How you plan on upping your income: second job as photographer or some shit

Oh that's right, you're all NEET

Age: 33
Job: mid-tier office job
Salary: £22,098

I already worked 3 jobs for a few years to pay off my debts and save for a house deposit from being 24-28. Moved out 2 weeks before my 28th birthday.

I value my time too much to take on extra work or an extra job to up my income. Feeling pretty stuck really. All I've done is cut back on my expenditure rather than working more and been really frugal. I don't spend much on cars, eat pretty cheap (well, but frugally), I don't go on holidays or eat out much. I'm just trying to throw all my extra money at overpaying the mortgage so I can get my next house. I'm going to get something that needs work and do it all myself.

$23h as a bartender how did you swing that gig op?

I worked for a company removing pool in socal for about 4 years, saved all my money. Got fired December 2015, applied for my contractors license. Unemployment for 6 months studying for test passed June 2016 got it and took all the jobs out in the boonies no one wanted. Bought everything cash no debt own 75k$ in machines plus my truck and trailer. Rain has been backed up

Job is cool, but I wish I had more time to spend with my wife.

What type of training or school did u have to go to get where you are

how much do you work/week? What languages do you know?

Don't you guys just build products that researchers use?

Why do you have your own research division?

I'm unemployed op

C++ mainly but I'm also pretty good with python and Java. 40 hours a week

Justin?

No real "training", but you need a mix of educational brands and experience to land a job where you can serious help or fuck up a business.

UC Berkeley & Stanford are the closest things to training that I have on my resume.

American living in the UK. I have a plan for business. Feel like I need a degree to fall back on if shxt goes south...if it works though I'm sure I'll be wealthy.

Is a college degree necessary to earn that much as a software developer or skill is enough?

yeh thats the nature of that beast. Its competitive af. So you know...don't take too many unnecessary risks....sometimes just let em die rather then do a procedure.

Keep that record clean dude...it matters down the line.

skill can be enough, there are stories of stay at home moms getting jobs at google. You're going to have public projects like a website or a game that proves you have programmed before. And the interviews aren't easy they are very technical, one of the questions they asked for my interview was to write some psuedocode that could tell you whether two rectangles are intersecting from their coordinates. I got it wrong but you gotta know something to get through that part

my advice would be make solo projects that you can put on a resume and talk about in an interview

We have like 100 different research divisions. My team develops molecular asssays for pathogens..

Not the same user you asked, but no, a degree is not necessary. As long as you know your stuff. Coding isn't really even the hard part. Writing good, concise, reusable code is what it's all about.

Yeah? How do you like it? I'm about to graduate with a PhD in neurosci from a major school and have considering Thermo Fisher.

WTF? how is that even possible?

this nigga about to get screwed and living in truck

This. Any monkey can write a program that works. It takes great skill to write one that works forever, isn't full of bugs, and can be maintained or extended without trouble.

I'm 25, live in so cal, and haven't had work since the company I work for went under.

>3100euro a month

its not much but its so fucking easy and im only 19yr and still live with my parents so i save alot of money

I bought picrelated. Life is pretty good atm

I'm still pretty far from that. Learning c# and i just got to windows forms, but want to learn Java and C++ right after. Once i know one language i assume it'd be easier to learn new ones.

That's pretty much what i thought, i just wasn't sure it'd be like that everywhere. So if i'd speak near perfect english and i was about to move to the US or any country that doesn't suck as much as where i live now, i could live relatively well off software development right?

Age: 24
Job: Founder of web company
Wage/Salary: About $30k a month
How you plan on upping your income: probably cold call more businesses

thats cool but why would you buy a 4 door sedan. What are you, 45 with kids? Take that shit back and get the coupe version

Do you work for a company or is it freelance?

Did you get a degree? Did you have to learn SQL and any programming languages besides HTML/CSS?

Where do you live?

Suburb of Chicago.

if you're outside the US it may be easier depending on where, I only know what you need for decent company in the US. I bet there are some countries that need software developers and might hire people with less skill if they speak English and know math and stuff

Is that your car?

Nice, I went to college for web development but I quit because everyone said the job market was dead because of the economy and shopify and what not. Are there really a lot of clients who are willing to pay decent money out there, maybe I should go back?

L O L.

I love people like that, makes my day. That there's people out there who still believe that. More for me I guess. What they DIDN'T tell you is that there's always, ALWAYS going to be a market for custom web design. Hell, even web design in general.

I sell websites, marketing software and I even have video series on how businesses can be successful online.

All for $199 a month.

I still get people calling me every day, I have to tell people I'm too busy most of the time.

Well it was around 2009 when everything went to shit, plus I had to learn JAVA and Python and shit and I couldnt understand them so I quit. Any tips on learning programming languages when your professors are incompetent, and do you really even need to know back of house shit?

>> IM A ILLEGAL INMIGRANT I HAVE A SMALL BUSINESS OF GARDENING IN SOUTH CALI, I MAKE ABOUT $300K A YEAR I GO A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL EVERY YEAR JUST TO DEDUCT ABOUT $25K MOST OF MY INCOME IS CASH SO FUCK IT

I don't work in IT yet, i'm currently in a 2 year programming course, first year is C#, second is java and C++, also doing some basic SQL now (this week was the first time i've used it).
We'll do some routing too.

The course itself is slow, and low quality (except for the c# part which is just slow), but it's way easier this way than online tutorials, and i get to know some people too.
Also once i got the basics and i understand what the tutorials are eve saying, it'd be easier to improve by myself.

Hey, I'm in school for welding and I was wondering if I should go mig or stick once im done

I live in hungary, it probably requires less skill here, but only pays 2-3k$/month tops, and you need to be one in a thousand for that. average is just above 1 k

Wow, thanks for the advice, I guess Ill look into finishing my degree (I was like 3/4ths of the way through it anyway). But Im currently working on growing a business that I started so I want to see how that pans out and then Ill look into it from there.

Whats the easiest way to learn the programming languages you need though because I couldnt for the life of me figure them out and the community college I went to was completely useless in helping me to understand what I was doing wrong. They would literally just assign chapters from the book, not answer any of your questions and then give insanely difficult tests every week which I obviously failed.

I really only know HTML/CSS and enough JQuery to get me by.

Ya right faggot.

learn python it's a relatively easy language to learn. there are good resources like codeacademy to get you started but you really just gotta have a simple idea and try to implement it and learn to deal with everything that goes wrong
