We may hate work and think work's bad, but have you ever considered what kind of job you'd actually be into should you ever have the opportunity? I was thinking about it and if it didn't conflict with all the other learning goals I have I'd like to try out being a chef and getting an intense course on actually busting my ass to make food for people. Think it'd be the kind of opportunity that'd really help me out in the long run for not just having the ability to perform a job that'll never lose appeal, but also to be capable in making food for myself and not having to go out to eat for a really nice meal.

There are no jobs that I would be into. If someone is forcing me to do something it just becomes a chore.

But if someone is forcing you to do something you actually do it, is the point. You can't force motivation on your own but if you have a reason to force motivation then maybe you can work something out.

Sadly I'm already a w*geslave, but if given a choice for an ideal job, I don't have anything specific in mind but I do have criteria
¥ It's just me. no customers, no coworkers, barebones boss overhead (IE boss shows up once a week or something just to see if im alive)
¥ its a simple light physical job, not an office one (not physically tiring unless I get extra into it, can be done both seated and standing for comfort's sake)
¥ Mindless enough that I can just put headphones on and listen to whatever while I do it
¥ if i mess something up, it should be easy to fix
I'm not even really as anti-social as you'd assume after reading this, its just that if I have to work I'd want to do it quietly and not be forced to deal with people. Customers though, fuck that. Fuck that with a bomb.

I feel somewhat the same way but in particular, owning a pub or a brewery. Basically something where I get to cook and/or make alcohol but I have the ability to add my own personal touches to it. I like my current job in the tech field but the current market and where I live doesn't really give me much options to find work that's lined up with my interests, the theoretical math side of things, so I've been thinking about what ifs as of late.

If things were different (personality, location, perhaps even time period) I imagine myself as a baker making fresh bread and stuff for people in a small village as I make small talk with them each day. Or maybe just a gardener or florist. One of those simple things where you provide a tangible service to a group of people you know and have bonded with. Food is an obvious choice since we all need it to survive, of course. Easy to form connections and find meaning and purpose in such a thing.
Our monkey brains evolved to perform in these small settings and and not as a cog in a giant corporate machine serving an indeterminate goal to faceless customers we'll never see again. As such it's hard to find motivation for something we were never intended to do.

These read bittersweet if you interpret the serving of food as some kind of longing for positive interaction with nice, likeminded people. I hope every anon will be able to realize their dream and / or passion eventually, and if it's a food place, I'd love to visit and hang out.

 No.155422

>>155421
Thanks for the support, hope your dreams and passions come true as well. That said, honestly, my reasons aren't that deep. I can't speak for the others but what makes a job fulfilling for me is being able to directly see the impact of your efforts. Cooking is one of the few hobbies I have that I can make a living off of while meeting that criteria so it's something I wish I could do. From a pragmatic perspective, I couldn't complain with my current job otherwise. I just wish it aligned with my interests more.

Comfy as HELL yume.
Don't bakers need to wake up super early? It seems like it would be an easy job for a NEET to adjust to, since we're already used to being awake at ungodly hours.

I'd really enjoy loli gardening.
Spending my days in a nice sunny garden and working with my hands to grow and nurture lolis. Deciding on their feeding regimen and coming up with cool and cute clothes for them to wear. Checking their feet to ensure they're still shaped correctly. When the loli is ready, she is sold for marriage, and that is how I make my living.

I love my job though.
Being a PI is pretty much the best job. Your job is pretty much "idea guy", which basically just means reading a lot of literature and coming up with things that are within your budget and your means. Occasionally you tell people what to do or help them with some stuff here and there, it's very fun and low effort. Writing is easy too!
You can show up whenever, you can leave whenever, you can work from home, nobody cares!

>since we're already used to being awake at ungodly hours
Yeah, but not WORKING all of those hours. Baking requires you to be awake 4 AM and have most stuff out of the oven before 8. And this is without even considering having to actually SELL IT to the customers. Best case scenario, you don't own a place, and instead just bake bread and stuff for another business like restaurants, bars, schools, stalls, or something like that. Dealing with just a few other owners sounds easier to me than with a lot of random people.

 No.155459

>>155446
Historically, the people doing the baking weren't the ones doing the selling.
