I was just offered a job today after not having a real career since I was laid off a year and a half ago. I'm making $12.92/hr with a 15% differential for all hours worked after 4pm (that's $14.86/hr). I'm 35 and this will be my first 'office' job; fuck it I'm tired of doing manual labor and slaving away in kitchens. I get paid for any holiday that falls on my day off with 1 & 1/2 times the pay. If I actually work on the holiday I get 2 & 1/2 times the pay per hour. There's also quarterly incentive bonuses with the potential to make up to $20k extra per year; and for everyday I work, I start accruing paid time off (between 18-33 days a year). And I don't have a college degree.
Fuck it, work for the devil (BANKS) and just drink the Kool-aid bro. Live comfortably, live smart.

Indeed, it is tough out there. It costs me about $6000. a month to keep my shop operating and some months I scratch my head and wonder what I'm doing. I can tell you this though, you won't find work on the internet. Go out and see people working and ask them for work and their phone number. Call them everyday, showing that you want to work.

I think azur is the man to listen to, especially since this is specific to America. I was just trying to put it in perspective. I went through a similar "OH FUCK" phase when I was about 23. You're not being left behind, what you're really looking for is in consciousness. I know that sounds kind of New Age or hippy or even just stupid but if you get your mind right, your life will seem faaaaaar more interesting.

When I was 23 I lived in Tampa. I had sex with sooo many 30+girls with wicked fakies. Oh man. Don't complain guys. I'd love to be 23 again. Like circastes said, get your head right. Go for a walk, breathe in the air, and figure out what you want. Then go get it!

Sweet. At 22 I lived in Charleston sc, and whatever sexual morals I didn't destroy there I finished up in Tampa. I love Tampa. Ybor is a lot of fun, but I lived in Hyde park so I mostly hung out in south tampa. My pad was a block and a half away from Bayshore Blvd. One day I was skateboarding and was waiting to cross the street. So was this hot little Cuban girl. We started talking as we crossed the street. Before we even made it to the sidewalk, she told me to go home with her. I gave her a strange look and she said, "are you scared?". I took her home and fucked her dizzy

I guess when I wake up I'm going to do the same old. I have a meeting with a job counselor at 10:00. I'll pop some Addy, call around asking about jobs, put in a few applications for some minimum wage work to at least get some money in my pocket, and maybe see if I can swing a liter of cheap gin and play some Battlefield.
Fuck - my loans are coming due soon, I'm still paying off a DUI I got last year ($400 left), and it's been so long since I've been in my hometown that I don't know anyone. Gonna head back to where I went to school for the weekend to blow off some steam and hopefully get some molly and see some friends, but God damn, life is not going how I imagined it would be after graduating high school four years ago. If only I realized that college was a time I should be more worried about studying and working hard instead of partying and chasing tail. I got all the time in the world for that now, but no money for such activities. Weak.
Sorry for my rant.
Im confused, now you are in the real world and its time to buckle down. Im surprised you arent HAPPY you enjoyed your college years. You got your degree didnt you?

23 is a strange year. Too old for the 18 year olds, too young for most other chicks. No real money. Limited skills. Take the time to make contacts, work hard, and learn how to be an adult. It will pay off.

OP, please stop being a nigger. I am telling you this because I was doing much of the same crap at 23 (minus the alcohol, that's obviously retarded) and hopefully you'll wise up.
Have free time? Go hit a freelancing site. See what skills you have, that you can turn into some new cash. Or hit the job ad sites, see what's out there, get your resume improved, get your skills in order, invest in yourself. There's 10 other guys doing that right now, and in 10 years you'll end up lounging with them, or hiring them, or working for them taking their orders, complaining how much smarter you are than your boss and how life just isn't fair boo hoo.

Is 23/25 really too old for 18 year olds? I've had some 18 year olds interested in me. Do you mean the mental age gap would be too much to handle, or it's not culturally acceptable? Baring in mind I'm in Australia (aka. FUKKAN STRAYA)

What mental gap are you talking about mate? What sort of question is this to even be asking?
You don't say no to 18yo pussy, without some seriously good reasons and an extensive note from your physician. If 18yo girls show interest in you, you pursue that stuff or you'll regret it later. Who cares if it's culturally acceptable? To some it's not. They may be envious and gossip about you. You know what that's going to lead to? Nothing. Nobody cares.
Also, awesome studies have shown that having younger girls in your life does fill you with more energy, vitality, you feel more useful because you get to teach them stuff they've never had time to learn about, you share some of that life experience, everybody is happy. I don't have links on hand, but people actually looked into this, who people marry for their second marriage, age differences and so on. Guys with a young new partner were happier than dudes with a new partner of similar age, more engaged with life and also lived several years longer on average.
Date young stuff and look to marry young stuff, as much as you can. Leave the chicks your age for guys 10-20 years older.

NO actually, they don't drug test what so ever. Dress code is casual - no pj's, no flip flops. Everything else goes. I start Monday.. so fucking stoked to actually have a career path again after getting laid off a year and a half ago.

You DO have to jump through some loops to complete the hiring process, but I think its mostly to make sure you're not a complete fucking idiot and can handle assigned tasks in a timely fashion. Before employment they take your fingerprints and run them through a national FBI database, and complete a fairly thorough criminal background check (which I have to admit I was nervous about, as I don't have the cleanest record). Everything came back without a hitch. Once I get through training, I'll be making $14.86/hr. Not too shabby!

So the military is government tit suckers? So are you trying to say that people in the military don't work for there money? Because if you are that is one of the most ignorant things I have ever heard.
Also OP you are complaining of being broke and not having a job and a bunch of other things......yet you are going to blow off steam by getting a bunch of molly and getting messed up. Instead of getting high how about you go find a job and stop whining about things that you can fix if you weren't on a message board complaining and not doing anything.

I got my degree. What is it worth? Apparently, from the lack of employers contacting me after applying/contacting them, it doesn't mean much though.
