We only learned visual basic and a little bit of javascript. Obviously it's my own fault I didn't pursue more education or learn more on my own. I started bottom rung at $11 with no benefits. I could have started in the same spot without the degree.

I can imagine those jobs are hard to come by too

I have a B.A. in English, got a pretty decent job though. Your degree is what you make of it.

>>11285693
What's your job

>>11285709
Marketing. I do graphic design for an advertising agency. I also occasionally do sales, which comes with commission.

>>11285727
>B.A. in English
>Marketing

Then you made nothing out of your degree. Don't meme at me.

>>11285368
Why the fuck did you get that degree? What even is it? Furthermore why didn't you get a job that actually uses it?

>>11285763
Well, I am actually planning to go back to school to become a librarian. It's a comfy well-paying job. If you have a B.A. in Interactive Media, then why don't you do some graphic design yourself? I started out doing what I do as a hobby, and then progressed into the position I'm in now. But my degree made all the difference in the hiring process.

Get your shit together anon. Companies are falling over themselves to hire programmers and they're paying absurd amounts of money for Javascript code monkeys. You're missing out on one of the biggest wagie goldrushes of all time.

B.A in "Media Professional Studies". The course doesnt even exist anymore, its now called Media Production. I was such a fucking bluepilled normie back then and the degree was absolutely useless in getting me any work. After I graduated I remember applying to hundreds of jobs and the closest I got was the interview stage of a 2 week unpaid internship. Kek. I even did some retarded "World of Work" programme that was shilled to us by our lecturer after I finished uni, and that was also completely useless. But I was a fucking retard for just taking it for granted that a degree would get me a job, and I had no guidance from my naive parents. It's sad they still have a photo of me in my graduation cap & gown in their house, like my degree actually had any value or did anything other than put me thousands of pounds in debt.

>B.A. in Interactive Media
did you study video games as a humanities subject?

Philosophy
Literally doesn't mean shit, ''''soft skills'''' are the only thing that matter. What that means is be half competent and not the kind of person that posts on japanese picture boards

Im getting one in Digital Forensics, dont know If it will do anything but I just wanted a piece of paper.

How fucked am I?

>>11285842
how did you get people to pay you $40/h for vba? Very good at it myself.

>>11286531
Depends on how much debt you put yourself in, how employable you are generally and if you've got connections with or without university that can put you anywhere decent.

I have a BA in Economics I need a job pls help can someone give me a job thx

>>11286576
Im going to have no debt and im probably employable, ive held a job for 5 years atleast. I have 0 connections though

They are all worthless except medschool. Companies dont even want degrees anymore because degree only means you are good at doing mindless boring tasks on time like a good cuck

my mom said if i didn't go to college, i wouldn't get my share of her inheritance when she dies. so I got a BA in liberal arts and work as a porter at a GMC dealership. present sucks but the future is looking good.

This. I have a MA in International Relations, my goal was always to work for the department of state I took the FSOT twice and both times aced every test but then I had to sit with the HR normies and they instantly smelled my autism and turned me down..

Bachelors in architecture
The education i got in it is really good and it's an interesting field but its completely useless in the real life job market.
The only way i can see myself working in the field is if i specialize in a niche like parametric modeling or getting extremely lucky

I'll be finished in 6months and my future looks bleak.
I'm going to do a masters in building management so i have more options

Are turks just turbo-pajeeets? Will be working with a female one at the office soon.

You're absolutely wrong. Architects are needed in homebuilding/home improvement industry (if you are willing to relocate). There is always a city that needs people to build custom homes, or hire an architect to remodel. These guys get paid big money.

My 42 y/o uncle is a general contractor that works on custom homes, and makes seven figures. He's been working in home construction since 16 though, but he was already making six figures in his 20s.

Dude is rich as fuck. All he does nowadays is paperwork, talking to clients, and architectural drafting. He has supervisors on all his construction sites and only checks on them like once a week to make sure things are going according to schedule.

You might think that you need a lot of money to do this, but the truth is you're just a middleman to your employees and other subcontractors. You act as an architect/designer/builder depending on the job, and pass along checks from the homeowner to your employees, and subcontractors.

It's the easiest money in the world, because people in construction are really bad with finance, regulations, and generally don't have good presentation and people skills.

I'm finishing up my Civil Engineering degree and will be working with my uncle full time when I graduate. Won't have to lift a board, and will be making six figures, although I'll have to be putting in 60+ hours a week.

BA in Philosophy

Work as an accountant now. Like >>11287038 said, it is fucking shit, The most wageslave Fresco cuck job you could ever imagine. I want to die every day - the degree just helps putting me deeper into an existential pit of despair than if I went in as an NPC.

BS Biochem was a chemist, now working starter position in finance

Sociology and German.

I got a decent job as a copy editor and now work as QA analyst for software after transferring within my company making $25 an hour. Not great, but your degree doesn't have to fuck you, it's what you do with it and what other skills you learn along side it. 95% of the people who graduated with me who also majored in philosophy and shit are making more than me. Being poor because you didn't major in STEM is a meme and an excuse.

>>11287476
but you probably wouldn't have been considered without a degree? It's a shitty system that education and career skills are so out of alignment, but a degree is the ticket you need to get jobs that put you in the middle class in the vast majority of fields.

I live in germany but you are right the construction industry is really good in some countries and relocation is an option.
People don't build that many buildings here anymore, its mostly renovations or big building constructions people don't build that many single family houses here.
I'm happy for you that you have a chance to work with your uncle and it sounds like the kind of thing i'd want to do as well but i don't really understand it. Probably because my english isn't the best.

He gets contracts for constructing something and then outsources the job to other companies but still does the drafting and stuff?
Can you explain his business further?

>>11286643

I did a double major, philosophy was one - it does help you think critically. That said, you need to do grad school after. I’m now a teacher, comfy being a teacher in Canada.

>>11288563
How do I get into this as a BS in Econ?

>>11288654
idk, i was chillin out on upwork doing some side stuff as a junior in (online) college. some lawyer was having a crisis and i showed up and helped fix it and she basically put me in charge of her immigration practice. now my two main jobs are:

- i do pic related
- i help a nonprofit on the side for 40/hr getting people early parole hearings who were sentenced under the California three strikes law

im graduating fall next year and i think im gonna go to law school

>>11288695
Never heard of this site. I just graduated in May and right now I'm working a temp job at Bloomberg for like $17 an hour. I took the LSAT last month and got a 167, but I don't think I'm going to apply for schools until 2019-2020 cycle so that I can get some more experience and maybe take it again. Is this a good place to find paralegal type shit? $40/hr is more than double what I'm making now that would be awesome

>>11288547

I also have a BA Statistics. Pretty much your best bet is Data Analyst route. Learn SQL. Work for a company that pays for your M.A. then get that and become a Data Scientist. I'm doing this now

nice, now you can communicate to your counselor the pitiful state your psyche is in.lmao JUST

>>11288777
idk, most people there are insane pro ses or asshole small businesses. i just got lucky having these jobs basically fall into my lap.

also, upwork is a scam and will:
-take 20-10% of your money and a significant percentage of your client's
-make you track hours painstakingly and to the minute, as opposed to the 0.1 hour (6 minute increment) i do with my clients

so i just use it to be invited to jobs by boomers, who i take into a dark alley and convince to do it the old fashioned way and i invoice them directly and never look at upwork again. it's against the tos but the tos is probably illegal anyway so whatever

keep in mind that you actually have to have some idea of what you are doing. i'm lucky because i sued a bunch of people pro se the last couple of years and made $135,000, learned how to read the law and apply it, was an illegal immigrant with no social security number so i got really into immigration law, etc.

B.S. Biology/Physics dual major.
- Never used them out of college.

MBA from Haas - Never used but did go to the networking events. It's more about working at a firm than being a manger...

Got lucky in crypto and not working currently. I will eventually need to make more though. I'm about 670,000$ after paying huge taxes, so obviously won't last forever unless I'm stupid frugal. Also got a house valued 230k$, and no debt.

Yeye call me a cuck but how I was making money was surreal. I'm from WA so living in a cheap area in a small 2bd house. My college was free expect bio degree because military benefits. I did bio before the Army. I really don't want to become a wagecuck... disliked the military enough, couldn't imagine being treated like dogshit by a civilian.

Degree isn't my problem really, though it would be nice if it was worth more. Real problem is nobody in their right mind would promote me based on any interview ever.

>>11288876
Start a business and treat other people like shit instead

>>11288838

Ah okay, so it's not exactly a resources for entry-level type stuff. Seems like a good place to make some beer money though.

First degree was in econ but couldn't find a job and ended up working construction. Then I went back to school for nursing and work in a drug rehab making $30/hour and as a charge nurse in a nursing home making $31.

>16hrs a day
>5 days a week
Shit sucks but I live in a very cheap part of the country were you can live off of $20/hour easily so I'm saving a lot of money.

>>11288876
Why not invest in renting out apartments to hipsters in WA? They'll happily buy shitboxes near negro infested areas and even make the place nicer for you off of their meager barista wages.

Pursuing a PhD in microbio. Realizing that financially this is a shit idea (even if I get a $30k a year stipend + tuition waver) since after all the effort I put in, I'll still only probably make ~$80k a year

>>11288977
That's insane, how are you not burnt out? You must have a very strong goal for the future to stick by that routine.

>>11288938
it really depends! to be honest, i think you can bullshit your way into understanding and doing any job if you have the basic skillset and intelligence to be able to improve on yourself and some basic charisma, sense of humor, etc. there are the occasional windfalls, but you can really get a decent income off that kind of work once you find a few people who are confident in you to get things done.

I was repulsed in the process of making a business. Figured I could find someone with the same vision, but all MBAs seem to want is money. Most of them don't even want to be an executive manager, they just want to work in private equity. The few MBAs that did want management were already so connected that they were being groomed by their wealthy family to take on the family business. I could probably walk on as a store manager with easy access to district/regional but they're wagies that just get paid a lot, and work well over 40hr/week.

>majored in accounting
>minor in CS
>had a few interviews for after grad, no job offers yet
Am I a meme?

I have an associates' degree in Culinary Arts and work at a dogshit nursing home in the kitchen. The job sucks but they pay me well, and I invest a shit-ton of my wages instead of wasting it on unimportant bullshit. In five years I should have a good amount of capital invested.

Thinking of starting a side business, but not interested in a restaurant or cafe or anything like that. Too much stress. Something to think about for the future.

>>11289002
Well the rehab job is pretty easy, I just hand out medications, guide little discussion groups and fill out documentation. The nursing home gig I mainly do woundcare, there's an 2 LPN doing all the meds and 3 CNAs doing all the cleaning. It's nights so I don't have to worry about anyone going to appointments or coming back and I don't deal with any mealtime bullshit.

11pm-7am nursing home
8pm-4pm rehab
5pm-10 sleep

Also I sleep for like 4 hours at the nursing home because between 1-5am there's fuck all to do other than give out pain meds and hope that someone doesn't die.

>>11289010

>>11289038
I assume you're talking about applying for top b-schools? I had 3.2 GPA for biology but I did Physics after the Army and had a 4.0 GPA which shows I was more serious about school. Bio/phys were 7 years apart. Studied my ass off and got a 760 GMAT. Glorified my Army experience as leadership experience and working in a high stress environment. (Spent a year in Afghanistan). Also, I'm another statistic as a student veteran which looks good for the school. I had two rec letters. One from my physics prof, and one from a good friend in the army. I also got accepted at Wharton, but not at hbs or sloan.

>>11289056
I was going to try an engineering degree but I only had enough credits to finish Physics in one academic year since they had a biophysics route and so I was already half way done with just my bio degree.

It seems like in most stem majors besides CS you really need to get yourself into grad school. Technicians get paid pretty well nowadays. It's kind of like how RNs/PAs get compensated well without becoming an doctor.

>>11289035
wew, that's gotta mess with your circadian rhythm. I couldn't do that personally. Are you planning on NEETing it for a few years after you save or something

>>11289051
Fair enough. If I were you I'd just grab a wagie job to live off of (or use as the payment for the mortgage) while using the savings to put partially down on some apartments; the risk is worth it to me and a friend of mine has been doing well in this particular area but I am not you and do not fully understand your situation so good luck either way on your plans.

>>11289111

you nailed it on the head. there is a huge circlejerk surrounding 'engineering' degrees presently and more and more people are being led to believe that it is a failsafe, of sorts. truth is: you either end up with a bland, generic engineering job where the pay is shit (and you could have likely applied with a similar, yet easier degree like architecture or surveying), or you do another 2 years and $xxxx.xx in order to secure more prestigious employment via a masters program.

engineering degrees are the new english degrees.

>>11289151
They have become the ultimate meme here in Canada. High immigration + "guaranteed job" student oversaturation + collapse in oil prices + offshoring manufacturing = unemployed engineers

>>11289075
You were also a brown female lesbian illegal immigrant, 760 is obviously good and I'm not knocking it but the system is set up to pipeline people like you to success.

>>11289189
I'm white and Male. Anyways, I was implying that being a "student veteran" was my version of brown female lesbian immigrant, which I believe had a big role in separating me from the other white male applicants. My class was majority white and Male but they all came from money or had some huge feat in life that made them unique.

>>11286725
Same here. I have a very interesting job but I feel for you, it is tough. Arts gives you excellent analytical and written skills but there is a lot of pressure on you to add additional skills in order to get into the right area. Internships, languages and networking are a must.

>>11290011
Yeah, policy analyst, policy advisor. If you're in the US there's a lot attached to the empire in terms of intel. A language is very helpful in this area. Also IR grads are very sought after in the private sector too as we can bring a new and unique lens.

Remember you want to show your value-add. You need to be able to quickly understand and comprehend material and come to more than one 'truth' or conclusion. Important to be able to think outside of the box, to question everything, to deconstruct opposing arguments. Along with writing these should be your core skills and you need to show that you can do this.

Public speaking is also a very nice skill to have. Remember that it's very difficult to be in the top 1% but if you can be in the top 10% with two or three skills (eg. analytical thinking, language, public speaking) then you can find a niche and excel.

How?

>>11290078
You're probably right, i forget im on 4chan sometimes.

Currently in college
19, wanna major in Comp Sci and minor in something business so I can go into the game development industry and hopefully get a job as a producer.
I'm trying to start a dev team right now though, hopefully I can get some solid guys together and we can do something on our own, but if not I'll just continue with school.

I think this is a solid plan, but I keep thinking about going into medicine.
My Dad's fine with comp sci since that's the field he's in, but every time we talk he brings up how he wants me to go into medicine.
Being a doctor or something seems a lot more secure, but it's not really my thing.

Lads, I got an AS in IT which I completed online. Going to go to college next year for the first time and I am still not quite sure what to major in. My family is the healthcare business so I figure I will major in Healthcare administration and go then get an MBA in Finance. Does this seem like a good idea ? I don't want to be a NEET forever it's a doomed existence.

bsc general chemistry.

Do a masters or you will end up as QC lab ratting it up for $1 above minimum wage if you can find a job in the first place. I hope you have 3 years experience for that entry level beginners job.

Took me 2 years to find my first job.

Be a doctor if you are actually interested. Otherwise it's going to be hell for many years just to get to a job you hate.

Getting MA in IR as well. Marketing is a good way to use this kind of degree in Business and its what I’ll be going for. Being a rep for international companies in marketing or sales pays well. Just make sure you start looking up the language of what country you are interested in (you did learn another language, right anon?) If any major company wants to expand to another country/make deals with foreign companies, they need someone to help bridge the gap. More positions than you would think. Granted I’ve been in marketing so i’m biased

>>11289467
Nah anon I do this and it’s comfy as fuck I make a shitty wage but that’s what side hustles are for. I sit in my office browsing the chon and reading E-books for 6-7 hours a day and occasionally will have to restart someone’s computer or reset a password. Plenty of healthcare places need IT stuff and since boomer doctors are retarded they think you’re a genius because you can refresh a webpage and setup a work station. I’m the only IT staff (besides the outsourcing company who handles the servers and network Kek) for like 90 employees so whatever my next job is I look like I have a shit ton of responsibility by managing 5 sites when in reality I sit around shit posting, reading about crypto and other fun stuff all day. Down side is I don’t learn that many hard skills but if you have some social skills you can usually blow autists out of the water in interviews.

Doing business and management degree atm, how fucked am I?

The Average uni grad doesnt make that much even in high paying majors dont fall for the meme

I mean I'm kinda interested in being a doctor.
I like the idea of helping people, but my other passion is making games and those are two weird directions that don't line up whatsoever.
But if I do choose med school I think I could always keep developing on the side as a hobby.

If something isn't your thing, you absolutely should not do it just for the prestige or money, you'll hate your life. Find something you enjoy or tolerate that also makes you decent money.

This is one of those fields where your portfolio matters more than your degree more often than not. There's two different kinds of people who graduate from Comp Sci: bottom rung that just pass their classes with mostly Cs and Bs and don't do any extra work, and the top rung that ace all their classes merely because they spend every waking moment of their lives programming and building their portfolio so it comes second nature to them, they usually get hired before they finish their senior year and end up slacking off at the end because it doesn't matter anymore.

Just a heads up, if you go down the path of being a doctor, make sure to find a more personal reason than to help people. If you are participating positively in society you are helping people. The garbage men help people. Tax advisors help people. It comes off as a bit naive to say you want to be a doctor to help people when talking to the interviewer. Not trying to rip on you, just giving you a bit of advice that you can use for future interviews. Also don't use a dead relative as your motivation to be a doctor unless you really mean it. Sob stories don't get brownie points. Everyone has lost someone in life. That said, if you are really interested, you can start by shadowing a doctor, and seeing what a day to day in the workplace is like. And you should also talk with your college advisor and get a pre-health/pre-med track so your degree plan will start including the prerequisite classes that you need in order to apply to med school. It's a long path, and has a lot of grind, but if you really want it, you can get it.

What do you make?

>>11297140
They make 6 figs easy, but the big 4 literally siphon your soul away, then there is the overtime on top of that.

>>11287038
i want to do big 4 too, which one r u in

I have the most useless BA: Bachelor of Music.
Prove me wrong.

>>11297338
Music at least teaches you a skill, which is more than what some liberal arts degrees do (gender studies).

>>11288892
Why tho

>>11289020
That sounds like a good combination to have. Just apply harder.

Your options are:

All of which are decent careers.
