@ Soul Man Sometimes people are born with a talent for certain things. In the hospital those cute little spinner nurses are good for something else. Those dainty little hands are the best thing to remove fecal impaction! Medicine is such a glamorous job.

Now there’s a job I don’t think I would want!  LOL!  Can you imagine reaching up the ass of some beach whale to remove that ham sammich that took a wrong turn in its colon in 1974?  I’d rather swim in sewage!

Funny thing is I’m generally over-educated for the field I work in (BS degree).  That has been a challenge in itself.  I came from the tech field because of incessant outsourcing overseas.  Even now I am considering re-inventing myself for a different career.  The problem is I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up!

Hey SoulMan. I’ve been mired in s~~~ (political/legal/legislative) since 1974, Ya get use to it! Then when you approach officials, both legislative, and judicial, YOU GET THE BUMS RUSH! But they NEVER forget the foul smell!

How about having a corporate controlled camera and mike in your house 24/7? It’s only a matter of time before they start doing it. They are just like women as they keep pushing the boundaries until you just put your foot down and walk.

True, that. The Firm was a great movie at the time but too close to reality. When you put your foot down and walk, you MGTOW those motherf~~~ers and they are suddenly powerless. Ive noticed this with women, jobs, women IN jobs and they end up losing, going out of business and going bankrupt. I want to see MGTOW in the tens of millions and watch the panic.

Soul Man, I really am saddened by the fact that there are so few male nurses, teachers, caregivers, etc.

Because women are the vast majority of nurses, mothers, teachers, etc, people think of women as more ‘caring.”  My sons have ONE male daycare worker, and he’s just the activity coordinator.

So all people, male and female, grow up thinking women are naturally more caring, more nurturing. And that is how we treat each other.  Men are trusted less.

When my sons see a woman, they think “person who takes care of me” and when they see a man they think “person I’m not supposed to talk to.”   I’m really fighting that perception but it’s a massive uphill battle.

Also, what the f~~~ is so bad about s~~~ and puke?  Guys go to war and shoot at each other for f~~~s sake!  Why should we get queasy at the idea of cleaning up bodily emissions?

@smacktalk

All valid points…just speaking from the perspective of having literally been knee-deep in s~~~.  That s~~~ stinks bad BUT…handling a smelly tuna-stench fat t~~~ would probably give me a perma-softie!  Just sayin…plus I do think women are better equipped when it comes to being callous and uncaring.  Frankly this is an asset if you are working around people who die on a regular basis.  I once seriously considered pediatric nursing but decided I would probably lose my s~~~ emotionally in that role.  I have a real soft spot for kids but not much else.

Careers…

I work to live, retail, and whatever I have to left I use, or save, for my hobbies and my own projects. After a failed promotion, some years ago, I finally woke up, to go into some deeper soul searching, to become my own boss,  and hopefully some day, sooner than later, not working for someone nor boss others around, other than having clients for freelance gigs or something.

Have been studying concept art; Gesture, Figure drawing, and all the things that comes with it, for a year, and rather casual drawing/painting before that, still better at manipulating pictures but don’t see much work to be had there, since I’m not aiming to be a photographer either. But rather become good at concept art in characters and compositions, to later, hopefully make my own visual novel(s), which is probably many years from now. But hopefully on the road to that, getting some character/illustration stuff done under my belt.

 

I’m in here for the long haul, not really for the money, other than the bare minimum, but to be more free, and work for myself, not others.

Interesting input from everyone, it’s awesome to see what people do, and how they got there. @keymaster, working to live is something that I stick by – I could never see a job as a hobby unless I was say, making a living from working at a Record Store or selling videogames or some s~~~ like that.

I’m honestly thinking of doing something like customs at the airport or something, either way, I’ll keep things interesting by working different jobs, and hell, some jobs people wouldn’t regularly do – like working at an oil rig or a mine or some s~~~. Get it done and dusted, save some cash and go to Japan for a holiday. Success is something that’s simple for me – it’s keeping afloat and doing what I want to do – it’s not having a new BMW, or a McMansion in some s~~~ty suburbia estate with a pseudo-riche name, or wearing a certain brandname or eating at 5-star restaurants… I can cook a mean meal myself.

College and University seems to beat this idea into your head that what you study alone is the end of the road, and if you don’t impress and take it up the ass from some corporation who decided to pick you up for some free work, or if you don’t get really good at regurgitating “knowledge” from some text book and compress it into 2000 words, then that’s it – you’re screwed.

Working my ass off to get some grey-suit, white collar, cookie cutter, hamster wheel job where my “responsibilities” are to organize meetings and make some f~~~ing c~~~ more money through mundane (advertising, TV, etc.) means? Yeah…………………….. sounds f~~~ing fulfilling……………………

In a couple of weeks I have to do a speech on mindfulness, working out, meditation, and crushing depression geared towards males at my college. I’m really thinking of dropping some of this knowledge in – and talking about MGTOW, but never mentioning it. I think I’ll throw it in by talking about removing any sense of inhibition, embracing masculinity, and talking about how important the approval from within, is more important than the approval of others (ie. female approval). If I can hype these boys up and make them understand that sitting there and thinking about what they do have within, and making something more if it will put them lightyears ahead of other men (blue-pill men) who always bitch and moan about what they don’t have, I’d hope that I could change their lives in some way – even if it’s just trying to open their minds a little bit. Any suggestions are welcome – as long as they don’t land me in a meeting with the chancellor hahaha.

I have changed lines of work DRASTICALLY. At least 3 completely opposite “careers” and lives. You would never guess what I used to do for a living – or believe it probably – but the reason I ended up here and do what I do now, is because I did as much as possible. I tried to do EVERYTHING and create as many opportunities as possible and believe that to be the key. Today the idea of doing the same thing for 35 years like my father did is virturally unheard of.

This reminds me of something that I was told at a job one time and I cannot remember who they attributed it to but they told me that “from the time you enter the “workforce” you should switch jobs to something completely different than you have done before every 18 months until you get to a point where you want to settle into a career. It takes 18 months or less to figure out 90% of the job so you should get as many different experiences as you can.”

Now obviously this presumes you want a career but either way it makes a lot of sense to be exposed to many different fields and roles. I just wish I had been told before I ended up married with my first child, I would have done some things differently.

MG-Tower: People have no idea of the diseases in non-waste water especially down here when the water temp goes above 80F. The fresh and brackish waters are the worse than salt waters. We’re talking brain eating amoeba and flesh eating bacteria among others.

Back in the 90s, this guy in a rural county jumped into his pond for a swim, the brain amoeba got his ass. They go up your nose and into your brain. They’re rare but very high fatality rate.

Soul Man: We used to trespass on some aerator pond’s cat walks as teens. You’re right. I salute you!!!

I tell anyone who will sit still long enough that you have to “Do what you can so you can do what you want.”

People talk to me about getting a degree and a good job or following their dreams and I just cough <bulls~~~> at them. Unless you want to do something where lives hang in the balance, you probably don’t need a degree… a job isn’t something you get, it’s something you DO… and trying to make a living pursuing your dreams is the fast way to go broke and learn to hate the one thing in life that gives you pleasure.

The trick is to find something you’re good at… really good at… even if you don’t give a f~~~ about it or even if you hate it… then do that as well as you can for as little time as you can in order to make enough money to live comfortably and have the resources and freedom to spend on the things you give a damn about.

If you want to design renewable power systems but have no engineering skills but happen to be a really great car salesman then sell cars for three days a week so you can buy tools and spend the rest of your time in the garage with a book tinkering. Chances are you’ll invent something better and cheaper than if you’d gone to university… or at least you’ll live well enough and have fun trying.

Me, I happen to be good at explaining technical things to idiots so I create software tools for real estate agents for a living… but I love astronomy so I do that purely for my own enjoyment and edification.

It’s the Law of Competitive Advantage combined with the Slacker mentality… do what you’re best at for your income and do just enough of it to be able to afford to live the life you want to live.

I stopped worrying about a career years ago when I found out that keeping a job was more a matter than politics than actual talent or accomplishment.  I’ve seen too many people succeed merely by cozying up to the boss.

 

After that, I started working merely for a paycheque.  I’m semi-retired now, living off the income from my investments.  If someone wants my services, they can find me.

Not to mention all the other nasty stuff in that effluence that I don’t even want to think about.

[John DoeParticipant 743]

I bounced “careers/jobs” more than anyone here.  And I am probably one of the youngest on this thread too.

Sales/door to door advertising/security/warehouse/restaurant/fast food/carpentry/oil rig roustabout/seminary/jrotc (career opener)/ sheriff-county jail intern/ farming/ janitor

Have not fought in a war, yet.  But that is about it.   I am an MGTOW.  F~~~ careers.  I plan on exploring more.  Life is an adventure, literally speaking.  If you are bored it is your fault.  My next goal is to live in the wilderness and see how that goes.

 

[knightslayerParticipant 36]

i’ve jumped jobs a lot. in recent years,  i quickly realized that if i don’t want to spend the rest of my life doing back breaking labor for meager wages, i’ll have to spend a lot of money educating myself about a career i have little interest in or moving up in a company i don’t give a s~~~ about. thing is, i don’t have to settle for a career. i have this potential for greatness that many people see in me, but for some reason, i continue to hold myself back.

That’s interesting… too many men are held back from achieving their dreams by OTHERS (girlfriends, wives,. kids, obligations, debt etc) and personally, I have had to fight this constant “you should” from every major person in my life in order to not be trapped.

It struck me as odd to hear a man say he was holding HIMSELF back. Elaborate?

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

[KeymasterKeymaster]

And PS… in response to Doc, you just reminded me of the quote from “the Most Interesting Man In the World” (The Dos Equis Beer Guy) when he said:

“In this world, you have to find out what you’re NOT good at.
… and then don’t do that thing”.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

I’ve always enjoyed that line in particular and that campaign in general. Whoever came up with that concept should be knighted and give enough gold coins that they can live forever and never work again if they don’t want to. And they’d have to buy everything using gold coins because that would be boss.

[knightslayerParticipant 36]

@keymaster : I think it has to do with self-confidence and inadequacy issues. I was raised by a single mother (though I had a lot of men coming in and out of my life) and as I grew up, I tried so desperately to impress her. All the academic/athletic awards I received were never enough. I had to mold myself to fit my mom’s idea of a success to please her, but I got burnt out before I finished high school. My life quickly spiraled into chaos. I stopped going to school, ceased contact with friends, and I became severely depressed. Logically, I knew I was lucky to be leading the life I had, yet I was profoundly unhappy. Success meant nothing if I couldn’t enjoy it. It quickly reached a point where I wanted to kill myself just so that I wouldn’t be a burden to my mom, but I never went through with it because deep down I wanted things to get better.

All that time I spent shut in chipped away at my ability to interact with people normally. I developed social anxiety which led to me never leaving the house for about two years. I finally began to integrate back into society when I started going to art school but I quickly realized it was a scam despite the institution’s fame. They were charging hundreds of thousands of dollars in tuition so I got out before my freshman year ended. I worked odd jobs here and there while I practiced on my own time and quickly gained recognition for my work. It’s only been a year since I started putting my stuff out for the world to see, but I find it difficult not to beat myself up for not really knowing where to go from here.

I’ve talked to one person who’s been at the forefront of this industry for a while now, but due to personal reasons, I’ve had to distance myself. The market for the kind of content I want to produce is located in a foreign country. I don’t know if I will have a job by the time I learn to speak the language fluently and successfully relocate. So instead of moving forward, I’m continuing to refine my skills and improve myself in different ways. Depression is something I still struggle with, but I refuse to end my life because I believe I have something important to offer the world (that, and the fact that I’ve only experienced a fraction of it). Plus, I’m not ready to part with my family just yet. Ultimately, I feel responsible for allowing things to get this bad; that’s why I say I’m holding myself back.
