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?

Obese, awkward, stammering, stumbling INTERNATIONAL ASSASSIN 😎

Q: ¿What's the difference between a prostitute and a drug dealer?

A: ¡A prostitute can wash their crack and sell it again!

Nah, getting a 6 figure job is easy, just make sure you are born to parents with contacts in the top leaderships of several good companies and who like you enough to give you a do-nothing-job

[-] imaqtpie@sh.itjust.works 51 points 1 month ago

Meh you still need basic social skills. Even for a nepotistic job, you have to be socially aware enough to pretend that you do something. Otherwise the contacts who gave you the job are going to be pissed off about you embarrassing them.

But you DON’T need to know how to save something as a pdf or find your downloads folder. In fact, if you can do either of those things they can’t allow you on the leadership team. It’s a tough line to walk.

When I was in college I got a part time job at an investment firm and they’d given a job to one of their larger client’s kid, largely simple data entry. He, however, spent most of the day playing online poker and they eventually fired him.

Let's be real, anon would be back in his cave within the first week. You don't go 2 decades of not lifting a finger to being a hard worker no matter what the pay is

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.

Drug trade seems ill-advised if you have that little social skills. Where do you get your drugs? How do you avoid getting stabbed etc. by your buyers and the people who sell to you? A lot of these people are aggressive and carry weapons, you really don't want to be the type who doesn't have the social awareness to avoid pissing them off accidentally.

[-] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

Maybe Darknet Markets would be an option then. You can't get stabbed through the screen and trust becomes a matter of cryptography instead of social deduction. But you need some non-trivial computer skills and a healthy dose of paranoia.

im surprised those arent all cia honeypots already

[-] RVGamer06@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago

Unfortunately CIA is busy with other things, i guess.

They may be NSA honeypots though.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

nothing says national security quite like selling drugs!

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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.”

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

huh, ive always heard the opposite. use your real name because a fake one will stick out for that address.

[-] 000999@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago

Confidently incorrect

[-] Treczoks@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

He sounds like he would need luck to even get a four figure salary...

[-] adaveinthelife@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

This is how rig pigs are born.

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

After being fat and sedentary for 18 years? Yeah, no. Rig pigs at least need to be fit, cuz their body is their job. This dude is in his mid 30’s and has never lifted more than a soda can to his lips.

Maybe a trucker if he can manage to stay in training long enough to get his CDL. But the dude dropped out of 9th grade, so I don’t have high hopes.

[-] subtext@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] jqubed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I’m assuming that would still take some time to get to that point, with training and apprenticeship

[-] subtext@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Sorry, I meant to say “not hard to find” definitely still requires work to get there!

No way he's able to keep up physically if he's obese and unemployed for 15 years right after dropping out of highschool.
