Tik Tok.

Not Tik Toker or Tik Tok Content Producer.

They want to be one with Tik Tok, they want to be Tik Tok. Every generation we are moving closer to the convergence of mankind.

I mean, stand up your own instance of peertube and you kinda can be lol

Basically Evangelion. But instead of cool ass mechs, it's idiot kids doing cringe hand dances.

[–] lorez@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

Closer to complete idiocy.

[–] banazir@lemmy.ml 29 points 2 years ago

Ha. The kids are alright.

I mean, let's see.

  1. You work from home (or anywhere with internet)
  2. You are your own boss (esk)
  3. You can possibly make more money than any of the other jobs listed below.
  4. You job is to have fun making content.
  5. All you need is a smartphone (no diploma, no certification)
  6. Companies give you free shit to promote on your channel and pay you as well.

Honestly, I hate it but it fucking makes sense tho.

EDIT: Also seeing the rest of the list, all other jobs are doing something ilegal or corrupt, and that os worse than TikTok IMO.

I would love to be a professional AirBnB squatter. That sounds awesome.

Paid to permanently travel internationally and stay in AirBnBs for free and harass shitty landlords all over the world. That's the life.

Those numbers don't even try to add up to 100%, so I guess each kid wants multiple things

[–] LadyAutumn@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 2 years ago

I think theoretically you could be a tik tok poster/woke moralist/airbnb squatter all at once.

[–] NuPNuA@lemm.ee 6 points 2 years ago

Woke moralist tik tocker is already a multi class isn't it?

So 2010s, Tik Tok is the new trend!

/s

but but more money

Why not all of them? Hire as an uber driver, paint wojaks of your guests (while driving, shout: Jesus, take the wheel). Film everything for tiktok, and rob them out at destination. The rest is the stuff you talk about while driving.

Edit: don't forget to steal the keys for your new airbnb squad.

I just hope they don’t take my boomer job as a blahaj puppeteer…. fuckin woke kids

[–] GigglyBobble@kbin.social 7 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

13.65% of kids are really really boring.

[–] WtfEvenIsExistence@reddthat.com 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They have Train Robber but not Aeroplane Hijacker? Terrible list. That should be number 1 most desirable occupation. I've always wanted to be the next D.B. Cooper.

I've always wanted to be the next D.B. Cooper.

I can point you to a great website for inspiration, it's called I'MDB.com

I didn't choose the crisis actor life. It told me not to come to school.

[–] ademir@lemmy.eco.br 3 points 2 years ago

That's the friends we made on the way.

[–] Zastyion345@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

That is for you to decide :D

[–] Disgusted_Tadpole@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago

Johnny Cash turned out to be a Highwayman, he was doing alright. Way to go kids

[–] worfamerryman 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What’s a wojak artist? And a crisis actor. And anything else on this list you care to explain. I know what a TikTok is.
