Coping mechanisms unemployed tech people get told that are harder than they're ever made out to be
>Switch to nursing!
Requires a different skillset, incl. working with your hands. It's also more HRjak-dominated.

>Switch to electrical engineering!
Requires a shit ton of more math.

>Start a 2nd bachelor's!
Debt?

>Go to med school!
Debt? And you need to qualify, can't just join.

>Go to law school!
Debt? And you need to qualify, can't just join.

>Get a Master's!
Debt? You need to qualify, they don't just take anyone. Unless it's one of those programs that only exist for money. And what if even that doesn't get you an internship/job?

>Get a PhD!
Debt? You need to qualify, they don't just take anyone.

>Start your own business!
90% of all new businesses and startups fail. And you could be in the water for years before making any profit - IF you do of course.

>Move to another country!
GL convincing other countries to take you in if you have nothing to show. Those Indian H1Bs you bitch about? They're like top 0.01% of all Indians (or related to one), not every Indian can just do it. If any Indian could, India would be empty.

>Try IT roles in the military?
In the military you don't get to choose your job. What if you don't do well on the qualification rounds, and get stuck in some pipe repairing job in fucking Brownistan trying not to get your head blown off?

I don’t understand why people get so uncontrollably upset atthe fact tradies tend to earn more money and be happier than them. I can only assume it is because so many people who expected to receive the “Graduate Premium” assumed that they were more clever than people in the trades.

Again, I'm not a white man. I'm a Chinaman.

Oh yeah and before you tell me to "fuck off and go back to China" I should also mention that I'm a 2nd generation diasporatard. And both my parents already naturalized so I don't even think I have a viable path "back to China".

Plus say I do go back there. Isn't the competition there like 10x more fierce? All my cousins have either made it to either the US or Canada, except for one almost 30 who just neets away on his dad's paycheck or pension or whatever. No income, addicted to anime, won't even rent out his apartment.

I feel like I have a duty to uphold my family name because I'm the firstborn male in line among the whole family. My dad is the eldest brother, my grandfather was an only child, and I'm the eldest brother. And I'd be spitting on my late grandfather's grave (God rest his soul) if he (and my living relatives) found out their children (my parents) worked their asses off just to get into America (my mom went to one of the Chinese Ivies), only for me to end up a fucking bartender.

A BARTENDER.

It would be more honorable to just kms I think

Was somewhat expecting a response along those lines. I'm assuming you're not a fellow chink since you seem to know NOTHING about how chink life fucking works. Everyone seems to think it's easy af to "retvrn" to China or whatever if you were born in America and have an American passport and shit. Or that we have "two passports" like that fundie evangelicaltard Jack Chick seems to think all Catholics in the US have (US + Vatican, though that does feel like an analogue or variation on the thing about Jews having US + Israel passports, or at least allegiances).

No. China HATES us. They're out to screw us all over in the worst ways ever. Like they give out free privileges to Chinese people that American Chinese people don't. America hates us too. Exhibit A, COVID. Eveyrone wants to fucking spit on us. No country will take us. The closest migt be Singapore, but do you know how hard it is to even get into Singapore? Like so many people get rejected from visas there and you have to be like a world class scientist to even live there. That's how they stay so clean I think. But yeah no one wants us. Which makes us sort of like the Wandering Jew.

We chinks honestly have a lot in common with Jews if you really think about it. Like we're forced to be "academic" and shit, and both Jews and us end up stereotyped as bucktoothed nerds who don't do fun stuff like have beach houses on the Jersey Shore or take girls to prom. Because we're so busy fucking STUDYING. Same with Koreans. Not SEA though, they're more analogous to Latinos. They might even qualify for some DEI shit we don't honestly.

Maybe we deserve to be crucified. I wonder if I would resurrect.

LUCKY YOU. Honestly my goals aren't that extravagant. Like as long as I can comfortably live in as high status of a city to be able to get pussy (and for example, not living in some barren suburb in Texas or Utah where everyone's a fucking Christard and everywhere is fucking car dependent). Even if the job pays 70k. I can at least have my own apartment instead of living with my conservatard mom.

I fucking hate America sometimes. That's one thing China does much better than America, is public transportation. Literally the entire world outside the Anglosphere, and its puppet states in the Middle East like Israel and the UAE. Heck even some of its puppet states do things much better, like Taiwan, JP and SK have infinitely better urbanism than we do. Unless you live in NY or SF which is super expensive.

during college as a freshmn i got close to this other ashbie autistic girl i met during orientation over the summer, with whom i shared some cool geeky hobbies, but lemme tell ya, hanging out with her quickly got boring bc she never fucking DID anything

like she was always going like "i'mma STUDY..."

but even SHE has a bf

now she's like "omg i'm never dating"

she's like "quirky" and thinks that women suck, and she's a self id'ed "bruh girl"

i actually waged she'd turn out to troon out after a bit, but she actually ended up being quite terfy, and r-voting and stuff. like she was once a short haired geeky tomboy but then she grew out her hair.

my point is that even SHE went out to prom with a man. and SHE had a bf during like fresh-soph year. they broke up because he didn't like her being a bruh girl

but yeah she's a conservative too. not a jesus freak thank goodness. but like... she pretty much acts like one. in particular an asian jesus freak. i've met plenty of those at my church fellowship. which i literally only go to rn to have a third space. i actually got the aforementioned "survival job" from them since cold applying wasn't working. job itself wasn't religious but hte owners were.

i fucking hate how unaffordable everything is. even in fucking texas, idaho, montana, and wyoming. hell even OHIO, which i considered really underrated while looking up houses for fun in junior year HS (right after COVID), has seen raises in house prices. rn i'm on the eastern seaboard but rn things are going in the direction of california in terms of how much everything costs, and i really fucking hate it.

"just move to podunk oklahoma". well where the fuck am i supposed to find a girl in podunk oklahoma (who isn't a fat karen jesus freak)

then some interloper shows up. moves inside of this house you built, because his is a complete pile of shit. eats your food. trashes the place. tells him how much he hates the owners of the house, and tries to hold the door open for more of these scumbags.

if i had a remote job and a vpn i'd 100% do that. well, to either there, or if china itself wasn't too hot, like taiwan. taiwan seems fun. too bad that's about it for cities that speak chinese. maybe i should learn vietnamese. too bad i already poured several months into learning japanese.

japan is dying but i might go. i heard fukuoka is nice and i know people who've gotten pussy there. guy was korean american and they have a lot of koreans.

but then again i'm not sure i want an asian asian as a gf/wife. those can be a bit skeevy. i've dealt with em.

maybe i should become a volcel. you could stick me in a room with a white/hispanic blonde/brunette thin supermodel with big booba and a perfect figure and i wouldn't do or feel much. idrt i even have an "ideal woman". but i'm not gay either since i have 0 attraction to men either. and you can probably guess how i feel about "aidans".

maybe i should jump off a local bridge. i actually have a designated spot for it that i've been thinking. i know most of those tall bridges have tall mesh railings to prevent people from doing just that, but what i'm planning on doing is parking my car there at like 1 am and climbing up the roof of my car. hopefully that's tall enough to climb over.

once i kms then i can promise you you'll have a much better life. things will return to how they were pre 9/11. you'll have a gf. you'll have a car and a house. no more worries about covid or immigratino or whatever you're worried about. you will find the girl of your dreams. costs will come down and competion will lower. there will be overall less evil in this world.

Anon, you have to go beyond yourself and realize that there aren't that many good people in the world, and most of the good people in the world want to kill themselves in these days. But that's a really dumb idea, because the world has a life span well beyond the short lives of single humans. What matters is not so much the world we experience in our own short lives, sure that's important, but rather the world we leave behind is important to far more people than ourselves. Taking yourself out early is dumb.

>different skillset
As an autodidact, a personal failing of mine is that I automatically assume everyone else has the same intelligence, skills and abilities I do - then I get disappointed when they flounder and fail miserably.
>OH GOD NO MATHMATICS!!
Maths is the source code of the Universe - the language of God. Anyone who cannot do mathematics should concentrate on being a barista.
>Debt?
An unfortunate reality in our current year.
I would offer the advice of living within your means. I do not own any iCrap. I have a mortgage, but our vehicles are used and all paid for, in cash. I keep them running because I usually do 90% of the maintenance myself. Taught myself how.
Also, stop eating out all the time. Learn to cook. If you can memorize a Mario pattern and save Princess Peach, you can follow a simple recipe.
Save money, which can then be used for other purposes. Like classes.
>Business!
Yes, a great many fail. The marker is 4 years. If you have not succeeded by Year 4, then fall back and regroup. Come at it again. Stay within your means and grow your customer base slowly. Don't get out over your skis.
But, 100% of those who do not try to start their own business fail at business.
>Move!
Depends. If you have a skill set that is in demand someplace else, this is viable.
>Military
Again, depends. Profoundly. Some services? Viable. Being a machinist's mate in the Navy would get you a skill set and plenty of experience, nobody would really fuck with you and currently there's nobody shooting at the Navy.
You could even pull that off in the Coast Guard - which I understand to be slightly better accommodations and the added benefit of not being sent to far flung shitholes around the world.

6am: Wake up, feeling like you've been in a car crash. Drag yourself out of bed to possibly force a shit out too early in the morning, shower and get dressed. If you're extra tired you just get dressed and leave after starring into the abyss and pondering life for an hour.
7am: Commute to work. If you're lucky it will be a 20 minute walk or drive. That's probably not the case. You probably enter the rat race with fellow wagies on the road, foot paths, public transport for 30-40 minutes
8am: Enter the building wanting to die. Manager smiling from ear to ear, hello happy campers, team meeting !
1pm: You've got a choice. Sit in the work canteen with people you can't stand, or walk back to your car that takes time out of your lunch break, but gives you time to reflect on how you hate your life
3pm: You want to go home, but you've got 2 more hours
5pm: You leave work, enter the rat race again, do it all over again
6pm: If you're lucky, you walk in through the door. You're unsure if you want to wank, shit, eat, sleep or cry.
7pm: After pondering for an hour, you force yourself to eat, household chores are on your mind, you do some, leave others
8pm: You're tired as fuck at this point. You shit post, scroll some shit on social media. You start to have a good time, but then oh shit time flies when you're having fun and its
10pm: I need to go sleep, need to be up at 6am. Now I've got a choice, cry myself to sleep or stay awake for a 2-3 hours more and wake up even more exhausted. You rotate those options over 5 days.
11:30pm: You've been in bed for 40 minutes exhausted and unable to sleep, but then go to sleep

"Bugland" used in my post refers to any "Asian" country with a massive underclass of disposable grunt slave labor vaguely on the other side of the Pacific that globohomo offshored all our production to back during the Clinton Administration...
Because they sold the Boomers on the idea that if we offshored our production to Bugland and had their infinite army of slaves make brightly colored plastic crap, the cost of everything would go down while the Boomers made a living doing each other's laundry
Their quality of life would go up.
And it worked, for a time.
Of course now the butcher bill is due... just in time for them to all fucking die.

Society is built around caste systems.
We are supposed to pretend it's not, but it is.
People who go into trades are supposed to stay middle caste, higher than the no skillset jobs, but less than the graduates.
People who get degrees are supposed to move into the higher caste, originally high class, but as the investment class grew the graduates now could only reliably become upper middle class, and now many of them barely stay middle class now that the investor class has been coronated as the most important class despite providing no physical value to the world.
This is a fundamental breach of the social contract that holds society together.

Every society that sees revolution or collapse, sees it shortly after the middle class realizes they have no way to actually secure upper class roles for their children.
This is why every successful revolution is led by rich people, since they're the ones who have to get cucked to get angry enough to unify us proles beneath them.

I'm Gen X.
I have a bit of advice, even though you haven't asked for any.
Whatever you think you're going to be doing for the rest of your life, you are wrong.
You adapt and do what you have to do to get by - it is what it is. Best get used to that idea right now.
Pick something you like to do, then try to be better at it than everyone else.
If you genuinely enjoy doing something, then you don't go to work every day - you go to fun every day.
As far as your old man being out of touch?
The actual Boomers are very much disconnected from the rest of civilization - most of them anyway.
When they spew that "just bootstrap yourself like I did" crap, it makes me want to vomit.
Born 10 steps from home plate, money backed by gold, country 90% White, roaring economy...
All they had to do was not fuck it up - they couldn't even manage that much.
There is no "bootstrapping" anymore.
I want you to look and see where you want to be 5 or 10 years from now. What your goal is. Then work backwards and lay out the steps - the "because of" instead of the "and then this happened".
Stop thinking like history is something that happens to other people.

I agree with most of your post.
I would only add that many younger gens were sold on the idea that "everyone deserved" to go to University.
Degrees used to mean something, back when it was still a meritocracy and only about 10% of the population qualified to go.
With "everyone deserving" to go to university, they had to invent a whole genre of bullshit degrees for fake jobs that didn't exist - each with their own staff, hierarchy, gatekeepers, budgets, bureaucracy, campuses, etc - and at least with the Americans they cannot discharge student loan debt via bankruptcy.

Don't take my In-Group preference too personally, There isn't a fucking race on earth who hasn't been FUCKED out of something by the kikes, and Chinks are WAY more open about their "Racisms" than ANY of the West- To our detriment.
jews funded every aspect of Gommunisms, and were just as balls deep in Chinkland as they have been in the West.

If I were living in a White Ethno-State, I'd have NO ISSUE conducting trade and commerce with ANY race, as long as it was not zero-sum and done honestly and honorably.
Chinks have an incredibly BAD track record with this, despite their numbers in the 4th quartile of intelligence,(Provided they didn't cheat.)

and it wasn't even technical at all, like they didn't grill me on any lc, sql queries, etc. no DSA, no systems design, no computer trivia

it wasn't even purely tech it was at like some small non tech company

and within like 1 minute of me talking about my self, the guy was like "ok hang on ur not doing this right, let's turn this into an interview on how to interview" and then just went over every single way i screwed up

since the guy was brown (tho could hardly tell if indian or sth else), i have a hunch he wanted to hire someone else of the same brown ethnicity. but like he was pretty obviously a 2nd gen zoomer american (like me but 10x more employed) so maybe that might genuinely not have been the case

at least we had a moment of honest feedback which is like rare in this job market

To be honest, the Automotive industry is MAXIMUM POZZ, from what I've heard from Mechanics.
The diagnostic machine that is NECESSARY to even do anything on a car, is something insane like 80K + a yearly subscription to firmware updates.
Cars here are going the route that large appliances did, they are designed to FAIL in an expense way in 3-5 year increments a few times, then you are supposed to give up and just Buy/Lease an new one.

It might just be better to start your own large appliance company like Refrigerators, Stoves and Dishwashers that last for 100 years and while styles may differ, parts are easily found.
Who cares if you only sell 1 per household? With the SHIT quality and scammy workmanship of 99% on the market today, you'll have hundreds of millions of buyers. Then you can move onto other appliances and innovations while still having a good service standard as a model.
