You should be able to find a job as a day laborer at construction sites or something similar. They certainly shouldn't require education.

Shit! SHIT!!!
So, look, I am a in the former heart of the former 2nd world

I survived being a no-good dropout by

a) looking for a warehouse worker job AND b) using an app that was looking for jobs near your current location (very useful for looking for jobs near hometown)

also c)

I was remembering today how I survived managing a small warehouse:



butt cushion saved me from "Hank Hill Syndrome" getting worse

2 screens = +30% productivity


Own portable speaker + own sdcard w/music = no need to think over background music choise when starting work

I straight up took an Adidas jacket at work to look ready to carry crates around - no need to wear a suit and tie at a prole job position interview.
* Once they ask WHEN are you ready, you say "ah, even this very hour will do; I put on Adidas in case you need a guy to load stuff today already



Simple lesson for warehousers.
LIFT WITH YOUR LEGS
NOT YOUR BACK

it saved my back, Ive been warehousing for years already.

> Or some backbreaking physical labor that there's no way I can do

>just get into construction, bro

>>304429
>just do warehouse jobs, bro

OP said he isn't capable of hard physical labor and what you two suggest would end up with him ragequitting after a few hours…

>>304425
OP, I can understand you. I'm very similar to you, nearly the same age, similar 2nd-world post-soviet country with no bux or anything like welfare and I also can't do any skilled job and don't have a higher education, plus I'm physically weak too just like you. So I can't give you some exact, magical solution to your problem but can give some of my personal insight:
- maybe try applying for a job at your local supermarket, like filling up shelves and replacing products, that kind of stuff, not the warehouse kind of job
- or try getting a job at some factory where you have to do repetitive stuff that isn't especially hard you on physically, like putting together parts of cars/bikes, etc
- you could also try finding some old guy or succubus and doing chores for them they can't do anymore, like doing the shopping for them or doing gardening, etc.
- maybe cleaning? Cleaning toilets or whatever, it doesn't require some big knowledge
- or maybe Burger King or McDonald's, doing whatever you can

Or you could just embrace your fate like me and shrug. I'm prepping myself mentally for the homeless life, with occasional visits to prisons or psych wards, so what? Life sucks. Whatever, nothing I can do about it. If I cared or gave a shit I would have already done something about my life…

Look up what "кладовщик" does and you'll see what I mean - it's not about *carrying da boxes* like that Wojtek bear, no.

I was think of a job where you need to *manage* a warehouseful of small things.

>>304438
>OP said he isn't capable of hard physical labor and what you two suggest would end up with him ragequitting after a few hours…


no, no, not "literal warehouse" warehouse, I was thinking of "running a small shop" kind of warehousery or "carrying a cart around the aisles" kind of warehousery.

Hmm. Can u travel to another country, like Germany, where the wages are higher to work there? Or any other EU country?
As for jobs, I might recommend being a baker or a dishwasher. I worked those jobs and it's pretty comfy ngl. Nobody interacts with you and it's not that physically demanding.
I would recommend being a baker. You need to learn how to kneed dough first. But I'm talking specifically about confectionery bakeries. I worked in one, I made donuts there. If you can stand up for long periods of time, you are golden. Making donuts is easy squeezy. You might even ask for a tall chair if your legs are weak. It pays alright, too.

>>304501
Good.


Oh, and I work at an online shop, where social interaction is limited

The answer is not going to be one you will probably like. You just have to play the numbers game.

Apply to jobs that are close to you. Apply to ones you think you could do even if you are utterly unqualified for. Then you try and get to an actual person that you can either impress or con or otherwise manipulate into giving you a job. The numbers game alone without the con part of it will work, but much less efficiently. You need to come up with a story and figure out an angle. You need to figure out how to sell yourself. How to maximize your upside and minimize all downside. Make yourself appear like a really good worker that any employer would want and then you just need some excuse to explain what you've been up to the rest of your life.

You can invent work history if it's legal to do so where you live. It would be wildly beneficial to take this step and many people do it. AI is increasingly being used to select candidates and you can game the algorithm by crafting a resume that has all the things the algorithm is looking for. If this isn't legal where you live, then you better up your story game. Your sick aunt, or some bullshit IDK give it more thought than me. But just a note about the legality thing, make sure you look up the consequences, because if it's "illegal" but the worst that happens is you get fired, then it's not really illegal at all. On the other hand if you could go to jail then it's a different story.

You win by taking many shots and maximizing your chances of success with each shot you take. Don't hold back on trying to succeed. Do all the tricks, dress nice, groom yourself well, try to be charming and affable. Try to seem smarter and more learned than you really are without bullshitting enough to give yourself away. Many people will see through you, but that's fine, think of them as learning experiences and move on. Eventually you will find someone who will take a chance on you. Getting to the people in charge of hiring is key. Start by asking them questions about the job before you even apply and use it as an opportunity to chat them up. Always try to take an interest in the people around you no matter how fake that interest is. Talk to receptionists and be charming as possible. Normies like a normalfag they can judge by interacting with right off the bat and hate lone wolf loser types who keep quiet and they can't judge effectively. You need to be signaling all the right things to all the people in the workplace from the moment you walk in the door.

It's better to con your way to a good job than to start off with a low pay shit job that will exploit you. Those sorts of jobs don't lead to anything better, they just give you barely enough money to tread water with your mouth an inch away from drowning while trapping you in a life of endless exploitation where the only thing you are qualified to do is the sort of low wage grind you have been doing from the start.

See you tomorrow. Been there, done that. Killing yourself is harder than it sounds and requires much more energy and effort than just living. But if you succeed, well good for you I guess.

I am from Belarus, its way more 3rd world than Poland, waaaay more.

>>304691
Is it true they tax NEETs in Belarus? lol Not enough they don't give you bux but they demand money from you if you don't work, sounds horrible if true.

>>304693
They tried, but after the protests and the fact that this piece of crap paid 10% of Neet, they're now removing some "state benefits" I've never seen, like cheap household gas (I don't have gas at home, only electricity). They're also thinking about removing free healthcare, but almost everything here was paid for anyway. So, personally, it doesn't matter to me anymore; there's nothing to take away from me, because I have nothing and never had anything in this so-called life.

>>304691
its objectively true with the giant gdp gap

>looking for a warehouse worker job
I also trying to find a job right now, after being only at home for 5 years. My plan is to find a warehouse job because they dont require much knowledge and, as a social phobe, Im unable to work as a cashier or in similar roles. The main problem is that after 5 years nearly every day at home my stamina is basically zero and there are literally no muscles left in my arms. I dont know if Im even capable of working in a warehouse, but since Im a social phobe who is incredibly bad at maths, I dont really have many alternatives.

>>304722
Become a construction worker chad.

>>304725
this


you basically need to learn how stuff's done on-site, not how stuff's lined out by some soy-decaf-slurper let alone a special kind of person you "wouldn't seem to understand"

>>304722
Sociophobia? Knowledge?

If you're a responsible adult, you can be trusted with laying bricks and mixing the cement mix. Such a job is requiring you to not be a funny small-time-criminal that would steal random shit to sell for pennies and… that's where many foxes, weasels and rascals flub it up XD

>investing
You meaning demo trading where the brokers let you win?

Tried food delivery? No one cares who you are as long as you can bring the food from point a to point b.

The sad answer is that no job is truly comfortable to do, at least not in the way people imagine when they talk about fulfillment or passion. That is why they are called jobs in the first place. They demand time, energy, and obedience to systems that were not built around individual well being. Even work that starts out tolerable slowly becomes repetitive, stressful, or hollow once it is tied to survival and rent and deadlines. The language around “loving what you do” tends to obscure the reality that most labor exists to generate value for someone else, not meaning for the person doing it. Comfort is the exception, not the rule, and for the majority of people, work is something endured rather than embraced.

Only the top one percent can realistically escape this dynamic, because they are the only ones with enough wealth, autonomy, or power to reshape work around their own desires. They can choose projects instead of obligations, stop when they are tired, and walk away when something becomes draining. For everyone else, the job is not about self expression or joy but about maintaining stability in a system that offers little mercy. Even careers that look glamorous from the outside often conceal long hours, constant pressure, and the quiet erosion of personal time. In that sense, soul draining work is not a personal failure or a lack of ambition, but a structural reality. The system rewards endurance, not comfort, and most people spend their lives paying the cost of that arrangement.
