Wtf. at that age are we really supposed to have our lives and careers sorted out by then. Her character also seems a lot more mature and worldly than I am now.

fuck this depresses me. at least bond and other male leads tend to be a lot older so I don't feel as bad.

Anyone else compare where a character is at life when they are supposed to be the same age as you.

never used to make me feel bad when I was under 25 but now it's really getting to me ;_;

Jesus, what a hack

Nobody wants to watch a 26 year old working some entry level job nor do they want to watch a 56 year old have sex with James Bond.

She got where she was because she had amazing tits and was being supported behind the scenes by Spectre.

And she was a disposable asset who died in the movie she was introduced in. Do you want to be a disposable asset?

>Eva was 26 in Casino Royale
>she's an old woman now

Where dies the time go?

You posted this thread before.

>he recognizes Sup Forums threads
Now who's the real loser?

No wonder so many men are becoming women. It really ia easy mode.

I don't know.

MOOOOOOMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYY

I think it's the guy who keeps posting the same thread on Sup Forums?

I mean I know I'm an idiot, but that guy's gotta be like... a DOUBLE IDIOT, right??

I recognized it too

;_;

You were supposed to graduate at 21 years old and have a job right away

22, first promotion.

At 27, you SHOULD be making at LEAST 100,000k/yr.

If you're not, that's you're own fault for not taking initiative...

Nobody will dispute me?

t. Born in first-world country to upper-middle class family with good genetics

I'm 27 and I make 25k a year.

That's no one's fault but your own for not working towards making more. I assure you than your peer, the same age, are making twice as much or more

No because everyone at this point knows reality isn't that.

I'm doing 'very good for myself' being 25 and making 37k with full bennys

Best way to happiness is to stop comparisons.
Also stop Internet shitposting.

I feel like the financial crisis set back a lot of companies, and that got back to the perspective employees. Basically, if you don't have at least a year's experience by 25 you're fucked.

Radiohead were in their late 20s when they made OK Computer.

the you know whos want you to feel pressure to work hard and spend.

I get a similar feeling when I see young rich female pornstars, youtubers, twitch streamers, etc. I'm almost 24, and the only job I've done is foreign English teacher. I don't even like teaching.

Wow, so they made 2 pretty amazing albums, one of which had a MASSIVE hit single that is still played on the radio, the other which is held to a really high esteem for a rock album.

>be 21 fresh out of college
>you werent 1/1000 who got accepted into a graduate job

I wish i was intellichad who looks like a slick professional the moment he puts on a suit so all the HR departments cream their pants and hire him.
Or Stacy, who get in by default cause every company needs a pretty face at reception

I recognized it too, I need to take a vacation from here.
I like the concept of the thread though.

This thread again? srsly copy/paste? at least make some effort...

That's Paris Texas you nonce

This

Accountants start working at 21 or 22 and become managers after 5 years, assuming they jump through all the hoops at correct times. A real accountant, assuming everything has gone right in their career, would just be hitting their stride and getting upgraded to a slightly larger cubicle at Vesper's age.

A woman with the right background, connections, and tits would be able to skip a lot of that five years and go straight to more interesting stuff, though her job would be necessarily be less technical and more of a glorified sales gig.

True high powered jobs for super successful 20somethings usually involve 90hr work weeks, essentially being deals where you trade your youth away to the firm in exchange for a golden stamp on your resume that will get you a cushy job anywhere you want afterwards. I guess if you are a superstar student at an Ivy League college you might be able to get a sweet gig at an intelligence agency, but even then you would be sitting in cubicles while managing the actual field agents, who are usually miscellaneous locals who get bribed or coerced into going along with what the intel agency wants.

Conclusion: Vesper was not a real person and Eva Green was cast in the role because she was sexy rather than because she could plausibly be a high powered executive-cum-secret agent.

she hasn't met me yet

Blown the FUCK out

>Me
>23 years old
>Manages multimillion dollar system installs
>Sleeps on a queen size mattress on the floor but invests a few grand each month
>Came from working class background so received massive financial aid, now debt free

Vesper seems highly competent but pretty realistic.

I'm 23 and making 80k/yr

I'll be disappointed if I'm only pulling 100K a year by 27

You're also 60 pounds overweight

80k on the coasts is like 18k a year in middle America with purchasing power parity. Not impressive unless you provide city. If you say Minneapolis etc I'll be impressed

>29 years old
>LLB 4yrs experience financial law
>80+ hours a week
>90k/yr + bonus

I heavily medicate myself every night just to sleep.

>80+ hours a week
>I heavily medicate myself every night just to sleep.
Yeah you'd have to. Enjoy losing years of your life to overwork and stress

>implying OP is somehow an indispensable asset ATM

>implying life isn't literally all luck
>implying free will exists
>implying things like intelligence/behavioural traits/a bunch of other things aren't prominently determined by genetics
>implying the social circumstances of your birth and upbringing aka the opportunities for experience available to you which determine the rest of your behaviour are at all in your control

besides that stuff, "making more" isn't what you should be working towards. what are you actually going to when you have "more"? figure that out first so then you actually have a concrete incentive.

Is it even worth 80 hour weeks?

>comparing your life to the life of a fictional character

???????????

What usually happens with young lawyers is that by the time they realize how badly the hours suck, they have no choice because it's the only job they can do with their qualifications that can pay off their astronomical law school debt.

He's laughing straight to the bank in his Mercedes, user.

Post this on you fucking loser. Post some tits instead.

*blacks your path*

This is what's expected of everyone now. Contribute to society. Pay your dues. Keep your head low at work. Get your pay. Pay taxes. Look forward to the fleeting weekend. Work the weekend when your work calls you in. Live. Work. Die.

So much this. Not only OP is a loser but also retarded

Just donate your organs OP someone more relevant can use it

You mean sleep driving into a divider.

Hot girls have it pretty easy in the world. They don't even have to be smart. Haggard old dudes will still do whatever it takes for even the chance they will get in their pants.

You are supposed to care about stuff like that only if everything in your life is going great and you are like "i'm, i'm getting validation from society that i'm doing great, feels good", otherwise there is no point on dwelling on it. I mean I spent all of my uni years thinking about how worthless I am because i thought that hating on myself was the right kind of motivation but it only made me feel extremely powerless and my life still ended up shitty.

What you should do is start looking for the true you, one that is worthless but happy. I mean going for the career in physics at 35 is pretty worthless but if your life is in shitter anyway it shouldn't matter all that much.

So yeah being a loser is the universe's way of telling you to drop the pretense and get into silly worthless juvenile stuff that you actually enjoy

but your digits are on point

Close, Madison Wisconsin!

I'm in fairly good shape, customers need our pretty faces and soothing voices. Try finding a dev if you want one of our bigger friends. They also make bank and are generally really cool, we all win.

porn is literally the easiest industry to get into if youre a cute girl.

>im cute and want to get naked
>youre hired

At age 23, Tina Fey was working at a YMCA.

At age 23, Oprah was fired from her first reporting job.

At age 24, Stephen King was working as a janitor and living in a trailer.

At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.

At age 28, J.K. Rowling was a suicidal alimony succubus.

At age 28, Wayne Coyne was a fry cook.

At age 30, Harrison Ford was a carpenter.

At age 30, Martha Stewart was a stockbroker.

At age 37, Ang Lee was a stay-at-home-dad working odd jobs.

Julia Child released her first cookbook at age 39, and got her own cooking show at age 51.

Vera Wang failed to make the Olympic figure skating team, didn’t get the Editor-in-Chief position at Vogue, and designed her first dress at age 40.

Stan Lee didn’t release his first big comic book until he was 40.

Alan Rickman gave up his graphic design career and landed his first movie role at age 42.

Samuel L. Jackson didn’t get his first major movie role until he was 46.

Morgan Freeman landed his first major movie role at age 52.

So no, the main point when it comes to following your dreams is actually wanting to.

I'm a 35y/o fat fuck production manager for a Asian fortune 500 company.


Make about USD$200,000/MONTH


Bonuses at the end of the year another 200k


Fuck my secretaries each weekend


Eat steak dinner and 5 star hotel buffets every weekend


AMA or fite me

Nearly all of these succeeded due to CONNECTIONS, which few in this thread have.

You can be working at YMCA sure, but that doesn't mean shit if you're already hooked up.

Honestly if there's anything I've learnt it's to never date/marry a secretary because she's most likely fucked her boss.

lol

>At age 27, Vincent Van Gogh failed as a missionary and decided to go to art school.
But he only became truly famous when he was deadand was a loser his whole life, all the other examples are good though

You'll be suicidal in three years once you get money you realize it doesn't do shit for happiness and then you end up surrounded by people who make you feel alone but at least you're rich right

You need to get your shit together user. Go learn a tradeskill, they're making a lot of money right now and there's a huge demand for them. Plumber, masonry, electrical, welding... whatever you think you'll be good at. I was working at a GM engine plant while in uni and those guys were making 100k+ a year with all the overtime they were constantly offered. It was my backup plan if i couldn't find a job with my degree.

28 make 14K a year, beat this.

You didn't try hard enough.

Seems like everyone's a fucking software engineer these days.

You don't know what you're talking about
You don't even know what connections are you dummy

Its not about being rich, its about being comfortable.

Yes, my job can be stressful at times. I don't want to pretend that I have some magical thing set up where I can fuck off and still get through.

I came from a working class background, where my parents had to save and scrape every step of the way. It feels good to not have to worry about health insurance, my car, my rent, or paying off loans.

I think you need to find a balance. I'm fairly far from my family but I have a great girlfriend and friends/coworkers who care about me and who I care about. I live really frugally, by choice rather than necessity. It takes a long time before you stop feeling "poor", even when you aren't anymore.

The money is good, but I like the challenge of the work and I think I have a good life. The money is for "later" if that makes sense? Its not about me having wild shit now, although I do treat myself from time to time. Stability is the most important thing money can buy.

And nobody is fucking them! Go figure. That's what the money is for.

You're not getting laid? Feel you bro. Seems like alot of guys are just nowadays are just working the 9-5 then going home to jack off.

Someone has to write the code to automate all the pleb jobs. I work at geico and we're currently rebuilding all their software to cut back on how many 30k a year cucks they pay to sit on telephones all day.

>The money is for "later" if that makes sense?

One day you're going to wake up old and realize you were saving for nothing.

>no one is fucking them
There's uni not far from where I live. I merely mention an internship to girls who pretend to code and really have no skills and next thing I know she's at my place getting dicked.

Women really do suck and fuck their way through life.

I'm at a coop right now as a junior dev, two more semesters of school in a few months and I become a full-on software developer.

Should I do it? Or try and pursue something I like more?

And the money they save from not needing to hire those cucks will go straight to upper management and execs. You won't get a pay rise, not for another couple of years. You contribute to exponentially growing profit margins but your own income growth is static. You are working to destroy the lives of those you deem below you, but they're your class; the working class. The only thing you'll accomplish in this life is propagating the gap between your boss' gold encrusted meaty dick and your contemporaries.

But hey, at least your successful. At least you've got it made. You're a made man.

Nah dude, I get to retire one day if I keep investing well.

My hope is one day I can wake up old and know that I can do anything I want and not have to worry about finding work because I've saved enough to retire comfortably. I want to be one of those cool grandpas who can chill with the family and enjoy the fruits of his life.

Software Developers make at least 30/hr with benefits around 3-4 years after graduating in Vancouver.

By the time you reaching retirement age, the retirement age will be 70. Enjoy the last 4 or so years of freedom before you kick the bucket.

>Vincent Van Gogh
not the best example desu

the future existential crisis is strong with this one


yer a wage slave, bruh. can never uproot, even if things start to go sour. "stability" is a bullshit reason. stability for what, exactly? to stay rooted in one place the rest of your life? nigga please.

Why do people find her attractive? She has a pudgy neck

Have you not seen her gorgeous body of work?

good post

Since you're at a coop you already have experience. I assume the two semesters is for your BS. I would say do it, although don't limit yourself to the company you're doing to coop with unless you already signed something promising you work there. Start looking for other potential jobs over the summer and see what offers you get. There's a shit load of work out there, and all you really need to do is nail the interview since you already have some entry level experience.

Also don't limit yourself to jobs you think you are strictly qualified for. When I started at geico I had zero experience doing what they needed me to do. All my college work was as an undergraduate researcher doing parallel bioinformatics computing. I had one internship at the Argonne National Laboratory for a summer. Having published work as an undergrad really gave me an edge.

When I started here they threw me 80k a year, paid 5k for me to relocate and gave me a 10k signing bonus with full benefits. I've gotten a yearly raise since, over 6 figures now, and I get annual profit sharing checks based on how much money I've made, last year it was 9k. The checks are so nice the day we get them no one works and we all order food and drinks and have a party in the office. With the experience I have from them I could go apply to a lead dev position somewhere else and easily go over 200k a year in cali / washington.

I'm renting a house right now with a friend. Uprooting is the easiest thing in the world since I have experience on my resume.

Lets not pretend I'm putting down roots here. I can easily pull a comfy job on the coasts in a few years. Why is it supposed to be preferable to be stuck in retail right now? What do you want me to do with my life man?

Nah, he is actually one of the best ones. He was struggling with feeling worthless his whole life and was constantly pressured by his family to find a "real" job but he felt that he wasn't lazy, the stuff he was doing simply wasn't of him, which obviously changed when he embraced art.

Okay I will admit that I've read only his earlier letters to his brother but i can imagine that with purpose in his life all the later struggles didn't hurt as much.

no, he's a shitty example because the list is of financially successful people. van gogh died poor and alone
