working minimum wage, programming is a meme to me. you need 3 months to learn c, but still you won't write down a whole program like ccleaner or something else I think, who knows...
I have a computer science degree and I'm having trouble finding real work. Get a trade or a comfy government job. My friends who didn't even go to college are all making more than me
Why the fuck are you working for minimum wage? If you're not in school you should be working full time. If you're willing to work full time find a proper blue collar job. Get a job at a warehouse or doing construction. There are plenty of places that will pay you to work if you're not a bitch.
what are some good trades
i tried to apply for construction and they laughed at me because im a pencil thin piece of shit
Try doing nootropics. It might make you less of a brainlet and make it easier to learn programming and stuff.
CIS here, but working as land surveyor.
also to clarify i am in school part time but it's beginning to seem futile.. like i said, programming, but of course i cant drop out unless i can actually expect to find a job
I worked in a factory... no AC, 12 hour days with split days off... Lasted two years before my body failed me
Everyone quit after a year, and they just hired and trained someone new to overwork
Land surveying is jokingly referred to as the world's second oldest profession. Just sayin.
ok where would i start
>working minimum wage currently, which i would be fine with if i could actually live off of it
Stop falling for the rent Jew. Living in your car is the true red pill.
Give up on programming. No one will hire you. Even CS grads can't get jobs these days
Call around ask if they need green rodmen. Civil engineers often partner with surveyors, so be sure to include them in your search.
honestly would be dope.. where the fuck would i shower tho, and can't the irs fuck me due to not having a proper place of residence? but yah getting a winnebago would be dope
not sure what that is, basically an apprenticeship..? doesn't that take years before coming into an actual career?
This, there's always IT but you'll begin to hate everyone and computers
An intelligent person would figure out “what to do”. Sometimes it’s obvious. Work your job, research a profitable small business/investment strategy, try to apply for better jobs at where the money is, Hang out with more successful people. Stop hanging out with fuckwits
>where the fuck would i shower tho
You could get a gym membership, someone else's house, or just use a rag or something to just wipe yourself down.
>and can't the irs fuck me due to not having a proper place of residence?
Get a PO box
don't you build a tolerance to this stuff, and over time it fucks you up and makes you slower/dumber?
Talk to that dude on the corner. He got what u need dawg
Check out this site that lists jobs by openings and pay. It looks like Registered Nurse is the best choice since there are lots of openings and its high pay. Accountant looks good too.
Application Software developer is ranked 42 with 4 bags pay, so this is a pretty good choice for you since you have an interest in this!

you mean coffee pills? I don't know.
I've actually heard the opposite. For some nootropics, I think they can actually get more effective the more you do them.
you could try learning html/css first. then jquery shit, and then actual programming. that's how i did it. in 2 years i went from nothing to 6 figures. but i did get lucky by getting a $20/hr job building shitty custom wordpress sites. however i did work my ass off and tried hard.
in the beginning you really won't learn anything until you have to build actual stuff. tutorials won't get you very far.
You could dress like a woman and claim you weren't hired because of discrimination. The problem is you'd have to wear women's clothes for the first year or before you transfer to a new job after gaining experience.
I honestly considered this after sending out 1,000 resumes and had a drunk genius idea. I'm too tall for high heels, however.
My shitty genetics make it so that I metabolize caffeine extremely fast and so caffeine has almost no effect on me, so I am forced to use other stimulants in order to wake up and get energy.
ok what your going to want to do is take out a loan if you can. if you cant set up a fake charity and get some add space in cheap locations like newgrounds dirt cheap. thats not going to last long
so you will need a gofundme and make up something. dont sound pathetic. it needs to sound fun but not to expensive
then your going to want to go get xps and then go to deviant art and find ripped models . then do some massive recoloring and get some stage elements while your at it. make a kickstarter for a game project that doesnt exist. make sure not to use shit thats to popular and retexture everything
then you will have exhausted most of your options and you will need to move up to home invasion. learn how to pick locks. its not about money. nobody carries real money anymore. its about food. the less food you have to buy the farther your shit pay will go
trust me im a life coach trust me
should have learned a trade, now its too late for most of you college cucks
If you are talking about Adderall etc yes if you don’t have a dopamine deficiency, you will build a tolerance, don’t do that. However if you are fairly smart but underachieving due to inability to focus, you might have ADD (dopamine deficiency). Get evaluated by a psychiatrist who specializes in adult ADD. I did this, and meds helped me a lot. I dropped out of high school but now make surgeon money writing software for a large company. Been doing it a while. Managed to get by earlier in career w/o meds but moving up to harder jobs where everyone else had PhDs, meds were required.
never said i was in college, what are some good trades
Nothing you dumb goy
The Jews are your master and you shall obey
I have problems focusing because of chronic depression, not ADD.
i've tried adderall a few times, and yes it was fucking great. it made me into a full wizard autist, but it worked so well that i could feel my frontal cortex melting away. there's no way that shit doesn't cause long term damage.
The thing with stims is that they have roughly the same effect whether you need them or not. The difference is that people who don’t have a need for them tend to build tolerance and escalate doses. I’ve been on the same (small) dose for years and start and stop at will.
Also, Adderall isn’t the only thing out there. It actually makes me feel kinda spaced out. Dex works way better for me. That’s why it’s important to go to a specialist who is willing to experiment vs a family doc who just knows how to give huge scrips for Adderall.
Get a job driving a truck or something. You don't have to do long haul trucking. I have a friend who failed out of college who is making like 55K a year driving a medium sized truck in the local area. Not bad pay for only a high school education.
That's going to be automated soon
How do you get it? I don't have an official ADD/ADHD diagnosis so I can't get a prescription for it, and I'm a socially awkward schizoid autist and don't know anyone who sells it.
Not that soon. Self driving cars still have a long way to go. They still get in crashes fairly often. A truck will kill people, not just cause fender benders. When you weigh 20X as much as the car you hit you obliterate them.
Do people on the dark net sell adderall?
I DUNNO DO THEY??? AND IF THEY DO IS IT LUDICROUSLY EXPENSIVE??? Yes
>Boomer posting
give up programming, pajeets have taken over the field
I'm not sure what the other poster meant but some of these nootropics things are natural and stimulant free like infomemes brain force that shit seems to work.
Holy shit I love it
HVAC always looked pretty comfy to me. You make about $50 an hour and there's a lot of circuit boards and wires and shit. Looks like what you do to change out an AC is just plop out the old one and plop in the new one like giant computer parts.
Get out of university and work fulltime untill you find an interest.
spend money on rent and groceries.
THIS ONLY WORKS IF YOU SAVE YOUR FKN MONEY.
drop out of university. everyone I knew who was in CS dropped out. half are carpenters now and actual men.
Legitimately find a skill you have a passion for, practice it, do whatever you need to do to advance your proficiency further, ideally look for work that utilizes the skill you are developing (but failing that look for steady pay to build some risk capital and savings), continue to develop your skill in your spare time (should be easy because if you're truly passionate about it you will always want to do it), optionally: develop your own business plan related to the industry you are a part of. Along the way, don't fuck up by spending frivolously, getting into shitty relationships, overdoing any of your recreational activities, or allowing your health to be jeopardized. If you want specific advice here it is: figure out who you are because when you know who you are and what you like, it's unbelievably obvious what you should do in life. For me, it's markets and trading. When I started trading, I realized this was legitimately what I was born to do, period. I think about it all day, I could talk about it for days on end, I dream about it. If I was fired tomorrow, I'd still be doing it because I want to get better. I want to be the best at it and I don't think I'll get fired any time soon because my employer sees that passion in me. No one here can tell you what you should be doing, but you need to find what you have the capacity to be a top level performer at. Maybe it's sales, maybe it's stand up comedy, maybe it's writing, maybe it's dealing drugs for all I know, but you need to find that universe of skills that draws you in. If you can't be the captain of a ship, learn how to build ships, if you can't learn how to build ships, learn how to clean them, if you can't learn how to clean them, learn how to sell them...you see what I'm getting at? Find your universe.
im joining the coast guard at 23
Interested in IT? I'm looking at getting a CompTia A+ certification, which is the most common entry level IT certification and possible in much less than a year. Entry level help desk/desktop support jobs pay like $12-$18 to start out, and they seem to be all over the place where I live.
Look up Professor Messer on Youtube. He has a free, comprehensive series on everything you have to know to get certified. Alternatively, there is a 30hr video series on Udemy by Mike Meyers that cost me 20 bucks, and it has pretty nice production value.
ok op i can help you. but first you need to post 2 things:
1) selfie with timestamp. censor your eyeballs for privacy.
2) your IQ
much depends on your answer
Don’t do trades. Trading your health and well being for $$$$ is retarded. The only people suggesting that are faggot neets who have nothing better to do.
def agree here, coffee is great, but nicotine spray is even better and it's not addictive either, it is the king of nootropics and cheap and not bad for your health lke ciggies are
Advice also needed,
I want to do a PhD in Philosophy. I know I won't make money doing, but holy shit I feel if I didn't spend my life studying this stuff I would just always feel empty. I am finishing up with my MA in theology, working at a school making a salary so life isn't bad but I want to make that next step.
My family thinks its retarded as do my friends. Mainly tho, I come from the working class and I guess they think of study philosophy is a waste of time for losers. I don't know what to do.
>it's not addictive either
Literally how?
>My family thinks its retarded as do my friends.
You are retarded. If you want to study philosophy, be an autodidact.
don't waste your time mang, go and do an aged care course, it's a shit job designed for women, but there is heaps of work and it pays good (at least it does here in australia), i'm casual but i work shifts when i want so i still get to go to the gym early and do my own thing, and with so many boomers it's a job that will be around for a while if you can just get past how demeaning it is for a man to work such a job to begin with
Literally bachelor's in political science and join the marines. I don't know why you people overthink this life shit.
I have this. Don’t know what to say about it. I found my passion through studying Philosophy but it doesn’t make me a single dime. What kind of Philosophy do you like?
Getting a doctorate will allow me to teach at college level.
because you only use it once or twice a day, 1 dose is like 1 ciggerette, so unless you start doing 50 sprays a day, you're fine, and as a non-smoker you get much more effect out of the spray
You could start by not using reddit spacing.
>reddit space
you have to go back.
By 25 I had 2 STEM degrees and had a trade under my belt (plumbing, put myself through college with it). I was making over 200k a year through my job plus side business and I had money in stocks and 3 apartments I was renting out. What the fuck have you turds been wasting your time on, video games?
Do you like teaching? I hated it.
I am interested in Progress - consciousness and space colonization. Have you heard of Teilard de Chardin?
CCNA is an excellent cert to get you in the door as well. Chris Bryant's Udemy series is on thepiratebsy for free.
> MA in theology
> want to study philosophy
go to seminary. there are some sweet dual degree programs if you can get in.
become a preacher. lead your flock. think about philosophy, informed by watching how the poor people in your congregation fuck up their lives.
pic unrelated but ignore lowclass advice
Yea, I teach now at an inner city all black school and its terribly frustrating, but even here I like teaching. I bet I would love it for people that are actually interested in what I am saying.
I get bad brain fog from nightshades though. I'm AG for the gene below.
you mean GIS?
If you can't find a job with a CS degree then you should make some good projects for your resume and learn to code well. No shortage of jobs for good programmers, just for shitty programmers.
Yeah, never invested much time in him. Those are fun topics though.
lmao
Honestly, I'm just going to kill myself if I have to work. I want a job inseminating hot girls for the rest of my life, if only that was a job and I could make money off it.
what degrees did you have?
>Programming
If you haven't cleared at least 75k by your mid 20's, I refuse to believe you're white
the master mason I was learning tuck pointing from said most of the guys learning were mid 30s and 40s looking for a career change. stop pushing kids buttons to generate interest in your gay faggot sparky union building walmarts with all your wive's son's in your little clique of dumb faggots
Are you the guy from the tea thread?
Godspeed, user.
You will be alright, I will pray for you.
If you could give me a rough idea as to your general location within the US I will direct energies that way.
How did you?
The only time people are actually interested is upper level university classes (I’m Canadian) otherwise people just want their credit.
The system is rigged, you must be a normie faggot gtfo
Stop right now.
If you aren't naturally interested in the subject you are setting yourself up for total misery in the future. You will be that guy in the office who suddenly realizes he isn't young anymore.
Don't force yourself into a position for the money when there are other ways to make a similar wage.
Think about what you like to do or have an affinity for and then strive for that. I have always been fond of animals so I'm going into veterinary school
>tfw you need a masters and 5 years experience to get the job
>just walk in and talk to the architect son
comp sci then wen back for a degree in chem engineering
I could not imagine having to start at the bottom in my 30s, having to get treated like a bitch and getting paid like $9. That's why at 18 I started learning my trade. I could never let a man younger than me tell me what to do and treat me like a $2 whore...
I was making 36k a year until I was 30, now I’m worth over a million and have multiple rental properties. Depends where you place your values.
You almost certainly know enough programming to succeed as a programmer, believe me. It's just that acquiring a job in the normieverse is an epic meme game of posturing and "networking" and other such faggotry. Just lie on your resume as far as you can get away with.
t. Programmer
Yeah because you choose the IT school network manager degree
You should have tried computer engineering, then you'd have less pajeets taking your job.
So many fucking normies ITT
10/10
Fuck, my dad runs a real estate company.... all I have to do is get a real estate licensee, move back home... do bitch work for a couple years, and the company is mine.
Fuck my home town though. What do? I'm currently getting a bachelors degree in philosophy... I'm not getting memed into STEM.
yeah alot of the companies just call it being an intern now gramps
You are a $2 whore either way normalfag
Yeah and I'm a 6'4'' Wendys chef
I make 150k a yr
people like you are fucking scum
Trade school.
Also, read this:

I wish I had learned it at your age.
Why? Because I can run my dads company, or because I don't want to?
I'm 27. Instead of wasting my youth playing video games and smoking weed I applied myself. I will most likely be a millionaire by 30, if not 35 for sure. And from there I will be unstoppable.
