>>49598483
You must have really fucked up your college to not be able to get any kind of decent job anywhere with an engineering degree.

Engineering isn’t a meme degree, unless you did something stupid like civil or chemical engineering. Most engineers I know have really good paying jobs, some of them left engineering to become consultants and make even more money. You are just stupid and/or lazy, most people think once they land a job they can just sit back and relax and waste their 20s. You should be hustling, develop yourself, start a business, become an expert within your field. Once you achieve this you will no longer stress about your job as you will be valuable, companies will come to you instead of you applying for jobs.

Bro, your mortage is what pays my 150k salary and I just design residential areas.
Civil is one of the best careers if you know how to fucking read the residential codes and do basic math, of course the first years are shit but it takes off inmensely once you know shit.

>>49598483
IT'S FUCKING OVER

>>49599021
I did civil IN CANADA.

Probably the worst country to be a civil. Natives, environmentalists and liberals put up roadblocks to every resource project that could generate jobs and wealth for my field.

In my defense, when I was 18, things were different, the oil industry was exploding in canada and civil engineering was actually a good degree. I was just too young and dumb to see how the political landscape was changing in this country. No joke to do anything we need to get the blessing of our native overlords. to cut down a single tree we need to do a 5000 dollar bird survey

>>49599021
> something stupid like civil
Civil Engineering in US is like the only field in Engineering that is still growing in terms of jobs.

civil engineering is full of mouth breathers who can't pass basic differential equations

>>49599597
I used to work at a Civil Engineering company before I switched over to software engineering. My starting salary for Salary was the same as Civil, Mech, and Electrical engineers make after 10 years at the company. Civil Engineering is so low paid it is embarrassing. The real money on AEC side is management but even then tech management still gets paid more. The worst part is I have a person on my team who makes more than anyone who wasn't senior management at my old company despite being a high school drop out but they are autistic about coding so they never needed the degree. Civil Engineers make less than him Despite getting a P.E. and having four years of University and two years more work experience than him.

The original purpose of Universities was to be places of knowledge and education to better understand whatever field of science, law, or philosophy you have interest in. It is not supposed to be a certificate mill for wage-slave jobs. And yes, engineering is a wage-slave tier job.

If you wanted to make money and be set for life you would make connections with the most influential Jews on campus.

Could do with more money but the security is at least worth its weight in gold.

some of us have autonomy in how and where we do our work, i'm sorry that your only experience with it apparently sucked.
go work for yourself and be a slave to the government with those self-employment taxes and the retard customers instead.

When you turn 50 and have nothing remember this post and that you had a loser attitude.

>>49602621
Then keep alive for them. How do you think they would feel in that case? Be thankful about what you take for granted, think that there are people out there that have no such a family. That means that the comfy moments of being next to someone and with your brain turned off because you feel secure are not a thing for them. Imagine if everybody around you made you regret every single good action you did to them. Having at least one or two exceptions to that is so fucking key and doesnt depend on having 1 dollar or 1 million dollar, its either you have it or not. Keep it up and dont surrender, though times are coming up but we will come out with blood and victory in our hands

>>49602943
I've given up all hope for the future at this point. I don't even care if I lose my job. None of it matters if I can't live a base line middle class life.

God, "w"fh programmers are such Chads. Feels good hearing all these faggots complain while i literally did 0 hours of work today to shill for Russia on 4chan (unpaid) and do 1 interview for another company. I already have another job offer where i will work less hours, less office days, and a 20% increase in pay, and tomorrow i will have another offer which will be 100% wfh and the pay will probably be even higher than the job offer i'm currently considering.
All this only after 6 months on my current job, where i doubled my pay when compared to my previous job.

>>49598483
Too much information to bother my soul with. Use your savings and buy good alts that can allow you to earn passively. Gems like RFOX, QRDO, and VRA are good right now. Just my two cents.
