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!

There arent any good jobs they all suck, theyre all exploitative wastes of time. The line of thinking you have is largely irrelevant for most people and they even have to do two jobs or more.

You use a shitty job to leverage into a better one until you eventually you can stomach staying. Only good jobs are for ppl with connections or theyre insanely lucky.

The rest of us work and I think it's best to either realize that you either need to get over it and just try to apply to things to get a foothold, or just not work and stop feeling bad about it.
