Which navy?

I often wonder whether I should have pursused a career in academia. It seems so cozy despite the job insecurity and lack of social relevance. Right at this moment I could be walking across campus in a thick overcoat clutching books to my side and noticing a qt freshman girl smiling at me in passing. Instead I am sat in a fluorescently-lit, warm, loud office with the radio pumping dance tunes and my eyes feeling tired and my coworkers gossipping or reading clikckbait online while I listen to Death Grips and pray that I be struck with some illness capable of rendering me justifiably unemployed.

It's software for universities that allows for easier tracking of faculty's research, teaching and other accomplishments (publishing, service, etc) so I'm not sure what you're on about

>being a teacher in 2016

Pointless really. If you really cared about being a teacher you'd make a youtube channel. Otherwise you're just embracing mediocrity while encouraging other children to transcend it. You know what they say, those who can do, those who can't teach.

>those who can do, those who can't teach.
those who can, do; those who can't, teach.

>Become a successful full-time writer.
Millionaire would be nice, but I'd be very much happy to make just $40,000-50,000 a year. That should be enough to get a quiet little home, begin building my firearm/ammo collection again, always have something to drink, as well as of course electricity and an internet connection. Cutting down wood can save money on heating (especially during the Winter), hunting/fishing can save money on food, and buying liquor instead of beer will save money on muh liver-pickling. I'd also quite like to have a vegetable garden again. A big one. Grow potatoes, carrots, cabbage, turnip, beets, and so on. Who knows, maybe I could make enough to sell some to neighbours, or at least give it for free to help local relations. Perhaps make a few drinking buddies.

Oh, as for being a writer, I've self-published two books. Self-publishing however, it would seem, is like every published work is a day spent digging with a shovel. Just about every day, you'll end up with nothing but dirt, but just hoping beyond hope that one of these days of digging will unearth a valuable mineral, oil, a rare fossil, or SOMETHING that could make you some money, because God damn you love digging but you want to make some money out of what you love to do, as low a likelihood as that may be.

Lol. I don't produce nor promote the shit, I just break it down so that any layman (which is to say university professor) can use it

You transform the good earth into YOUR vice of technological entrapment.

"It was entrapment officer!"

We weren't ask to be born on this good earth (so fruitful and abundant) to be petitioned again and once more to become SLAVES to the machinery you encourage to thrive. No wonder the birthrate is declining with such despicable ANTI-HUMAN writers (I'm a writer, you see) like _____ PUSHING and PROMOTING the downfall of all that is human as if a shortcut to paradise is POSSIBLE.

NEET. Applying for comfy part time jobs. I'm pretty much fucked for the job market but I don't care. I can live with working entry level jobs my whole life. As long as I can afford my own small place. I don't need much money.
My ambition is to amass an apartment of books. Own multiple house rabbits. Set a date for my suicide and follow through with it (thinking 40 atm)

Don't rabbits chew on the books?

>he writes, from a computer or smartphone

If it makes you feel better, I'd quit that job in a heartbeat if I could make a living off of creating custom furniture and metalwork, but i'm still learning.

Yeah. I've lost a few that way but I learnt my lesson. Got to keep them out of reach.

Dude, you better have a trunk of amazing literature that will be published in 60 years.

Also, that's cozy as fuck dude.

haha nice prose

Do your research on rabbits. They are basically cats that try to commit suicide constantly. You have to "bunny-proof" your entire house down to like stapling all he lamp cords to the ceiling because they'll try eat ANYTHING and immediately die from intestinal blockage. Very finicky pets, major commitment.

Don't fucking talk to me.

or my fucking wife's fucking son ever again.

don't be a newfag dude, if you want to post like reddit do it on reddit

whenever i see the word fluorescent i think of dfw. he loved that word so much the odd bastard

do you need a hug user

Do it user, take it from someone who had all the chances, but didn't take them. Without sounding cliche and corny, follow your dreams.

Also favourite DG album?

Already got a rabbit and yeah he fucks shit up constantly. I never leave anything dangerous where he can get it. I considered the possibility of him jumping up to the lower bookcase but they are just paper so I wasn't worried, plus he left them alone for 2 months until one day he went at it and chewed up a couple of Stephen king novels I had strategically placed as a sacrifice.

Yes :(

>Stephen king novels I had strategically placed as a sacrifice.
that's just brutal. i don't think even kind deserves to be chewed out by a wittle bunny wabbit,

I'm sure you know about how temperamental their digestive tracts are already but just in case: Get a specialised rabbit vet, figure out where the nearest 24/7 vet that specifically can handle rabbit specialty stuff is, and remember that gastrointestinal blockage can kill a rabbit in hours. They will just up and die on you.

Sorry for the lecture user. I just feel bad for rabbits.

>kind
king*
worse for him, even his name doesn't come out right now, lol.

S'alright man I appreciate your concern. I share the worry for rabbits because as a kid we had some and looking back on it were weren't the best owners, badly uneducated about a lot of stuff. The guilt of it has made me want to do much better this time around.

Also I live in a country where even shit vets know how to look after rabbits. They aren't considered exotics here.

Bagger at a grocery store. I also just do whatever else they need done. Not the type of job your parents would want to see you in, but it's got a union and I really lolike my coworkers, so it isn't miserable.

I'm not sure that's what I meant, though. Maybe netsuke could fall under that, but from Google it seems to mean the decorative garbage you find in antique shops.

How did you get into it? I'm considering getting a degree in Comp Sci so that I can get into technical writing. I don't wanna be a code monkey; I merely find human-computer interaction ballin'.
