I understand the desire to have the comfort of that bi-monthly paycheck but I think, on the whole, it’s an illusion. Maybe you’re in the wrong industry, but working for an employer won’t make your life any more secure in real terms. Since you’re already outside the system, I recommend you work on finding a way to grow your income (and thereby increase its stability) without having to give in to the system. The system is pure evil, stay out if you can.

Almost 22, unemployed, trying to get started on programming.
24 yeard old and from England. I left school at 16 and went straight into work. I took many entry level and temporary office jobs, but either quit or got fired from all of them. I am living in Alabama at the moment, and have returned to college. For financial reasons, I decided to do my first two years at a community college. I am a sophomore and attempting to finish my “core classes”, or whatever they’re called. I have been earning money in the mean time labouring and working at a local gas station.

Jeez, 6 of us are coders. Is there something about creating code that makes you libertarian?

19, College Student (Economics and Political Science double major), plan is to stagger onward to law school; currently employed at a theme park seasonally while school is out. Spending money (I am a saving machine) goes toward an ever growing collection of liberty reading material.
Gabriel, sure. Send me a PM.
Lol I almost went into software coding. I was going to go to a school specifically for programming but at the last 3 months of my high school career decided to go to a regular college for English.
Another one, here. Currently doing my MSc. in computer and information science. I need to get into the work world soon enough. I think it’ll be much more worth my time.
