I'm a bartender. The money is shit, the people are shit and the work is shit. I'm trying to figure out what to do with my life, but I've been stuck for so many years. I tried going to college, but switched majors like 4 times, failed my classes, and then ended up dropping out.
Thought about getting into IT again. But I don't know if it will work out.

I guess I could easily find another job at a better restaurant if I wanted to. I just really don't though. I've been in this industry way too long and I want to go into something better. I've thought about going for the #learn2code/self study IT meme. I just hoe this all works out and I can just land a job at a decent company.

Is coding really a meme?


I'm a finance major and I'm constantly depressed. I hate my major so much. I can't see myself doing this shit. I've been in and out of school for about 6 years now and nowhere near being done. I thought about just dropping out and learning how to do web dev. I hope this works out for me. I've switched majors like 3 times already. The only job I've had is as a waiter. I don't want to work as a waiter anymore, so I really hope this shit works out for me.

Is having a shit degree better than having no degree?


I'm a finance major, but since I'm not good at finance, I've thought about switching to business admin, so that I can finish faster. Am I making a mistake?

I've thought going into business admin. Am I fucking myself up? Like what jobs can I get with that degree?

I'll take captain and coke please.

I just feel like I'm wasting time in college. I've failed/ dropped a few classes and I just feel like I will never graduate. I'm already behind, so it make me feel even worse. I'm a part time bartender and I fucking hate it. I want to gtfo of this shit job. I don't know what I would do if I leave though. I have thought about getting an office job, and also thought about getting an IT cert. A part of me thinks that I'm only doing this because I just want to leave my current shit job. I'm not tech savvy and I've never worked in an office setting before, so idk if I'll even enjoy it. I'm 26 and I'm always tired of doing the same shit. I'm getting too old to be working at my current job.

Everyone I know is starting their new careers, getting married, having kids, buying homes and going on vacation and I'm just here depressed and lost in life.

2012-2017: Waiter and make $2.15/hr but make $70-$120 in tips

2018: Bar tender make $4.50/hr but make $200+ in tips


I fucking hate this place, but since its really the only job I've had, I feel like I will be stuck here forever. I did go to school for finance, but I hated it so I dropped out.

I've been working the same shit bar tending job for the past 6 years and I just feel like I will be here forever. I went to school for accounting, but I dropped out because I hated it. I've thought about just going back and getting a degree in business admin. I know its not that great, but at least I'll have a better chance in getting my foot in the door, right. Man I want to leave this job so badly. Everyday I go into work I feel like I am trapped here for life. I feel like I'm too dumb to leave and get a real job. I'm also kind scared to leave this place because even though it sucks, this place is easy as shit and my coworkers all like me. I feel like if I get a real job, I'll fuck up and no one will like me and then I'll have to go back to bar tending.
How do I just stop being afraid of failure?

Not NEET, but

I'm just getting tired of this life. I'm 26 and I'm still in school. I've dropped/failed a few classes, so I'm really behind in school. I don't even like school or my major (finance/accounting). I'm also working a shit job that's filled with a bunch of druggy high school kids. For the past 10 years, I've only worked at shitty minimum wage jobs. I'm scared that these jobs are the only jobs I'll be ever good at. I just feel stuck in life. Also the loneliness is getting to me. A lot of the people I went to high school with are getting married and having kids and I'm just sitting here like a sad fuck.

How did you guys find out what you wanted to do with your life?

I just feel like I will never get out of my retail job. I feel like I will be stuck working with these annoying ass high school kids forever. I have been at this job for about 7 years now and fucking hell its really killing me. I'm in college but I don't know if I can continue with my studies. I've changed majors and dropped out of college multiple times. I'm considered a junior and I know I'm almost done, but I just don't think I can continue on with my accounting degree.

I applied for a plain office admin/receptionist job. I'm just hoping that I will get it and actually enjoy it.

I'm 23 and I fucking hate my life. Been working at this restaurant for 6 yrs. now and I want to leave. All my coworkers are high school and college drop outs. I am also a college drop out. I dropped out because I hated my major and I felt like I was just wasting my time there. I was constantly depressed and I just wanted to die. I've been trying to get another job, but no one wants to hire a college drop out who's only worked at shitty jobs. I can't even get a simple desk job that only requires a high school diploma.

I've changed majors like 3 times now and I'm still unhappy. I’ve been told to go into trade, but it’s not something I can see myself going into. Also, I’m not very fit physically or mentally, so I can’t go into the military. I thought about getting an IT cert, but that’s not really going to well for me. A lot of my coworkers are fine with working at the restaurant, and just pretending everything is fine, but I'm not. I want to leave, but I just can’t find out how.

I have thought about going back to community college and retaking some classes, but at the same time I just feel like I will still be wasting my time there.

/Biz/ I need your advice.

I want to invest more money into crypto, but I am only doing chump change. I have job (kek) which I should then save up money to put into crypto.

However, I've considered the option of taking out a loan from my 401k. I want to take out about 3 grand. Now, if I take a loan out of my 401k, I have to pay it back to ME with 5 % interest.

I want to know whats your opinion on 401ks?
What advice would you give me in the circumstance here?

I really want to risk it, and go balls deep into crypto currencies. Still trying to figure out if I should put it all on one coin or diversify.

Thanks /biz/ I wish you to the moon, and more!

dae remember when /biz/ was about something else than crypto?

Op here.
I've been working in the retail business for 4 years now and I'm finally ready to get out. I did go to college for accounting, but I dropped out because I wasn't doing very well in my classes. I went to Community college and then transferred to a good 4 yrs school, but couldn't handle it, so I left.

I'm thinking of going and getting a job at a hospital and work there for a year or so. I think I will then try and use their tuition reimbursement plan and go back to school to get a cert in something once I'm ready for school.

Is this a good plan?

I've been working in a restaurant for a few years now and its finally getting to me. I make great tips, but fucking hell I just can't stand my coworkers anymore. They have all been there longer than I have and and I think they are all slowly going crazy.

I've been looking for a new job and I have found some for a receptionist position. The pay is slightly lower than what I make at the restaurant though.
I do feel like working at the hospitals/office will make my resume look better though. All I have is some college experience and a few years of restaurant experience, so I'm just wondering if I should just quit the restaurant that pays more and work somewhere else that pays less, that "MIGHT" help me in the future?

I mean does a receptionist sound/look more pleasing than a server?

What do you guys do? I'm 23 and I'm studying accounting and I'm really starting to hating it. I only picked it because I know its a pretty safe job and it pay pretty good. I guess I still have time to change my major, but I'm not 100% sure on what. As of now I work at a restaurant and I make good tips, but I want to get out asap because more high school kids are coming in and I can't deal with their shit anymore.

Started off as a marketing major then switched to accounting because I realized that I would have more options in that field. I started off liking accounting, but now I fucking hate it. I kinda just want to switch to business admin, but I'm scared I won't be able to find any good jobs after I'm done with school.

>sophomore in college.
>majoring in accounting
>only job I've had was at a restaurant

I've been working at the restaurant for 4 years now and I'm not even sure if theres any point of putting on my resume. How do I make being a server more appealing?

Did you guy change your majors while you were in college? I am still a sophomore in college and I'm about to transfer to a 4 year school. I started out as a marketing major (lol), but now I feel like I should just go with accounting. Is it too late for me to switch?

What's your major /biz/?
I am thinking of going into marketing, but I am not sure if that the best choice to make.

How did you guy know what to major in? Do any of you guy regret picking your major? I feel like my major is useless (it's marketing lol). As I get on fb and see what my classmates are majoring in I see that most of them are in tech/med fields and others are liberal art, mgmt, history type shit.

When I start school again I'm going to talk to my counselor and professors and see if I should stick to the major.
