Something, usually a company or business, pays you to see if something works. You try it. Then you tell them whether or not it works. The outcome doesn't matter to you, since you get paid either way. Sometimes they offer to pay you to lie about whether or not it works, and you should only do it if you're sure you'll never work anywhere else. So, any scientist under 50 should always tell the truth.

House paid off. Teach a variety of courses at random colleges remotely. Use the majority of that income to throw into investments. Pretty nice. Looking forward to when restrictions are lifted and I can go explore museums and random breweries during my days.

I did IT for a call center for a while. Mostly problems with call software/virtual phone or the database. My company worked mostly for hospitals acting as their accounting/collections department. I quit a few years ago because sitting at a desk all day was killing my will to live.

Screening hundreds of cellular targets to identify ones which, when treated with a certain compound, causes a certain response. I then analyze the response and after enough data is collected, I send it off to the next team for follow-up experiments.

I'm 28 and basically ignored school all my life until I was 25 and took a two year marketing diploma. Turns out I hate marketing, now I'm either looking at starting a business or continuing to learn to code and getting a coding gig. Thoughts?

I think I just kind of hate wageying though. Like, I don't have a problem with actually doing work but having to wake up at 6am every day and put on specific clothes and commute 45 minutes to mr. shekelbergs office only to do an hour and a half of work and pretend to look busy makes me wanna off either everyone in the company or myself, you know?

this list is dogshit tbqhwyf. There are very few jobs you can get with aero that you can't get with mechanical, whereas the opposite is extremely prevalent. And chemical has NO job prospects, for real. Move civil up, chemical to shit tier, electronics to where civil was, and get rid of the top tier, because engineering actually sucks for money. Also put mechatronics in shit tier lol.

I was thinking the same thing today. It's not like I'd want a retry at life because life can be infinitely more shitty than my current situation. I wish the rules were different, like a whole different universe with different constants. I wish I was a machine who assembled things somewhere else, idk. It sounds pretty autistic but humans are just too flawed.

At the high end of the IQ scale the tests make less and less sense and are less capable of scoring what we generally think of as "intelligence." Although yes, you are right, the society would be completely transformed. We just have the bare minimum average IQ to form a functioning civilization (because once you reach that IQ, you eventually form your civilization before further progressing).
