      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
