computer science bachelors from a garbage-tier school
$70k/yr working from home as a software engineer
very light workload, i spend most of my day farting around my house, either waiting for a conference call or waiting for someone to ask me to recompile the latest code

I fucking hate it so much, being home all day every day really fucks with your head, my depression is so bad I think it's actually making me physically sick

also i've been to probably 20 interviews in the past year but they all want full-stack engineers and I am really only familiar with back-end

Do something on the side ?

Unix Systems Manager for a global team. 130K/US. Stopped going to school when I was 14. No degree. No certifications. Went into IT in '96. I'm in my 50s.

What's the lesson here, kids? Stay in school (higher education or a trade) and make smart career choices early on. I'll end up dying while on a bridgeline at 4AM while my peers are on vacation and enjoy the fruits of their smarter decisions.

Ba in energetics engineer, and MA in automatics (gratuated this year).
MAde a deal 750euros/month during trial, after 1k+20% bonus depending on company n stuff.
Looking for 1k/year as I dislike current place I work at.

Wtf is a bottle shop. No answer provided

Studied Information Systems, had an internship as a software engineer, turned into a part time job, lasted 6 months total. Then went for another part time job (still in college) at a data center/hosting company. Was promoted 3 times in two years. Graduated, moved to a contract job doing System Engineering work for a large financial company for twice the pay. Contract wasn't renewed in March, haven't been able to find work since. I have a Security+ and a CCNA Routing and Switching as well, have been using Linux since I was 13, and know VMware ESXi inside and out (purple screen of death anyone?).

I have the degree and plenty of direct, hands-on experience to be a valuable "team member" pretty much anywhere. Problem is, they (HR and their overlords) are driving IT wages down mercilessly with shady as fuck hiring practices, as well as IT itself becoming more and more automated and scripted (thus, a much smaller demand for actual people).

I'd encourage people not to go down my path, IT is fucked beyond belief. Same goes for programming, being a code monkey is not something you want to base your life around. It is being ground into the dust as well.

I can't give realy advice on what to do instead, just be aware that (((they))) are grinding as many/all of the professions away. There is a reason for it. Everything is under attack. Even medfags are getting fucked.

I'm considering doing shit I hate and being a business manager of some sorts for my parents medical practice. That would virtually guarantee a six figure income after a few years. But I totally get that not everyone has that option.

Other than that I am considering law school (intellectual property/patent law) since my college grades are good enough for top-15 if I also do well on the LSAT, or Data Analytics.

tl;dr, STEM be fucked, yo. Pic related.

I studied broadcast journalism but then I got into recruiting. I’m 28, live in the Midwest, work from home, and make around 100k.

I sell wine and spirits. Only beer is available in grocery stores where I live. Wine and liquor must be purchased from a business like mine.

I'm a pipe welder and I make about 80K right now with my GI bill, once I become a Journeyman I'll make about 104K a year

Really want to finish my History degree though for personal goals and setting an example for my kids

you shouldn't even have a job with your bullshit field

Study: high school with some community college
Occupation: E-5 in the military, working IT (93 ASVAB)
Pay: approx $52K when accounting for benefits.

Coming up on six years. Comfyish job. Planning on 20 years. Also contributing heavily into my ROTH IRA. Single, no dependas.

Currently completing my last year of HS, going to University next year. Is Software Engineering a good path or am I getting meme'd? I'm from Montréal, if anyone asks.

I don't watch anime and I don't read manga. I learned Japanese in order to communicate with Japanese people!

chemical engineering was the biggest meme. it went from decent starting salary to no jobs so quickly. nearly everything moved to china, where almost all the chemicals are actually made now.

>t. has a friend who was chemical engineer with multiple internships and is now working in a different field

What field?

Degree: civil engineering
I just accepted a job nearly a year after 5.5 years of college (which I started 3 years after high school).

The job is construction field engineer and a salary of $43k to start. Review in six months with a raise expected.

>feels kinda bad man

the good news for my friend though is that he now makes well over $100k in the other field with his chem e degree. it's really specialized and he has almost no job mobility now

Which one? Economics or tech?

Navy vet
No college-self taught and gained certifications in CyberSec.
SOC Analyst, with a 81k salary.

But I hate it, I’m thinking of going into the Medical field, starting as an EMT and working towards PA school or something... something I’m torn about on the daily. Fucking hate school but I don’t feel purposeful as of now.

BSc Physics
MSc Biomed Eng
Systems Analyst Chief-- Lead teams of Scientists/Engineers doing R&D
$155k

My brother went into Chem E. Been about two years since graduation. All the women and Saudis in his class got hired immediately. Straight white males? Shit out of luck. No idea when he'll actually get hired. He claims to have put in thousands of applications and every other week a friend of a classmate's uncle has a lead on a job somewhere. I doubt he's even had an interview. He'll soon be in his 30's with no time spent in a career. It's sickening.

What exactly does a SOC analyst do? Wade through pcap files?

>CS
>First job out of college, 54k

Basically same situation as but they're anal about working from home, I do it in the mornings and go in after my first few calls. I've started programming a roguelike in my free time on the job

No college. Software dev. 150k/y base.

Im really into hunting/foraging for food now.

sounds exactly like my friend's case. he went for a couple years without a job related to his degree (he worked retail though for some of that time)

High school dropout
Learned HVAC on the job training
Now a commercial HVAC installation foreman
$54k per year, brand new company truck every year. Profit sharing bonuses, Christmas bonuses
2 weeks of paid vacation per year.
Bark orders at Mexicans all day.
Feels good man.

I’m more on the side of some OSINT related stuff, forensics, I read logs a lot of the time, maintain latency, make sure no ones being a retarded nigger on our networks-if I don’t actually have to be working on an active case/lead or incident. I’m only a T1 but it’s really light shit. I am really trying to be open and receptive to this line of work... but after being in the Navy I felt called to have some purpose and help others. I am a Texan and love to hunt and shoot shit, and be outdoors and this is complete opposite. But I’ll just have to find a balance I guess.

Here's my advice. Take some old video game you loved as a kid, and re-make it as a RESTful web-service. Then deploy it on a private AWS or GCP account.

You'll learn everything you need to be a full-stack guy, and you can show it off to your interviewer as something tangible.

If you’re serious I can maybe lead you in a certain direction towards employment. Any certs?

I wish I was in the US making big bucks, this communist piece of shit country is a joke.

quality post for once. Thank you for not larping with $800k salary as a Wendy's chef.

Have you ever considered pen testing, either network or application? I do application reverse engineering (bug hunting) for a fuck huge multinational. Everyday is different and exciting. I got my bs in comp sci, company paid for CEH, security+, cissp, etc.

no, just a useless networking diploma from herzing college circa ~2002. so mostly nt4 -2000 stuff.
