I am an ophthalmic technician and medical IT specialist. I make $60k/year.

I lie about having a biology degree, in reality I never actually graduated but I know more than many grad students.

Technically yes, I needed a degree. I recommend everyone go to Community College for a year, see if they like it. If they're good at it, go on to university. If not, lie about having a degree. Pick something easy to fake like English or Political Science.

Employers don't check. It's never going to be an issue.

I write code for a giant bank

yes
yes

>Employers don't check.

What would the processes even be like if they did want to check?
Scan your fucking degree and send it over? Transcripts?

Having a degree sounds a lot like how people list their mom as a work-reference on a resume

...

do githubs get people jobs as much as reddit tells me they do

I mine and trade crypto
On Gramps and dads money
Getting an E.E. degree with an emphasis in C.E.

>What would the processes even be like if they did want to check?

I suppose they could ask to see your diploma. They could ask for transcripts. They could ask you to call the school's registrar and get a confirmation that you went there.

They don't do any of this, for practical reasons. It simply takes too much time and effort. They *do* check references, so that's harder to fake, but if you are fresh out of college age they will be more forgiving for lack of job history. The most important part is that you don't have gaps in your career where you were just being a NEET. So add in fake stints of education in between your real experience.

Also, make sure you actually know your shit. Don't apply for a job you're obviously unqualified for. You're trying to beat credentialism. Learn that word and what it means. You're trying to defeat credentialism, not competency.

It's almost impossible in the USA. Our welfare system is incredibly niggardly. My father, who is a disabled Navy veteran who nearly died in a helicopter crash has had to fight the VA for 100% disabled status for 4 years. He's still only at 90% disabled and trying for Social Security Disability.

People who say there are welfare leeches are fucking delusional. We don't even give veterans a measly living expense.

Mindfucked NEET virgins who think they're too sad to work don't have a chance.

pretty much if electrons move through it i can do something to it

i don't have a degree, i dropped out in senior year to start working because people only care if you can do what they want

It really depends on what country you are from. Look up how mental disability welfare works in your country, and act accordingly. Typically, you go to a doctor, a psychiatrist and/or a government welfare agent, and you explain him in detail what troubles you have to deal with. Tell them everything, tell them you have autism, or at least Asperger's syndrome, tell them you are a useless slob with no self esteem, tell them you have suicidal thoughts everyday, tell them you have never had friends, that you were always the weird child, tell them you have uncommon obsessions and you can't behave yourself in society and so on. You'll get a diagnosis. Then you apply for mental disability welfare. Obviously you can also apply for unemployment welfare but that usually only works if you have some work experience, and it typically expires after some time. Disability benefits are never cut out unless extreme right parties come to power.

As someone who tried and knows people on it, this isn't true. I know someone who has "back problems" on it who goes hunting and this one woman has a kid on it for being "bipolar". It's easy to get on disability if you lie and exaggerate. Yet there is a dude who is half blind, can't close his hands, and is all fucked up and got told to look for charitable organizations.

Disability is very easy to get on, unless you're an honest person who has any dignity.

Eh, I know two women who get disability for dubious mental conditions they don't really have. One gets it for PTSD from childhood trauma or whatever and the other chick said something about "her anxiety." Both of these chicks live in blue states too btw.

Selection bias. The data shows, overwhelmingly, that US citizens receive less in welfare than other Western nations. We are very stingy when it comes to doling out help for the disabled.

I have the execs by the balls so if they ever try to cross me i will just turn off the servers and see them cry, not the first time i would do it.

Pay is plentiful i am single so it tends to stack up, to feel better about myself i donate some chow pallets to some local dog shelters

>professional shill

There are 326M people in the USA. Your personal experiences are irrelevant, and actually you should suspect that they are counter-factual to the reality of the general situation.

The USA is incredibly stingy, on average, for providing welfare to the disabled.

How did you guys land your first job?

Something interesting and not some "my college set me up with it" crap. What are some practical efforts you made degree or not?

DevOps engineer, yes, no. Just need to teach yourself and read many books on differing technical opinions.

a job as a sysadmin.

no degree, just a couple of certs
no i dont need one

>What are some practical efforts you made degree or not?
Literally none.
Everyone's first job always comes from family, friends or college programs.
Good luck if you think "hard work" will get you anywhere.

First job is I knew a guy in IT and got referred for being good with computers.

Took that and went self taught myself a lot of what college is supposed to teach you. Then went to a career fair and wow'd recruiters with my breadth of skills and side projects I've completed.

Just fucking don't give up on trial and error. Rebuild old projects with new skills and learn from previous iterations.

Iam learning react, how did u get this jobs? It's what I want...

I am a student working in embedded development. 11€/h, 20h/week

For those self-studying, how do you keep yourself motivated?

>coast through state uni bumming around and binging anime at all times

Look at the companies hiring in your university's job center.

The shekels goy.
Learning for the sake of learning will get you nowhere.

Mining cryptocurrency. Doing really well
Have masters degree in philosophy lol

I get managers and recruiters contacting me citing my Github work pretty frequently.

>A+
Woooow, It's fucking nothing.

Was it really worth it? Thought about going for that or a Network+

How do i get in? Jus play at vegas?

>to feel better about myself i donate some chow pallets to some local dog shelters
Not even helpful faggot. Grow a tree or somethin.

Kek. This.

I work as a data scientist

>Do you have a degree?
Yes, I have a master degree in environmental science.

>Do you need a degree?
No, all you actually need is some basic statistics knowledge and know how to use python. I know more about machine learning than I actually need. You don't have to know how everything works unless you have a boss that is interested in the nitty-gritty (which they rarely are.) most shit is abstracted away with nice libraries like scikit-learn.

Despite it's non-existent practical usefulness, I have to admit I would probably study some fancy shit like philosophy instead. I have a bachelor's in CS that taught practically nothing about what I need for my current job.

Embedded systems programmer here.

I have a masters in compsci

I write code for a private company

Yes
No

Day trading.
Yes. Currently doing my PhD as an excuse to not work.
No.

Software engineer in devops space. 230k USD. Associates in IT. Probably something to show you aren't retarded.
Work experience goes a long way.

I install A/V equipment for various businesses. No degree or certification required.

how the fuck do you make a living doing this? I've read of so many daytrading failures and nightmares.

I build scaffolds for 100k+/year, depending on how much I work.

No degree, went to university for CS but dropped out. Returning to a polytechnic to get a piece of paper next year.

A monkey could build scaffolds.

software engineering @ ~120k/year
yes, because I didn't need to pay a cent for it
no one has ever bothered to check my credentials, so I might've as well lied about having a diploma

Most people failed because they're not disciplined enough (which is the hardest part about day trading) and became too greedy. As long as you keep your emotion in check, you should be fine.

I'm 19 and I leech child support from my father

What if you have no friends or family?

Where do I get started?

investopedia.com/articles/professionals/062215/characteristics-successful-traders.asp

how much of a bankroll did you start with? what are your signals for selling and buying? do you have specific sources from which to pull information or are you doing the analysis yourself? honestly, any advice is appreciated. daytrading has always intrigued me.

I trade forex. So babypips is always a good start.

The good (and bad) thing about forex trading is its high leverage so you don't really need much. I usually just watch out for the news, if there are any high impact news, i don't trade. For the signals, i just do technical analysis (looking at the chart).

I have a full time job as web developer and also drive Uber in the wekend nights.

>tfw nearly no free time

and how does a chart indicate to you any particular time is the time to sell or buy? surely that's somewhat subjective?

>and how does a chart indicate to you any particular time is the time to sell or buy?
By analyzing the chart you can identify the trends, supports, resistance, etc. Just follow the trends, if it goes down you sell and vice versa.

>surely that's somewhat subjective?
Indeed. It's something that you pick up the more you trade.

With my job

4 years of dual education made me a "press operator"

No, because my field is no longer needed since physical paper became obsolete

You better be making shitloads of cash for that kind of agony.

no

Do you make any decent money driving? From what I can tell the depreciation on the car, correct levels of insurance and all the other costs really makes it seem pointless.

Day job here is sr helpdesk / jr sysadmin but there are some days slow enough I could be driving around here and there.

make money programming
have cs degree
dont need it, i was making money programming for about 5 years before i got my degree, it definitely helps if you are serious about making a career of programming tho, you'll have trouble reaching the senior programmer level without it

Cybersec, although I mostly do 85% of the security tasks at my company at this point, 93k, third year working, first job
Yes, degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering
It helps, although Security is a starved out field right now, you could probably be underqualified and still make it in

I work at a grocery store.
I have a bachelor's in EE.
obviously not

Just graduated?

i graduated 2 years ago
I've only gotten one interview, which was by phone, and I fucked it up

Congrats, your degree is worthless now.

nah m8, if my loans are anything to go by it's worth at least $200 a month

Are you muslim? Same happened to me, but got a job after 1.5 years... Only people who graduated with me without a job were muslims (3 out of 5 muslims was without job everyone else had one) I applied for 300+ jobs and got one eventually literally one week after changing my name. Apply for jobs outside your field, give up the idea of getting a dream job even if you have a 4.0 GPA, one of the jobless muslims had that. But even he got a job eventually with his master degree in engineering ... Just keep applying. At least university is free here.

I hear they literally trash your resume if you have a non-white sounding name.
Unless you go to the valley, then they simply trash your resume for having a white-sounding name.

There are jobs for you in a Muslim country. Fuck off, simple

nah, I'm white, have a white sounding name
I think I just waited too long after graduating to start applying to places (6 months)

>>What would the processes even be like if they did want to check?
Diploma, transcripts... Do you not know how schools or jobs work?

I mostly drive 10PM to 5 AM fri/sat then from 11AM to 3 PM sat/sun, so yeah I make good money. These are the most profitable hours, I drive tactically with surge only, not grinding base fares.

I'm saving as much I can for a down payment for an apartment. I plan is to buy an apartment first and then buy a house, renting the apartment. If all goes well I should be retiring by my early 40s.

I've heard from an ex if mine that the diversity quota thing really fucked hard working females up, and she's kind of got a point
Most companies would now see hiring a female as fulfilling a quota, so they don't really bother looking for skill as they expect it'll just be an empty job, and avoid getting more than the quota asks for afterwards
So she's either out of a job, or deemed incompetent because 95% of the rest are Jamal and Stacy that can kode in JS

From my job.
No
No

>or deemed incompetent
probably the saddest part of all this nonsense

It's true though.
All women are shoved into welfare jobs like HR instead of being allowed near the production stack, it's a real shame, because I'm sure there's tons of competent women being grouped with the airheads.

Student welfare and leeching on my parents
Yes, vocational degree on ITC & majored on software developement. Currently attending on bachelor's level on the same major.
Yes, I had to apply here because I coudn't find an entry-level programming job without a tetriatry degree.

Oh, I believe it, I was agreeing.
It must feel terrible to develop a highly technical skillset and then get looked down upon as a fake after you get hired.

This is the reason why I would be against quotas for us muslims. Whoever is willing to hire 4.0 GPA Muslims with master degrees has tons of people to choose from and gets a huge edge compared to the rest who rather choose people with 2.0 GPA and complain that there are no qualified people to choose from. Most educated Muslims will be wasted of course, but we can handle it. We can always start a company if nobody wants to hire us. One of the people who rejected my CV hired me as an external consultant later for twice as much money with another name. Companies who are willing to be pragmatic can save tons of money and get ahead in the market and those companies will have much smarter people working for them for less than the competition. Rejecting people based on gender or if they are white or not is stupid.

It's incredibly easy to get a tech position in the military.

Would you make money if you had 32% tax on every sale?

Look at those tatas.

I "work" for a IT consultancy firm. They "trained" me for a couple of months, then I sit at home and wait for them to find me a contract for another company. Once they do, I go and work for the other company until the project is over, and then I'm back on the bench.

I've just joined the company and finished their training. I've been on the bench for a month. They pay me about 70k a year.

I'm gonna move on to another company in a year once I have the experience.
