Just broke up with my gf, my 3D printer broke yesterday and I closed my Shopify store due to legal reasons. I’m not sure what I’m doing after college. I really want to avoid being a wagie so I’m working in a new business plan. I’ve also been looking at day trading crypto but I’m scared of being raped by taxes.

Recently graduated in Dec so I figure this would help

2 yrs at Community College to save money and I had a landscaping business that took up most of my time.
2 yrs at my State school
Majored in MIS with a 2.0 GPA
Graduated w no debt
Got a job as a jr data analyst (contract position) at a large healthcare firm

Long story short, GPA is a meme unless you're going for internships or hyper competitive companies post grad (interviewers asked but I lied and said it was a 2.7).
Just have a degree and be personable and show that you can work on a team and you'll get a job

Pretty good. Going to my final year which people say is easy mode after the third year so I'll really only need to focus on my thesis, and I have a part-time job in finance that I hope to leverage into a very nice position when I get my degree.

My plan is simply to graduate so finish my thesis and do the other stuff and keep my job at least for the entire year.

take out cash and use an ATM in and out to be fully off the grid. There is a fee but it's better than taxes. Of course take the money out as little as possible to avoid the haircut; buy items in crypto when possible. Keep it in Dai when you want to "cash out" from trading.

Life is rough. I've been working at the same job for almost 10 years now. I used to love my job, but now, I hate it. It's filled with all these asshole kids and I just want to leave.

I'm 25 and back in school. I failed/dropped a bunch of classes, so now I have to start all over again. I'm hoping I can finish and just get a good job. I feel like my business admin major is shit though, so I feel like I will have a hard time getting a job after graduation. I was a finance major before, but I switched because I'm too much of a brainlet.
Idk guys I feel like I'm just too dumb to get a real job. I get distracted easily, I have a hard time with my studies, and my social skills suck, so I can't network with people. I feel like I will be stuck in this same job for the rest of my life.

20 year old here. Staying pretty busy. Currently on track to achieve a 4.0 this year, trying to get involved in various clubs/meetups to see what my main interests are. Switched my major from English/history to accounting/finance. Thankfully I did that early enough so that it wasn't much of a pain. Unfortunately I also have to wage cuck at a uni receptionist job, but it's literally the easiest shit imaginable so I can't complain. Current plan is to study hard, become a CPA, and make bank, live frugal, invest most of my money and grow my wealth. My mom was also a CPA so she has connections so it'll be easy to get a job lined up after college. I don't particular have a passion for accounting but it just makes sense. I can pursue my writing on the side, hopefully be able to retire early.

Personal life, just trying to have fun. Still go to parties, wanna get /fit/ so I can bang some hotties. Hopefully meet the right girl after I've had my fun, get a nice job, a house, and raise a family.

It boggles me most of my peers really aren't thinking about the future...at all. It's like they think college will go on forever. But all in all, despite how hard it feels sometimes and how tired i am...i think i'm happy.

Life right now is good. Contemplated suicide throughout high school for 4 years straight, only got out of it during last 2 years because of an old dude that saw me often at the rail tracks during breaks. Out of depression now, got a gf (only girl i ever kissed, lost virginity at 22 lol), accepted to Oxford University for grad studies and will very likely graduate with a 4.0 GPA. People told me I would be an absolute failure throughout the first 17-18 years in my life, me wanting to prove them wrong made me what I am today. Perhaps a petty reason to work hard, but it worked for me.

Also got an investment banking internship lined up, which will probably fuck me up good. At least I am used to it. Hope to enter high finance after Oxford.

Quit my chemistry PhD at Xmas, two years in. Felt like it was golden ticket when I started, quickly felt my career prospects dwindle and quickly becoming a wagie funneled into academia.

Boss was super chill and helpful, now I have until summer to hand in a masters thesis so I get something for my two years investment. Using this time off to learn to code and going to start an MSc in computer science next Sept.

Very salty that I wasted two years but so far it's going pretty smoothly, learning lots in programming projects so I should have a good head start for the comp sci masters. Doing private tuition 20 hrs a week for rich kids which already pays double my PhD stipend. So overall pretty content.
