Studying Japanese & linguistics. I have no idea

My ideal life is making just enough money to sustain myself from selling my art to people online. Making more than just enough to get by would be fine, but I like to keep my fantasies realistic (to a point). Plus if you start making too much money it means your fan base has grown to the point that you're technically famous, and fame is definitely something I'd want to avoid.

Watching anime doesn't count as studying

>>13793021
avoiding fame is very effay, you seem cool

>>13793186
except architect is /fa/ and structural engineer is stereotypical bald guy with pocket protector.

>>13793208
I've met and know multiple of fat misshapen architects, and I have worked alongside many in-shape and attractive structural engineers. Where is your God now?

>>13793192
It's not that I want to avoid fame in order to make myself seem mysterious or aloof, I just think it's creepy how the internet has completely destroyed the privacy of anyone who is even remotely famous. I'd just want to live my life the way I choose without having to worry about thousands of random people judging my every decision. I'm not sure if you'd still consider that effay, but if you do, thanks.

>>13793166
Fashion is very high risk high reward, but the school you're studying in is extremely relevant in this field. Where are you studying ?

As for me, Product Designer. Currently studying for my MSc, not planning on doing a PhD but who knows ?

I work as a writer. It's not very effay at all, but it pays the bills and I get to tell people I work full time as a writer. It's interesting because I work with all kinds of people and can basically do whatever the fuck I want to.

Mid level heroin dealer.

I buy wholesale in a major city on the west coast and drive it 350 miles into an extremely dry, desperate, rich, suburban sprawl. I invest 1000$ and turn it into 4000$ at least once a week.

Unfortunately my own addiction has currently sidelined my operation. However I am stabilizing on suboxone and will begin again without dipping into my own product whatsoever boosting my return from 4000$ to 5500$ per trip, per week.

I've dealt for years without using (see suboxone) and have lived off of this income and lifestyle for multiple years (off and on since 2010) without a hitch.

Is psychiatry /effay/?
In my opinion medicine in general is not fashionable.

>>13797105
You shouldn't give condescending opinions on a field if you have no insight as to how that field works. A structural engineer IS the licensed person responsible for design of any building. An architect is largely responsible for establishing a base-model floor plan, aesthetic fixtures, and the overall general form of a structure UNTIL passed onto a structural engineer, wherein massive changes are almost always required because, it turns out, most architectural programs in Universities don't require a single structural analysis or mechanics of materials class to graduate. This begets often erroneous interim "designs" that are more often than not, extremely expensive, moronically unsafe or a combination of both.

This isn't to say an architect is useless as they do in fact perform an integral part of any building design process; but outside of architects like Santiago Calatrava who have Structural Engineering licensure and degrees from a renowned engineering institutions, the overwhelming majority tend to be impractical and work against the interest of both all engineers involved (MEP, not just structural), but also the owner for "aesthetic reasons". This drives up the cost almost any contract and leads to someone like me to have to clean up their messes.

Eh not entirely true. I limit my interaction with customers to extremely brief time frames even for typical drug deals. It is a ten or fifteen second interaction each time and at most happens 5 times a day. I spend the rest of my time with friends and family. So your statement isn't anymore true for me than it is for anyone else.

>>13798108
I'm not whoever you responded to but

>most architectural programs in Universities don't require a single structural analysis or mechanics of materials class to graduate

In which third fucking country do you live ? Because I don't know a single Spatial Designer / Architect program nowadays that don't teach the basics of material, mechanics, and structural analysis to it's students.

Stop thinking being an architect is just doing cute drawings with purely aesthetic purposes. Hell I also hate interior/spatial designers and architect but you're just doing the same thing you told that guy not to do : giving your opinion on something you don't know about

>>13798154
Just because of lousy doctors fucking people's brain up with chemical does not mean the entirety of the field is flaud. Psychiatry can and has helped or improved the life quality of people with desease, thus making a viable medical field.

Look up the curriculum requirements of the top 5 ranked Architectural Undergraduate programs in the United States and you'll find with the exception of Cornell, their curriculum OVERWHELMINGLY consist of aerated dogshit. The vast majority of curriculum consists of studio, history, and urban planning classes- what little "structural analysis" courses or assignments they consist of involve incredibly trivial questions that seldom cover 3D statics, much less dynamics.

Goddamit motherfucker you have absolutely no idea what goes on in any respectable architecture university. Of course you'll never see a normal, good project of an architect because there's no structural problem to solve.

imagine believing any of what this retard >>13798173 just said

>>13798266
I know exactly what goes on in an architecture program, because I actually wanted to be one and was enrolled in one until I couldn't take the pretentiousness of it. Furthermore, I hung around friends I made who remained in the architecture program as a means of verifying to myself that I had in fact made a good decision. Their statics assignments were absolutely nothing, and anyone with even a modicum of math skills could solve them in 15 minutes or less, yet they more often than not struggled with them. Furthermore, you didn't refute ANY of my points, so you result to making insults lol

Was a high-school teacher for two years and it made me pretty unhappy. Quit and moved to Germany to be with my gf, and am just making coffee in a roastery at the moment, which was always something I enjoyed doing during uni.

No idea what the next five years of my life will look like though

>>13798155
Not what I meant. Let’s say you were hypothetically shot by another dealer, or stabbed by some smackhead, and it came out that you were a prominent dealer in the news after investigation.

Most people in your city or town would probably be happy, you know?

True enough but opinions held by others after my death mean nothing to me now. Also I would argue I conduct my business in a manner where I have a minimal probability of that happening. In fact it's probably just as likely as a normal bloke being robbed at gun point by some dopesick junkie. My odds are minimally worse than being random.

I sell to other dealers only all of which I keep close tabs on regarding their legal and financial and am aware of how severe their addiction progresses.

Just got offered an office job with the DA's office. Doing public sector for low stress and the great health insurance--I have a crooked jaw that requires surgery.

The objective way to measure people is by how much they earn, anything else isn't relevant, because it doesn't produce real results but happy feels.

I was a high school English teacher but I’m burnt out with all the bullshit that actually gets in the way of teaching kids. I switched to financial advising and it’s significantly better. I network a lot and see a variety of people in varying social settings. I’m no longer in a highly feminized environment that promotes trans acceptance, lack of all morals by accepting everything, cynical negative teachers, shitty parents who complain about how their kid lost credit, didn’t know that the assignment was due Tuesday. It’s on the fuckin paper. And online. And in your email. Entitled fucks. Teaching in America is whack. Standardized tests that have no measurement of intelligence that I need to teach for. Fuck common core. But i miss working with the students, they gave me energy to persist through all the garbage.
