        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.

        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.

          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

        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.

            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 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.

          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.

                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.

                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.

                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.

                >Start scamming boomers. Run for politician
                i gotta be honest i hate sales and am kind of glad mortgages blew up because it makes me suicidal trying to "work" people all day long.
                a politician sort of job where you're basically just selling all the time is a nightmare to me.

    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.

Not sure their return to office policy will work out for them, no one really wants to go back in. Hopefully there'll be some pushback on that policy so it doesn't eventually extend to me. There's absolutely 0 reason for me to be in the office for my job, in fact I'm way more productive when I'm at home

      any study advice for someone starting his law degree next semester?

      • 10 months ago
        Anonymous

        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.

            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.

    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?

      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.

      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 am a plaintiffs' class action lawyer.
    My career goal is to secure a judgment at trial so large that I can retire off that one win.
    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.

    If I were a young man looking for a career right now I would go to flight school, not law school. Pilots are in demand and there are a lot of attractive things about the career (I've represented some of them).

    What do you do for work?

    What are your career goals?
    >> I don't care about making a ton of money through a career anymore, after my ex of 5 years cheated on me for $100. I've decided I just want to have as much fun as I can before I move on.
    Are they hiring remote?
    >> Zoomer fricks
    If so help your fellow ISTards out.
    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.

        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.

    upside ISTwise is that is easy to grab something healthy for free during lunch, and it's somewhat stressful, but I like cooking so it's not too bad.
    i might leave though if I don't get promoted since I'm not making enough there.

            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

    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.

    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
