im a shmuck trying to get into C.S, not sure if its a good idea but I worked the trades and I don't think 80 hour weeks breaking my ass would benefit me in the long long run.

I am a project manager for a general contractor. We contract with the City and local water utility / river authorities to build waterworks improvement projects like water/wastewater treatment plants, storm water pump stations, lock and dam, etc. I make six figures. Construction is comfy as fuck as top dog on big projects like these.

>>13788702
I teach Esl in Abroad. It is easy work people are nice to me and the food is delicious.
In my spare time I learn new skills and work out. Pretty good desu.

CS is a bubble

I'm a mouth breathing salesman that bets on shitcoins looking for a way out that doesn't involve a helium bag

>>13788702
I'm a Sales Engineer for a Fortune 200 company.

>>13788702
careers are a meme
with the increase in salary comes an increase in time and debt required

i'm 22 with a successful e-commerce business (have been featured on a few magazines, making decent money). i've put pretty much all of the money i've made in the past 3 years into crypto.

>Firefighter and Paramedic who works on the ambulance most days, do overtime shifts as an engineer and drive a ladder or engine.

Going back to school to get more certs. Want to do international transport and specialized transport on aircraft. Also teach at a university on the side for investing money.

Life is good but I dont have work/life balance down. I go 6 months of working every day and traveling around the country and world for classes and to teach and burn out and take 2 months off to recover.

I need to work on that. This isnt a career field that is kind to your body and mind. I'm 12 years in and want out by year 20 at the latest. Although money and bennies are actually great.

>>13788787
Actually I'm wrong, I thought it broke 200 this year on the new list that just came out. Fortune 250 then.

>>13788791
Not really, when I worked 40 hours a week delivering pizza I was busy 80% of the time. Now I really only do work for about 8 hours collectively on a given week, I spend the rest of the time reading and shitposting.

>>13788747
Bubble isn't popping soon enough for it to matter for that guy.

>>13788702
I make enough to live on and have a glimmer of hope, but I'm "low skilled" and will have to get some shitfuck degree at some point to keep up with inflation and shareholder demand.

>>13788726
your body gets absolutely fucked after about 4 years of that. I did expoxy/polyurithane and my knees are ruined for life

>>13788829
time and debt required to get the degree/certs which is going backwards vs going forwards

>>13788738
Do you have your pmp? I'm a PM as well and I have my gig. Wondering if I just hate the tech sector or PM as a whole

I'm in the military
Shit is NOT cash

>>13788829
yes they are you have to apply to hundreds of jobs as a new grad if you dont go to a top tier school and im assuming that this anon goes to a mid-tier school or a coding bootcamp. if you are self-taught then forget about it

>>13788876
in my market there is rarely a job that doesn't require 10+ years of experience for a technology that has been out for 5 years

out of the ones left there are hundreds of new grads applying

then you have all the linkedin connected fags and social butterflies who run life on ez mode

>>13788702
I do CI/CD DevOps for IBM.

Software dev. Solid money and comfy as fuck. I get a little bored with it though so I have side endeavors like landlording that accelerate my cash flow.

>>13788876
I know a nigger who got a supposed developer job at ADP i think(?) by showing them some random derivative browser game he made.

>>13788702
Six figure tech startup anon here. Have been through phases of appreciation or lack thereof for my job. Currently very happy, designing a new product. Have reasonable equity and hoping this new product gets the company valuation above $100MM. Still hope I make a few mil from crypto so I have additional options.

>>13788864
That's not that much time though, any non-brainlet should be able to finish a degree at a solid state school in 2-3 years and only pay at max 30k.

The discrepancy in how much you can make without a degree vs with a degree is staggering, I made 120k at my first job out of school vs 40k which was the most I ever made at my highest paying job before getting a degree. Also you can work while attending school.

>>13788876
Anyone who needs to apply to 100+ jobs isn't going about finding and applying to said jobs in an intelligent way. I work with some pure autismos too, even they know you need to reach out to people on LinkedIn for referrals

>>13788899
Connections on LinkedIn are meaningless, you can contact people whether you're friends or not.

>>13788829
>Now I really only do work for about 8 hours collectively on a given week, I spend the rest of the time reading and shitposting.
You work a 'bullshit job'. Look it up.

I have a company for Cloud consulting and DevOps

>>13788738

How did you get into that position and what area are you located in?

>>13788702
I'm a dirty nocoiner NEET. I have missed the boat on everything in live and I'm going to kill myself eventually. just here for the memes fren

I work a mediocre job and am all in on LINK. Everything I've done in life has blown up in my face or I have failed in. I get back up again but it doesn't get easier, LINK will likely just wind up yet another failure like everything else but I'm still not selling.

I even have oldfags dunking on me for getting in late, whatever. fuck it

>>13788829
Bubble isn't popping? San Fran is having massive layoffs, and all these "tech" companies that burn 2 billion usd/year are IPOing. This is peak bubble right here; majoring in CS is going to get your rekt if you're not in the top 10% of coders. Look at every other developed country in the world; being a programmer in those countries is just another wagie job that pays the same as any other type of analyst. There is no reason for the US to be different.

>>13789018
as i understand it you aren't NEETing right if you don't have shekels left over to put into moonshots. maybe try getting a job and see if having even the slightest bit of purpose or responsibility improves your state of mind.

>>13789063
You just need to diversify nigga. Might as well stick with this play though

>>13788974
Not really, when I am needed the amount that I contribute to my companies ACV is massive. Other people with my title in the same company can actually work well over 40 hours, I'm just lucky because I have specialized knowledge of a very particular product that only comes up on a few deals a year but the amount the license cost is so high that it justifies having sales engineers that are specifically versed in just this one product.

>>13789071
Once again, the bubble isn't popping soon enough for it to matter for this guy. I never said the bubble isn't popping. People said there was a CS bubble 5 years ago and guess what? The kids who graduated with CS degrees 5 years ago and got jobs are millionaires.

I’m a cop in a large metro area of the country. Job is ok. Good pay and greater benefits, fun and interesting most of the time. I’m in my late 20s with a 200k+ stack of Link so I’m just hoping it lets me retire early. If it doesn’t I’d probably only like to stick around for another 10-15 before going another path, maybe open up a business. Shit that Link stack is worth enough to already get me a jump on that but I like what I do while I’m young so I’m just riding it out. No wife or kids either (hopefully someday) so options are open for what happens if Link truly moons

>>13789110
Yea I just didn't really have that much money and only recently started researching LINK. Waited for the dip today and got a nice 8K stack I'm comfortable with, I'll be diversifying into BTC as I get my spare wagie bucks from here on out. The way I see it LINK has the highest probability for success if I hold on a long enough time frame so I'm going to consider my linkies non existent for now and maybe partake in the shitposting.

Live life a little too, work on a good career track (again).

Warehouse wagie. Hate life pretty much. Make 15 an hour. Yeah I'm one of the ones with a shitty job. I have no idea where my life is headed. 12k LINK is all I have going for me, and like another anon said that will probably fail too like everything else in my life. The only saving grace is that it isn't fast food.

>>13789071
What degree would you recommend a zoomer NEET to pursue? I can pretty much do any subject and am willing to go /monk/ mode and only study, sleep, lift.

I was originally thinking about CS but after researching about it for the past month and reading the posts here I'm not sure what to choose. Math maybe? Economics? Does a math major and econ minor sound good? Join the Canadian Armed Forces and do a trade? Btw the Canadian Armed Forces trade thing probably wouldn't be preferable since it's pretty hard to get into the CAF and even harer to get into a specific trade. I'd most likely just be a grunt making peanuts.

>>13788702
I write software in the defense industry. It makes good money. I would rather have a farm though. I intend to have one in the future.

>>13789158
Sup government worker bro.

Hows your pension?

My state has one of if not the healthiest pension and we run it, state facilitates it. I'm optimistic itll be there when I collect at age 53.

If I get another 5 years in I'll be out at age 35 and collect $3000 a month (adjusted at retirement and adjusted every 2 years) at age 53. Should be nice "fuck you" cash.

>>13789163
Hey you're basically in my same boat except with a bigger LINK stack nice brofessor. I hope we make it, I work in a warehouse but I do repair work at only 16.5

>>13788702
datamining thread? datamining thread.

infosec guy in latin america. was poor af some months ago, life is OK now. well paid compared to a big % of the population, not so much compared to what I could be making in murica with my skills.

>career
I dropped out of uni because of shitty grades, depression and illness. barely even made it to 3rd semester... so I don't even have a degree.

>>13789165
I majored in Math, the people telling you not to do CS are completely off-base. 80% of jobs you can get with a Math degree are CS jobs anyway and economics has a huge computational component to it at many modern jobs.

Also people on this board are retardedly beholden to the idea that your major locks you into a specific type of job, I work with CS graduates where their first job out of college was as consultants, traders, and investment bankers.

Also know people who got CS degrees and completed enough of the requirements to apply for med school programs when they graduated.

The reason people on this board fail is because they're borderline(and sometimes just full on) autistic.

>>13789259
oh,and regarding your questions:
>Do you wish you had a better job?
>What do you wish it would be?
I wish I was professional pilot. that was my dream as a kid.though I do love my job, tbhfam


>Also, what do you plan on doing once you make it?
I hope I can help other people have better lifes. I want to start a company offering something that can improve the lives of people in general, but specially those of the poor and the working class.

>>13789254
Nice fren. Repairs sounds fun. I run one of the shipping departments. It's okay, better than the manufacturing side of things at least. I'm actually hoping for a raise this week so we'll see how that goes...

>>13789259
Almost in the same boat as you. But if I ever get some mad gainz I'm going back to school, I loved that shit, I wish I could finish.

>>13788857
Knee pads? Lose weight? I know a 60 year old tiler who is in great shape and has no health issues. He also wears the appropiate gear and does things properly and safely.

>>13789241
Sup fren. I’m quite the opposite. Without saying which one exactly, though you’ll probably figure it out, my state is in pure pension turmoil. One of the worst states in terms of liquidity amongst cities, counties, and the state itself. I started about 4 years ago and my entity went from level 1 to level 2 about 4-5 before I got on, which in turn means anyone hired at my work goes from a full pension at 30 years to working til you’re in your mid 60’s (regardless of time on the job) it’s absolutely kiked and probably the worst part of this job and one of the worst parts of this state. The boomers completely took advantage of the system and leveraged the fuck out of it and are making the younger gens pay through ridiculous pension changes and increased taxes everywhere. Hence why I’ll only be able to stomach this for another decade or so. I’m about 50/50 confident they’ll still have money for me if I go the distance, but I’m not giving them 40+ years for a chance at 80% of my pay. I pray daily for crypto to pull me out of potentially falling into the neverending spiral

>>13789267
Would you recommend CS over math? I heard they're quite similar only that math has a bit of an edge with the theoretic stuff. So far I'm thinking
>Math major + econ minor
>CS major + econ minor
>Just Econ major
>Just Math or CS major
or
>Econ major and CS minor

Which would you recommend for getting a high paying career?

>>13789259
We don't need you here depressing wages

>>13789350
CS alone or CS/Applied Math double major

>>13789361
So no need for the economics knowledge?

>>13789165
If you want math and economics, with no life studying go the actuarial route. Jobs are pretty comfy office gigs and the pay is really good; but you have to be good at studying.

Geranlly sort of professional field with licensing is good; i.e doctor, appraiser, actuary, lawyer, etc. Sales is good and will always be good, but you need to have a good personality for it (which, being a NEET, is highly unlikely)

Don't get me wrong, tech is great and will continue to be great, but you need to be top 10, or ideally top 1% to really make it. Unlike professional jobs that have licenses as a form of barrier to entry, there are zero such barriers in tech. That poses a problem when you're competing with the whole world.

>>13788702
Software engineer. Bored as fuck with my job. Being on call is shit - you have to wake up in the middle of the night the fix shit. If I can do this for 2 more years I'll be in a pretty good place financially but I feel like I'm wasting my life for no real reason.

>>13789318
I'm pretty good buddies with the shipping guys at our warehouse I am jelly though they get to browse the internet for half the day. I asked for a raise and they tried bullshitting me despite piling on the responsibilities and heading up new projects so I think I'll look elsewhere myself. Repairs are pretty fun at first but get old after a while, good luck my man

>>13789350
>Math major + econ minor - Ideal for Actuary
>CS major + econ minor - Ideal for a career in the growing blockchain space, load up on game theory courses
>Just Econ major - pure dogshit, enjoy working for 40k/year as a credit analyst for your entire life
>Just Math or CS major - never go pure math. Just don't. No no no no. Pure CS is much better.
or
>Econ major and CS minor - Ideal route for quants (have to go into a master program though)

>>13789388
Yeah actuarial science does seem alright. It's not as interesting as pure math but does seem pretty comfy. The hours aren't nearly as bad as bankers, accountants or software engineers

>>13789425
Don't quants need a phd in financial engineering? In that case wouldn't it be better to do math +econ during undergrad?

Elementary teacher. I have some shit coins, stocks and an investment property. Looking to pick up more real estate. Life’s okay.

>>13789369
Useless. That's surely an exaggeration. What I mean to say is most of the relevant financial theory can be self taught. The concepts laid out in a math degree are much difficult to grasp. Econ is a good run of the mill degree but not marketable to the extent math or CS is.

I'm a teacher in a mediocre secondary school. Ended up in this shitty position in life due to very low conscientiousness, and while I've improved, it's still quite bad — an assistant head is going to want to have a talk with me tomorrow because I pretty much never mark the pupils' books. I'd like to move on to a good school but I wonder if I can still use my current management as references given how shittily I've performed. If I can't move on I'd rather become a private tutor, I live with my parents and don't need much money at all.

Graduating medical school on Saturday. Link better stay low until my first paycheck in July.

>>13789332
same. I loved uni, but I wish I had someone warn guide me at uni, and also wish I had been more mature at the time. I come from a poor family, no one ever had stepped into a university. I didn't know what to expect,and it was hard for me...even though I loved abstract math and shit.

>>13789352
>We don't need you here depressing wages
don't worry, I wouldn't touch US soil anyway.

>>13788829
My job is easy, doesn't requires me to talk or even see anybody and I only go in when there is work to be done, otherwise I sit at home. Decent salary for my area.

>>13789388
I looked in acturial sciences. The impression I got reading forums and reddit was that most jobs are concentrated in cities and that it is oversaturated.

>>13789388
Barrier don't matter much when your country (like mine and many others) have a skilled migration scheme which Industry uses when the wages they have to pay get too high.

>>13788702
I have a PhD in Math and a starting salary of over $300k. This is my first year working too btw.

>>13789459
public or private? how long? and are you serving out kikepills?

>>13789498
Econ is a safe career diversity hedge. You can work in a lot of different industries and hop around if you start to get bored, it doesn't pigeon hole you into pure data work in the same way math does.

>>13789445
Yes, quant work is heavy on CS, Math, and Econ. But you can get away with a masters so long as you get into an ivy.

>>13788857
Literally kneepads

Oh I forgot to say what I was gonna do if I make it. I'm unironically going to work for the rest of my life still. The difference being that I'll be able to take my time and study whatever the fuck I feel like and quit at a moment's notice. Also the ability to work any job I want without worrying about not having money to pay bills or do fun shit.

warehouse job making 18.35 an hour

pretty easy and some fat pay for what i do, but most warehouses dont pay as much as mine. they are usually anywhere from 13 to 16 an hour

not the most glamorous pay in the world, but its pretty damn good for the midwest

>>13789342
You guys gotta hit 30? We are vested at 5 years (you get something) its 2% of highest pay for every year of service.

based spic. assuming you aren't from Venezuela, am i hot or cold when i say Costa Rica?

>>13789518
Entry level is saturated, just like every other industry. There's simply too many people graduating and not enough jobs in ANY industry. Same thing for any major, in any industry. If you look on computer science job boards, you'll find the same issue.

The exams act as a filter though; by the time you get credentialed your pool of competition has narrowed significantly and you have plenty of opportunity to succeed.

>>13789562
in addition, if i make it im probably just going to invest all my gains into passive income and continue to work and reinvest that income into more shit

you should always work so that you contribute to society and remember where you came from

>>13789536
Public. I don’t go out of my way to be a total fag libtard with the kids like the rest of the staff. There’s some subtle red pills I throw in naturally. I doubt it has any impact on elementary kids, they can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time.

Salaried logistics industrial engineering supervisor here. My value in the company is based on ROI activities.

My job is pretty sweet, and I have a ton of free time to make my job easier with VBA and macros; brain-dead stuff. Ironically, I was deep into crypto before I got this job, and the fundamentals of DLT helped me understand enjoy my role in a data reconciliatior function. I can work remotely, and srsly I could keep doing it even after I make it, as much of it mimics the production indices of proof of work mining- and my profitability is granted as a bonus every year.

I was just in the right place. At the right time. Knew the right people. And did the right things.

Fuck yeah dude

middle manager in a production facility making 47k a year. no room for upward mobility, company racing to the bottom, but I can do my job in my sleep. the work is great, my employees are awful. they're donkeys and I need a team of thoroughbreds, but that will never happen. on average i work 14 hours a day.

I hope to land a career as an operations manager of some sort and actually vertically integrate into a company instead of just yell orders. I was never trained to be a leader, only a boss, so leadership training has been my big thing lately. sadly none of my employees are interested in being led, only pushed and pulled.

funny thing is we all expected to go out of business for good but after being bought out by a huge corporation last year there might be a way for me to ride this shit indefinitely, but I really need more than 47k a year to hit my goals in life.

>>13790288

meant to say i work 14 hours after going to my 2nd job in the evenings cleaning corporate office buildings. easy work and I can just chill the fuck out. if things ever totally go to shit i'm going all in on office cleaning contracts.

I dunno, you have to be massively unexceptional to know CS and not do cool shit with it. There is so much opportunity out there that if you get BTFO'd it really is largely your fault for placing all your cards in the hands of a boss.

life as an autist couldn't be harder

I make high class audio equipment that you all know of yet probably can't afford, especially new. I get paid an alright wage to do it.
I make more from trading.

I had a good career for a year some years back. Now I work in a company I hate for peanuts. Fuck this era of year long contractual employment where nobody will hire you properly to cut insurance costs.

Currently finishing up my bachelors in geology.
Will probably do my masters in Petroleum Geology, perhaps in Norway or Italy. Seems like a comfy subject with good pay

I'm an air traffic controller.

It used to be a good job. Then all the based old aviation boomers retired, and the FAA replaced them with literally niggers and women, who are awful at controlling air traffic and adhering to safety regulations. My facility has become a nightmare, and I get blamed because the poorly trained line-controllers are immune to criticism and corrective action due to owning a vagina or shit colored skin.

The first ~4 years of my career were pretty cool, but the staffing issues are utterly out of control. I have been planning an exit strategy for some time. Will probably go do contract work overseas somewhere just to get away from all these fucking morons and freeloaders.

>>13792167
Cool job! Sad to hear about your situation though. Is the pay any good over there? Here in Finland, ATCs are some of the best paid workers

TOP FUCKING GIGANTIC KEK

Another global warming / environment puppet falling for the propaganda.

Carbon based energy isn't going anywhere anytime soon you leftist blind brainwashed pathetic fucking moron.

>hur durr you didn't give any reasons you just call me moron.

HERE ARE 2 YOU FUCK:

1. They are not done selling you the shit they get for free in the ground.

How's that for BIZ? You are not shutting down your biz as long as there is demand for your supply. Especially if you get the supply for almost free after initial investments.

>>13792167
I did ATC training with the USAF. Best of class was a girl, but her parents were both controllers. She was really good.
Maybe I'll try ATC work after my contract is done.

29year old NEET no qualifications.
should i just kms?

>>13788702
I'm a butcher. I can make up to $22/hour depending where I work and how good I am. It's not great money and I go to work everyday with a small chance of losing a finger.
I also did landscaping for one year and now my wrists and hands are destroyed (nerve damage, carpal tunnel). I am fucked long term.

I make $90k a year. Not sure if I’d call it a “good” career though, because it’s a blue collar trade and I work my fucking ass off for that money

I am a software developer in college from the Netherlands. Only earn 120$ a month so trading shitcoins is my only hope.

>>13793544
Damn. That’s my hourly wage

>You're a fucking moron to hate the average American, [...] the average American has voted for the supposed peace candidate for more than half a generation.
>We haven't been in control for 150 years
the "average American" seems to be a retarded, brainwashed consumerist drone that does everything they are told to do, and does, and never has done, nothing to make politicians accountable. and yes, I've read enough books about the topic to know that the average americunt doesn't care about anything but themselves.

>the average American is the only reason you aren't twice as poor
I'd rather be poor and free than "rich" with a shit life, living in a politically homogenously liberal society like ours. it's shit, people think they have options and are free, while, in reality, theiy are only free to buy their own life.

>poor nigger.
this attitude, again. see, it's obvious that the average American keeps blaming everyone else for their own retardation.

Thanks anon

I told my boss my mom was dying, and I moved from expensive NJ to FL.

Now I work form home doing the same job making 65k a year.(my parents home)

My dad has two retirements (retired 0-7) retired from large plane manufacture, and maxed his ROTH IRA. On top of that hes collecting a maxed out benefit social security.(he waited to take).


I don't even buy groceries. I'm on his phone plan.

I also have a stack of 46k link

22 yr old male NEET no job, no car, but in community college for past 3yrs. Play poker on and vidya in bed, read, then smoke w frens all day. Lose money on Robinhood? Mommy gives me $20 & hot tendies every afternoon. Life is comfy

3.2 GPA but idk about degree choice. I like self-employed people. but business admin is meme degree, C.S. would be a cool skill

Currently working as a GIS fag for way below industry average in a telecom industry, even though I have a mechanical engineering degree. It's just a contact position, but I can probably slide into a real position at this company once it's over, since I do the best work. I don't know if I want to though, I want to do more interesting work than just telecom and bullshit. I'd be making good pay at least. (Probably bump up to 60k at the least). Til then, I also work weekends at my old job because student loans are fucking me up and I haven't quite learned to budget.

>>13788702
30 year old doctor. Family doctor so I can’t be my autistic self at work. Biz is home. All in one coin. I’m from a poor background as parents weren’t wiser but make enough to look after them. Will continue working as I love what I do. My wealth from making it will be used to set up a good life for my future kids. Will use the rest for setting up a charity helping educate poor but gifted children.

22 yr old male, been a DJ since I was 15, won a big contest 2 years ago, been making quite a lot of money since then, 400/hr for pressing some buttons. Currently also combined with studying accountancy, thought I wouldn't like it, turns out it's rather nice compared to other meme degrees in business admin. After I get my degree I'll prob quit dj'ing, pretty tired of all those parties and being overly socially capable.

Have no idea what I want to do with my life and I’m 23

I'm officially unemployed by the government but I actually trade shitcoins

I would say I'm roughly make about $50,000 a year on top of whatever the government gives me

P.s I don't live in the US.

Also I've done sound engineering since I was 12 but never persuaded a career in music like I dreamed of but that dream is kind of a meme now.

Anybody here with a MIS degree?

>>13788702

Been 5 years a good career at Long John Silvers.

about to graduate with a 2:2 business degree, currently trying to figure out avenues for self-employment

Got a meme Masters' degree (MPS) but am a pretty decent coder and fabricator. Has anyone ever had a good experience freelancing? I'm held back from sustaining a normie job due to my crippling social anxiety. Getting better but the thought of grinding it out in an open plan office makes me want to kms. Have done a lot of freelance stuff but usually end up getting jewed due to not asking for enough money.

Leaning CCNA while waging and being a idiot with crypto.

>Qualified chef in Aus for past 7 years

I hate my job and hate my life and now I know why everyone in this industry uses meth. On holiday for the last 2 weeks so been sleeping <10 hrs a week tweaking and looking at fkn charts all night and morning, trying desperately to find a quick way out of the working man's rat-race.

May RSR save my soul.

>being an employee
There are no good careers, there's wageslaves that are paid garbage and get the weekends off and 2 weeks of vacation a year... and wageslaves that work through many weekends and don't take vacations... they get paid a little better but also pay a ton of tax and start their careers $100k in the hole thanks to college.

Only capitalists and neets actually enjoy life.

At least fucking learn from your past mistakes anon

>>13790343
My sentiment exactly. Well put.

>>13798322
I've been lucky enough to learn from my failures. Just wish I had failed earlier.

>>13798201
None of what you posted is true. You're trying to rationalize why you haven't done anything with your life.

>>13798620
False, I'm a capitalist.

20 y/o NEET, dropped out of high school, can't work any physical jobs because I can barely lift 2 kg and can't work any social jobs because of crippling anxiety. I'm not missing out on much though, the minimum wage here is around ~570 usd. I currently am making that x1.5-3 per month by flipping currency in a certain videogame. If I can save up ~37k usd I can live collecting ETF gains, if not, i'll kms when I run out. I'd feel less ashamed spreading my asshole on MFC than being a slave for $3.4/hr for 50 hours every week. Wish me luck frens

>>13789632
Ive worked with shitheads like you, who sit inside all day and call themselves a project manager, while the project is going to shit, but the fuckhead in charge cant even be reached on his phone, too busy sexting and jacking off.

>>13788702
I was born in a quite wealthy family already, but my parents were smart enough not to let me know until I was halfway mature enough. Making it means becoming more wealthy than my father, but since he‘ll have worked harder for the wealth, it‘ll still feel bad. I am a loser.

>>13788702
just recently got fired from a large crypto related company (similar to consensus, r3, etc)

fuck off, this is a NEET board for us failures to make it.

As long as you keep that fire lit and keep working to make your goal a reality you're not a loser.

There are zero industries that are safe from popping.

>>13799907
The capitalist...

Always makes money, even when industries pop, vulture capital can buy things off for cheap and later hold them hostage when the economy recovers.

>made a ton of money buying junk bonds held by investors in Latin American countries whose economies fail for pennies on the dollar (they charged it off as the price of doing business) and then sue the new government when the economy recovers for the full amount of the bond that the initial investors put into... they always pay...

>sure it's taking money from poor countries when they most need it, but fuck them for being brown and poor

No, and I have not a single chance of getting out of my current situation. I'm literally betting on LINK just to get out.

I'm a pharmacist. I work in a comfy setting that pays really well. But that can drastically change within the next 5 years. My current plan is to save up $2 million before I'm 40 and semi-retire in Thailand or Philippines.

>we are all rich faggot hahaha

It's funny how everyone on 4chan is ripped, hung, and rich.

I JUST WANT OUT AAAAAAAAA SOMEONE SAVE MEEEEEEE

Shitcoin betting NEET here, survive by taking money from /biz/lets. I do not wish I had a job, this is the ideal life.

>>13798069
I've been in CC for 5 years, it's basically like being a NEET because you don't have any actual skills at the end of it.
