordinaryotaku]

Never had a job, hope to get one soon.

How so?

 

[TheDarkEnigma]

How so?

'Cuz you were working and making your own bread when you were younger than me.

19 and jobless, and I haven't achieved anything.

Well technically, I did kinda worked on my grandmother's salon doing some accounting shit on the weekends when I was 15-16 and she would pay me $20 for the day. But then I stopped because of ADHD, social anxiety, and my mom would steal my money because she would think I would use it on bad things.

I feel for you, theres a sense of relief when you start earning money, but i wouldn't mind being in the postion where i could neet. Have you tried getting a job? Do you want a job?

Yeah, when I was still in school and before the pandemic, I was trying to look for a legit job.

Tbh, it's not that I'm necessarily lazy or incompetent per se, but I have developed severe social anxiety sometimes so there's days where I'd rather not have to deal with people. And I tend to panic and sperg out when I'm around too many people without a way to remove myself from the situation.

I take it that you do not want to neet?

 

[TheDarkEnigma]

Nah.

People like to say that being a NEET all day without having to work or worry about responsibility is comfy and an ideal lifestyle to live.

And while yes, you don't have to wake up early every morning to go out and having to deal with being around people, trust me, it gets miserable over time.

TBH, being stuck at home all day with no physical contact, no income, eating junk food all day, and having a fucked up sleep schedule, and not having something to live for you'll eventually become depressed and feel like a bum. Kinda emasculating too, knowing that you're a grown man who still have to be supported like he's a child by his parents while not fulfilling the duty that is bestowed on men, whereas a lot of foids are working and making their own money.

And it's not like I have a choice: my parents are basically keeping me prisoner.

I feel for you man. They are forcing you to stay inside?

Pretty much. My dad especially doesn't trust me being outside and hides my shoes away.

Thats very psychopathic of them. Once you get a job, run, run far
