    Was working in Games, (Nightmare for people that actually do their jobs. Especially so for White Straight Men) now in Software Engineering (much much much better).
    Issue is that I work remote and sitting in a chair is not good. I go on a couple mile walk almost every day. And go to the gym at minimum 3 times a week and weight train while I'm there.

    Worse is today I got diagnosed with Hypothyriodism. I'm gonna make it though bros. I was fat in HS, thin in college (I think it was muscle loss as I did not have a lot of food and I think I was starving myself) and a little overweight now (my Muscle mass is in the very high category though so I'm strong but my fat hides good muscle).

    security.

    I basically stand all day, If you lean on stuff or sit down it looks unprofessional. Last time at work before the event that I was there for started and we were getting briefed backstage, all the security were standing and the other employees were sitting, it becomes second nature after a while.

    Because of that, I have a technique for perfect posture, and I can stand for up to 12 hours a day without my legs getting sore or needing a break. Also because I don't have a vehicle (putting 80% of my earnings in an investment portfolio), and because I work nights I usually walk home from work.

    apart from that, seeing the spectacle of consumerism: grown adults acting like children because the bar is closed and they can't get more beer. People getting aggreesive and physically violent over a football match. Fat, overweight and unhealthy people chucking a temper tantrum because they can't bring their McDonalds in to whatever it is they're going to see. The whole apparatus that's surrounds the events that people come to see which is required for them to take place in the first place. (security, police, paramedics). As well as the actual shittiness of the things that people pay so much for and what passes for entertainment. All in all the behaviour I see at work everyday fills me with a general disgust for people, especially fat people.

    Also it fricks with my sleep schedule but i'm a night owl anyway.

        It depends on where you work, with a CS degree you'll get paid way more working as a software engineer but the work is generally a lot harder.

        My last job was complete hell and I had a million respobsibilities, unreasonable ticket queues, clients screaming at me constantly, and shitty office politics. I quit when I started getting blamed for the dev team's code for "not holding them accountable".

        My current job is extremely easy and most days I dont do much, and i never get hassled, so it really depends on where you work and what you do. Data analyst is a pretty vague field.

        Automating your work as any position that isnt a data entry monkey (who get paid shit) isnt realistic.

        Not the guy you asked. But we're always looking for cloud architects, which is like fully virtual by nature of the job, really. A ton of automation, and good pay.

        My lead cloud dude quite literally can't even set up a network, and he gets paid at least twice what I do. I sent him to a demo, because "he built it, he should be the tech support". He couldn't get the server connected to the internet. (My fault, I assumed). His response was basically "what do you want from me? I haven't touched a server in 19 years. I haven't even plugged in Ethernet in 10"

Started out with shit pay but with experience I'm now up at $75k/year which for a lazy frick like me is perfect. I also live in my car and spend less than $40 a week on groceries so I actually end up with more money at the end of the year than most guys making 6 figures do. Still learning HTML/CSS/JavaScript in my free time though but more so for fun rather than trying for a software job. I find I'm able to pick things up way quicker now than I could back in college when I had so many more responsibilities to handle and had the constant pressure of performing on exams rather than actually enjoying the material

        I was born the lowest of low class so I guess I can't answer from an upper class girls perspective. I wasn't specifically looking for someone rich or anything, though, I just attracted that type because I was pretty clear early on that I expected a traditional family structure where I was taken care of and only men from upper class family's seemed interested in that. I'd say most women are like me and if they expect to be treated lavishly they'll tell you.

        Why do you think your wife needs to have to have aspirations or goals? Why are you not okay with her just supporting your aspirations and goals? I mean a family is supposed to be one unit who shares common goals, not two adults with their own goals. If she signed up to be with you and so there to support your goals this is way better than living a life where you and your wife come into conflict when your goals don’t align.

              and that doesn't make you feel like shit? like, you get all this money but you know you're part of a capitalist machine that values material wealth over literally everything else? i mean enjoy your early retirement i guess, i hope you and your wife volunteer with all that free time to maybe give something back to the world that gave you so much for doing what you already admitted doesn't improve the world.

              I was friends with a guy like you in high school. Great guy - very popular among the smart kids but also nice, good combination. He went to Ivy League then Goldman Sachs or whatever and lives in NYC now. He seems happy - his wife does the same job and he has exactly 5000 Facebook friends (the maximum Facebook allows you to have). He was bullied a bit in high school by the "tough" kids: I looked up one of the tough kids recently and he's balding and has a fat wife.

They are literally clowns as a side gig. I fricking wish I had stayed making 20% more on the outside yet here I am. My weight gain is my own problem. I ended up eating my stress but not having the actual grit to train after 12 hour shifts due to location and lack of gym equipment set me back, a lot. It's my own fault.

For the most part though it doesn’t do much and you just end up tired for when you do your real session later, or fricks you up cause you did a hard leg session yesterday in your own time.

    I am an officer in the Navy. I do nerd shit and am hardly ever on any ships, so we PT three mornings a week.
    Our PT isn't nearly enough to keep us fit on its own: usually one 3ish mile run, moronic circuit exercises, and then a sports day on Friday just for fun where we play dodgeball or ultimate frisbee or something. We're heavily encouraged to work out on our own during working hours though and there's a good group of officers that are very competitive/supportive about lifting and running and outdoing each other's PT test scores.
    There are still an alarming number of fatbodies on the enlisted side (about half our chiefs should definitely be failing their annual weigh-ins), but at least I get to order them to stop being fat.

        Depends massively on your job. Do your research on what you want, what life for that rate is like, where you may be stationed with it, what kind of certs you can get for civilian life, etc., and do not allow any slimy recruiter to trick you into signing for anything else.
        For officers (assuming you will go OCS), all branches except the Navy come with the gamble of not knowing your job until after you're already committed. Army/AF OCS you will have an open officer contract, compete for slots with your class, and only get to select from what happens to be available when you graduate.
        Navy side doesn't send you to OCS until you've already got a designator assigned and it can only be taken away from you if you get medically disqualified or you fail to get the right security clearance.
        Navy life for me is quite comfy. There are no more covid effects on anything I do and I've traveled to six countries on three continents (all in hotels, no ships) in the past six months. If you qualify for any kind of niche nerd shit, it is almost always worth shooting for that - the smaller the community, the better the opportunities.

            There is no spying involved, only an ungodly amount of hours spent in dungeons on ships because you can't leave the reactor when everybody else is out in port having fun. You will also be surrounded by weird furgays who shower horrifyingly rarely and commit suicide horrifyingly often.
            The re-enlistment bonus sometimes gets near or into six figures. That sounds like a plus, but it's not - it doesn't come from the Navy appreciating your work, it's because that's the bare minimum bribe necessary to convince any nuke not to run at the earliest opportunity.

    Am a welder... mostly.

I'm on my feet 10 hours a day either chasing the light, rolling/bending steel, working our barrel forge for doing anything that would have ornamental scrollwork in it, or outside doing manual labor for the install portion.

    Money's not great, there's no benefits, but the job's got a ton of leniency and it's a favored dynamic of mine as there's maybe 5 of us working there in total (higher ups included, both being lazy fricks who do little more than quotes and spew regurgitated Facebook vitriol). It's great exercise for keeping me trimmed down mostly and is constantly hitting upper body. Downside is I don't really get shit for legs done and I'm usually too exhausted by the end of the day to manage more than like a relatively intense 30 minute curlbro workout session.
