I've taken like 5 career aptitude test and none of them match up. I can't decide what my career should be. I just want to make alot of money doing something I'm good at. I'm a jack of all trades so I can do anything, the problem is deciding on what. REEEEEEEEEEEE

Those grade school (incl. high school) career aptitude tests are mostly a.) bullshit, and b.) to guide the blind into a career path because they're too fuckin dumb to make their own decisions.

As a boomer my one word of advice is if you are undecided now then probably like most people you will be wondering about what to do with your life at 20...30...40 and so on...

But personally I would say don't do some stupid degree that doesnt qualify you for anything. First try out some jobs and make contacts and then do the schooling that will help you succeed in that area. Also try to find what you love doing as well.

How do I get started on a career in programming? What languages are good and easy to learn in the Current year? What are the best resources for a total noob?
How do I stay motivated just learning by myself? I usually work best as an apprentice in person with someone else but I can't really afford to pay for education at the moment.
I'm good at math and typing and I'm mildly autistic so I think I could be good at it, and it would be nice to be able to work from home because I hate normies and jobs where I have to be around them.
Thank you for reading my blog.

>> No.10702524

imagine that you are old and have food and all other necessities and have some constant amount of money monthly (say pension)

ask yourself what you would do with all that time in a day? what you honestly like doing?

now go for it while you are not old (yes the first step is the hardest one)

Same here, I think about my career everyday for the last years and I just don't fucking know what I want to do. I like medicine, art, business, I seem to like everything, but love nothing. I also don't have any special talents that stick out.

I have big dreams, but I'll probably end up in the most boring office job ever, because I didn't decide for something

Both are widely used in back-end programming and have great job perspectives. You'd be surprised how many opportunities open up in programming once you know a bit of what you're capable of.

Look at it like this, bro. You've got an advantage that many other people don't have: you're not swayed by blind desire. So many people pursue fields in which they're passionate about and either fail or grow to hate their jobs because at the end of the day work is work. People who pursue their dreams have to live every day not having that dream but you? All you have to do is find a job that makes ends meet and allows you to pursue hobbies which you do enjoy. At the end of the day a job is work and work sucks ass. Even if you love your job the total enjoyment you receive out of it will only ever balance the shitty parts at best. Don't sweat what job you have, dude because it doesn't define you. All you gotta do is pick something with the hours, lifestyle and pay that suits you and then have fun doing all the shit you want to do outside of work :)

>> No.10703816

It doesn't matter what you're good at because nobody is expecting you to be good at anything, just get into any fucking job that accepts poor execution and an awesome salary. Marketing shill, sales, just be a whore for money, kiss ass and find someone that can give you access to meds. The money is in bullshitting your way into making others believe you're irreplaceable.

the problem is that many would answer "nothing" or just mindless entertainment and consumption. most people don't have some innate passion that they're dying to fulfill so trying to pick a career based on that myth is hell. better advice is to just do anything and make money and you'll learn more about what you like and don't like and adjust from there.

You can't decide beforehand. You'll have to try things, and just follow your instincts. Don't be afraid to quit if something doesn't feel right.
And if you don't like what you are doing at any time, always pay attention to what you would rather be doing instead.
It really doesn't matter where you start. Just pick the one that feels right, and go from there.

You're not alone, I had no idea what I truly wanted after school and dodged the bullet of going to university for the sake of it. Wagecucking for a few years and now most of the people I knew from school are back at square one in min wage jobs anyway, many graduates I've supervised flipping burgers kek
Philosophy and medicine are the only things I'm passionate about, one offers fuck all for career prospects and a complete waste of time paying to study, whilst the other is a huge commitment that would keep me tied to neverending work for the majority of my life.

As far as I'm concerned the biggest failures are those that go study without any ambition because they were told to, and end up in mcjobs with massive debt and years of their life wasted. So if you have no idea what you want to do, it's better to explore fully and commit yourself to something with a clear goal than dive headfirst into study without fully considering it

Alright I'll toss you niggas a bone. You can get a guaranteed job in any medical office or hospital as a sterilization technician. The cert takes a few months to learn and get AT MOST. The only requirement is room temperature IQ and negative drug use/criminal history.

Pros: High demand job nobody knows about, low barrier of entry, room for ladder climbing, comfortable for /r9k/ bots. It also looks god-tier on a resume if your interviewer has never heard of this easy af job. You get the prestige of working in a medical field without doing anything special.

Cons: Pretty garbage starting pay for how important the job is.
