What's actually the best degree? I fucked up and got a useless one

Same here. Now I'm a medical technologist making $25/hr, the same as fucking warehouse workers, while watching everything around me become more automated and living in poverty. Biology is a fucking meme and I didn't listen please kill me.

I don't have a plan I just shitpost. Learning a completely different subject like coding seems too daunting and I'm sure by this point low tier comp jobs are saturated plus the whole AI meme. Imagining even attempting to get accepted for a higher degree like MD at 30 sounds crazy. I thought learning about finance could help my little amount of money work for me but I haven't logged into my fidelity account in a month. Finance and the stock market are beyond me. I just work my ass off for pennies and come back to my trash tier apartment and sleep and then drink myself to sleep on the weekends. I have no goals and no advice. I've wasted this one life.

That itself sounds like the problem. Not having some prestigious or high paying job isn't really an issue.

If you’re a midwit right hander egghead and can’t into anything creative, it’s lmao STEM. Select any because it literally won’t matter.

If you’re a high iq creative (left handers preferred) anything in the arts. Yes, even though you don’t need the degree you’re going for connections

t. MA in guitar and music composition; play classical professionally, teach, and compose for others; 180k

Your degree got you out of the warehouse and the retail store, wagie.
It doesn't guarantee you have the makings of someone who deserves to be paid more.
It's just business.

Construction/trade work is relatively easy if you avoid the dumb shit. Do not do roofing, carpet-laying, sheetrocking, or framing and siding if it's multistory (single floor residential is pretty safe). Plumbing, HVAC, foundation work, tiling/countertops, and painting are going to be safer and often make more money than the other areas.

Factory work isn't like the 1960s anymore, they are so starved of good help that if you have even halfway decent work ethic, have no drug or tardiness problems, and have any eye for quality/attention to detail, and you will be in the top 20% of employees easily.

If you have a meme degree, it might help to consider an unrelated (but much better) occupation instead of sunk-costing yourself to stay in a low-tier email job or trying to double down with even more advanced meme degrees. It's also probably not psychologically healthy for males to be working female jobs.

I make $6000 a month robbing homeless addicts of the shit they stole from lefties and selling it on ebay.

I literally just ride a scooter around town looking for nice bikes locked up in homeless camps or parked outside the library, air tag them, then grab them at night.

4 to 8 bikes a month gets me ~ $6000.

Helps if you bring a friend, carry pepper spray, and you can defend yourselves unarmed and armed.

Occassionally this
