Not a neet, so I'd first have to ask how exactly somebody ends up in a situation like this to begin with. Its hard for me to imagine what to do or where to go from this hypothetical when I cannot see how one gets there.

>how to start businesses and whatnot

I know its kind of a feminine skill but if one has any arts and crafts skills, the really low-risk way to get into selling it would be online, on etsy or a similar website.

>I'd first have to ask how exactly somebody ends up in a situation like this to begin with

As a former NEET, I can explain. The process isn't much different from the ones that land people in different, but equally unpleasant situations. Maybe they have shitty parents, or their parents got divorced, or both. Maybe they are genetically predisposed to mental illness. Maybe they are simply unlucky and had a lot of bad experiences and misfortunes while growing up.

The point is that a person becomes a NEET because they are undereqipped, at some level, to handle adult responsibilites. There have always been people like this in society, and in former times they lived with their extended families, or went into the priesthood, or became monks or beggars. Charities, often organized by churches, existed to help such people. Nowadays they not only can't get jobs, and so live with their parents or on welfare, but also have no place outside of the mangled remnants of their nuclear family or the government's cold embrace to turn to.

That's why this board was created. We want to be there so they can turn to us. Everyone else likes to pretend they just don't exist.

This is a very accurate description. NEETs are generally people who are convinced that they have little to offer society, and so hide themselves away out of shame or otherwise rationalise their own perceived failings by projecting them onto humanity at large. Possibly the most important step in rescuing someone from the pit of despair that is NEETdom is by convincing them that they, in fact, do have something to offer the world, and that they can live for a purpose greater than just marinating in their own hobbies and self-loathing.

If you have a car and proof of insurance, one of the easiest jobs to get is newspaper delivery. You generally get to choose how much time you want to put into it. You can do it for a couple of hours in the morning, or all day long. If you put in enough hours, you can make serious money.

I realize the car thing is a dealbreaker for many neets, but even if you can find a way to borrow someone's car, I recommend it as a good first job.

I'll add that this is an ideal job for neets because, aside from the initial interview (which wasn't bad at all; they basically hired me on the spot), it requires zero social interaction. You just walk in, bag up your newspapers, put them in your car, and drive around all morning. I only did it for a month when I needed extra cash, but I can see how it could turn into a stable career for someone willing to dedicate a lot of time to it.

Excellent advice, friend. Thank you for sharing.

I personally had never considered newspaper delivery even when I was a NEET, because I did not have a car and didn't know how to drive; but there are many different kinds of NEET, and some do have cars, and just have trouble finding jobs that require no social interaction.

from personal experience:

one of the easiest jobs, especially for someone with not the greatest social skills, would be night shift unarmed security at an industrial site, like a factory or warehouse (the experience changes radically for bar, residential or storefront security, so research the job to make sure it's industrial)

it can get pretty boring, but at an industrial site at night, there's almost no customer/client contact, barely any actual "work", and for the most part, you'll end up alone on a post pretty much free to do whatever for your time at work. For example, I spend most of my time at work shitposting and playing video games (is it what I'm supposed to do? no, but it can be done nonetheless). I've done many "self employment" type things while sitting behind a laptop on a security post, so it's definitely a good job for people who have indoor/computer/writing based hobbies.

as for the industry itself, security is a service that basically consists of "selling warm bodies", so if a company needs people, they typically really need someone, and will often hire the first person who can pass a piss test and doesn't have any felonies (note that some states have security certification standards that can cost a bit of money, but many also do not, so ymmv on that). Overall, it's not a hard job to get as long as you have whatever certs your state needs (and even easier if the state has none).

That's a good starting job definitely. The only concern I have is that eventually, they should hopefully start opening up a little to social interaction, which will help them continue on the road to recovery (irl friends can do things anons can't). A night shift is preventative of this in that it means they sleep when others are awake, and visa versa. It might have the unintended consequence of making them more socially reclusive.

oops. Didn't log in. This is a volunteer, not the owner.

I haven't found the right job for me yet, but I've gotten fired from several places for having autistic meltdowns so I can talk about what not to do.

>Morning shift stocking shelves in a grocery store

I wouldn't recommend this if you have a low tolerance for stress when dealing with rude customers and coworkers and low ambition to memorize where everything in the store is. I'd imagine it would be better if you were stocking shelves while the store was closed so you at least wouldn't have to deal with customers.

>Waiter

Rude customers and impatient coworkers also make this a pretty bad choice.

>Preschool aide

I thought it would be fun to work with kids but you still do need to work with other adults, and the parents are a nightmare.

Right now I'm in vocational school for medical coding and it seems like a good job for reclusive people because you can work remotely but I'm not in the field yet so I can't say much about it.

>they should hopefully start opening up a little to social interaction

I thought about that too, but there's a thing to it:

if they're 100% innahouse NEET, there is interaction between co-workers, so that helps break the ice a bit by introducing them to limited social interaction.

i.e. it's limited social interaction, not complete isolation in all cases.
