Full time workers are a dying breed in 2021

And here I am lucky if I get two days off in a row. Literally took breaking my hand to get a break. Side note still wanna cuss out the girl from urgent care when I asked for a note for work. She asked if I could return to work tomorrow. I said no I work in a prison my hands are pretty important so she asked if I could return in 2 days.

School is for nerds and work is for suckers.

I live my life a quarter mile at a time.

They enjoy their freedom of not being a slave to the system.

---

Yeah, when some users have admitted they just chill at home all day doing shit all, I put their opinion in a bin. Same with known virgins commenting on sexuality themed topics.

---

Might be that the first wave of people voting are the first ones waking up to go to work early, or have already been up and stay at home, hence the results. Could be wrong, but that was my take at first glance.

I'm homeless, not that I could afford school or keep a job before that happened.

Notice no option for RETIRED.

You should have wrote nor go to school. Topic title made me think 25% of us were either unemployed or going to school.

If this was a decade or two ago I would wager some of those users in the poll were teenagers or underage users. Since this is GameFAQs in 2021, most of those votes are definitely adults in their late 20s and older, and there is a chance a number of them were unemployed before the pandemic.

Wouldn't they have selected the 1st option?

been neeting for 5 years now, i'm about to try my luck on job hunts with the delta variant roaming around

I believe that many GameFAQs users have caught on to the fact that life is fundamentally meaningless, so why bother? Many also have subpar phenotypes which make job interviews a challenge. Theyre better off just doing SSDI and debating video games on the internet or perhaps playing some. If you really want to dedicate yourself to this lifestyle, jobs just get in the way imo. Imagine being able to play every Gamecube or PS1 game ever made, wagecucks cant do this imo. Anyway, back to my point, life is fundamentally meaningless and wagecucking is a joke, I wouldnt get out of bed for less than $400k.

Who pays for your stuff, parents? SSDI? Discuss.

There are options for all levels of School

I'd also like to point out that this poll is not eight hours old yet and a fair number of students may not have even awoken this morning.

and some motivation arose when a friend died recently, old classmate, he had a wife and kids, and i want to support her in these tough times

Good on you but DONT just try to have sex with her. DONT go there, dont be that guy, Nukazie
What caused you to be a NEET? For many, it was the republican caucus of congress screwing up the economic recovery for the last 13 years. Wbu? Major/GPA? What Clique were you in in school? Discuss.

I dont know when polls go up but wagies are waking up now, if anything well just have waves through the day and night of NEETs waking up

How do people qualify for ssdi? What keeps you going if life is so pointless?

I do both but I'm not about to let the CNet data farmers know this for their data mining operations.

They work for their parents and just don't know

what's a graduate student?

also i thought grade school = elementary school? is that false?

Graduate school would be after your bachelor degree in college.
Grade school is k-12 I would assume from the poll options

There's no poll vote for volunteer work / unpaid carer :(

really weird that there's differentiation between bachelor and master students imo

"Graduate" can also be known as "post-graduate". Basically anyone working towards a Master's or Doctorate degree.

And yeah... grade school is generally elementary school lmao

Over 26%, youre terrible a math btw

I think three factors skew these numbers the most ;

10-12% of Americans are on disability
Early retirement or living of inheritance
Gamers tend to be perfectionist and want to do work only if the fit the role thats right for them

I think theyre mostly just less confident and more afraid to get out of their comfort zone

I have never claimed to be good at math but 26.2% is over 25% so this isnt the gotcha you seem to think it is, shit head.

Im so god damned depressed I wish I could just go back to school or live the neet life.

i fucking hate my job, barely make enough money to save even a tiny bit of it every paycheck, I am exhausted and feel like shit every single day. I have a bachelors degree but its never done me any good whatsoever (english degree lol). And theres no good jobs around me in the rural south.

I just wish I could do something relatively stress free, not worry about money or my health (physical and mental), and just be fucking happy again.

They either get disabled or contrive fake disabilities that doctors sign off on.
What keeps me going, you ask? Inertia, cowardice, and the hope that making $400k will provide some short-term comfort in this meaningless existence.

maybe you need to start working on something thats yours, start a business or something

There is. Man are you one of the NEETs? Your brain just isn't working today haha.
College student = Undergrad
Graduate Student = "Master student," as you call it.
The only goofy poll option is "grade school," but this is basically a regional thing. In Canada, people just say, "Grade 12" the same as they would say "Grade 1." In most parts of the U.S. "grade school" basically refers to elementary/intermediate school i.e. K-5, with middle school and HS being seen as discrete entities.
Really they should've just had one option for "Student" and been done with it but the poll was probably created by a low-GPA NEET haha jk.

You should try self-teaching Engineering. That's what I did, and now I make $400k soooooooooo....

not much, i guess i wanted to be different from my mates, tried video game programming, 3000 hours of wasted time, finished engineering but not really proud of how i accomplished it, i dont really know where to start on a job and anxiety about it is kicking in, i'm thinking i'd be fine packing fudge or some mindless repetitive job just to get out of the house

How did you "accomplish" it? By googling stuff?
Why was it wasted time, do you suck at it or was the end result pointless?
Brother you self-taught Engineering, all you have to do now is go on job interviews and ace them and you'll make $400k like me. If you have legit crippling anxiety and don't mind screwing your brain up with side effects, you should dabble in some anti-anxiety meds. JMO, YMMV but I think $400k/year is worth having altered brain chemistry.
