Antiwork

I'm going for clinical mental health counseling (CMHC) license in IL. I acknowledge I'm in a privileged position. But I still hate it They charge for undergrad They charge for grad school (which is really just jobs training you have to pay to get) Pay for testing (including a multiple choice test on freuds old dumb theories about the phallic stage of life). Complete BS by the monopolist testing company Pearson. A paper test doesnt prove to anyone I can counsel Then you have to get 700 hours as an intern. But for the first semester only 100 max can count. I had over 400 but only 100 count. Who can afford to work 9-12 months for free while likely being in massive debt already? And then the industry is completely captured by insurance companies. No diagnosis, no coverage. And only certain diagnoses are covered. The diagnoses themselves are often…

Anyone else look at American society and infrastructure and just frustrated at how much they waste? Look at cars thanks to car companies lobbying against public transportation the only real option you have is to buy a 2 ton vehicle even if your only use for it is get to work and back and then thrown in the scrap heap. Thats 2 tons of metal, plastic, electronics, and rubber that could have been used for much more beneficial purposes not to mention the oil and gas used. A train or a bus could transport close to a thousand people a day much quicker. Food. Most restraunts and grocery stores would rather see their expired food burn then let somebody have food they didnt pay for. Its not like they will be sued if they give it out the 1996 good samaritan food donation act made sure of that. Dont get…

Hello everyone! I need some advice. So, I worked at a restaurant for a couple years and I absolutely loved it. Long story short, a rep working for a Verizon authorized retailer offered me a job one day while I was working there and I took it. Promised me more pay and better hours. Well he wasn’t lying but I absolutely hate the job and I find it very soul sucking. There is a lot of bs that goes on here and I’m absolutely sick of it. What’s holding me back from leaving, is my lack of work experience in general. I’m 25 years old. Besides this job, all I have is restaurant experience and an associates degree. I’m worried that 7 months here won’t look good on a resume. According to what I read on Google, the ideal time to stick with something is 2 years. If I stuck…

We need to see Goverments tax corporations for using robots and automated systems. By removing human workers company's also remove income tax from the economy increasing the need for governments to borrow more money to cover spending on essential services.

26/M here. I have applied for numerous jobs over the years including but not limited to: – apartment concierge – musical instrument retail – assistant manager for a local symphony orchestra – ticketing for that same local symphony orchestra – drama department technician at a high school – musical instrument pedagogy – management for a chamber ensemble – admin work at an arts organization – vaping retail – waiting – pizza e-bike delivery – prison librarian – radio production – marketting – copywriting And I have been rejected from every single one of them. My goal over the past 4-5 years has been to find a job that can afford me sufficient economic mobility to move out of my parents house and eventually move to another city. I was anticipating on moving to Australia or central Europe a few years ago but that was unfortunately foiled by COVID-19. The pandemic…
