I'm doing some work for at my mum's office right now (in the storage shed going through the 40000+ files throwing out the old ones). I'm getting minimum wage (which I don't mind because I really can't be picky) but work won't last that long. Any ideas for jobs that would allow reasonable independence with little-to-no socialisation?

Security guard, manual labor
>> No. 647 [Edit]
If you have a drivers licence then become a courier or truck driver, thats what I do. Drive a truck for an 8 hour drive once a week with the only social interaction being during pick up and drop off but still I don't have to say much.

I'd like to know too. Preferably one that doesn't involve manual labor (my lungs are shit). Security guard sounds good, but if anything actually happened I would be able to do nothing about it and probably be fired
>> No. 653 [Edit]
A night shift janitorial position would be good. It isn't very manual and if you hustle and get everything done early you can shit around for the rest of your time. Get an internet capable phone and do this.

Once a week? Are you able to support yourself with that?

I did some data entry years ago as a teenager. It didn't require any socialization, besides knowing what needed to be input into their system each day. It was really boring, repetitive work, but it might be something you'd be interested in.

I don't care how boring and repetitive it is as long as I get paid

I've never actually had a job before but I tried to get a job at a library, just putting books on the shelves. It seemed like pretty menial labour where you weren't really expected to talk to anyone. They didn't hire me though, so I have no idea what it's really like. It still might be something to look into.

a library job seems peaceful. Maybe I should get into that...

Most jobs like that are either done by volunteer or people with degrees in information science

Or whatever the degree was called

i've done sc. illustration (butterflies) from home, OP, from wich i got paid with a sort of scholarship. so if you're a decent drawfag and like to draw insects, birds, plants and shit, you could profit from it.

where i live in, we distinguish computer engineering (monkeys in front of a computer) from computing sciences (monkeys in front of a computer who allegedly know maths but look at those grades).

Don't need to have good lungs for security guard. They'll employ you if you're huge and fat and look angry all the time. Tohno used to work in security and all he did was watch anime on a laptop in his car.

Yeah I've been thinking of getting a job in security. How do I go about doing that? I've never had a job before if that matters
>> No. 667 [Edit]

You may have to take some classes that would take from 18 to 40 hours before you could get a license for being a security guard, but other than that there are no real qualifications.Sato from Welcome to the N.H.K. did security work in the novel.

Oh...

They're not difficult; if anything, they're designed to pass you with minimal effort. Look for those classes online.

You could try blogging and adsense but that didn't work out for me. I didn't have anything interesting to talk about and no one read my blog.

I'm thinking about trying again.

>some BS like 'there's no open job hirings now' and the neptoistic people hire their friends & family anyway.

exactly. good fucking luck getting a job if you dont know anyone or dont have a degree AND experience. you may as well just buy a lottery ticket.

I have an interview tomorrow btw, wish me luck.

I know how to use autocad somewhat proficiently
does that count for anything?

i'm not sure. i don't really know autocad but in principle, if you're really good at rendering (and/or have the appropiate ad ons) you should be able to do any model you're required. they key, anyway, in sc. illustration, is coming to terms with the scientist you're working for (i.e. follow all his indications and corrections), to achieve a desirable balance betwen:

1. clarity of lecture and adequacy to the his knowledge of the subject.
2. realism: photographic resemblance to the model (believe or not, this comes in second therm; the priority is to make justice to the theory we're attempting to illustrate)
3. artistic qualities (aesthtetical appealing of the work itself)

normally, even more when one is a newbee, the correcting process starts from the very sketches; hence, traditionally, descriptive drawing skills are required. among less conservative circles, photoshop and digital painting knowldege is now very appreciated (but of course, the drawing basis of the procedure is the same). 3D rendering isn't really exploited yet (at least for works to be printed); but i wouldn't be surprised if this changes in the near future.

Reading this thread got me more and more excited about working in a library...

Maybe I should study Library science? Do you think the degree might be useful?

I heard about a guy who worked from home, solely doing professional AutoCAD commissions.

Oh and he was from 4chan.
