How do I achieve Bateman mode?

[Anonymous No.12322199]

In terms of his financial status. I'm currently in uni and don't know what to major in. Should I major in CS, do a double major in CS and Stats, CS and math, CS and bio, biotech...etc? I want to work for a big tech or investing/insurance company. Basically I want to be that successful office dude that makes it into top of management earning over 200k in his mid-late 20s.

I heard biotech is gonna become big like CS is now but idk. I don't have the money to go to med school so I actually have to major in something useful for my undergraduate.

Sorry for calling you a faggot dude.

I feel like if you go down this wealth & status path out of some weird parentally-driven inferiority complex, you'll end up topping yourself.

There are many paths of disconnecting from your parents expectations that don't involve LARPing as Patrick Bateman. The book was a satire, not a model to aspire to.

You should seek introspection. Read some philosophers, speak to a counsellor, do LSD, go on a backpacking trip or something. Not that you have to be a dropout -- earning a good wage is a sensible goal, to support yourself & build a stable financial future.

But judging by your posts you're an emotional mess. The way you write, it's dripping with insecurity. You need to invest in yourself, spiritually, before trying to do whatever it is you think you want to do. I guarantee if you continue down this path you're going to get used and abused by the genuine Patrick Bateman-types that exist in our world.

You're such a brainlet if this isn't a larp. You've got like the opposite of self awareness. You don't care about your own happiness? You want to please the expectations of others that barely give a shit? Just stop. The ruthless drive anyone from the lower middle class needs to get into the upper is beyond you - you need to want it for your own sake. And if you did, you'd know how to get there - just go to an ivy league college, major in business and network the shit out of things to get into the right position. Then work your way up, playing byzantine office politics until you reach your goal. That's it. Go nuts.

To add on to this, I like working towards a goal. Example of this is lifting. I don't lift for a girlfriend or to obtain a relationship with someone because I'm scared of intimacy with a stranger. I just want to be happy in my own skin which means lots of lean body mass and fairly low BF percent as well as appearing to be more respectable since normies perceive being fit as having discipline and attractive.

So you see the only way I'll feel happy in my own skin if I obtain the goal of appearing to be well off by being:

>Financially successful with prestigious job
>Healthy appearance (fit)

I don't give a shit about having a qt3.14 gf like everyone else on 4chins fantasizes about because I have no reaction or desire to be intimate with a partner because that would require sharing my feeling or revealing my small penor

I live in a province in Canada and made it into the best uni in the province because quite frankly they're only 2 decent unis in it. The business program in the uni I go to sucks as they don't have many connections compared to a school in a different province (UT). So law/ business is not an option.

OP, thirst thing you have to do is immunize yourself to jelly wankers like people in this thread.

If you want to be someone like bateman, you'd better steer away from nerd-type subjects like science. They are conterproductive to your goal of being a manager, but not forbidding.

Your best bet would be to not get into a subject, but into the quality of the school. There focus on having connections and get into being social and being comfortable with people enough to influence their actions. This is an often underrated concrete skill.

If we are speaking about raw subjects, I'd go with CS and Biotech. There will be a merging of the two in the not distant future.

I would never go postal because even I feel bad and guilty for things I don't even do. Like one time some guy tried scamming me for my credit card saying things like "oh I can't get home can I just use your credit card so me and my girlfriend have money to go home. I knew it was a scam because I've seen him in the same area everyday trying to scam other people. But even though the story he told is fake I felt bad for him and was sad that he had to resort to this.

tl;dr: I would never go "norman bates" postal cause I'm too scared with hurting others which is the reason I'm scared to drive cars too because I don't accidentally want to hit someone.

You are a normie though. Know why? You live your life to please others. You even lift for the wrong reasons ffs.

You're missing the point, so let me be more explicit. You're a peasant - you will NEVER be some Bateman type. Sorry to break it to you, so are most of us. It's just not gonna work that way. You aren't at the right school. You need to bust your ass making the right connections - and even then, since you're obviously a middle-class peasant you probably won't get anywhere. You know why everyone here wants to be self-employed, even if it's just rich from shitcoins? Because that's how you leapfrog all of that & go to the head of the pack.

Yeah I kind of have a dilemma. I don't want to please others but I want to please myself by appearing to have "made it" and achieving things that people would consider me uncap able of.

and by pleasing myself I mean being someone who if I saw on the street I would say: " yeah I wish I was like him". So basically to please myself I just want to appear to have made if from surface level (fit and good job) but don't care about what most people consider to pleasing oneself ( a loving relationship).

Only do one degree and be really good at it (shoot for 4.0 GPA). Minors are optional but not necessary. I would definitely take an upper-division stats class. Having two degrees will dilute it on paper. You're essentially working twice as hard, for half the buck, if you get what I mean. Normie peasants like myself did this and I learned my lesson, don't make the same mistake I did.

For a guy your temperament and drive, I would definitely recommend Amazon. Ideally, go into Fintech since Amazon will be opening a HQ2 office in NYC (Long Island City) very soon. Even if you're not that great with computers, you could switch over to a PM role and get an MBA later on. Getting a CS undergrad will get you that tech foundational cred.

should I try to transfer into business faculty instead of science and take some CS or stats are a minor then? @ my school business students have a big reputation but 90% end up with normal jobs despite that faculty being one of the top business schools in my country. However 10% of those students do "make it" and work for big firms earning 200k and over.

Honesty, I believe you're right about CS further creating the type of person I already am. Perhaps I could change it though and become more charismatic even if its just an act. In the past people do say that they can trust me and call me a "chill" person to talk to despite me barely saying anything, barely knowing that person and plus losing my spaghetti on the inside. Another example is that when I was working a part time job, my co workers and boss all really liked me and keep asking if I'll come back even for a day after I quit and ask if I'll come to their party. However, I'm terrified that they won't like me if I go back to working there and that I'll break the "illusion"
