"do what you love" was valid advice back in like the 1950-1970s when the US population was <50% of what it is today while third world shitholes like china, india, bangladesh were in the stone age and not viable targets for outsourcing. if you had a degree back then, you could basically do whatever you wanted and still make good money.

every single year from 25 to 36 feels almost exactly the same. you don't think ahead much. then you realize you're coming up on 40 and things will change, but they don't really change. you think ahead, but only to about 40 or 45.
then you do hit 40 and magically you just don't give a fuck anymore, and simultaneously everything slows down, and now you think ahead to what it will be like when you're 80.
now you really enjoy life. unless you've fucked it up with drugs and gambling.

Don't go to school for stats at your age. Seriously, do not.

If you are capable of the kind of reasoning that stats requires, you are capable of programming, and programming is both more lucrative and more likely to land you a job.

Stats work is now Machine Learning, AI and or data science. Here's how you break in. You find a discord, no I am not fucking kidding, you find a bunch of topical discords. You find people in study groups and working on projects. Be very careful that you do not perpetually study and do not have projects to show for it. Anyway, you find people working on projects, and you help them. This is both how you skill up, and how you network.

After cutting your teeth on a few open source projects, you can start asking around through your network how to get a position. It will be hard, but way easier than you might think. And it will cost you only your time, instead of your time and money.

Yeah and doctors also have to spend 7+ years being overworked and criminally underpaid (or paid nothing) plus debtmaxxed. Seriously the finances for medicine are not that good compared to data science or SWE even if you're in your 20s, they're fucking horrible in your 30s and beyond.

In the time it takes you to finish med school, a DS or SWE could work, save >50% of their income, and be practically set for life. The difference in net worth at 7 years would be close to $1,000,000.

This is solid advice. In four years you could nab a data-related job based on self-study and a few projects. College stats would be very slowly paced and extremely expensive. You can get access to pretty much every course on Coursera for $400/year.

Only good reasons to go to college at 36 is (1) if you absolutely need the BA credentials to get a good job, (2) you are so horribly socialized you need to pay five figures a year to be in a social environment (some people really need this), or (3) you want to bang early 20s puss.

Data Scientist here. Even with extensive engineering (SE), data science (MSTAT degree ongoing), projects & product management experience, it’s hard to get into Data Science. Most of the work in AI is about MLE/MLops, and nothing do with actual model building. Look into AWS Sagemaker & GCP automl. If they need, they usually hire a PhD in Math/stat/ml, for things like scanning retina for diagnosing neuro-degenerative diseases.

Most of the data-science is fucking boring. When got a choice been authority & novelty, choose authority. Data Science is a IC role often with no authority, unless you ride the usual ladder to get to “Head of Data” roles (often need MBA after a quant degree).

MSTAT + FRM + SAS, is a legitimate way to move to financial risk management which is pretty chilled. Do this, or go to med school.

Yeah I'm worried about that too. I have to put an end to these attempts of getting rich at some point. If I stick with it too long, in this case the latest cutoff point 40, I'll put myself into a worse position. Neither rich or with a worthwhile women.

Beginning to wonder if I should be going out frequently in hopes of meeting a worthwhile women. Out in this case does not means clubs or bars (never been to them not a place for women I'dseriously consider), I literally mean just out and about. At 35 my odds for a woman in her mid 20s or younger feel slim but at 40 it'dbe even lower especially since in either scenario I bring no monetary wealth to the table. Although there's always a chance for one that'd dig me for some reason or another eg I'm just her type. Man this is becoming problematic.

From what I've seen personally it's okay. You could make more if you go for one of those companies that work you like a slave but if you don't it's a mediocre salary per year.

I feel the same way too, i'm trying not to be too picky with the age range because i don't think i'd have my pick of the litter anyway. The danger of dating younger is that she would still not want to settle down and build a family... and the danger of going with older women is damaged goods that you have to spend your life fixing. You just have to hope you get lucky, that's all there is to it.

and you are right, you have to leave the house. if you are walking around in public just say "hello" and if she wants to she will respond and engage in a conversation with you. Otherwise, try to do as many of your activities outside the house as possible. read at a park, get a dog and take it for walks. if you work on your laptop, take it outside to coffeshops, libraries, gym and sport club (cafes), bars, pubs, parks, bookshops. Maximize your time outside. try different dating apps and maybe hire a professional photographer to improve your chances.

Being a GP is such an easy and cushy job, at least if you know what you're doing.
There is nothing stressful about managing diabetes, HBP and doing routine checks, which will be a big part of your day to day life.
There is nothing stressful about diagnosing and treating things like GERD, Asthma and Allergies, which will be another big part of your day to day life.
There can be some stress with acute and life threatening diseases like if some retard comes to you with what appears to be a heart attack or acute abdomen. But in an acute coronary syndrome you just do an EKG and send him to the closest emergency room. With an acute abdomen you just call an ambulance and do some basic diagnostic maneuvers to have something to write in the notes.
Infections can be a bit stressful, but mostly you will just diagnose and treat simple infections like Pneumonia and send anything complex to the hospital.
It's a cushy and great job but nobody wants to do it anymore because they like the prestige of being a specialist, even though depending on the country GPs can earn more than specialists if they go into private practice.

Yeah I know, in Europe it's 6 years med school + 5-6 years residency to become a specialist in family medicine (GP).
It's around the same in the U.S., unless you go for the specialties and subspecialties, which will take like 3-4 years longer.
The difference is that once you're a residency trained doctor, you make around 100k in Europe and 250k+ in the U.S.

>but no doctor salary of 200k-1mm a year outside fangman
I make 250k/year and I'm not at FAGMAN (we are a high tier company and I did some leetcode easy/med to get in).

People do need to realize that CS is pretty much leetcode or go home (or make shit pay). Not every software engineer gets to FAGMAN or equivalent, but it's not because they couldn't. They show up to a DS&A interview, get btfo, never really practice, and then go find a company that pays way less w/an easy interview and get "comfy"

That is, thepeople that fail are those that aren't even dedicated enough to leetcode for 1-3 months.

You're not going to speerun it in a weekend. Just build up a little per day and keep taking interviews and don't accept bottom tier compensation.

That said, SWE is extremely homosexual work and I'm trying to switch out like I mentioned in my other comments. Coding sux, but I struck a deal with the devil for cash.

>In the time it takes you to finish med school, a DS or SWE could work, save >50% of their income, and be practically set for life. The difference in net worth at 7 years would be close to $1,000,000.
Exactly.

I was at around 1 million net worth around the time medfags were residents.

The people enjoying their time on the medical path seemed to come from relatively rich senpaitachi that could bankroll not just private k-12, undergrad, and UCLA med school, but also the LA lifestyle while not having a job.

That's a huge expense. Meanwhile, in my family...if my parents helped my brother with even $3,000 it was a LOAN lmfao

Just turned 28 and I'm beginning to feel this. Time flies REALLY fast, a lot of months are like blackouts because nothing new happens. It's like an endless tunnel of procrastination, boredom, and light anxiety and insecurity about what the future will be like. Or maybe this is because I found a stable graphic design job last year, that pays an average wage and requires very little effort or hours of work each day. I could probably find some freelance stuff, work for some other clients since I have a lot of free time, but I'm too lazy for that. Looking back when I was a NEET, it wasn't much different, I was just watching youtube all day, playing video games, scrolling facebook. I remember always being "scared" of wagecucking because working 8 hours a day sounds exhausting as fuck, no one told me it's actually like 3-4 hours of work each day and that you're basically doing NOTHING most of the time. it's comfy as hell, but very boring.
