This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Not Educated Employed or Trained

People who made it to adulthood without doing anything in life. Commonly they are carried by their parents. They live in the basement/most secluded room in the house, play video games and jerk off all day, eat frozen pizzas and chicken tenders, and usually do this until they're like 50 years old, crusty, and their parents die.

I know a couple. Dropped out of highschool, and have been coasting for over a decade off their rich parents, never leave the house, never had a job. Been that way for over a decade with no signs of change.

I believe it refers to current status, so it's "Not in Education, Employment or Training". Doesn't mean the person cannot have a degree or diploma or at least finished school.

Correct, you can have a PhD and be a NEET. What matters is that you are currently unemployed, and not studying/training either.

I finish my current job in December and my new job doesn't start until March, for some reason. So I'm going to be Neet for that time. Or does the fact that I have a job, it just hasn't started yet, preclude me

[–] dev_null@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 days ago

Do you consider yourself unemployed? I'd say you aren't if you are already hired for the next job.

[–] TexMexBazooka@lemm.ee 4 points 6 days ago

The fact that you’re pursuing a job at all excludes you I’d think

Cool my highschool diploma doesnt count thanks to someone on the internet. Thanks disability income for making me a neet by circumstance

Damn, how do their retirement plans work out?

[–] Mojave@lemmy.world 6 points 5 days ago

As far as I've seen: usually suicide once they're on their own, body goes unclaimed, and their corpse gets donated for medical research (what happens to unclaims in my state at least).

Basically jobless adults who are not students.

Not in Education, Employment, or Training
