The only real answer to your question is to start building a collection of money-earning skills now. Programming is a great start and can be applied in most jobs. Writing well is another one. Practical skills like handyman work is another. These will all help build social networks which will help you choose a career path through exposure to successful people IRL instead of daytrade larps on various phosphorescent honeypot sites like this one

[Anonymous No.18920232]

Got a bit of experience with skills like that, only real question is which ones are worth getting formal qualifications in.

I'm sure my ASIO agent is very upset to see what I'm posting. Any advice for safely using this honeypot?

Learn as many coding languages as you can, master a couple that you enjoy.
Bonus - learn how to program in verilog and configure FPGAs, you'll be set for life and be able to live anywhere.

chainlink. remember that for every million people that got work jobs, there are at least 1000 that have became millionaires over stocks or random businesses or exploiting a loophole. Crypto is not the future, it's already here. Time is an illusion. If you cannot see the foundations put in place, you don't see the present. Invest in chainlink and BTC and forget this socetial notion of a "career" or a "job". These are restrictions imposed on a society that needs slaves, you are not a slave, because you are here.

the answer is that none of them are worth getting formal qualifications in. nobody cares about your degree, they care about what you can do, or who you are. the latter is the only reason you should care one bit about going to a G8 uni: networking. it matters. if you want to pull yourself up the social ladder - and it sounds like you're not too high up it to begin with - then you're going to have to meet people who have social capital and impress them. you're not braindead if you're at a good uni, and you're almost asking the right questions, but don't imagine that your major has any significance unless you want a very long, very boring career in some government office. pick something, get good at it, then show it off to anyone and everyone who gives you the time of day

at 25 I wanted to start a tech company

what you want to do changes, the world also changes, do something you will want to do for 40 years, college lets you get a feel for different career paths, you are 18 don't take life serious you have the rest of your life to worry about finances, seriously don't do things strictly for the money it becomes very unfulfilling, you can do/be many things in life don't limit yourself either

That's the problem I suppose. I don't particularly like spending time socialising with most students and going out to nightclubs. Networking with people I don't like seems like one of the worst forms of wage slavery, extending beyond even the office.

if you don't like socialising with your peers then you're never going to be successful in anything that requires other people's support. so pick something that lets you insulate yourself from the world. see how far you get

OP, this guy >>18920592 is mostly right. You have your whole life to be a fuckup, try to do it all in the next 4-5 years.
I assume you're fairly bright and you have a tech/STEM leaning if you're at a Go8 for school. If that's the case, you can't really just fuck about for 2 years finding a major since you'll need to declare and specialize pretty early. When I was applying to schools 10 years ago I didn't know whether to list Chemistry or Chemical Eng. as my presumptive major, and its not like I understood what they really did or what kinds of careers they led to.
I promised myself that if I absolutely hated Chem Eng (and I mean hated, not didn't want to work, didn't like my profs, I woke up every day and wanted to die) I would change. I also swore I'd never to grad school.

Well, it was hard, but I had profs suggest that maybe I could do undergrad research for them, which I had never considered. I actually spent a year working full time in an off campus lab doing real research, which is where I met a couple of researchers who really pushed me to consider graduate work and to look at certain schools.

If I hadn't just dove into the deep end, I'd never have learned I could really hack it, I'd have never been pushed to go to grad school where I did, I'd never have met the people I did there, I'd have never been throw into a new place where I knew no body, and I'd never have found a 2nd family of good people there.

You can spend a lot of time discerning yourself in circles OP, but sometimes you just see what you can do. And remember if you hate it to death you're young and can find something else. And your mom will still love you.

i didn't say you had to go nightclubbing with the worst lot of people you can friend. Make. Friends. it's that simple. make friends with people who have similar interests as you and you'll support each other through a lot of different struggles, and be there to congratulate each other on your successes. is it worth it? pointless question. what else are you going to do? you have no plan, you're "directionless," as you say, so your alternative seems to be, uh, nothing? pursue your interests, and make something. you need to create to have any value in the world.

It's more enjoyable than you think. It's like minmaxing in an RPG except instead of killing rats you grind by talking to Stacy about how her travel photography is fascinating and you'd love to meet her banker dad to discuss how he set her up as CEO of her very own charity. You can learn an astonishing amount this way and it's very rewarding

I actually tried thinking of it that way about a year ago. Skills improved but still just apprentice level.

Why not the STEM meme? I honestly enjoy programming and reading about physics, though just doing that would leave me dissatisfied.

[Anonymous No.18921553]

>>18921141
Bear with me here because I am 7 cups of coffee deep and my thoughts are all over the place as a result.

Jobs in STEM are shitty, underpaid, and require you to have a ridiculous amount of technical knowledge to simply make the cut at an entry level position, so to speak. Your smarts would make you an absolute killer in the business world.

Anecdote: I started off as a CS major, found the course load to be dry and uninteresting so I switched to Bio-Physics (lots of coding and modeling cool shit in nature with computers). Got some internships and a research position during my studies that really opened my eyes to the STEM meme. Bounced around a couple of private sector jobs after I graduated and called it quits. The STEM field relies on people who are willing to get stepped on and walked all over with little care for money for it to stay alive. Literal nerd types.

Made a career switch and went into marketing after I found out that the industry is in dire need of people who understand analytics. I'm quite literally seen as a god among men at work since I work with a lot of soiboi creative types. Coming back full circle and keeping it relevant to your situation, finance and accounting would have made me more valuable since marketing and analytics is piss easy to learn. Been taking some online accountancy and finance courses so I can become a $250k/year project manager and do nothing.

TL;DR: Business is about the numbers and no one in business is actually competent with numbers. They're all fakers and retards.

Sounds about right. I was hard STEM in HS but moved away from it at uni because of how I've seen smart people stepped on by the fakers and retards. I guess what happens is smart people actually care about the work, which distorts the supply vs demand against them.

To be honest I was quite shocked just how dumb some of the people in my supposedly prestigious degree are, especially compared to the nerd types I know in STEM degrees.

>250k/year to do nothing
That's the sort of job I'm after. If finance is the one to take me there (with a couple stats courses tucked in for good measure), then I guess it's the one for me. To actually get into those jobs, do you just intern at a bank, wage for a few years here and there then apply for management?

Join the army for 5 years or get a degree in the army if it's possible in Australia. Afterwards you are still only 23yo and you'll already have made a nice pile of cash, which you can still use to get another degree or learn a trade or whatever the fuck you want. Also, make sure to invest a certain amount of money each month once you're on a payroll.
