What can a 27 year old wage slave do to escape the matrix in under a year?

[GuineaDago585]

This rat race is starting to cause me legitimate physical health problems srs.

[Anachron]

I am pretty sure making more whiny threads on the misc is going to solve all your problems.

[LethalGunz34]

What prohibits you from pursuing a career in something that you enjoy?

[GuineaDago585]

I get bout 3.50% temporary relief whenever I vent on the misc (srs)

What prohibits you from pursuing a career in something that you enjoy?

Time, money and a lack of direction. I don’t even know what I would enjoy srs. I remember growing up whenever they’d ask what we wanted to be as an adult, I never had an answer. Not that I was indecisive like most kids, I just literally had nothing come to mind.

[Issobolic28]

What's the alternative? Working for yourself?

I am with you on that dude, I am 33 and just went through rehab and currently doing outpatient and working part time at home depot barely making ends meet.. I just applied for financial aid but I dont know what I would enjoy .. initially I was considering IT but you need a lot of certifications and maybe 2 years min degree and then from what I read its not that easy and that nowadays you got to fight for a low paying help desk job to just get your foot in the door.

I wanted to be maybe dnr but now with my record thats probably out the door.

Theres welding but that can be a fight unless you want to work a low paying assembly line type job and sweat your balls off all day.

I thought maybe electrician but that would probably be hard to get your foot in the door. Will probably need 2 years minimum then most places want experience so maybe fight for a apprenticeship.

Im considering hvac because it might be easier to get into. Probably less than a year of vocational school. But I dont think it sounds like something I would really have passion about baha.

[Lexira]

Ask the Lord Almighty for an escape and preference over other wage slaves, and pray that your prayers will be received, trust that you will escape, and you will.

Damn bro respect for getting your life back on track. The job market is tough right now. It’s an employer’s market, wages are stagnant and positions are more competitive than ever. I’ve often juggled with the idea of joining a trade because my friend is in the sheet metal union, but apprentices start off at like $17/hr which is a starvation wage for me. I make $25 currently and still barely scrape by. I need A LOT of money immediately. I literally can’t afford to hustle for 5 years until I become a mechanic. Maybe you’re more risk tolerant than I am, I say go for HVAC.

Honestly if I could just be a janitor I think that would be a nice life tho srs. You get to work at your own pace, work is rewarding, your results are instant and you’re actually contributing to society unlike with these bullchit office jobs. But again, terrible pay. Every single janitor position I see in my area pays well under $20/hr.

It’s so fkin ridiculous that to reach the middle class most people have to sell our souls to work in some corporate office space just to make a halfway decent salary.

[dingler]

Live cheaply and save. Start a business, use it to reduce your tax liability. Buy income generating assets under your business.

[pojo18]

idk, but you have to start somewhere.

you waste every day you've been given by complaining here 24/7

[monster0ultra]

The accurate measure of how well you've done isn't where you are, it's where you started relative to where you got.

Most people go through life doing what they're supposed to and never go above and beyond.

OP's father was a janitor and OP himself is from the class that doesn't go to college. He's already gone above and beyond and advanced his station and has done way more than most of you criticizing him.

You can absolutely make it work. You are not good with money and spend way too much. If you had better money habits you'd be able to tough it out for 5 years. You'd only be 32 years old by then.

[MikeLowrrrey]

You're gonna almost need pure luck to escape in under a year.

Earnie already explained it but, the best ways to escape wage slavery:


-SalesMAXX and save every commission check. You can pull $150k - $200k/yr with the right experience. Live on 1/3 of that and save every pay check.


-Start your own business. Self-explanatory.

[TheScapeGOAT]

How about an air traffic controller?

Maybe start construction so you could be outside?

How do you escape the “matrix”?

You don’t

That's a beautiful sentiment. I didn't know you were such a softie.


OP doesn't like me because I speak the truth. The truth is there isn't a way to reach financial independence in a year. OP has been complaining for years. Had he started actually making moves when he started complaining, he'd have achieved his goal by now.

The reality is it takes work, and you need to put in that work. No one is gonna do it for you. So get to it. Remember OP, I'm only this hard on you because

[NMS3]

Ask yourself what you want out of life for the foreseeable future. Nobody can answer this except you.
Is it financial freedom? Is it a new career? Do you want to help people? Do you want a relationship? Do you want to have more freedom to do hobbies? Do you want to relax for a bit and rediscover your passions?

Again, only you can figure that out through your own self awareness. After you have settled on what it is that you’d like, then you’ll just need to focus on that “goal.” And the steps to achieving it will present itself. But you need to know what it is that you’re seeking to “escape” the matrix. If you have no clear idea, its tough to move anywhere/make progress.

[CellyTech]

Try men

[MiscMathematician]

unless serious obligations, study something you like, rather than decide for yourself what you should become

if you like IT for example, make it your passion, learn everything you can. the certificiations are just exams, minor annoyances.

Every job or career I have had in my life has been better than the previous, to the point I am where I am today owning my own business.

Everything, & I mean everything from wife, houses, career path is ALL from God’s grace & blessings He has given me. When I was an atheist I was just a drifter with no direction, when I surrendered my life to God, He set me on a path & though I stray at times, He always brings me back.

Jesus.....your complaints on everything are that they might take actual effort and drive and work to accomplish them. You sound like the laziest POS on the entire misc.

You'll never see a "rich" person who became wealthy working JUST a 9-5. You need to supplement that income.

There's tons of ways to make money online a simple youtube search will give you endless options.

Instead of making money online you can try:

-parking is a big issue. You can buy a parking lot and charge .50c for half hour
-Contracting ATM's out to local businesses
-Contracting vending machines to local businesses
-opening/buying a car wash
-opening/buying a laundry mat
-Medical/non-emergency transportation services. Get paid to transport old folks to an from their doctors appointments who are too old to drive. With an aging boomer population this one can actually be a full time job. You'll also have the opportunity to transport medical equipment between hospitals (medical devices/organs if you have the proper means of refrigeration).

These are all side hustles that only take a few hours per week to maintain but can bring in some pretty decent money.

If you don't have some latent talent or skill you can tap to add exponential value to a high-paying industry you're going to have to hit a lottery of some kind or go off the grid.

Honestly I don't think you'd make it off the grid.

So lotto.

Or, accept that it will take longer than 1 yr. Probably 5 to 10. Those 5 to 10 years will pass whether you do something with them or not, so really you need to realize the only way you can lose that time is by wasting it.

Plot out a pathway to a life you think you'd be satisfied with living and get started.

It shouldn't have to be that way. Even if he's venturing into a field he knows nothing about there are hundreds of thousands of hours of youtube videos on how to start and perform the various jobs we've presented to the op ITT.

If he is truly wanting to fold a half decade or full decade of progress into 1 yr that is the way it is.

I'm with you. The most valuable thing op can employ right now is patience.

[eddiehaskell]

i never really knew what i wanted to do either...so from the teens i made it a goal to get out ahead of the curve so i could do whatever i want or nothing at all.

literally cannot think of a job i'd want to do everyday....and doing it everyday for years on end would've likely broke me mentally regardless of the money.

God help you brahs that are working to find peace in what you do.

[87dman]

Pick up a side gig where you can earn some extra cash on the side, maybe get a certification in a field of interest and then take the plunge and begin again as a newbie on the work force.

Sometimes when we are in a box, it's hard to see a way out.

OP simps for Jesus just as hard as you do yet his circumstances aren't good.

Explain that. If Jesus is real, how come he isn't blessing OP? Is Jesus just testing his faith?
