im turning 29, I hate my life, been stuck helping family out ever since i was 19. finally I will be able to start my life at 30, what should i look into for a career?
>been working wagie jobs for the last 10 years
>saved up, invested in both stocks and crypto.
>physically fit and healthy.
>willing to relocate anywhere if its interesting.
What are good career paths for a 30 year old?, my brother works as a mechanic for war planes, always suggests that to me but i dont know.

Do whatever, but not something glued to screen other than Quant. Also don't spend the whole day in GitHub PR, JIRA & AWS.

Focus on science, research, biotech, biotech ML, invent drugs, develop new FinTech products on blockchain/crypto etc.

Even if takes 6 years, getting a MD is good idea as long as crypto gives you money to open open clinic or health resort.

Damian expertise with leverage to avoid BS jobs like software engineers in SV.

Nursing is fun. Can get your RN in 2 years, though BSN is more sought after. 1 year for LPN license (me) which gets your feet wet and can make good money depending on your skill and location. The career mobility is insane. You can move laterally from cruise ship nurse to ICU to a fucking podiatry clinic. Vertical movement is really limited to administration. Admin are devils who live on the blood sacrifices of patients to meet financial goals. They're the ones saying I can totally be tripled in the ICU or that nah I don't really need all that PPE, that costs money.

But to each their own. Lots of flexibility. People do however literally shit and die all over you and you will be in a weird customer service sort of relationship while that is happening which can be strange. Medicine in America is a very dangerous dance of covering your ass and defensive nursing/charting. It's a dystopian hell BUT I get paid a lot and can sometimes feel cool and medicine is sciency.

Don't know what type of guy you are, but the trades are working for me. I got my plumbing license last year and this year I've made more than ever in my life. Almost triple what I was used to making just being a tech wagie. I did a two year apprenticeship during which I was making like 40k a year. Maybe look into the trades man.

>> No.50262165

You've waited a really fucking long time but it's definitely not possible to still have a financially secure life. You have investments which is a plus. I'm assuming you don't have a college degree so a lot of high-paying jobs are locked out from you, but tech school is probably still an option. Regardless of the faggots that meme about dying for Israel, the military is a solid career choice for people who aren't sure yet what they want to do, if only for the benefits that you family get. My own family pretty much escaped from poverty thanks to the GI Bill. And mechanics are valuable anyway so I would definitely listen to your brother if that sounds appealing to you.

But as other anons have said you should literally just do anything. You're too old to be paid by the hour.

damn. i'm in the same boat. 29, moved back to moms a few years ago to help her recover post surgery just turned into long-term care.
i have a business degree, and been trying to get into software development. but it's been pretty challenging to land a job, mostly because i can't adhere to 8 hours in front of a screen either.

there are a lot of career opportunities in semiconducting, but i'm pretty sure most American semiconductor companies require that you start at a plant. even if it's for 6 months, just to get an understanding of how the equipment works. but you could work at tokyo electron and have them pay for all of your housing and driving if you're willing to travel 100% of the time. they'll cover all of it, you'd just live out of hotels and get to check out different parts of the country.

nursing is cool, lots of women. or a law degree. those are things i've explored, but i don't want to be on a college campus at 30, it just feels weird to me.

Do you have all the prereqs for med school completed? If so, its not too late because the average med school student starts at 24. Even if you had to start from 0, it’s not too late, but make sure you’re not just in it for the money because there’s an insane grind waiting for you.

Get a teaching job in a cushy suburb and make 80k a year with 3 months off. You need to do professional development every year and most teachers do it during the summer months, but I just double down and get it done nights and weekends during the school year.

At the start of the year I was waging at a fast food restaurant. I then decided to become a copywriter. Fast forward five months and I'm working full time as a copywriter in a decent sized marketing company.

I have a degree in film and television, but its hardly relevant to me getting the job. Copywriting is easy to get into so long as you have a good command of English. I work with someone from Greece whose English is good, but her copy does show some ESL giveaways in it. So if you can write better than a non-native speaker, then you basically already have the skills to be a copywriter.

Copywriters are always in demand because every single website requires copy. More websites + social media channels + whatever the fuck else means there is always a demand for copywriters. You can go on hubspot that has an academy where you can get free certifications you can put on your linkedin.

A supervisor at my fast food job whose in her 30s decided to become a copywriter and was able to quit and work from home inside of a month.

Would recommend.

not him but i worked at medical device company for a bit as an accounting/finance wagie. most of the sales niggers seemed to be good looking chads/staceys with undergrad degrees in whatever who started their career in medical device sales. the normal looking people were former teachers, engineers, scientists, etc. who later changed careers to sales. they had good social skills but they definitely weren't getting dr. shekelstein to sign a $500k contract by showing some cleavage.

this seems to apply to many industries. ERP and accounting software salesmen usually worked previously as accountants. same with recruiters specializing in finance/accounting roles.

if this doesn't apply to you, and you're not a chad/stacy, you're going to have a harder time. maybe consider building your sales skills at a shitty sales job that takes anyone with a pulse: car dealerships or major carrier cell phone retailer.

MD is a lot but can be done. I have multiple coresidents in their 30s so your age isn’t limiting you. Just understand it’s not easy money. The amount of time/stress is immense. If you do go for it I’d lean towards cushy high paying specialties (psych/gas/rads/PM&R/derm).

just working your standard shifts youll be making around 65k while only working half of the year. you can work over a few days on your hitch or stay on for 14hrs instead of your normal 12hr shift and hit 100k in a year. if you dont have a degree then i think this would be your best bet. plus, if you arent married or have any other responsibilities at home then you could use your days off to start your own business and really double down on your income
