    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?

      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.

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

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

      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.

      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

        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.

      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.

        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.
