How is that a life goal? I'm this close to jumping off a bridge cos I hate retail.

Then don't ask for it.

Maybe I should burn the money.
>>
>>16905019
I'm the opposite. I'm trying to live because I know I'm going to inherit a lot of money, even though it doesn't seem worth it.
Are you trying to make a lot of money and then kill yourself because you're leaving it to someone else?

My life goals are to finish my undergrad degree, get into a not-completely-shitty masters program (this will be nearly impossible), and then get into a reputable PhD program. My eventual goal is to find some sort of peace with myself because my self esteem is fucking shit and I want to stop feeling ashamed of myself and my (lack) of accomplishments 24/7. I need to learn how to ignore my mother constantly berating me. And my childhood dream and ultimate life goal is to have a decent sized yard and get a dog once everything else in my life is going okay. Not sure if I want another person in my life yet. Probably not. I doubt I'll be able to find someone. So yeah, basically just get my degrees, inner peace, and a dog.
>>
>>16905053
I want to be independent and make money.

I don't really care how much I hate retail; being independent is too damned important.

>>16905058
>Are you trying to make a lot of money and then kill yourself because you're leaving it to someone else?

That's secondary.

My life has sucked for a long time and money is God in this world. Money is an achievement, it is power, it is everything. With money I can make up a bullshit fake persona, with money certain morons will look up to me and even defend me despite whatever I do, with a lot of money killing myself would be seen as tragic.

Get married to decent husband. Have kids. Raise my kids and home school them as best as I can.

I don't think anal stuff bothers me, anon, but can you be my husband? Do we agree in important social and political issues? Do we agree on the same principles?
I think 6 kids would be too much of a economic burden, and college for all could be very hard. But 4 is a nice number. Who knows?

>>16905510
"Mindless" doesn't apply to planned families, anon. Decency and morals, are, naturally, particular to one's own, and concepts too complex to explain in detail, so I'm not sure what do you want me to say.
Why are you even worried about others life goals though? Do mine seem to cause yours any trouble, or do you just enjoy the judgment?

I want to teach philosophy. Stoicism, specifically. I think learning to let go of negative passions, materialistic pleasures, and so many cutthroat behaviors would benefit countless people.

Not necessarily a housewife. I'm a language teacher, and I can just work from home in suitable hours, though I'd be ok with being a housewife if it really was a possibility (which I don't believe it is and I wouldn't like to have my husband working more hours than he should for that).

>>16905590
>learning to let go of negative passions, materialistic pleasures, and so many cutthroat behaviors would benefit countless people.
Exactly! This is the kind of thing I'd like to teach my children. I don't believe it's alright to sacrifice other people for our own petty pleasures, and that's the kind of small attitude that I believe makes real difference.
I hope you achieve your goal anon, and more than anything, I hope your students all listen to you and become better people for it.
>>
>>16905607
>Not necessarily a housewife
But you said you want to homeschool the kids? So you want to teach the kids all day then go to work in the evening? That... a hard life.
>>
>>16905607
Thanks. I'm not sure how well my dream would work within academia, but I want nothing more than for philosophy to be important in people's day to day lives. I agree with Epictetus that philosophy is best used as a way to live life better. To paraphrase him, "just as you go to a doctor to improve the health of your body, you go to a philosopher to improve the health of your soul". I want to lead people away from cupidity, vulgarity, shallowness, ignorance, apathy and so much more.

I'd die happy if even one person lived a better life.

I just need a small classroom in my house, like an office.

It's a silly romantic notion, but I like to believe that sex is meaningful. I don't necessarily believe in marrying as a virgin, but I would like to have sex only with guys I can at least hope to have a future with (even if I do end up wrong when it happens, at least I tried having a single partner for life).
I don't have a problem finding dates, but the whole future vision hasn't appeared yet.
>>
>>16905800
No, that's really awesome. I want to marry as a virgin and have just slowly accepted that 99% of women don't and got over it but. That's good to hear there's still people out there who are a little old fashioned. You seem like you know what you want and are going places.

I realize I live to serve the expectations of others, but at this point I'm barely hanging on to a sense of self, so it wouldn't make much sense to be all "fuck everyone else, I'll do my own thing". Because I don't really have any of my own things that I want badly, except playing piano. I honestly don't remember much anything except for what happened in early life, like 4-17. I'm about to turn 25 and don't have a sense of self. I don't know what I'd do if I told everyone to fuck off and went away somewhere. I'd probably end up driving to one of the national parks and dying. I don't remember what it's like to want things.

Yea its kinda shitty, but its because the field is over saturated. Much safer to take a risk for a position with someone you know than someone you have no idea about.

You don't need a college degree but basically everyone has one or at the very least the certification. Mine's in STEM plus I have the cert.

Geographic Information Systems

To put it simply, I make maps for a living. I'm a GIS Analyst contracted under a major utility company in the US. I take data that's been gathered by someone in the field and turn it into a map that the company can use for other stuff like gas pipeline maintenance and service.

I've always loved maps and it's funny that such a niche interest became my job because the field in general pays well and that's awesome. I've heard that it's worse in the UK, and London hasn't scaled well w.r.t. cost of living.

If you aren't studying underwater basketweaving then you have a chance at getting into it but just know it's really specific and it's hit or miss for people. The real money is in GIS development.

I've had the pleasure of hipsters and yuppies slowly pouring into my formerly-on-fire area and increasing living costs and services charges.

>If you aren't studying underwater basketweaving then you have a chance at getting into it but just know it's really specific and it's hit or miss for people.

I need money bad, it has to be better than working in a super market for pennies while you slowly but surely cause damage to your joints.

I hear you man. My last job was at a casino and I fucking hurt my back and shoulder a bunch and I can still feel it months later. Fuck that place.

I would do whatever it takes to finish the degree first and then look for certifications. The esri intro to GIS cert is like $3-400 USD I think, and it doesn't expire. Knowing python helps a lot, I didn't go to school for computers, I went for biology but I had experience in school with it mapping river systems and bird data.

Good luck.

I finished my degree almost 5 years ago, the Lower 2nd Class Pass Maths degree I was talking about.

Been stuck here at a supermarket since finishing it.

>and then look for certifications. The esri intro to GIS cert is like $3-400 USD I think, and it doesn't expire. Knowing python helps a lot,

Thanks, is this US-centric though? I don't know if it's similar in the UK.

>>16908671
Different anon here.
I'm in the UK with a CompSci Masters and not too worried about jobs (my friends getting 10 calls a day).

How would you go about getting into something niche like GIS? I mean if I program some really random GIS-specific things for no reason [other than to slip into a job] it might look a bit weird.
>>
>>16908757
You mean like the industry? Esri is based in california but the course is offered online. Takes like a month or less if you rush it.

GIS as an industry is very much global. I can go anywhere I want with it. My coworkers used to work at apple doing similar stuff and a few others are fresh out of college. Hotspots for jobs here are silicon valley and denver, CO.

It's kinda like IT where a lot of people end up becoming their local gvt's entire "GIS department" as a single person.

To have a bit of fun before I become an old bitter man.
Seriously, I see everybody going out and having great time, while I feel trapped in my job and training (UK dr). It's like other people work less than me all the time
>>
>>16908671
ANON I've been trying to get into that, do you have any advice please?

I just started learning a free trial of ArcMap, I'm hoping to use free online tutorials rather than thousand-dollar classes to learn it enough to get at least a basic certification, how practical do you think that is?

I have a college degree in environmental science, I only used ArcMap for one semester though.

Where would I start looking for work, like for an entry level job? Also I keep seeing stuff about CODING GIS programs rather than just using them, do people usually need that for an entry level job?

I think the guys developing stuff in GIS are doing it for companies when they need something done that ArcGIS or QGIS doesn't already offer as a tool. These will be things companies want done to help sell a product, like knowing where all their customers are and stuff but I'm really not sure.

Otherwise, it's just like I said with the certification. I would go for that. It would be a piece of cake if you studied CS.

The people over at reddit are very helpful if you guys are interested in learning more which it seems at least a few of you are:

No, do not take any classes besides the esri certified one on their website. Even if it costs money try through your old school if you live around there or a local community college. Mine was free through my college.

I will tell you that out of the hundreds of words on my resume, the one thing that got me this job was "ESRI/ArcGIS certified". I minored in EnviSci.

Coding is less entry level. Entry level is like mine where someone hands you data and you use your computer and critical thinking skills to give them a map. Sometimes you are making maps for the average joe, and sometimes they are highly technical but it can go either way. Programming the tools is more advanced.

Idk if you guys want to ask more I wish I could give an email or something but it's 4chan. I love this stuff.

I forgot to say try gis and tech staffing agencies with words like gis technician or analyst, and gjc.org

>>16908879
What's the entry position title?
>>
>>16908892
GIS technician typically.

Analyst is like 2nd-3rd tier. Developers are god-tier.

The gjc is more geared towards experienced professionals but it gives a good idea for what skills you will need.

I don't have much against 4chan but I do against anything spam or bullshit related and I'm sure you do too.

Lick a hot Asian girl's pussy for at least a couple hours... If it costs money, I don't care as long as I'm legitimately attracted to her.

Get as rich as possible and eventually be able to afford travelling beyond paying my fucking student loans (that are literally choking me to death)

That's about it... Not die of kidney failure in the next year too I guess.

I feel pretty fucking low for a 32 year old with 8 years of college under my belt. Fuck my life

tfw you've never been able to lower your expectations to at least be happy with a "normal" life, you either want all of the above or nothing, and it will almost certainly be the latter

Honestly nothing. I have plans, but just things like 'graduate, get a job'. I don't even have any goal company. I don't know what i want, i don't have ambitions and dreams, nothing really drives me except my parents. I don't have any friends, i hate myself, i'm very insecure and self conscious.

Mine are very cliche but here they are;

Whether this means marriage and kids, or finding things I love doing and being with friends, whatever it is.. As long as I'm happy and can say on my deathbed that I spent my life being happy.

The only reason to go to college is STEM or permed, and by STEM I mean EM, and even matg is a bit iffy if you don't go to grad school and take the right courses.
