In uni atm getting a degree in software engineering. Pretty comfy shit while taxpayers are footing the bills and neetbux to provide everything else. Personally if i could, I would just keep going to school on the wagies dime and invest every last dime into crypto.

I got a job paying over $30/hr with me stem degree sitting in an office.
Only downside is they block 4chan so I have to phone post.
All the employees are not working for about 1/3 to 1/2 the day.
I considered manual labour, but for the moment am satisfied I did not.

Fair enough

Then they go on and complain about how "school didn't teach me how to pay taxes" when my high school had a mandatory course covering everything from paying taxes to building credit to buying a house, and nobody even paid attention to that. People simply don't want to solve their own problems even when you lay out the tools in front of them.

I had a nearly identical experience. There is one thing that I want to get across to you as well. Past a certain point, additional money doesnt do you any good. Mr. Wrren Buffet sums it up well here:

I agree with this. College is a complete waste of time and you can solve your own problems just teaching yourself what you need to know. Libraries are free, the internet is infinite

I'm not sure about that yet but I definitely believe that most degrees are pointless and a waste of money.

Got a degree in ecology and public affairs about 2 years ago. Now I just sit on ass, managing excel sheets for the state drinking water department. Making 60k a year starting out, and the government benefits are pretty nice. I plan on moving to the private sector, maybe after a few more years under my belt. But for now, I’m living at my parents and drive into the capital almost every weekday (remote work on Monday and Friday). It’s an awesome job for a young person. Low stress and the management style is really hands off. All supervisors leave around 3… soo I just get all my work done and leave after that. You put in your own time sheet. So people come and go as they please. My manager tends his small homestead farm while “working” 40 hrs a week. The pto carries over to the next year. Old ladies in my department have like 6 months of pto saved up. I could go on about how working for the government is a decent gig. Anyway, I’m glad I went and got my meme degree.

Enjoy your broken body, low status and poverty

Using your body everyday doesn't break it. There's way to much tension and division sewn between people who PRODUCE in different ways. As a blue collar small business owner, I've developed a lot of respect for the roles of white collar members of society while doing all of the back office stuff that scales, promotes, and legally/ financially maintains the enterprise.

Tradies and desk jockies need to realize their common enemy is the coffee shop worker and their closest living relative the unemployed.

my life is shet after getting heartbroken. literally was on my grind until the pandemic + break up + nearly getting evicted all came together to bring me to a halt. now i geniuenly dont care and feel feral. haven't showered or gone outside in a month.
idk where ima end up in life desu because i dropped out with some debt, so i rule that out as more than likely federal aid is denied to people who haven't paid their debt back.
might end up deciding to go homeless, because i genieunly cant see myself working more than 20 hours a work. i just want freedom, a place to chill, and my own means of transportation.
btw im in nyc too.
anon, i think its best for you to stay away from trades, because it felt like a waste of time for me working for amazon back when i was a teen. although it helped me in earning some $ to buy my own phone, i wished i had just left and put that time into something else. the work is backbreaking and you are literally working for the whole duration of the shift excluding lunch break.

Never went to college. After finishing high school I went and did a traineeship where I got paid to go to a tech school and rolled that into a job. These days I’m a train engineer. I’ll probably make $130k AUD this year which isn’t great but not horrifying either. The trouble with my job is that the shift work will take years off my life and there’s not really anywhere to go beyond here. Truth be told I wish I had actually gone to college straight out of school like everyone else. I got a head start on a lot of people my age but as they exited college with better qualifications they’ve climbed the job ladder quicker and now they’re earning far better.

I recently enrolled to do aerospace engineering at university part time and hopefully I’ll be able to use that to move to try and move to the US (you guys don’t make it easy in the slightest). Though I am considering applying for a signal electrician apprenticeship with my current employer, even at a base level they make a fair bit more than train crew (roughly $180k AUD) and there are more opportunities to go further in that area. If I get the apprenticeship I’ll likely drop university. I’m cautiously optimistic that life will improve for me over the next decade.
