Comment on How do I actually find a job that isn't retail?

  Argumentum absurdum is a stinky cologne. I recomend you try a different body mist.

  If you stoped repeating the same mistakes over and over again and tried to think “where could I be right” instead of “can you find a wrong and disprove” you would be a more reasonable person to talk to.

  E.g. (cause you clearly need it)

  You think the rarity of Bill Gates disproves my point. I say a friend who is neurodivergent and a high school drop out literally just bought cleaning supplies and started going door to door to businesses on a strip asking if they needed a good scrubbing. He did a few gigs on the spot for pocket change, but quickly found several of the 2nd story offices were displeased with their after-hours cleaning contractors. A few offered a trial to prove my dude could do a good job. Once proven they offered annual contracts. Boom! Entrepreneur. Today he has 3 vans and 7 employees. Still doesn’t know what standard deviation is.

  This type of opportunity is everywhere. I could go on all day. But why? The point is made and you’ll either get it, or not.

    Cool story. Why aren’t you a billionaire then, if it’s so easy?

      Bad faith. Grow up.

        No dude, you are the one who made a bad faith argument, but keep telling yourself you aren’t the problem.

        That your random anecdote is some deep truth about the condition of millions of other people… because apparently everyone is an autistic programmer type with daddy’s money to start up a company… lol
