What if you got a job offer at the DEA?
    #23929142 - 12/15/16 12:05 PM (7 years, 1 month ago)

What if you got a job offer at Monsanto? The DEA? The NSA? the CIA?

If you are a republican, what if you got an offer for a left wing fucktard?
If you are democratic, what if you got an offer for a right wing idiot like bill o'reilly?

If you are atheist, what if you got a job working for the pope?

Whatever degree/field you are in, what if you got a job offer than paid well but basically stood against a lot of what you believed in?
If you have no degree, what if you got a job in something that interested you but was against what you stand for?

I ask this because I am in my early twenties and basically am getting great receptivity from places that sort of stand against what I believe in. They pay better than the other places I am looking at. I may take the job but grudgingly do so

Right now, my main goal in life is;
1) earn as much as possible and save up. Start investing into assets and establish passive income
2) everything else is off secondary interest

I am hoping a better paying job comes up in something I actually like but right now I have little money to my name. Some money. I am not broke. But definitely a noticeable difference in salary

It feels like I am whoring myself out to "the man" for better pay. I don't like that. Thoughts?

EDIT: I would most likely be taking drug tests regularly for this. I don't like that aspect either. I plan on rolling 3-5 times a year and tripping 5-10 times a year for the foreseeable future. I am saving up for some MXE and maybe ket. Those are the only drugs I use somewhat regularly

The DEA is everything wrong with this country its the last remaining force of government oppression since the times when we had jim crow laws. America is said to be a land of freedom or the land of the free but since Richard Nixon this has not been true. I find it sad that our country claims to be about freedom but at the same time has the highest incarceration rate in the world.

The United States represents about 4.4 percent of the world's total population yet it houses around 22 percent of the world's prisoners. Our founding fathers would be ashamed of what our country has become when they found america they founded it with intent for freedom, freedom of religion, freedom of speech, and freedom of choice. The drug laws are direct violations of this idea that we can be free from retarded idiots who push thier ideas as "right" the kind of people who say you must obey my ideas on what's right and wrong or face jail. Our founding fathers would be ashamed at the current state of our country. The DEA is somewhat like the KKK they just want to scare people into obeying their retarded policies. If the DEA at all cared about this country, freedom, and public health they would end prohibition. The DEA has been doing the same thing over and over since it got started and drug use has been on the rise not the down fall. Its insanity to think it will ever acomplish anything
"The war is being waged by a large number of unrelated interests, by millions of people, and it is being fought largely within the United States. It is the first full-scale instance of American citizens fighting American citizens in a battle fought on domestic soil in over a century. The last conflict of this size was the 1861 Civil War, or the War between the States, which consumed our energies and wealth, and destroyed so many of our youth in that four year period. But our present war has been underway now for well over a decade, and there is no victory in sight. The intensity and costs have been continuously increasing, and the suffering and damage from it is without precedent." Alexander Shulgin, TiHKAL

Just do what you have to do til you can do what you want to do. I'm going into health care and can't wait to reverse the damage people have done to themselves including the damage I've done by working jobs that don't respects man and earth. Namely the food industry.

Depends on the specifics of the job.  Usually though, they'll only pay marginally better than other, similar positions.  So if I were against it, no.

I would't take a job which contradicted my values, its bad enough to feel indifferent about work and you can make money without becoming a hypocrite

I wouldnt work for the DEA for a million dollars a year...

All of those other things, possibly, if they pay really good.

So I got busy with work and applying to new places

I think people got caught up in the thread title

What I was asking was more along the lines of;
would you take up a job that contradicted your values slightly? And to what degree would it have to be against what you believed in for you to say "fuck that!"

I wouldn't do the DEA, but I am getting a nicely paid and a relocation pay to move to a suburb for a govt job. I don't like the idea of working for the govt and I don't like the idea of taking drug tests all the time. I like my area and I like drugs lol. If they took a hair sample they would find opium, vicodin, codeine, coke, acid, molly, and weed. Luckily they only did urine sample. But signing up for this would basically mean buying one of those big plastic dicks that people use for drug tests


I hate that idea to begin with

Fuck the DEA and fuck the police :fuckthepolice:

I wouldnt work for them for a billion a year, cause i know deep down its againist my beliefs.

that being said, it would be pretty cool working for the CIA or FBI. They deal with some more interesting cases and I *might* have a shot at seeing some aliens at Area 51 or learning some hidden secrets about the US government or other govs and whatnot.

but being a city cop? nah fuck that.

People talk in hypotheticals like this, but this is actually a reality. All those hippies in the 1960's that protested that were all about anti-capitalism and everything ended up becoming attorneys and financial advisors.

financial advisors? I see nothing wrong with being a lawyer. Or a financial advisor? I am curious as to how you see these as unethical?

Ie  I semi see drug dealing as unethical for example. It CAN be unethical if you are pressuring women to give you head for crack/coke/heroin/meth. but as long as you aren't taking advantage of your customers its perfectly fine

Because a lot of those hippies were part of the anti-capitalist movement, remember? Working in finance making profit for the top 1% of institutions is supposed to be against the very core idea of anti-capitalism.

Also if you're a corporate attorney or a litigation attorney making money off suing people, then you're basically a sellout, aren't you?

I work at a place that is somewhat against my beliefs, including piss testing.  I take their money and give them a half assed effort.  They seem to love me because I am not retarded.  Basically I do very little, but occasionally figure out something nobody else thought about and therefore must be a genius.  I'd tell them that it might be because I have an open mind in part due to certain drugs, but I can't so I just play up the smart guy thing and take my money.

I also kind of feel bad about even participatin in human society or paying taxes.  By doing anything at all I seem to be supporting the kind of things that enslave people and destroy our planet.

I'd love to live according to my principles but I have this body thing.  Because I have a body I have physical needs, like food and health insurance.  It's crazy I know, but living through an animal I kind of have to take care if it.  Plus, limited resources and all that.  Only so much to go around, so you have to compete economically if you want to do anything at all.

Basically I am a whore, but it isn't my fault.  I blame God for making the game like this.  In many case you have very little choice.  You have to participate somehow, or you have nothing.

I mean in our culture we sell this idea of having choices and doing something we believe in. Yet if you look at most other times or places in human history you can see that the concept isn't universal.  In North Korea or the middle ages they wouldn't even ask this kind of question.  Born a peasant, always a peasant, unless the local lords needs something in which case you don't dare say, "no."

Basically I'm saying that almost every human being who has ever lived has had to do whatever was necessary to survive.  Selling out and sucking the dick of whomever controls the resources is a part of being a human being.  Very few people could say the never had to.  So it is a problem with the system and not any kind of personal failing on our part.

Like I said, I blame god for putting us in a situation where often the only way to a decent life is by violating our principles.  You can't fault people for actually wanting to live and do things, can you?
