>How will my life change if I miraculously get a job as a dishwasher or idk burger flipper?
you will be constantly tired, your health will suffer from it and you will hate wagecucking.
>Is it really a path forward
not anymore, maybe 60 years or so some guy washing dishes could make a living but nowadays none of these dead end jobs provide enough.
shit ends up being a waste of time and you actually lose money because you have to pay taxes, insurance and for the commuting to work.

no, you have to actually join the rat race and become "successful" for it to change things in a positive way. This means the burger thing has to be just a start and you still have to think about how to maximize your income and earn enough to get all the things you need + security. It's a pain in the ass but it's what modern life is. Just staying as the lowest rung on the ladder in society will be torture. You only want to start at the lowest rung if that's your only option and you want to get started climbing immediately. Have a plan for how to better your earning potential, enact that plan.

To add to this, let me say this, don't choose to lose. They've made life a competition. Don't choose not to try your best at the competition because you have low self esteem or anxiety or whatever. You still need to try your best to achieve success because that's what leads to materially and objectively better outcomes in life. Don't choose to lose.

>>298340 (OP)
no. You will be trapped in a minimum wage job forever. This was why my parents were so adamant I don't become a janitor. Normies parroting that this is the start of your career is complete bullshit and they know it. You will be a wagie now till you die. Even immigrants will stare at you like some dumb freak.

>>298346
Lying piece of filth

>>298349
No, he's right. This isn't the 70s. You wont be "working your way up".

Flipping burgers, while an honorable job, is a death sentence for your CV that ensures nobody will ever consider you for a good job.

Those jobs are filled with applicants who started interning at a Big Four accounting or consultancy firm at age 18 and had a career going on at 21.

How do you think they're going to react to a guy who started packing french fries and nuggets for customers at age 30?

>>298354
This may come as a shock to people but you can hold a shit job and never reference it on your CV. Your employment history isn't a permanent record.

>>298355
This. I had a few odd jobs like factory drone, taxi driver, pizza delivery, and a few more, and I put none of it in my CV when I applied for an internship at an office. I just didn't include the employment history section. The recruiters asked me about it, and I told them the truth, that I had these jobs but didn't feel like they were relevant for the internship. And it worked.

Believe it or not, but serious businesses actually gladly accept "normal", level-headed people instead of normie clown actors.

>>298344
I already lost. I'm a college dropout, I thought I'd find something, anything that gives me fulfilment, but there's just nothing. Now I've been a neet for a few years with no degree. Soon to be 30.

As you say, there's no point beyond buying something that you want. Ideally you could NEET, work for a few months maybe until you have the cash and dip out and become NEET again..

>taxi driver
I had a few questions if you don't mind answering them.
1. When parallel parking, when you are done doing the whole 45 degree thing and then straighten your wheels to back into the parking spot before turning the wheel other way, how do you know how much to reverse? Given that you can't see the curb.

2. When you are doing the final manoeuver of backing in to a spot how do you know you're not gonna hit the car behind? How does one judge that in side view mirror? Especially when the hood of the car behind dips below the boot of your car? How did people used to do this before camera?

3. When changing lanes, I can tell if a car is far behind me or just besides me in the side mirror, but when the car is close to my rear bumper I can't tell if it is actually behind my rear bumper or if it is slightly ahead of my rear bumper. How do I judge that in the side mirror? Can anyone even judge this small gap with this small of margin in side mirror?

4. How do you judge that a spot is big enough to parallel park a car in the first place?

I have been driving for 4 years, and I am ashamed that I can't parallel park.

>>298364
Oh my god, not the parallel parking again *slams head on desk*
(just kidding)

1. I don't use the 45 degree turn method, it's more of a continuous turn for me. You drive on the left side in India, right? So when backing up, I would look in the right mirror and compare the right side of my car with the right side of the car behind me. They should be roughly in line. The goal is to get the butt of my car up the other car's nose. It's fine to adjust the wheels left and right as much as you need, it does not have to be a perfect three-move maneuver. As for the curb, to be honest I just back up very slowly and feel for any resistance. But my private car is a shitbox and a little scratch on the rim won't damage my soul.

2. It's mostly experience and memory. Once I'm done parking, I usually get out and take a look at how much distance there is left, and compare that with what I saw through the rear window while I was backing up. By the way, I don't limit myself to just the side mirror, I use everything I got - mirrors AND turning around to look behind.

3. In these situations, I turn the blinker on and slowly shift towards the lane I want to change to. If I don't see the car behind me slow down to let me in, I back off. I only change the lane when the car behind me is well away. But where I live, the traffic is lax enough, and the drivers are nice enough for this to work. It might not be the case with angry tuktuk drivers.

4. There should be at least 1,5 car's length between the cars. Sometimes I judge wrong and embarrass myself by trying to fit in a spot that's too small. Oh well, I'm too old to feel shame because of such trivialities.

You could work your way up and become the manager like the guy in this video.

>>298367
Thanks for replying.
1. I am still a bit confused regarding this to tell you the truth, I will try doing what you said and not just stick to a 3-move manoeuvre, although I still don't understand how to know when the rear of my car has come in front of the nose of the rear car fully :(

2. I turn around to take a look too, but doesn't rear windshield becomes useless when the hood of the car behind dips below the boot of your car? What to do in that case but to rely on side mirrors?

3. Yup, I only change lanes when there is a lot of gap, was just curious on how to do it if there wouldn't be too much gap and would have to judge let's say a 1 foot margin.

4. I have judged wrong too many times as well, I still don't know how to judge it when sitting in the car, let me know if there is a way to judge them while sitting in the car.

With that said, I genuinely appreciate the advice given on wizchan by you and other wizzes.

You should do everything you can to acquire the NEET lifestyle. Fuck normies and their disgusting society

>>298341

These jobs aren't there to help someone get ahead. They exist so that you can buy food to survive another day to continue to perpetual wage cuckery

>>298340 (OP)
We are really fucked up if we call these jobs "miraculous"

>>299157
I.K.R, I don't live in a big city, if i can get ANY low-skill job here (or anywhere else in my country, to be fair) I would consider my self lucky.

>>298433
This. There isn't any light at the end of the tunnel if you go down this path. You only exist to make the owner filthy rich while he gives you the bare minimum so you don't starve to death.

>>298432
This. NEET as long as you can, and if the system collapses, simply suicide. Don't give in or contribute to the exploitation in any way.
Only agree to employment if it means fair wages or ownership in the company, which will never happen in the current job market for anyone but the top 0,0001% of applicants to highly niche fields of work who also get signing bonuses.

>>299187
Suicide sounds scary. Can we do it?
