The hardest part about finding a job is actually going out looking for one and filling out applications.

Absolutely. Its brutal. Looking for work is harder than actually working sometimes. Its a grind and you gotta just keep at it. [Removed by Support]

mustttttt resisttttt the baittttt

but really, most the people i know that "can't find jobs"

I will show them these jobs, but they don't want to work at a wage that "I AM WORTH MORE THAN THAT WAGE" or they don't want to work a job that "Too much manual labor and too dirty" and it's like, you can't be that picky!

Its hilarious. Everytime one of these guys uses that line or argument "I iz so smart you beneath me" you know their ego just got shattered and they got fuck all else to say.

Actually Germany is one of the top spots for competent & motivated people. Engineering, IT... anything to do with technology, which Germany is a top exporter of. There are only two reasons to be unemployed in Germoney:

1.) You have a useless non-marketable education and think that non-related "dirty" jobs are beneath your highness.
2.) The welfare state pays enough, so you have no motivation.

The social ponzi scheme will of course not continue forever. Some day these entitled millenials will wake up at 40, still holding that useless degree, having no RL skills, no job experience... crying about "ebil capitalism".

Indeed, my friend! But seriously, I think the parents are a little to blame for not teaching the value of having a job and saving money.

I mowed lawns and washed cars when I was younger and bought my first dirt bike when I was 14 and bought my first car when I was 15 because that's when I was able to get my learner's permit.

I remember how much my first job sucked. Sweaty, backbreaking labor at a hardware store for minimum wage.

It was mostly the memory of that level of suck that propelled me through college. I was determined to not have to do that for a living for the rest of my life.

I vaguely agree with the concept of welfare. There are things that happen outside of anyone's control that cause gaps that need to be filled.

I don't think being proud of not having a job or not being able to find a job is going to win any arguments anywhere. We're not in a post-scarcity automated economy quite yet; the work is out there. (To be fair, we're also not in a boomtime economy -- finding the job is a non-trivial task.)

uhhhh, are you me?

Did you also have a coworker that was like 30 years old still working the entry level position there after like 6 years who pushed you even harder to get out of that place?

Like that job sucked, but it was awesome... it's suchhhh a good feeling to finish a hard 10 hour day of sweaty hard labor and drink a shower beer.

Doing it after doing a job that requires brainwork and computer screens doesn't offer the same feeling.

So unemployment is a myth then.

Specialised jobs that people with certain disabilites can do are extremely difficult to obtain. The chance is lower than picking a needle out of a haystack.

I guess those Trump supporters in here think people who want a job will get one. Thats bullshit. I been looking for so long and still dont have one. Its not fun to live off welfare but its better than being dead.

I really wish those anti free healthcare and anti unemployment benefits become jobless and get sick to know what it feels like.

Followed by several pages of "lol ur too lazy too look".

-_-

Are you guys for real?

While I'm young I don't mind doing physical labor when it comes to metalworking, working with wood, in construction, or with something that has oil.

But one kind of job that I would avoid at all costs is dealing with organic stuff. Those trucks that drain the sh*t out of sewage (my english is not good so that might not be the best description), I can't even imagine myself doing that.
