Work a full time job instead of being lazy.

Whenever my account dips under $30,000 my mommy and daddy put more money into it

im a student though, trying to major in game developement

Do you have an education OP? If you don't, are there any careers you would like to pursue?

get a better job. it's not hard. just think of something really boring or hard or disgusting, something that no one else wants to do and do that.

like just be an accountant nigga.

im so sorry

>trying to major in game developement
This meme is overdone, nobody is going to believe your thread now.

By working 40 hours a week.

Are you an Accountant?

Learn something else.

>trying to major in game developement

This thread just got 100x funnier.

Is Information Systems a good degree? It's like a mix of computer subjects and business subjects.

hell no I'm not an accountant. who would want to be an accountant? that shit is boring as fuck.

But they get paid really well?

That's a terrible degree. Get a degree in something that pays more. Trust me not having to worry about finances is far more fulfilling than what little artistic freedom you get in game development. If you really want to work with games focus on something more specialized like 3D animation, or music.

...

>$300 a week part time

What kind of part time job pays $18 an hour after tax?

Most jobs are boring as fuck though. May as well do one that pays well.

Im a career firefighter making 60k. I work 24 hrs and have 48 hrs off. Perfect schedule for vidya. I also have a side business building computers and I have the ultimate gaming setup I have always dreamed of when I was a kid.

>how the FUCK do you guys do it?

Make $3000 a week.

It's objectively better.

Post pic of your muscles

What do you work as?

I make $300-400 every 2 weeks and work 20-30 hours a week

What job do you have

Ehh. If you want to break into the IT industry, it's all about vendor certifications and the degrees they offer usually just teach something those certs cover anyway.

Rack up 5000 hours in Fortnite like I did 5 years ago with TF2 when I was a student/unemployed and had no money for anything else.

I don't know if Fortnite is any good, but it's the only corollary I can think of as far as my own experience goes.

Whats the best and easiest thing to study in college to get a well paying job. I don't like anything that pays well so I just want to study something I hate to get good money.

>claims he works 20 hours a week
>claims his take home is 300 as a student

Nigga you seriously want us to belive you make 15 an hour part time as a student? Drop out of college and eat the debt you dumb negroid

The degrees colleges/universities offer, I mean.

I'm studying Biomedical Science and I work part time in a lab testing water samples for contamination and I get paid 14 an hour.

I make 60k a year. I never get to play more than a couple of hours a week anymore. It's part of growing up. You won't have 12 hours a day to play. Get used to it.

Business management

What sort of job would that degree lead to? Aren't business graduates a dime a dozen?

Get a job in construction. It's hard work but the money is awesome. If you master a trade, you're set for life. You can go anywhere and find work.

Plus chicks really dig guys who can build shit and use tools.

>not living with your parents
>no expenses for room, food, utilities, nothing
>spend 100% of my income on vidya
h-heh, losers!

Just graduated recently and got a job, even though I'm working 40 hours a week I've still got a pretty decent amount of time to chill and play vidya. Might go on shift eventually, working 2 days on 2 days off 3 days on 2 days off, rinse and repeat for 12 hours a shift, potentially might afford me more time to play vidya, I'd be getting paid a lot more at least.

What job?

develop a skill people pay for e.g. programming

Do I need to be autistic to be good at programming?

>tfw just got a job making 40k a year
better than 0k a year.

I got a degree in Business Administrations with a focus on Info Systems, so I would say you are probably right since I haven't been able to find a career type job for the past year.

Am working though, so at least I am doing something while I job search.

not really, basic logic isn't difficult, just be better than yanderedev

Got my B.S. in chemistry, working at a nitrogen fertilizer production plant in the quality control lab. My starting pay is 21.14 an hour, the benefits are really good, and there's a lot of opportunities for pay advancement, not to mention if I go on shift and work nights I'd probably be making close to an extra 10k a year.

>21
>live with parents
>work 6 hours a week = 59€ a week
>can buy all the vidya i want

suck wieners 20 dollars each

Fuck. I need to move to America. I have a similar degree and I only make 15 Euro an hour. I work in a quality control lab for a Pharma company.

I hope american employers recognize your degree. Your experience will probably go for though.

you can make more in murica for sure. move on down to texas, brother.

any company of any integrity will accept a EU degree.

I have a B.S. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry so I'd assume they would recognise it. I'm not from some weird country, I'm from Ireland.

>Make $160 a day
>but no time for vidya
>backlog is huge

Why live?

...

I regret not studying Chemistry instead of Microbiology. I work for Pfizer and I only make around 16 an hour.

What skill do i learn to be able to work from home? I have no artistic talent so i can't just commission guro furry porn.

Yeah, though honestly I think I got kind of lucky with this job, I don't know how well some other QC positions would pay, I was really only expecting to make somewhere between 30-40k initially. It's also got good healthcare, vision, and dental, 401k, pension plan, free short and long term disability, and some other nice incentives. It's also a pretty nice work environment.

I do want to eventually go back and try to get a Ph.D though.

become a tranny and twitch streamer

I work between 12-14 hours in Micro every day. I hate it. It's miserable as fuck.

I just pirate everything, that way I can afford to play without getting a job.

>live in townhouse apartment
>work full time as programmer
>make $6500 a month
>no girlfriend, no social life, spend weekends at home
>still pirate my vidya anyway
I could afford to buy every game I pirate and still save luxuriously for retirement but why pay for what I can get for free?

Shit I need to finish Deus Ex

Shut the fuck up, pipette bitch.

>pension plan
I just got a pension with my new gig

>tfw 3 years till fully vested though
looks like I'll be hanging around. no companies offer pensions these days, I feel lucky to get one.

Whats your problem?

How do i into programming?

I'm sorry to hear that user, one thing that surprised me though is that I'm really the only technician in the lab that has a degree in chemistry. From what I understand a lot of chem majors would rather work in research as they find stuff like this too routine or something. I can see that things might get a little routine, but honestly I don't mind it much at all, I've always liked working in a lab setting. I do like research too though, did 4 semesters of undergraduate research in college and even got two papers with my name on them.

Yeah, it's apparently really rare to find companies still offering pension.

How hard is the programming work you do user?
Also what skills should I be getting good at such as OOP?

There's tons of free cod camp sites, it's not hard if you have the right mindset (self-motivated, like solving logic puzzles, good lateral thinking etc). The important thing is building a portfolio, start contributing to open source projects so you can build a resume. Tech companies look for people with experience more than degrees anymore, I didn't have a degree when they hired me.

you guys need to get out of the lab you'll almost never make money like that unless you're in R&D.

Look into regulatory affairs. It's easy as fuck and the average pay is 70K a year.

It's free money. Most companies have went back on pensions. I'm lucky TIAA isn't jewish to their employees.

lol get fucked fag

14/ hour is minimum wage here in canuck

>tfw send the babby first draft of your Intro/Methods to your thesis advisor
>says it was well written
WEW

I'm still considered a junior developer so I'm very much code monkey. I do full stack development: data, back end, front end/UX, whatever. These days I'm doing a lot of front end work for web applications, a lot of java + javascript frameworks (Angular, React etc).

OOP is popular right now for sure, you absolutely cannot go wrong with learning C++ (if you want to develop on mobile) or Java. Javascript is the titan of web development though, and when it comes to Javascript it's all about what frameworks and libraries you have experience with. Going into this job I'd only done NodeJS development with some React, but after getting hired they had me working on Angular projects so I had like a week to bone up on Angular so I could do the work. If you can't teach yourself new technologies fast then you won't last long in this industry.

>regulatory affairs.
Do you work in it? How did you get in to it? I did one module in it back when I was getting my degree.

It's only a starting thing for me, I was considering graduate school, but not a lot of places accept in the spring and I really didn't want to start doing another 4-5+ years of school again. I wasn't expecting to be making tons of money right from the get go, I just wanted to get some experience, get a chance to take a break from school, and make some money in the meantime. I also live in kind of a poor state with a very low cost of living.

>300 a week is 1200 a month.

Fuck you man. I make like 1000, and still have money for tons of food. No vidya after rent tho, true

>tfw unpaid internship for the summer turned into a paid job as a lab tech
fuckin nice, can finally get that enfield i've been eyeing in my LGS

>Make just over 300$ a week

What's the easiest language to learn for a beginnerfag?

>make $70k/yr gross
>40 hrs/wk
>last 4 games I bought are still in the shrink wrap

it's not any better on the other side of that equation, OP

bitch i work 35 hours per week but have plenty of money for vidya. why life is that shiet?

I don't live in Africa, I work 3 days a week and make like $700 a week

What do you do?

>just three more years of saving $500/month and I can afford a CNC milling machine
its gonna be so fuckin sick once I get one

Why do only boring stuff like Accounting and Computer nerd stuff pay well? I want to be a Psychologist. It's the only thing I like.

Just pick one, your first language is going to be difficult no matter what because the real hurdle to learning to program is grasping the logic, not the syntax. So I guess start with Java? There's a metric shit ton of free material out there for learning Java. Take a look at codingbat.com/java which has a ton of exercises for basic programming concepts using Java, goes over data structures and how to manipulate them and basic logical stuff like loops and if statements. These are the important concepts you need to master, not so much the syntax.

If you are serious about learning Java then you should download Intellij or some other IDE used by industry professionals. I use Intelleij at work, along with the frontend IDE made by the same company called Webstorm. There's also Atom if you want something more light weight and which doesn't gate a lot of the cool shit behind a premium account. My company pays for the commercial IntelliJ license though so I it's what I use.

>Tfw register jockey for life
There's no escape, cleaning fast food "restaurant" bathrooms and dealing with "can i speak to your manager" soccer moms for minimum wage is all i'm cut out for.

nigger the median pay for a psych major is 73k/year, it pays pretty well

I only buy games that can be infinitely replayed and enjoyed to top your score, like Devil May Cry type games or Pacman Championship Edition.

If you can actually find work though. It's much easier to find work if you have programming chops. There's a huge shortage in the tech industry.

don't even complain about finding work nigga, i'm a fuckin chem eng major/nuc eng minor

I can't even get a call back from most places like Geico and Dell for simple analyst positions and I got honors in my Information Systems degree. I feel like I totally fucked the bucket and won't get anything like a nice 50 to 60K job.

>'This is a red call to checkouts, can all multi-skillers please attend checkout, thank you.'

Don't buy a million games. I'll buy maybe 3 a year, and most of them are on sale
