They contribute the upfront capital and take on the risks associated with property management.
There are no risks to land ownership. It is a guaranteed money doubler long term. Operating costs are not a risk. This is why landlording isn't actually a career. They don't even understand math or finance and hire other people to do all the real work. They're in bed with government that's how they make money - low interest rates, fiat, and quantitative easing

Friendly reminder that the minimum wage in 1971 was $1.60/hr. According to the feds cpi this is $11.50 today. According to real inflation models this is $30.75 in today's money. You can continue saying that global fiat will keep working but this system has only existed since 1971, it's been 52 years. That doesn't exactly seem long enough to know for sure that fiat currency can survive indefinitely, does it? The soviets lasted 69 years. The question doesn't have to be what made up fiat currency will replace it but rather if any fiat currency will be accepted at all whatsoever after a global economic collapse.

Not with central banking they don't. You leverage current assets to take out a loan at an artificially low interest rate and then you find people with no assets to pay your loan off and snowball equity from. If the fed has interest rates at 0% and you sign at 3% and you charge 150% of your 15 year mortgage. All you need is the assets and credit to gain second degree access to the fed window. Worried about insuring the property? Good thing renters insurance exists.

I'd argue you're wrong. Law is an argumentative arms race where the government sets the payment as in-person hours in front of a judge. As the things the law fights over get more and more contentious (read: the near and foreseeable future), more and more actual lawyers will be needed in front of actual judges.

most of legal industry is all about not seeing the judge, at all, especially if you are on the commercial side of things and not criminal/penal. you go into an office, draft and oversee contracts between parties, arrange legal affairs and go back home. again, most offices will have dedicated litigation lawyers who go to court if needed, and 2x-3x more lawyers who are essentially glorified officeworkers
if you are a good lawyer, you can omit from courthouse entirely, if you want to.

Here's the thing, the prior cases across the US are all a matter of record and can be fed into the models as well. A lot of legal cases are argued based on judgement precedents. Actually, a model should be able to tell you the odds of winning based on prior arguments and strategies.

The PhD itself has been an absolute blast. It's a lot of work but I've had a lot of fun. I love teaching, I get to occasionally travel (on the university's dime) for conferences, and I've met a lot of cool people. We'll see if I survive the market though.

there are other factors at play but COVID-19 and doing my masters in an english speaking country drastically altered my career options

Data Analyst though I’m more like a data engineer who doesn’t get paid well Kek. Can’t complain though. Started in sales and I wanted to blow my brains out. What a privilege it is to now be doing software engineering related tasks. Soon enough I can jump to an actual data engineer job and get paid more. In the meantime I wake up every day and thank God almighty these kinds of jobs exist. I think it would be a great path for people who visit IST, it’s all about being autistic in your approach to your work and making sure all your ducks are in a row so nothing breaks. It seems like my years spent organizing my life around following a weightlifting routine have helped me in this regard.
Really only took me ~5 years but I've had a weird career. What got me to that level was joining a couple of startups back to back where I worked long days and most weekends but got to build things the way I wanted. Learned a lot of hard lessons about how to properly build and scale software that you can't learn quickly at a proper company because they'd know better than to let a mid-level engineer design their whole system end to end.
[...]
How long it take you to get to that level? I am hoping to buy a house at some point in my life. I’m the anon who’s a DA right now > t. Bay Areagay
Is there a way to get a data analyst job without getting a postgrad degree? I have a biology bachelor's degree and I'm not looking to rack up more debt right now. Is there certs the industry takes seriously?
Do you have a job? If so, the easiest way and the way i did is to reach out to the person in charge of data/engineering division and simply get your name in there. Odds are they won’t have an opening right then but you could offer to do some extra work for them then when there’s an opening they’ll choose you. And while you wait do some certs, they’ll be pumped to take someone they know vs a stranger who for all they know is lying on their resume. It’s worked out great for me. Remember though I get paid jack for the Bay Area (80k) but at least I’m on a decent path to being able to have a family. Like i said, if you like coming here this would be a great job for you most likely

You are genuinely wasting some of the best years of your life and have already done so for far too long.

What makes it even worse is that all of your misery at this point is and has for some time been solely a result of your own decisions.
Not financial advice, do with this info what you will.
I’m not wasting my best years, I have wasted them. And I will never get the years back. Even if I get anything now it doesn’t matter because of what I’ve wasted. I’m not “longing” for death ironically, Im the most incomprehensibly pathetic and miserable person on this entire board and my life really can’t get any worse. I deliberately come into career threads to read about how successful and rich everyone else here is so I can get even more miserable and hopefully something will drive me to actually to kill myself.

Going 31 years with zero life development socially or financially is unrecoverable. I don't even care anymore because life is over. I already get more suicide fuel elsewhere for the social losses and I will just continue coming into the career threads that get posted, keep reading how rich, smart, and successful everyone here is and hopefully at some point the drive to suicide will be too much to overcome and I will finally get peace.

If you don't make a change all of it is going to slip by you and your longing for death won't even be slightly ironic. Life on an individual level after the Neolithic Revolution is most often a series of events in which people see how much bullshit they can dump on you and how you respond to all of this as it happens. What makes it even worse is that all of your misery at this point is and has for some time been solely a result of your own decisions.
Not financial advice, do with this info what you will.
I'm unemployed, 24 and never made more than $20 per hour. Least you have a secure job with decent pay, I've been looking for work for 4 months and no luck, I thought being khhv and no friends was bad but being a broke poorgay is literally the worst thing possible, moreso than any disease or condition. I definitely will kill myself by 30 if I can't even find a job making at least 60k per year
I am in a worse position than you. THe funny thing is that een if I did get a good job and career, the money wouldn't matter. I have no financial goals. Don't care about owning a home or rental properties, retirement, nothing. I don't buy anything because I don't care about anything.

There are no risks to land ownership. It is a guaranteed money doubler long term. Operating costs are not a risk. This is why landlording isn't actually a career. They don't even understand math or finance and hire other people to do all the real work. They're in bed with government that's how they make money - low interest rates, fiat, and quantitative easing

Okay buddy. And what in your little head do you think is going to replace the dollar? Yuan? Rubles? BRICS btw. Lmao. You doomsday Black folk are delusional.
Fact of the matter is, if you don’t want to trade in dollars, you can go play in your own little court but nobody is going to give a shit about you.
>Fact of the matter is, if you don’t want to trade in dollars, you can go play in your own little court but nobody is going to give a shit about you.
Friendly reminder that the minimum wage in 1971 was $1.60/hr. According to the feds cpi this is $11.50 today. According to real inflation models this is $30.75 in today's money. You can continue saying that global fiat will keep working but this system has only existed since 1971, it's been 52 years. That doesn't exactly seem long enough to know for sure that fiat currency can survive indefinitely, does it? The soviets lasted 69 years. The question doesn't have to be what made up fiat currency will replace it but rather if any fiat currency will be accepted at all whatsoever after a global economic collapse.
Currency collapses, guess what? US still has the most advanced military in the world. Nukes will never be used in combat unless some lunatic manages to get a hold of them, and even then sane people will likely stop them from making the entire world an uninhabitable radioactive desert.
American media is pumping out tHe EnD oF tHe pEtRodollar memes to psych thirdies into believing they have a chance.
China has an untested military with zero expertise in modern combat engagements. At best they take Taiwan in the next 10 years but there’s no way tsmc fabs arent being wiped clean by the US before retreating. They’re already building plants here in the states.
The writing is on the wall. You’re being fed doomsday memes because clickbait generates views.

Funny that you don’t often hear about said inheritance investors leaving much of anything for their own kids. Almost as though these people grow up as moronic do-nothings who aspire to landlord and watch television with their extra 40 hours a week, then surprise surprise, money goes poof when they spend it all on vacations, boats, and takeout.
>then surprise surprise, money goes poof when they spend it all on vacations, boats, and takeout.
That's a weird way to say spend it on their 3 marriages/divorces then dementia care old folks home that costs $12k/mo as they live there for 6 years.
>The risk is the dollar finally collapses or they raise the fake interest rates to what they should be ~20% and then housing prices collapse. Even better would be destroying zoning laws and private building codes.

Wrong. Current risks in the city I live near include but are not limited to

>eminent domain from said moronic city and county
>insane permitting systems, meaning land can't easily be developed for return on capital

That's not even wrapping heads around the demographic decline currently hitting the western world and what population sizes will look like in 30 years for the US.
>buying real estate in a liberal shithole
Surely nobody is this stupid
Yes, they are. I have bad news for you though. Liberal shitholes are becoming the new norm where real estate is hottest.
Real estate is hottest in Arizona, Texas, and Florida.
Arizona and Texas are turning purple, Austin is just as bad culturally as any west coast festering hole. Florida probably won't have issues.
not that anon but if I understand this stuff right, a little steer towards affluent-leftwing lifestyle should be good for business right? for a while, at least

How about you invest it on companies, therefore contributing to something productive? How about building a business? You could be offering products and jobs, but instead you are all just lazy parasites
They contribute the upfront capital and take on the risks associated with property management.
Not with central banking they don't. You leverage current assets to take out a loan at an artificially low interest rate and then you find people with no assets to pay your loan off and snowball equity from. If the fed has interest rates at 0% and you sign at 3% and you charge 150% of your 15 year mortgage. All you need is the assets and credit to gain second degree access to the fed window. Worried about insuring the property? Good thing renters insurance exists.

Everyone who works for a university is a welfare queen child. I mean it's fine but the people who are actual movers in industry look down on professors for being mediocre ticks
Don't do this. The academic job market is hell on earth with 500 people competing for a single position at Buttfrick State University. Simply applying is a part-time job on its own. Also, you will NOT have a "very free and relaxed" lifestyle that you have now. Keep doing the admin work you're doing now, but add in research and teaching duties, because that's what a professor does. Unless you're head honcho with an endowed chair, you're gonna be on a million committees slaving away for the university. Unless you REALLY like the subject, do not do it.

Majority of lawyers will be replaced by LLMs. Unless you actually do investigative work the phone calls for consultation on books and loopholes will be replaced.
>Majority of lawyers will be replaced by LLMs.
LLMs can't represent a client in court or offer dynamic responses to probing judicial arguments.
Some support paralegals may lose their jobs. If you're even remotely involved with going to court you'll be fine.
T. Softwaregay.
I'd argue after 3-5 years in the industry 75% of lawyers dont see insides of a court, ever. especially in common law jurisdictions
most big law firms will have 100 lawyer consultancy departments and 10-man litigation offices
idk how hard LLMs will hit law but its a bubble and it will be hit, hard
funny thing, law masters degrees are also called LLMs, so inside joke is
>LLMs will kill LLMs
>I'd argue after 3-5 years in the industry 75% of lawyers dont see insides of a court, ever.
I'd argue you're wrong. Law is an argumentative arms race where the government sets the payment as in-person hours in front of a judge. As the things the law fights over get more and more contentious (read: the near and foreseeable future), more and more actual lawyers will be needed in front of actual judges.
>As the things the law fights over get more and more contentious (read: the near and foreseeable future), more and more actual lawyers will be needed in front of actual judges.

>increasing court sessions for increased crime and criminals

against popular but unconstitutional laws now sweeping cities ranging from 1A violations for protest control, 2A violations for gin control, and 8A violations for homeless control

Anon most law is not criminal law or suing the state. It is private contracts.
>he thinks businesses aren't going to be swept up in this wave as well
I hate to break it to you, anon, but business law and contract law also creates winners and losers, and we're going to see large scale weaponization of the court system there as well over the next few decades.

buddy, I'm saying that things judges do are like 10% of what law is all about
most of legal industry is all about not seeing the judge, at all, especially if you are on the commercial side of things and not criminal/penal. you go into an office, draft and oversee contracts between parties, arrange legal affairs and go back home. again, most offices will have dedicated litigation lawyers who go to court if needed, and 2x-3x more lawyers who are essentially glorified officeworkers
if you are a good lawyer, you can omit from courthouse entirely, if you want to.
seethe homosexual I'm talking the truth
This, majority of law is done out of court and is contracts. If you go to court over a contract somebody fricked up.
Ask me how much I enjoy being staffed to the same matter watching a client sink $40 million into billables instead of settling a case they cannot win.
Nah, the stupid doomsday posts like the one you made are the worst
>source
Of course you don’t have one because none of what you claim is either provable or disprovable. Over the years I’ve seen so many times people here predict the worst about the future. So much shit that doesn’t come true and is only meant to scare people. Remember this when in a decade the law career continues to unremarkably plop along and your edgy homosexual doomsday prediction doesn’t come true
I'm not that pessimistic but there are many, many, MANY instances where lawyers are bundled up to work on a case solely due to the fact that the material that needs to be covered is too bulky
if this workload is cut by half, it would literally mean the amount of lawyers working in a firm could be cut by like a quarter as well
its not gonna destroy the profession, but law will take a hit, and anyone working the profession could attest to this
The trouble is law is 50% sifting through boring bullshit nobody wants to read and that is the part that computers can do instantly.
yeah 100% agree
at this point ChatGPT cant tap into sources locked behind paywall but in a year tops all big shots will have their own LLMs that can promise results for 10k a month
As a software dude, it'll be interesting to see how that goes. ML can often get the surface attributes right but miss the substance or flavor. LLMs may actually make odds of winning worse, and improvement is no guarantee despite how deeply we've internalized things like Moore's law.
Here's the thing, the prior cases across the US are all a matter of record and can be fed into the models as well. A lot of legal cases are argued based on judgement precedents. Actually, a model should be able to tell you the odds of winning based on prior arguments and strategies.
Possibly. But that's assuming that that semantics are equally understood between the model and the humans using it, and again assuming improvement is assured should they not be.
most cases, if things go to court, are surface level stuff
a good lawyer can shake things up a bit if the case is not clear cut but they too will consult LLMs first as well as few rookies and not a floor of of them like they do now
most cases can be handled by this prompt, if the software is good and has access to everything
>My client has caught his wife having an affair with another man and during the confrontation, has struck him with a blunt object. The victim has succumbed to his wounds.

not entirely but yes the industry will shrink, so I'm rebranding myself as internal and external communications specialist
chatgpt is like an excel, sizeable organisations will still need people, besides I operate in non-English countries so my proficiency makes me useful to have around
well I'm the Marketing/communications guy so I'm already very well versed in LLM kek
its not THAT big of a deal
fine by me friend, dislike being elite anyways, more of an outback/fishing kind of guy
Advanced EMT, hopefully firefighter soon.

Data Analyst though I’m more like a data engineer who doesn’t get paid well Kek. Can’t complain though. Started in sales and I wanted to blow my brains out. What a privilege it is to now be doing software engineering related tasks. Soon enough I can jump to an actual data engineer job and get paid more. In the meantime I wake up every day and thank God almighty these kinds of jobs exist. I think it would be a great path for people who visit IST, it’s all about being autistic in your approach to your work and making sure all your ducks are in a row so nothing breaks. It seems like my years spent organizing my life around following a weightlifting routine have helped me in this regard.
How long it take you to get to that level? I am hoping to buy a house at some point in my life. I’m the anon who’s a DA right now

Really only took me ~5 years but I've had a weird career. What got me to that level was joining a couple of startups back to back where I worked long days and most weekends but got to build things the way I wanted. Learned a lot of hard lessons about how to properly build and scale software that you can't learn quickly at a proper company because they'd know better than to let a mid-level engineer design their whole system end to end.
Is there a way to get a data analyst job without getting a postgrad degree? I have a biology bachelor's degree and I'm not looking to rack up more debt right now. Is there certs the industry takes seriously?
You need a stack. High level language, data visualization, sql. Certs for each of these.
Do you have a job? If so, the easiest way and the way i did is to reach out to the person in charge of data/engineering division and simply get your name in there. Odds are they won’t have an opening right then but you could offer to do some extra work for them then when there’s an opening they’ll choose you. And while you wait do some certs, they’ll be pumped to take someone they know vs a stranger who for all they know is lying on their resume. It’s worked out great for me. Remember though I get paid jack for the Bay Area (80k) but at least I’m on a decent path to being able to have a family. Like i said, if you like coming here this would be a great job for you most likely
I have a BSc in comp sci if that helps
Based. I always tip my landlord. Thank you for your service.

So like what do you have to do really, like look at the fax from the federal reserve and then triple all the numbers they write down?
What? No dude we basically use computational finance/programming to assess risk, pricing, and derivation/financial derivatives.
You are thinking of the accountants/CPAs who fudge numbers. CFAs are the good guys
The ones who make it as far as I have are good guys who have assimilated well. Actually all my coworkers are great, upstanding people and some of them are only buttholes when they do drugs (coke, MDMA, ket, amphetamines, etc). The ones who drink too much are generally nice
Where I last worked in the lower echelons of finance, they are mostly disgusting newcomers who use every shortcut to screw customers and the company, blame everyone else but themselves, and do as little work as possible.
how can I get your level knowledge on finances online?
NTA but MIT has free courses and google has some great tutorials
how is working with indians? hearing lot of horror stories in departments that are indian-heavy, not so much for lone indians tho
Larp, nobody calls it "JP Morgan Chase" in finance
I am a weapon systems engineer in France/UK. Going between.
Literally everybody calls it that to distinguish from chase retail, idiot

I'm pretty sure everyone rages at almost everything posted here and you just selectively see what you feel relates to you, then use it as an opportunity to self validate like almost everyone else here
Enjoy the Mao treatment you fricking lazy bones,
Kings, I decided to do a surprise inspection on my renter at 2am. I knocked, but there was no answer so I was forced to break the door down with my trusty axe. I entered the apartment and found this drug which I confiscated immediately. I have a zero tolerance policy for junkies. My renter then started rolling around on the ground screaming that he “needs it.” Addiction is a disgusting thing. He will be evicted first thing tomorrow.

Ap/AR clerk at a dealership, wondering if I wanna pursue further in the job or go elsewhere
I have a miserable pathetic humiliating job. I’m 31 and have had it since graduating college. It makes me want to kill myself every day. I want to quit cold turkey. But if I leave I know that I’ll never get another job because of how worthless and skill less I am anyway. I can’t get motivation to think of studying for tech certifications or something despite living in the tech capital of the world where everyone is rich. I want to kil myself every waking moment.
See a doctor pls
no u
I'm being serious bro. My brother in law killed himself last December so hits close to home. If you're ever actually considering doing something, reach out to friends, family, or a helpline. There's always somebody that wants to help.
Remember it's a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
I envy your brother in law for his courage
I’m not wasting my best years, I have wasted them. And I will never get the years back. Even if I get anything now it doesn’t matter because of what I’ve wasted. I’m not “longing” for death ironically, Im the most incomprehensibly pathetic and miserable person on this entire board and my life really can’t get any worse. I deliberately come into career threads to read about how successful and rich everyone else here is so I can get even more miserable and hopefully something will drive me to actually to kill myself.
It's not a joke. Think of everyone who will be effected. People care about you.
The only people who could possibly be affected are my parents whose lives I contribute nothing to anyway. It would actually be a burden off their shoulders.
Going 31 years with zero life development socially or financially is unrecoverable. I don't even care anymore because life is over. I already get more suicide fuel elsewhere for the social losses and I will just continue coming into the career threads that get posted, keep reading how rich, smart, and successful everyone here is and hopefully at some point the drive to suicide will be too much to overcome and I will finally get peace.
I really hope you don’t do it. Forget the “wasted” years. People in their 20s say that in regards to drinking and going on trips. Guess what? They all end up fat, broke, and miserable. You can turn it around, don’t give up hope my brother
>People in their 20s say that in regards to drinking and going on trips. Guess what? They all end up fat, broke, and miserable
this is a pathetic cope. people who spdn their 20s drinking socially and going on trips do not end up miserable
You haven’t met a lot of people then. I’m 33 and have just turned parts of my life around since I was your age. Went back to school.
It’s a choice. Focus on being slightly better than you were yesterday. God loves you.
Why do you think your life is over at 31?
You are genuinely wasting some of the best years of your life and have already done so for far too long. If you don't make a change all of it is going to slip by you and your longing for death won't even be slightly ironic. Life on an individual level after the Neolithic Revolution is most often a series of events in which people see how much bullshit they can dump on you and how you respond to all of this as it happens. What makes it even worse is that all of your misery at this point is and has for some time been solely a result of your own decisions.
Not financial advice, do with this info what you will.
i remember you from another career thread. What is the job?
I'm unemployed, 24 and never made more than $20 per hour. Least you have a secure job with decent pay, I've been looking for work for 4 months and no luck, I thought being khhv and no friends was bad but being a broke poorgay is literally the worst thing possible, moreso than any disease or condition. I definitely will kill myself by 30 if I can't even find a job making at least 60k per year
I am in a worse position than you. THe funny thing is that een if I did get a good job and career, the money wouldn't matter. I have no financial goals. Don't care about owning a home or rental properties, retirement, nothing. I don't buy anything because I don't care about anything.

Why is everyone on IST in a white collar high paying profession?
some bias + some larps
People with shit jobs aren't going to look at/post in these threads
Lots of larps. Probably atleast half.
Because it’s fun to say the words of what you want to be, so you can pretend for atleast a moment that it’s real.

Why is like 20% of this thread in some kind of IT? Damn I'm just walking right into a saturated field aren't I?
Yeah kinda. Everyone and their mother is recommending a desk job in IT/code/web dev/etc. “Too many positions to handle!” All the while companies continue to outsource anything they can, because it’s all fricking digital and can be done by any pajeet with the right experience.

dont wanna single you out anon but I do believe internet will break a lot of people who dont have something desirable going on in their lives
in 80s you could commute, see rich people, and go back to your neighbourhood to enjoy what you have but now you can clearly see an alternate life that is probably better, but time flies and its getting harder to achieve that
