>>15977978
I think the takeaway is that wagecucking for 40 years is hell no matter what path you go down

I bathe dogs all day.

>>15977994
What’s a good starting point to get into that line of work?

Does it suffice to learn on your own or is a degree more practical business wise? How did you get break in?

>>15978049

Literally use a service like Udemy or skillshare.

College is for cucks.

>>15978002
What are the alternatives to wagecuck? I spend most my days trying to formulate some sort of other business plan..

I would like to take Trading full time while going to school for CS but I don’t know if I want to fuck myself with more debt.

Once you understand dev ops, there is no going back.

>>15978058
I agree but you think that would be enough to break into the industry? Don’t employers look for degrees or a track record?

I'm a writer. I love writing, but every day I grow to hate audiences more and more.

>>15977978
why do you hate it?

I’m a musician and industry songwriter. Buying a shitton of BTC in 2012 has allowed me to be able to pursue my craft without ever having to worry about money. I also live with my grandma, never eat out, and drive a Tesla that I recharge with solar power (sometimes kek). I feel like I’m about to break through. Feels good man. I’m 21 btw

I just started commercial painting in Japan. My nip talk is shit so I was pretty limited in what I could do but this job is fucking awesome. I was head of IT at a few companies before in Australia and never want to do desk work again.

I work at factory 80hours a week

pest control. love it and the pay is pretty decent. No boss, no office, life is good.
>>15978047
You must be in heaven no?

>>15978072

No.

Businesses only care about prior experience.

No one gives a fuck about degrees anymore.

>>15978065
I have $45k in crypto and plan to add $20k more in the next year. If that fails then it's day of the rope

>>15977912
I'm a pharmacist. Also a dying business. I'm hoping to milk this high salary for at least 10 more years.

>>15978094
I like it. It can get frustrating sometimes with shit head dogs that act a fool. But overall its pretty much just hanging out al day.

>>15978106

pharmacists will be replaced by robots by 2030.

>>15978075

>>15978101
Interesting.. finance industry creams over your degree and where it’s from

>>15978116
Probably. But by that time, I should have a net worth of over $1.5 million.

>>15978205
Yea. I was lucky enough to break in but no one is really making any money anymore except the top guys..the rest are just pawns. Half of the industry is autonomous now anyways.

Brokers are irrelevant. Analysts will be irrelevant especially once computing steps up..data science, CS etc is where it’s headed.

I'm a traffic officer for outdoor events. It's borderline freelance in that I choose what jobs I want to take, but I'm so well set within my company that I can always get work outside of January-February.

My company actually hired a jr dev last year who had completed their entire curriculum and used what he learned to involve himself in some projects on Github. He sold himself very well.
He's quickly adapted to working with c# and .net since then and is no longer a "jr" dev.

t. property management company owner.

I do insurance inspections. I drive around to photograph and measure houses or businesses and submit the info to the insurance companies. I am 28 and have been doing it for 10 years. It is pretty flexible but absolutely kills my vehicle and I am stuck with cars loans because I need reliable transportation since I'm in the car for 6-9 hours a day. Usually on the road 3-4 days a week, work from home 1 day to submit all the paperwork. Was kind of comfy in early 20s and I make ~40k-45k before taxes as I'm paid by piece. I don't enjoy the work though, very tedious and I feel like I'm running perpetual fetch quests. I just started going back to college to get a bachelors in business administration or something but I don't know what job I want to do.

Is it too late for me, frens? I'm not a brainlet but also not a genius and maths is my worst subject so STEM is out of reach for me. Am I doomed to this eternal wage cucked? I used to have such hope but I'm kind of a doomer now.

Every day I watch videos of raped girls, severed heads and everything else like that for 500 euros a month, I have about 600 euros invested in crypto, I'm about to graduate in psychology. In my free time I program apps that I play on the playstore, but so far they haven't been very successful, but I don't give up.

How hard is it to learn?

I lost all my money in crypto in 2018. Lost good job. Now i work with credits for business, trying to get in back in crypto...
Also live in shithole with my 10/10 gf (for all who think, that girls need money only).

>>15983456
How did you lose? Bitconnect? Tell us the story?

>>15983433
Ngl pretty hard, I did it at uni in a top 10 cs program so I had great instruction and resources. Actually enjoyed learning it while there on my own time but doing it professionally 8-5 is mind-numbing. Think you have to be autistic to do it in an office everyday. Idk about self-learning, obviously doable but it’d be a lot of hard work.

I get something about $50k on ripple in december 17', than i put most of this money in other shitcoins...than bitmex... than i leave my job. 2018 we lived with little budget and trading on binance and bitmex. I sell my car, go from normal flat to the shithole. Than all money is gone. My gf return to work, i trying to trading again. Aaaand crash. My life destroyed. I have no car, no money, no home. Fuck, i think this is the end. I try to get a job, no good. I wonder how is my girl is stay with me in that shitty time. I read books about taoism and trying to get money. Than i met some person from bank industry and trying to work with business credit. This is my story. can laugh at me

thank you. I'm trying. Funny thing that is i feel something like timer in life. I need to get some good money to buy bitcoin before it's too late.

Focus on getting a real job/business going. Don't believe in this crypto pipedream. Or you'll be looking for the rope in a couple of years. Keep crypto a hobby, a side thing.

Pretty comfy

>>15983680
Cool. Does the removal process depend on what type of asbestos it is - or is it all the same? It came to mind since I have to report the exact type.

>>15983679
I learned that lesson. I see strange situation. I'm not pessismist, but i see the world around me is little bit weak. My life is on limit and i see big shit will be soon for all people... That's like 20th century started... we live in time for change.

>>15983726
Here in The Netherlands its basicly split in about 5 ways.
Open air. (Klasse 1)
Containment ( Klasse 2)
And then a special clas for high risk asbestos ( amosiet, crocidoliet).
For everyone of those you wear a suit and
full face mask.
Lately there have alot of debates about the removal of asbestos roofs on old barns, and the government gives alot of subsidies for removing these.
Sorry for the bad english btw.

I'M GONG TO KILL MY SELF./

I'm a technical lead. When the company hires technicians with no experience or more than a passing interest in computers I have to teach them basic skills. I run the larger projects like OS rollouts and I do all the troubleshooting and root cause analysis for user level issues that crop up. I'm not eligible for bonuses based on saving the company money because im not a dev. Even if I save more money than the devs do. They got me to take a "promotion" in 2011 promising more money for becoming a network admin. More money turned out to be $40/month and my new supervisor told me that right before telling me I was now on 24/7/365 call. I spent the next several years looking for a better job but it turned out I was already making more than average for my actual skill set. In fact in 3 years I only found one position that actually paid more but they pulled it right after I applied. The company eventually needed a tech lead more than a network admin so I'm back. Even making more than average inflation is screwing me and I fall a little further behind every year with groceries being my single biggest monthly expense. More than my mortgage and debt service. I did everything right. Got skills got a job didn't take on massive debt. Bought a house I could actually afford and never did vacations or stupid things like jet skis. But I'm still going to be broke my whole life. I managed to save $1000 over the last year but then both cars broke down so its all gone. I've tried starting side businesses, trading crypto, forex. Even breeding dogs. Nothing works. My wife is a Christian fatalist so she wont help with getting ahead. She says we should be happy with what we have and trying for something better is a sin. Or something. Oh, I got screwed out of my retirement. So I can't even look forward to that. I live for my kids. I would have drank myself to death by now without them.

Currently a CNA. Finishing last pre-req course for a ADN/RN program. It starts Fall/2020. Will finish and work in a ICU for two years while getting my MSN(already have a BA in another field). Then I’ll apply for a DNAP program.
