How did they become a librarian? That requires a masters degree.

>>53552767
Libraries still exist?

>>53552767
Yep, you fucked up. Digital librarians are the go-to job if you want to work from home and make big bucks. It's fucking easy as well. If you want to keep the library quiet, just mute everyone in the room with a click of a button. It"s also all self service so you don't need to get involved as much. If someone wants to check out a book from our digital library, it's all done automatically. They just enter their details and they'll get a date when their access gets revoked. All I have to do is maintain the books and resources but it's so easy. I just need to fiddle with some tables in the database which only takes an hour, and voila people can access the latest books from our library.

I fell for the actuarial consulting meme.

>>53553795
I'm about to graduate with the same degree, how did you get into your line of work?

>>53552767
well fuck i guess ill look into librarian career

>>53553828
Passed a few actuarial exams, got an internship as an actuarial consultant, and then leveraged that internship into a full-time position at a different firm.=

>>53552767

You have substantially more opportunity to advance in your field than your buddy. All he can be is a librarian. You can be a senior engineer, engineering manager, potentially move into the executive ranks.

>>53553142
he thinks this is something to brag about. that is horrible

OP is meming but the only thing worse than larping neets are people whose parents or friends fronted them the connections to get a job but lie and claim they just 'worked really hard' to get into a big old silicon valley FAGMAN corpo to make 300k a year by 27.

>median income is 36k a year including boomers who worked for 40 years
>everyone on /biz/ is making 200k a year
Wow so what's your excuse for not retiring early?

this is now a data mining thread

>>53553142
>new jersy dept of transportation

man i gotta ask you, i drove right through every toll i went to in new jersy without paying but i have ontario plates, what are the odds ill get a warrant for my arrest or some shit?

Me, engineer, work from home, only make 400k a year with a shit 85k bonus, unlimited paid time off but my dickhead boss only lets us use 10 weeks. Kill me

>>53553142
Get out of my town you fucking nigger. Only I'm allowed to be based and West Trenton pilled on this board

>>53553161
not OP but I make that much as a BSME in Los Angeles. It's hard out there

>>53552823
You can sometimes work at a library without an mlis but unlikely for 52k. I did myself and made 55 like 7 years ago but had a phd In English so my case was pretty rare. I have an mlis and make 95 at a corporate gig

>>53553096
You’re full of shit. I am an actual librarian and I know you’re full of shit lol

>>53553852
You will need an mlis to do it, there really aren’t many remote gigs left, although I work one, academic librarianship is hard to break into, and public libraries are nightmares

>>53552767
I actually can’t tell if other MEs are suffering or it’s just memers but I started the trend of making these threads and I used that picture

>>53553142
That’s so unbelievably fucking bad I’m convinced other engineers either have brain damage or Stockholm syndrome or something preventing them from understand personal finance. That’s literally horrible level pay

>>53552767
If you just graduated that's not terrible. Basically what engineers were making 10 years ago though. There's not much money to be made in engineering IMO. Move into management or something else technical if you want to do technical work. The problem solving methods you learned in school should help you there (not a meme).

>something else technical if you want to do technical work

Like what?

>>53553947
>>53553947
200k really isnt shit. you need to make at least 500k/year to retire early

>>53555625
software, patent attorney (law + engineering degrees), etc. Hell, you could probably translate if you picked up a second language and get paid more. I did that as an engineer and was paid pretty well for it (freelance, so jobs weren't consistent and I only did it part-time during school), but you need to avoid the cheapskate customers and go after large firms and people who want quality documentation or for stuff like international ERP implementations.

>>53552767
Librarian? Does that job even exist anymore? You can get anything online anyway

>>53554525
>He doesn't know digital librarians are a thing.
The future is now, old man.

>>53553795
I assume you’re a fellow in whatever actuarial society applies to you? Do you typically work more than 40 hours per week? The talk around the insurance company I’m at, is that consulting is crazy hours for marginally better pay.

I’m an exam away from ASA, and I’ve thought about making the switch to consulting.
