I wish more older folks understood the modern economy the same way Joey just explained it. Now, it's expected to be in debt before work and will still not guarantee a career. The idiocy is how the economy changed in the last 50 yrs and old folks are still praising old ideals of work. Nowadays, white collar jobs are over saturated by everyone relying on college conflating an investment and a consumption. Lawyers and Pharmacists can't find decent work, despite the conventions, so there's definitely a huge disconnect from education and work that's not being addressed.
After my mothers suicide I found I would literally lay in bed all day . Hours would go buy and I couldn’t name one productive thing I would do. The only time I would get up is to smoke , eat, bathroom and sometimes i would go days without eating. But eventually I had to will myself back into school and work. Its not easy but im glad I pushed myself the way i did and forced myself to get off my ass and to stop being a loser
I have the best job i am a chef for a college if you never want to be out of a paycheck become a cook and be good at it and you never worry about a job
Show up early, show up sober, n clean whenever your not cooking or prepping and your boss will never wanna see you leave if your also a good cook, its all about gaining leverage by bringing more to the table than the next guy
Even now ? What if you're avoiding or either trying to figure things out ? Alot of people are like Lee, they get a degree & get a job in something unrelated. What if like Diaz your busy being you & experiencing all thd crap that comes with ? What if you're a minimalist & you don't need & we ant for the so called dream . Maybe your great & you don't know ! Don't have to a neurosurgeon to be great .... Cheers !
I’m 20, going to school for welding, I only need an associates degree. Shit you could even just get certs and find a great job. Trade industry will always have jobs and high paying ones as well, you just gotta know where to look
Xz zX only certain jobs, a robot won’t be able to get out in a ditch in the middle of rainfall and mud and still be able to weld 12” pipe. Maybe not for a long time but certain jobs will be automated like most assembly jobs, I’m pretty sure the cost of buying a robot and maintenance will cost more than hiring an able body person
@@Wanglicker42235 and thats when you shift to the maintenance of said robots, there will always be jobs until we reach the point of full automation and AI longevity where AI can do their assignments for centuries without going haywire and have self-maintenance
There is no more easy buck. Back in the 50's thru 80's you could get away with anything, you could post date checks, fudge things, change your name lol. Now you cant wipe your ass without an infared camera watching you. And yes they are watching. Remember, infared can see your outline through drywall .
As I'm smoking a bowl I decide to watch something on youtube. This video popped up in recommendations and I was compelled to click on it, I'm 23 and my dad is dying and I dont know what to do. This video spoke to my soul.
I hope the best for you fam. Just live each day as it is, be grateful for what you have now and I can not fret this enough. Look forward not backwards and you should be ok at the least.
I dropped out of high school, couldn't get into college and I'm glad I didnt. I went into construction as a laborer for a Mason company, then got into a trade. Not going to lie for 3 years 23-26 was a nightmare being laid off ect. but now at 30 everything fell into place. I feel like a lot of kids are pressured into major debt through college, it's sad. We need to start telling kids trade work isnt bad yes its physically hard but it pays and after a while as you move up from your hard work it becomes easier.
theres a reason trades pay well. hard labor and high risk of danger. after 20-30 years of most trades, your hearing is shot, vision is shot, body is aching. but if you value the money over all that, do what you do.
Regulations made it a lot less volatile than it used to be man, you can easily make a career out of working in a trade and retire fully functional & healthy. Sitting in a chair at a desk job for hours on end for years is horrible for you. Trades shouldn't be looked down on that's all I'm saying.
Yeah I mean personally I’d rather just go to school get my business degrees and just join some conglomerate business and rise up that way. Even if I never end up paying off my student debt, at least I’m not working with my body the way you are. Physical labor ages you at least a solid 5 years quicker than everyone else I’d rather not be retired by like 45 because I can barely stand. But hey everyone does what they think they have to do. That’s just how I see it.
So co-existing is doing the bare minimum to get by? Im confused on what you mean because i feel the same way but for different shit because im 15 with no job yet trying to get by in school while selling weed. Joey you should talk about everything you wish you wouldve done while you were my age and what you would do today if you were my age. Im just lost and need some serious advice and ideas on what i should be focusing on, ways i should make money, friends, girls, just everything.
iso allex it’s good to sell weed just don’t fully depend on it and eventually start selling pills and other hard shit that can get you in real shit whether it be the law or sketch people. Also don’t smoke weed everyday shit takes your natural happiness and your thoughts are all fucked. For me it made me feel like I was always running watching my back or some shit and I was never calm :/ smoke it every weekend and you’ll feel the true effects of weed and be way more happy with yourself and life :p idk about ur whole future thing I’m 18 and I think I’m gonna go work construction and save up for properties and hopefully retire around 30-35 . I really don’t wanna go to school. Anyways I think you should just focus on being with friends and forming the best friendships because no matter how much money or bitches you got you’ll wanna kys if you don’t got loyal homies on your side that care about you OR a good loyal girlfriend that you can say is your best friend as well :p lol man ur only 15 and these next few years your thoughts are gonna be bouncing and that’s normal but remember life is short and it’s not about money :D
Joey's the man ! I also think that regular people just wanna co exist and just make business and live life and work a good paying job raised a family and just live and laugh and maybe get high and get tipsy once in a while Lol!
Ive been working with kids for 4 years im 22. I love it and its my passion but there is something in me that knows and needs to do something bigger. I know there are people who are meant to coexist and love doing what they do.. eveb if it doesnt pay much. Like i said i have a true calling to work with children, im great at it. i dont want to just coexist. I want to own my own business and be a big success. I want to make more money than im making at the moment. I could be okay just like how I am but I have a knowing in me to where I know I will be somewhere greater in the future.
I grew up sort of like Joey and every time he speaks he pretty much says what I feel all the time, except for the hard drugs I could never get into the stuff. But basically being raised by yourself can be hard, having a parent or parents that are there but spend little time raising you doesnt fell like you get a childhood more like an early adulthood. It definitely doesnt feel fair, but it is what it is. And the worst part is, watching these people who have parents that were always there every step yet their children just want to co-exist. Whilst I'm sitting here feeling like I have a purpose but living like I dont.. It just feels like a black hole wants to suck you in. Hes spot on about the trauma, especially at a younger age messing with you. My uncle just killed him self 3 days after Christmas and it's been on my mind the last 4 months nonstop. Hell I've seen 18 close family friends and members die before I was 20. These things have stuck with me, worst part is I've noticed they have affects on my mood and mentality about life. Like I want to care about everyone and everything, I love life and humanity. But after all the death, I just feel useless, like it's easier to just coexist cause then I dont have to think or do anything. But I know its gonna be the death of me if I dont do something. Like I've realized I'll spend 14 hours on videos games to sleep 10 hours and repeat. Worst is, I know it's cause I'm trying to forget about the shit in my life or push it away. Key word 'trying' but all im doing is fucking up my life more. It's like being in the passenger seat of your own life cause you dont want to take the wheel anymore. Its perplexing to say the least. All I hope is the best for everyone, even if I cant achieve it. Hope you all are doing great, if not cheer up you got time to fix things as do I.
That's sick men should not play video 'games' at all. Keyword games. Unless you have little kids and are playing with them. I'm sure you'll snap back at me but you know I'm right. God be with you
🔮💦🔮💦🔮💦🔮💦 🙁 *PLEASE READ* 😉 He finished your sentences for Us who stumbles though them....i went plus A funk. Not like depression but just like what the fuck do I do now.... I had already gone though a lot....and here it is over 12. To 15 years ago I had this and listening to Joey and a few other helped me.....still helping me!!!! *To back things up in my own head which I could do it anyways but he puts it more bluntly and clearly than what I could do... *And Angle myself better to understand more on subjects and how you think you're going off as subjects but these things actually relate to each other more than you'll ever think they do! Unless I get to this certaun point I'm going right back after FAMILY a JUDGE who said I was a crackhead and I'm going to go let him has a fistful of words and it won't be nothing bad it will the *Truth how dare you say I was something I wasn't how dare you try to get away with it and how dare you think you're something special when you're not you think they'll you know 10 syllable words or $50 words you still I just like me you would get embarrassed if you would naked you would get embarrassed if your family was says separated you get sad if someone was to die and if you don't then you're not human and you have no conscience so maybe that is why you are a judge but on the other hand you have no right to think that makes you any more better than anyone else Put that title away in your clothes off and I just a naked old fool like the rest of us*
Thank you uncle joey. How could I listen to someone as out of touch as Rogan when we can listen to you: someone who cares about the man on the bottom. Thank you, sir.
Please take this advice...im 46..live in Maryland my whole life working blue collsr jobs...Life to me is a test...and although its pretty tough at times (NO ONE ever said life was fair) you either pass or fail this test of life. You pass by not giving up..you fail by letting the pit falls of life over take you. We all cant be doctors with nice cars,we dont have to be. Just think about what you need in life,and come up with some kind of plan to get it. One thing ive learned is nothing in life changes for you until you make a change. I hope this somehow has helped you. God bless.
if my bills are paid, my stomach is full and my joint is rolled i couldn’t be fucked enough to bring more stress in my world. i’m happy and comfy bro why would i need anything else.
and Lee’s right. i feel consistent anxiety just kinda living day to day. but it’s not anxiety to me anymore it’s hunger. let your feet hit the floor and say “today im going out there to get it”
I wish I can do that but some people don't have the privilege to do it. I live in a country where if you aren't exta successful you will be starving to death. As 90% of the population are under the poverty line and the 10%are billionaires. So fuck it I guess ☺️
U know iam super ambit koo us and it is a pain in the ass. Always striving. I think coexisting would be more happy. Hell. I may change today. Just lower my goals a d enjoy life
I tell any of the young people I run into to at least save some money every month. I didn't make a decent salary until I was well into my 30's but I probably had around 30-50K saved up by then.
So true,a lot of young kids live paycheck to paycheck even if they do well financially,I live below my means,save,invest in something when I can,life passes quick,you gotta have a safety net for when you get old
That last part was really real talk. I'd been there for awhile. Hell nobody could understand you and it seems like it could never go away. But once it does. Its cool. I guess its good to reflect on that time and appreciate every little thing. Cuz thst was no way to live life.
I skipped out on my BA got an AS of arts to save money and time, it’s got me any job I’ve wanted and needed, but I am 100% finished with the living hell of corporate office jobs. I’m 34 now and about to make a change and get my electrician’s certification and start as an apprentice and work my way up to journeyman etc. It honestly makes me happy to work with my hands whether it’s carpentry, drywall, painting, clearing brush, building fences, but especially pulling wires, and even something simple like wiring a three way switch. Get a trade and revolt against the modern world, plus American’s need to take back this sector to try and preserve a place for Irish, German, Scottish people in construction and all areas of skilled labor on job sites. Here in Texas 95% of new construction is started and finished by illegals. The steady invasion where our “pathological altruism” will see us replaced unless we wake up and revolt against the global citizen crowd who could care less about borders our the founding stock of this nation both intellectually and pragmatically. Live in rural areas and avoid cities.
Joey had his daughter at his age, maybe his daughter will be in the same position Joey was when his parents died, obviously due to Joey and his wife's age.
