Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.

As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

It sounds like your parents are ok with the arrangement, assuming that's true you don't need to start right by jumping into the job market. I have a job and a house and I fucking hate it, if I had the time there are so many things I'd rather be doing. If you just spend time out in the community, being helpful and generally pleasant, you can make connections and there's a good chance one of those people will know of a good job opening for you, they might even end up being the owner if you're lucky. I'm not sure if that's viable for your situation or not, but don't assume you have to go straight to the exploitation machine

Yeah this isn't a bad idea. If you can pass a background check you can volunteer to drop in and TA in your local high school for example if you're up for it. When you're out in the world like that bumping into people it increases the likelihood of someone dropping you a line on a job like infinity % compared to staying inside staring at a screen.
