Tech sales. $250k per year. Work from home, 4-6 hours per day.
Base salary is 160k, commissions are 160k totaling 320k.
Closed on my second home last week, this one is about 1 mile from the beach.
Also just bought my wife a car.
I’ve actually grown to serisoily dislike poor people, I can’t hang around my old friends and family anymore, I’m on an entirely different level now, there’s nothing to talk about with them and I know they resent me/jealous.
Part of me wants to call you a c**t but then I remember that I come from white trash where 75k is considered good money.

Good news, now you figured out the tech field is full of scamming buttholes.
Start creating stuff and publishing it online. Combine it with the software of your choice. Maybe frick around with phone apps.
Learn how to create "help desk" systems with existing software and use that for a portfolio. There's a surprising amount of business people that are stuck using old software, or boomers that refuse to make paperwork electronic.
>Good news, now you figured out the tech field is full of scamming buttholes.
the tech field isnt a scam at all. literally everyone works in tech and all make 6 figures working from home doing the most important jobs on the planet. how is this a scam?
It took me 4 months to get my first software job in 2015. I make $350k now. Keep trying!

Any job where you work remote is based, doesn't matter what it is, you can do the dishes, laundry, prep dinner/throw it in the slow cooker, workout, play video games, whatever and you don't have to spend 3 hours in traffic or talking with people you don't like about shit you don't care about.

I just started two remote gigs in the past month. Both jobs said "Net engineer" and both are really sysad gigs but I build VPN tunnels. It's effectively a total career change. Any advice?
Don’t rock the boat and care about your job. Do the tickets assigned to you. Work to live don’t live to work. Dealing with the the 8th layer of the OSI model is the hardest part of my job (political layer)
I can get with that
I'm going from all network - L2/3, SD-WAN, that shit - to AWS and server maintenance. I can fumblefrick through Linux but it's all new territory. I'll have to learn AWS as I administer it
Linux is easy if you know windows the hard part is looking up commands and remembering them when you do Linux work once every 6 months with all the different flavors and proprietary distros
I use Linux at home so I feel good, I just need to learn Red Hat package management. I use MX and Mint at home so I am mostly familiar with apt
NTA but if you use mint you need to kys you dumb Black person
people like you need to buy a thinkpad x200 and do a full arch install, then dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda and install LFS
also azure and aws are equally dogshit
bro It's not that big of a deal when you don't know frick about Linux there's no better starter distro. As I get into more linux at work I'll probably wind up building arch to learn skills Find some zen, fren

FRICK. I wish I had a job. I really need money. My GF has been supporting us since I herniated my L5-S1 with impinged nerve root. It's been two years since I had a job. I graduated college 3 years ago and cant seem to get my mojo back after getting injury. Workers compensation is a joke (60% of pay) that's not going to buy plane tickets and hotel to future inlaws wedding in September. Frick I hate having money problems. Feel like a disabled worthless moron. I've since picked up all of the trad wife roles of house cleaning and laundry etc. Pls some one help me. I really starting to feel like I'm not going to make it
don't give up anon, you are a good man
Why are you worried about a wedding when you have no job?
Get that shit in order first.
Because I can't afford plane tickets and hotel and wedding gift because I have no job.
You shouldn't worry about travel or gifts without a job. Out of mind now.
Nah it wouldn't be for a job but to build the knowledge base which is why I thought maybe the Google it cert has enough fundamentals to skip it and not go fully blind into the sec + study course
Although the sec + probably has enough information to probably bypass the g.it cert
I’m
and have no certs. Certs just prove you know what you’re doing. If you interview well you can do this too. Lots of people with certs are dumbasses
>I have a 6fig because I interviewed well
Sounds like a massive larp and you have to know that.
I already work remotely so I can vouch for the rest at least.
Nope. Just started out on helpdesk at 40k, got promoted to sysadmin level 1, 2 at 65k, took a new job at 75k, got promoted and made 90k, then moved again during Covid so everything was WFH and got 125k. I was shocked I asked for that as a salary and they said yes, but whatever, inflation going up and everything
can I possibly get a helpdesk or entry level job in IT with no degree?
I was selling mortgages but unfortunately the industry took a shit and the interest rates are so high that nobody can make a living anymore. I need to get into a different line of work because I was laid off, preferably something that has a future, but I have no degree.
Most IT runts don’t have a degree at all and they usually end up earning a decent amount by transitioning into something like network engineering
thanks, also meant to tag you in this
The grand reality of IT is that college doesn't fricking matter until much later in your career for the supermajority of disciplines. Getting certs and finding experience is the way
do Net+ or CCNA instead if you don't shit about IT
CCNA is really network heavy but a big chunk is fundamentals of the Internet and how everything interconnects
Interesting I'll look into them I guess. I don't want to do more than graze the fundamentals to have a surface level knowledge/ understanding I'm not up to date with how much those two Segway into sec +.
Right now it's not a clear end goal in mind with that specific cert but from research it seems to open plenty of doors which is why I'm aiming for it.
Learn the network piece and then do Sec+
If you look at CompTIA's learning path, Sec+ comes after Net+ for a reason
and CCNA teached Net+ better than Net+ does
(did both, have both)
Thanks boss, career wise what are you currently doing
Same frickin boat here. Have you tried any treatments?

Sorry
Hows the job? Im thinking about becoming an accountant.
Accounting (generally) doesn’t make great money.
The only way to make good money as an accoutant is to grond it out for years in audit (for 80 hour work weeks and $55k per year) while getting your CPA/CA and CFA.
Only then can you transition into higher-paying finance roles. And those are a select few who make it. People who actually use accounting as a toolkit to analyze financial statements or provide transaction advice. But if you have a CPA/CA and CFA, you’ll be a weapon and you should be able to command $200K+ in a big city.
Just expect to grind and take risks until your mid-30s before it finally starts to pay off. Or take a chill job, but your pay will not be great.
Wow, a job that trade Black folk can actually be better paid than.
I‘m not sure you understand the maximum upward potential of someone with a CPA and CDA though. They can be making $200K at 30, $500K at 35, and $1M at 40.
I know (approximately) one of each at my firm. Well, the guy making$1M+ per year had to switch firms to get there.
Readies can make okay money as a young person, but unless they build a successful business they tend to hit a hard cap pretty fast.

Nursing is great and I highly reccomend as long as you are very patient and have baseline people skills. I hate interacting with people but I got the hang of it eventually. You do have to deal with blood and shir and crazy people though, at least for a few years until you specialize into something like vascular access, infection control, admin, whatever.
I fix gym equipment for 85k. It's the most money I've ever made in my life and my tastes are so simple that I save most of it. If my wife ever gets a job (she's stay at home now) we won't know what to do with all the money other than pay for our son's schooling.

Don't do A+ at all unless you require it for a job. Maybe read the study material if you don't know dick about computers
Google cert is for noobs. Do the A+, then the Network+ followed by the Sec+. That trifecta should land you any entry level job you want.
>3 certs for a entry role
>Sec + cert
>Entry level
Black person w h a t
I wrote "any entry level job you want" and that's exactly what I meant. If you just want to work helldesk then the A+ is enough.
Black person if that's all you think you can get even with sec + god bless whatever shit hole you work with
they are ALL unrelated entry level certs. mist places don't even look for those certs unless they are .gov or .mil, and even then they are hiring for clearances
I think I’m going to do this.
The Network+ is the hardest of the three, but doing it will make the Sec+ and anything that you choose to do after that a lot easier.
Oh I figured Sec+ was the hardest. That’s interesting. Why is it harder?
Sec+ is easier because you can easily gamify the learning process using HTB, Vulnhub, Tryhackme, rootme, among others. 99% of the syllabus is current and it doesn't go that deep into things.
Network+ is harder since much of it is theoretical and the questions focus on enterprise environments. Even if you buy a managed switch, segment your own VLAN, and configure 802.1x, you still won't be much better off than if you just watched a couple of youtube videos. Also half the syllabus is dated af regarding stuff like coaxial cables and 20 year old wifi standards, among others. Don't forget that you'll get a bunch of esoteric questions on literal WHO services and their associated port numbers.
That makes sense. I think it’s good to know the older stuff though because I’ll understand newer methods better. I really just need the certs to get a better job so someone can teach me everything. I learn way better on the job.
Yeah that's the issue I had. It's annoying when you have to grind certs just to get your foot in the door, when ideally your employer should pair you with a senior engineer and train you on the job. Nightmare mode is when your colleagues end up being pajeets with zero communication skills who clearly bought their degrees or women who cry due to "imposter syndrome" because they actually don't know what the frick they are doing.
Anon stop you’re talking me out of it.
>women who cry due to "imposter syndrome" because they actually don't know what the frick they are doing.
I've seen this at every job I have ever worked at in the last decade.
Getting REAL sick of this shit, the HR c**ts that allowe it, and the management that sit back and watch.
You can, but let me be honest, it's not worth it. You can make the same money at any other shitty job. The truth is, boomers don't understand IT or helpdesk stuff, so they aren't going to pay you what's actually required, not when bigger companies are outsourcing everything to pajeets.
>I need to get into a line of work that has a future, but with no degree
Start scamming boomers. Run for politician. Look at our current congress members. They are all sitting back, taking bribes, and most of them didn't even graduate highschool.
>You can make the same money at any other shitty job
like what else has a decent future with no degree (that isn't a trade)? I was thinking of maybe doing IT for a few years and then possibly going into cybersecurity
>Start scamming boomers. Run for politician

Its crazy that people put so much time into being "fit" physically yet they barely put any time into being mentally "fit". What makes it more absurd is that mental gains are obviously more important and effective in life than physical gains.
It takes literally 10 minutes to play a game of chess, a sudoku, a crossword etc
very much agree.
It is vital to make sharp both body and mind
Even if you are a meathead, you must challenge yourself mentally, even if it is something simple like learning and studying a new skill.
i once spent so long arguing with a homeless guy about the crossword on a newspaper when i was taking the tram that it did a whole loop kek. im trying to learn french to make up for my abysmal algerian though, so its something
>Algerian
is this supposed to mean Arabic or Berber

how much of a pain in the ass is it to learn aside from the wonky alphabet (If they use the same one the Moroccan Berbers use)

any study advice for someone starting his law degree next semester?
So much so that I don't know where to start. But the value of my advice depends on where you're studying. I know for a fact that different in Germany than most of the rest of the world because law students here are prepared for the profession of the judge, not the attorney. But it will be even more different in common law countries. If you happen to plan to study in Germany, I'd be glad to give you comprehensive advice along with literature and other general "things I wish I knew when I started".
But to come back to your question: If I had to point out one single thing that condenses everything I've learnt in the last 6 years it would be this: The main skill of a good jurist is to be able to discern what is significant from what is insignificant.
This won't mean anything to you probably for the next few semesters. But all of law is just an abstraction of reality (what we call "facts of the case"). The better you can discern what belongs to the facts of the case and what doesn't, the better your understanding of the system that encompasses all law. I'm not trying to be pretentious. I'm fairly successful in my studies so I know what I'm talking about and my students appear to appreciate this advice as well. Another thing, which isn't really advice: If you live in a country with proper rule of law, you'll notice being confident in your studies really raises your self confidence as well: Almost nothing will scare you anymore, because you know the proper time and place as well as way to handle all kinds of conflict, especially with the government.
Thank you for the advice. Well, I pursue a german law degree, I should've mentioned that in the beginning. I am sorry.
Your advice is making sense as that a Gutachten is to be written and some details are important as others are not, at least in the matter of the Gutachten.
Oh, that's great to hear. My offer to share more advice still stands. You've probably heard of the horrors of the Staatsexamen by now. The only thing that keeps me sane and feel like it was worth it, was sharing what I learned with others so they don't have to go through the same thing. I made a throwaway mail: [email protected]. Feel free to write me if you want some more advice.
I studied law as well, in a country that favors attorney-centric education
if your country is not extremely affluent or if you are extremely international, be ready for a lot of leg work and disappointment
its not as cool as suits, thats for fricking certain, and if you dont satisfy the criteria above (rich country or rich dude) you will see software folk constantly outpacing you until you are 40
then you'll start making real money
This is absolutely true. At my uni, 1st semester has between 600-900 new students each semester half of them leave until there is about 70 at 8th semester. And pretty much everyone that stays does it for other reasons than money. It's just not worth the money even though law professions provide somewhere close to the best mean income in Germany and various other perks.
I'm from Turkey and have really good education, family and background for the country, I'm this guy
80% of my friends from faculty have transitioned to something else or opened shops etc and me and this girl I'm close friends with are doing pretty alright as we are doing law-adjacent stuff and not law (she is in compliance for web3, I'm doing executive communications)
I know Turkey is not the most significant example right now but I've heard similar stuff from people from similar nations (BR, IN) and other, less bustling EU nations (SP, ITA) that law has lost its mojo and its just national big law abusing graduates
US is a different beast, if you have good education in US you earn the money you think you will be earning. period. very, very few other nations can even compare
it must feel good to be a high aspiring male in US, knowing and probably experiencing that the ceiling is literally non-existent

Depends on your country. In the US I had probably less than 1% of my class drop out in law school. If you get into big law you’re looking at $200k plus as a first year.

The guy from Germany again.
The biggest law firms in Germany also offer about 185k € since about last year but it's like the other guy said where you're looking at a 60-70h week. It's still not enough to keep the people in law. Law also takes an awful amount of time since we have 2 separate bar exams in Germany which is why by the time you actually get to work at a big law firm, your friends have already been working 5-6 years in their respective field and make comparable money to you. Most people that stay with law and are good enough to get int these big firms do it because they start loving the science itself. That's why they keep offering more money too.

I hope your back doesn’t hurt too much when you’re clocking in to work in your 60s!

You're trying too hard.
still trying to understand what “the point” is

what is it tradie? explain it to me like i’m not smart enough to get into a university
Why do you lie on the Internet? Would you at least post body with timestamp to give somewhat believability to anything you say?

If you work these jobs in a VHCOL city, you are always surrounded by people who make more. One of my friends is a paediatric orthopaedic surgeon and is just starting to make bank at age 32, another is in investor relations at a venture capital firm. They are entitled to carried interest, so if the fund performs well their total annual comp is expected to work out to a little over $1M per year.
When people ask “who is buying a house in a VHCOL cityat these prices in 2023?” This is who.

Honestly the hours are better and the pay is decent. Get to actually work on specific things instead of everything.
Know I could make 6 figures as a permanent employee but I’d also have to work 12 hours a day mon - sat plus at home and holidays.

Imagine being proud of pursuing the most parasitic and pathetic of professional careers: pettifogging shysters. It’s always losers without any self-respect and nepobabbies who decide, “wait, I should go to law school.”
Okay,what are your career goals?
Sr. Manager in growth and strategy for a wine and spirits company. Make around $170k. Don’t really have goals other than to just take it easy after spending the last few years in tech. Wife is an attorney and makes 2X what I do so I don’t have much pressure on my income.
>attorney
Nice used goods
Nope :~)
Uni administrator. It’s very comfortable but I wish I had become a lawyer instead.
Becoming an attorney is a crap shoot and the vast majority end up making $60k with $200k in student loans.
I’m completely aware of that. I probably wouldn’t go to law school now. I actually took the LSAT just to see what I’d get but I probably wouldn’t even consider it unless I got into a top school for practically no cost. I’m already in my 30s so the stakes are just different.
What did you score and what race are you?
The 1st time I took it I scored a 165 and the 2nd time I scored a 169, but I didn’t really study either time. I’m white.
169 is pretty decent but being white will hurt you. Just say you’re bisexual and you might be able to squeeze into a T14.
I also have a very low uGPA working against me. We’ll see. I’ll probably send out some applications in the Fall but I won’t be devastated if it doesn’t work out. It’s more just what I wish I had done already.
Yeah the GPA will hurt you but the LSAT score might buoy you a little depending on the program you’re trying to get into.
Cope seethe dilate etc
This is the “intellectual” rigor you can expect from pettifogging shysters. They’re like Asians: only capable of regurgitating information. At least trial attorneys have some merit unlike the drone stuck in his billable hour cuck office
Go to the office two days a month. Keep coping.
Still a moron, even if you work from home.
Meanwhile I already maxed my bonus and I’m on vacation for the next three weeks. Being called moronic by some wagie on IST is a fine trade.
Since we’ve a bunch of coders in here: how viable is it to learn cobol and use it to get hired at esoteric programming jobs? A lot of banks use that language in my country and they pay very well+most jobs are remote. Almost no programers around here know cobol, and when I asked a codemonkey about it he said it wasn’t worth learning because the language is complex and these companies only hire the best, but that sounded slightly like a cope to me. I would just take whatever online resources I manage to find and keep grinding until I get good. Do tech companies avoid hiring people who lack CS related degrees?
Help a homie out
Only journalist I’ve ever met who seems to enjoy it is a cousin of mine who exclusively covers sports.
Yeah, sports journalism is fun and full of based men. Anything else is sjw and boredom
Software dev who worked at a bank here. Don’t do COBOL myself but I knew some guys who did and they were making an insane amount of money, £1600 per day contract and this was pre COVID.
That said it’s an extremely niche language and you won’t find many companies who are hiring.
Big tech companies, at least the 2 I worked at, do seem to have a strong preference for people with CS backgrounds. Most companies don’t care though as long as you can demonstrate your skills, unless you’re doing something really maths-heavy or low level the CS degree gets forgotten about very quickly after you start your career.
Prop trading. It's extremely difficult and lonely. It's a constant mental battle.

that is not a career with longevity. i don’t know how you do it.

I am a salesman in a call center. A real salesman makes 8500$ a month or more so that was my only career goal. It was so easy to surpass that so now I am trying to create real goals like getting a director position or something nice and comfy like that.
It is not remote and I do not suggest remote work for sales. You will learn much quicker being in person around good salesmen and being in the office puts me Atleast in a different mental space to get some money rollin
What do you sell? Internet?
Security systems . I found internet sales to be incredibly boring and not enough cash unless you do commercial/bulk accounts.
CPA. I am European but have an offer at the tax department of a Big 4 firm in Toronto. Don’t really know what to do, I was going to move to Canada anyway but I already work in Tax and don’t even like it that much. I’m worried if I spend another few years doing it I’ll be fricking stuck
how willing are you to grind?
if you don’t mind 80+ hour work weeks and attempting exams that the vast majority of challengers fail, you can move into audit, get your CPA/CA, and then your CFA during slow season.
But even with the COA/CA and experience in audit, you’re gonna need to network your ass off for years to get into M&A, private equity, or a family office or something.
Even with all the work, it all hinges on your ability to network and schmooze your way into a high-paying job. And you won’t get to relax until at least 40. Maybe 50. But you can get rich this way.
I work in a hospital lab. Pros: I can stand all day which is probably a lot better for health and posture than sitting at a desk for 8 hours. Cons: I have to wear a lab coat so gains are forever hidden

Did no one understand that if your company is hiring remote that you should post the company name?????
Of what use is a yes if no one knows where to look?
you really think asking morons on an anime weightlifting board is better than just googling “remote jobs in my area”? moron
You're out of your mind if you think job boards begin to even capture the totality of all remote roles out there.

I have a fast food job and am going back to college at 24 after dropping out when I was 18. Stay in school zoomies.
Degrees don't get you anywhere because all the boomers that have the good jobs are holding job advancement hostage.
If they see someone younger than them with a degree, they will get scared about getting replaced.
Where do you get these moronic ideas? I and many others literally wouldn’t have got our careers it it weren’t for degrees.
If anything boomers are the ones who overvalue degrees and like to see everyone having one.

If you want to work in IT get your certs and be a little social during interviews. Government work is easy, pays well, but is slow as frick.
Don’t you ever get bored? I’m also in a career field where the end goal is to just work up the latter and last long enough for a pension but I just feel like I’m wasting my life here.
Friendly reminder that a lot of companies took advantage of covid by price gouging, and are now seeing people start to push back. They are now getting ready to cut a lot of jobs and keep saying "There's a labor shortage"

I guess I could work remote but I like the convenience of my office space and appreciate having some separation of my work and personal life.

definitely recommend learning to deal parlor games like (Craps, Roulette, Poker) I make around 3-5k a month by sitting and playing cards all day (I work 3 days a week 9 hour shifts with 30 minute breaks every 1 hour.). Bullshitting with regulars is nice too. Picked up a lot of advice from old men. If I went full time I would make somewhere around 4-8k a month. some checks are good though, I had one for around $6700 for 5 days of work. Literal money printer. Just have to be not a moron and do fast math in your head. (blackjack and poker is brain dead math, Roulette and baccarat are mid. Craps is pretty difficult because of having to work with a team and manage 16 different players bets and action.) tl;dr want to social max? Go be a table games dealer.
Your ex was a literal prostitute?
After that, by definition, she was a prostitute. She came home and told me it was because I didn't make enough money. I've since sworn off relationships entirely. I will just frick these girls and that's it.
But why $100? Did bro just go "here's $100 now give some fucc?"

i might leave though if I don't get promoted since I'm not making enough there.

Idk, be a manager I guess
>Are they hiring remote
Nope, but there are positions at district/division offices
How much does Park Ranger pay?
Depends on agency, grade, locality.
I make $63k right now, which is on the higher end, honestly
How does 1 become a Park Ranger? I would hope no/little college? What does your day to day look like? Are you aesthetic as fuark in your ranger uniform? Will you post pix?
Good hunting experience to show you can hunt and fight off the wendigos big foot and.tje rest.
>How does one become a park ranger?
Be willing to move, volunteer with local parks, get internships/summer positions if you're in that spot, familiarize yourself with local agencies (state, federal, etc.), and just keep applying as often as you can
For my position, permanent full-time, the minimum requirement for school is 24 credit hours of science classes, and in my experience, we don't care too much about school compared to experience. It's just the education requirement, yadayada
>What does your day to day look like?
Honestly it varies a shit ton. We do general maintenance, write and oversee service and supply contracts, drive around and talk with the public, do drift removal, and whatever else. My project does food plots for wildlife every year, so last month I was mowing, tilling, and seeding a bunch of plots and now we're cleaning up flood debris. It depends on the park
>Are you aesthetic as frick in your ranger uniform
I've been complimented on it a few times and I totally dig it. People instantly respect it and if you can fill it out and not have baggy shit, even better
>Will I post pics
unfortunately not friendo
>What do you do for work?
Educator for an International Christian homeschooling school.
>What are your career goals?
Either I find how to earn more money from this or I will find another more lucrative career path, I originally want to be a translator or an interpretor.
>Are they hiring remote?
Yeah, as long as you love dealing with kids, is a Christian, selecting education as a careet path will help in the long run.
>If so help your fellow ISTards out.
No I can't job wise sadly, but I can tell you to confess your sins and accept Christ as the Lord so you can earn eternal life.
No idea what to do for a job or career. I hate technology more with every passing day.
I need to start making decent money though. I just want a house as my fortress of solitude and cook for friends.
>What do you do for work?
Currently as part time courier and doing bunch of ubereats/ roos whilst in college, the college schedule pretty much frick my carreer choice. The sponsors are pulling the scholarship program and now I have to pay for the rest of my college, I think I'm going to sacrifice my grade and just shoot for any real job this year.

I am so happy IST posts these career threads all the time, where I get to read how literally everyone has a fully remote barely working work from home white collar job and is insanely wealthy (when everyone says how right now the economy is "so bad" and the job market is "so bad" and how tough a time people are having making it, lol) so it drives me further and further into unconscionable misery and closer and closer to my eventual hopeful suicide.
I work from home, barely am asked to do anything (I'm doing mini projects here and there to get noticed) and 45k maybe might break 50 with sporadic OT.
Trying to tech up my skills though so I can solidify always wfh regardless of what happens at my current position.

Just started in finance, low position at a broker-dealer.
Not sure what my goals are, used to be financial planner, but honestly I fricking hate working and hate studying, I don't even know if I like finance at all even though I got my degree in it. I really just hate working and want to be a neet. So my goal is to hopefully get a wfh job eventually I guess, or somehow open a wildlife rehab facility
Does working full-time ever get any easier? It's my first week and the thought that I'm working 40 hours a week is killing me, it's scary to me that many people work even more than that
