Hey misc do you think I should get a job?

Last thing I wanna do is become a wagey but everyone around me is telling me to get a job. My parents, friends and people in wrestling. The thing is I get a chitload of money from financial aid and i never spend anything either. Ive made a lot of money since starting college without even working so why become a wagey? But another problem is since I didnt work for this money I never let myself spend it so it just piled up in the bank due to my guilt and love of money. What do you think I should do? Btw I have never had a job before in my entire life.

Might as well try it since you've never had one before. You might like it. If you don't, you can always just quit anyways.

Very true but for me finding a job seems very difficult. I dont wanna put in a lot of effort to get nothing out.
Once I asked to work at taco bell and the manager told my friends that work there "Oh the fat kid that showed up the other day? He was too shy I didnt like him"
Not only am I too shy but im also apparently fat(i had ripped abs back then just like now idk why he thought im fat)

As someone who didn't have a job until I graduated college, I wish I would have started working in high school because I think it would have helped me develop socially/personally much earlier.

Edit: Just read your above post and sig, seems like it would help you too. The sooner you get yourself in a good place, the more you can take from life.

Im not in high school anymore but i am a social wreck which is very obvious. Its the main reason my parents want me getting a job.

how the fuk do you save money when you have no job? Wouldn't you have so much time on your hands that youll be out every time? What do you do on your spare time/do you have any hobbies at all?

Exercise, fap, watch videos and I go to my old high school so I can wrestle sometimes. All of these cost me nothing so money just piled up my first semester in college.
Also my parents really love me, sometimes my dad just gives me a $100 dollar bill for no reason at all. I dont really care for it since I dont spend it.
Sometimes I also go to help him with work so I make about $50 when I do that.

Yeah. I even workout at home so that doesnt require me to leave either lol. I cant really think of going anywhere. If I really feel like it ill jog to the wild and have a hike by myself.
My whole life just leads up to isolation. It doesnt really take much discipline to not spend money when you have nothing to spend it on. The thing is if it costs me money then I dont desire it. Just the thought of paying for it will make me feel guilty so I would rather not have whatever it is. When all your desires are free you spend very little.

I already have hobbies and dress pretty well and obviously I eat right and workout. I just need a job.
Edit: writing a resume as we speak. I am tired of being jobless and want to see what its all about.

You should give all your savings back to the government since you've done nothing to contribute to them.

You're no better than a tapeworm.

Depends if a clinch can be initiated by wrestler. If not wrestling is useless at that point. But if it can then takedown/slam->ground and pound. But without initiating clinch not a high chance of a takedown especially against a skilled striker. They can just move the fuk out the way.

Yeah, there's so many variables, but I agree. If a stronger dude gets a hold of you, it could be game over like a close range bar fight for example.

Then again, in a street fight, if there's spacing and the striker is good, you could eat some absolute bombs even trying to shoot / clinch.

OP it's always good to have some experience under your belt for after College. You can even look at part time jobs instead of hitting the full load since you are not the social type. I've heard volunteering looks amazing on a resume instead of a job. Good luck OP

Wrestlers arent always stronger than boxers. They just focus on a different type of fighting. And what you said is a very good point. In a tight space a striker wont have space to move but a clinch can be initiated even if there is space. The thing is strikes are very fast on their feet so you cant 100% rely on that.
But yeah too many variables and hard to define what a "good" striker and wrestler are. Its best to know both to be well rounded and not eat chit.

My body type fits BJJ better than wrestling for sure. BJJ classes are expensive as hell though. Currently just in boxing and muay thai classes.

I spar with my wrestling friend and god damn getting double legged by a stocky wrestler dude is serious chit. I know basics ofc like sprawlin. The only thing I was thinking though, in a real fight situation (depending on how my accuracy / timing is) if a wrestler shot on my legs, they could potentially eat a massive kick / knee if I read it well. Moving is a huge factor like you said as well.

Serious my worst fear is getting grabbed by someone stronger, because i know on my feet I actually have a chance, but going to the ground (esp with someone bigger) is no joke at all.

All in all, my take down defense is very weak vs someone with any sort of grappling skills.

Bro dont worry about bodytypes just train what you like.
And yeah you are absolutely right about eating a kick or a knee while going for a double leg. I myself never really shoot in that much even when I wrestle let alone if i got in a fight. I prefer to do something like a knee pick which imo is much safer and pretty effective. Also I like to take their back and do something like a mat return if I can.

I'm seriously considering taking off in boxing / muay thai to pay for some wrestling or bjj.

Anyways, good luck with the job search mane.

Thanks man.
Also like I said just do whatever you find more appealing. Chances are if you ever have to use your skills it wont be against a trained fighter so anything you do whether grappling or striking will give you a huge advantage.

Judo is much better for the clinch. A wrestler would just go straight for the takedown. The only thing a wrestler does in the clinch is underhooks but why stay there. I personally don't like being in the clinch up against the cage. Most of the time I'll just push them off me.

Not to be dick but you dont know the first thing about wrestling.
Im not saying Judo sucks but there are a lot more wrestling takedowns other than the double leg. Also wrestlers dont just use underhooks in the clinch. If this is your idea of wrestling then you never wrestled.

. Lol... So your dad will just randomly give you $100 for no reason, but when you actually do something and work for it he only gives you $50?
