Cant git a JOB!

[Anonymous No.15415737]

I'm a 40yo guy with two degrees, one in physics and one in electronics.
I'm here because I'm terminally unemployed and single.

The crazy part is that I dont know ANYTHING about technology. I dont own a smartphone or social media accounts. I honestly couldn't tell you what 5G means or what a router is. You could even say that I hate technology because all the latest tech is being used to just spy on people.
People with my education usually become code monkeys or something like that but I don't know anything about coding (because I hate coding passionately), so there's no place for me in the job market. I might as well apply for carpentry at this point.
And I'm too old to do a complete 180 and get a new degree.

Any tips? I know the basics of coding and web developing but it's apparently not enough and I refuse to learn it any further because I dont want to be some devil's henchman working for Google, devising new ways to steal people's data. I didnt start studying physics to become a web design complicator for fuck's sake!

You are basically me except I am a biologist. What are 40+ jobless chads to do? I look at AI big titty images to cope.

I cope with Tiktoks where zoomer girls cosplay and dance. Sigh. This is what STEM guys do these days apparently.

I wonder what 40 year old childless loser women do to cope. Maybe they just drink wine and are bitchy af.

Why did you do it then? Thousands of people graduate with physics degrees all over the world every year so it's not really that special. Some physicists seem to think they're super genius but getting the degree is easy compared to making an actual groundbreaking contribution to the field

Anyway. I've done carpentry, got an engineering degree and now I work as a programmer. Carpentry is gay. If you're a thinking man it will make you depressed. It will probably be fun for a few months but it's not difficult and after a while you'll find you're just trapped at work every day with nothing to really think about because it's not the kind of job that requires much thinking so unless if you're fine with being mentally extremely bored all day every day then you'll probably get depressed. Programming is pretty much the opposite, you're constantly thinking and it can get fairly complex and the days go faster because your mind is occupied all day

Just learn a trade. Electronics can be a trade, become a technician of some sort. How do you make it to 40 in such state? What did you do in the past 15 years?

What kind of answer do you expect? Concrete stances like yours about not becoming a codemonkey due to idealism are always just the tip of the attitude iceberg. It seems like you are in general unwilling to a) compromise and b) pick up new experiences/skills. If you are hostile to new stuff, how can your life conform to it being filled with new stuff relating to a career?
Either your entire attitude changes, or just keep applying to very underpaid electronics posts. Maybe you can become some quality control/foreman in an electronics factory.

This is how you get jobs now. So get on it.

Programming is fun for a while but even that gets old. Robotics is also an option but that requires working with technology which most physics and math schizos don't seem to like

There's nothing good about syndicating employment into smartphones. Once I get out of this hell via my fucking smartphone I will push forward to crush video interviewing and other employment enabling smartphone activities. The smartphone is a curse that crushes all but the highest of society who use it for fun. It's super gay.

How about looking for work in a field you do know something about? Try being a teacher if all else fails.

I have a physics degree and I actually enjoy programming quite a bit, and I still can't get an entry-level code monkey job because I have no professional experience in the field. I have little projects on my GitHub but nothing enterprise grade. I must've sent out 1000 resumes at this point.

No one wants your resumes just make a website with some functional programs and then show them you actually have programming skills, no one wants to teach you anything they want you to do things that they tell you and hope you figure it out.

>Degree in electronics
There's no such degree. You can't even designate your degree properly and still expect to be hired? It's electrical engineering, electronics is a unit in the course. It's like saying that you have a degree in computers which makes you come off as an uneducated hillbilly.

Have you considered founding your own startup? Now that the tech giants are swinging the axe, it is easier than ever before to get hold of skilled people.
