Good morning my dear chaps. I pray you have a long hard day of “work”in front of you?

Why’s on your agenda today?

For me:
>30 minutes sending emails
>7 hours and 30 minutes of WHATEVER I WANT

This thread is soul crushing and inspiring at the same time. I work in engineering and wear a mask for 40hrs a week, have never worked a single day from home in my life. I come to this thread every day to support the wfh chads and seek guidance.
So again: what does a semi intelligent white man with an engineering degree do to work from home and make good money? Is self taught coding/IT certs a realistic career path? Are there finance or sales (software) jobs that will hire a guy with no direct experience? I’ve been working since I graduated 2 years ago. I hate engineering.

My issue is that I’ve only worked in manufacturing, which is extremely hands on and requires me to be at the office/plant. Design jobs are sometimes wfh but I have no experience :/

Almost any job that just requires sitting at a computer can be done from home these days so broaden your understanding of what a work from home job is. I am in “operations” and made 85K last year. I work about an hour a day. It takes a while before your company will trust you enough to work completely from home it helps if you have a niche that others don’t fully understand.

That’s why I’m in this thread genius. Are you in design or what? Wfh is antithetical to manufacturing, which is what I’m stuck in.

Its more custom and specialized than just putting a picture on a website and running traffic to albaba shit.

I collect leads from fb traffic. Then I drop my product like Supreme where they have to buy first come first serve. I sell 6k units. Now I invented a VIP list that costs a 2k deposit to see my inventory first. Now I have boomers racing to put thousands of dollars in my pocket. Every email I send makes me like 20k.

I still have to do a lot of work from home, but its nice to not have to drive anywhere.

>Host conference calls for boomers and show them how to use basic communication tools.
>Build phone systems
>Troubleshoot home set ups for users remotely; most I gotta do is log into their home networks and play with their routers
>Write documentation
>Chat up office ladies on the phone

This telecom job only paying 18 an hour, but its my first tech gig, and I started working right as corona hit. I got so much good shit for a resume, and I get customers emailing my boss telling me what a good wagie I am. Feels good bouncing back at 30 from a ten year NEET stint.

The problem with "learn2code" is you have to find a niche where you're indispensible and supply/demand is in favour. Your random "full stack webdev" out there leads a pretty shitty life.
A lot of the best coding jobs either sound super boring so no one trains for them out of college (databases) or require PhD degrees (actual, non-meme machine learning).
In both cases, huge barriers to entry.
