How hard are 6 figure jobs to get?
High School dropout NEET directly to 6-figure would probably need to involve selling drugs or something, right?

Q: ¿What’s the difference between a prostitute and a drug dealer?
A: ¡A prostitute can wash their crack and sell it again!
Unfortunately CIA is busy with other things, i guess.
They may be NSA honeypots though.
There’s a reason two of the biggest rules of online purchasing are “never use your real name” and “never accept a package you have to sign for.” Doesn’t matter if you just bought $5k in drugs; The seller won’t require a signature on delivery.
If the delivery guy wants a signature, they’re an undercover cop and you bought from a honeypot (or they sniffed your package in the mail sorting room and intercepted it.) The UC wants you to put ink on paper accepting the package as yours, to prove you bought it. Because otherwise your lawyer can go “how do we know my client ordered it? It didn’t have their name on it! It was probably a neighbor getting it delivered to a nearby house, and the prosecution hasn’t proved beyond a reasonable doubt that my client actually purchased the drugs.”
2 decades of not lifting a finger to being a hard worker
That’s more or less what happened to me. Dropped out of university, a year of unemployment, then I found a factory job where I could spend most of the time operating machines instead of conversing with people. The pay was extremely average, but I ended up becoming one of the most productive workers simply because I liked the job.
That was until the early pandemic supply chain issues caused productivity to implode, the veteran talent left, management doubled in size, so did overtime (well paid as it was), and I decided my health was more important.
I mean they’re not hard if you’re willing to go to a trade school and then put in long hours as a welder or something.
I’m getting the feeling though that that will be off the table.
I genuinely snorted at the “six figure jobs” bit.
Poor chap.
OP sounds like THE person to found a tech startup, sell a load of bull, get rich off ephemeral VC money, cozy up to Trump and join the dismantling of the US.
US career advice AD2025. No brain cells necessary
I hope you find something you are interested in
My life would be much easier now and Id be able to buy whatever I wanted if I had applied myself earlier instead of just coasting and partying
The last 2 lines of the text make it sound like bait if the 6-figure thing wasn’t a joke (otherwise, delusional). Depression likely, if not other health issues that led to this.
I am not quite as bad as the text but for me: parents are doing their own thing (these days, computer time), almost as isolated as I am.
It probably helps that I do tasks for them (mostly sweeping, unloading dishwasher/garbage, carrying firewood etc). Not that I can do much given that I, much like they (who are anti-doctor), have untreated health issues. Seemingly is enough they don’t threaten to kick me out (though maybe they know that I would just leave with no place to go, and likely die).
Also it was unlikely in car-centric areas of the USA as-it-wasbut I don’t think there’s hard-working out of this after medicaid is gutted (not that was even an easily accessible path before). Maybe anon can lose 50 pounds, get a hobby, and leave the house a few times a month when the weather is nice… but probably not getting a job/moving out with no help while the government implodes and normal people were already struggling to pay bills.
Separated from me because I have severe anger issues, which led to Social Services forcibly removing me - not to help me - but to make putting me under what amounted to house arrest at 11 years old to save taxpayer money instead of actually caring about an autistic child by placing me in a group home where I was the only child capable of speech.
When my parents got me back, I was three years behind my peers in tech knowledge that I prioritized re-learning over assoviating with my idiot wigger classfoes. Then I realized I was incapable of handling the stress of university and simply couldn’t go.
I tried a writing career but my only option for a psychiatrist (literally the only psychiatrist within a 1.5 hour drive of my hometown) destroyed my life and online social networking with psychiatric malpractice.
The internet never forgives, I hate you all and hope you’ll die painfully because you already hate me. If you don’t, it’s because our hobbies didn’t overlap in 2017-2024, and thus I have no reason to bother discussing anything with anyone ever again.
Unless Anon is willing to put in some serious work, like properly going back to school or busting their ass learning (and getting good at) a trade, then their life is kinda fucked.
You can't just crawl out of almost 20 years of NEETing into really any kind of job, especially without the charisma to at least try masking it.
Also fuck knows why Anon's parents just let them drop out of school and basically cease to exist outside of playing videogames for best part of two decades. That's plain bad parenting.
I have friends in these situations where they dropped out and they somehow hold themselves above a minimum wage job with stuff like “I’m worth more than that”, " I’m over qualified to flip burgers", and “i can’t move out on that wage”. I try to tell them they at least have to work some basic position just to prove to future employers you can actually show up each shift. Completing highschool on a reaume isn’t just an education. It shows you’re willing to stick through something even if it wasnt fun or got difficult at times and can be one of the first signs to an employer that you have potential to be reliable.
I get it, it does suck making minimim wage and it migbt not be enough to move out of moms basement tomorrow, but after 20 years in moms basement its gonna take work to get outta there.
“I’m holding out for a management position.”
Agreed. I NEETed for five years. Never left my apartment, sponged off my gf, terrified of going out. Even that long is hard to get out of.
Thankfully I kept my weight mostly in check and I still had some humble charisma when I needed to interact with people. This let me seek help which culminated in severe anxiety and sleep apnea diagnoses.
Let me tell you, though. Even 5 years is enough to make any sort of potential employer wrinkle their nose at your application. I had to dig hard through my grave topsoil.

Any advice? I had a long hiatus from trying to get a degree due to depression/anxiety, and I fear I’ll also have a hard time explaining the gap away.
Be honest about it if you get an interview, but be clear that it took some time to get where you needed to be. Let them know that you’ve worked hard to get the help you needed and are more than ready to get back into the world.
When Chewy hired me for remote work, they also asked what I had done during my unemployment. They seemed pleased to hear I had been building skills in web design and UI/UX as well as becoming a professional typist at 90 wpm average. So have your accomplishments ready, no matter how small they may seem.
There is one possible route he could go.
CDL truck driving is totally possible for someone with no ties to an area like kids or wife to do what he’s asking.
You gotta be able to learn the trade, but there are schools that invite companies in to sponsor the training and then you work for 1 or 2 years for that company before you can quit it or go owner operator (without penalty, you can leave whenever and pay them for the schooling).
After that you can make 6 figs easily with otr flatbed, tanker, car hauler, etc.
The only difference for his life style is his house will get smaller and he has to drive for 11 hrs a day.
