Age, occupation, goals 19 Construction worker / inventor I'm

I remember when I was 18 and had my first "big boy construction job" and had to post on /b/ about it.

28
Head of marketing / Business owner (9-5 day job + a few businesses on the side)

Goals are to build up the side projects, sell them on and invest in property. Then use income from property to give myself a passive income and use my time to help young entrepreneurs get themselves off the ground.

It's really not particularly interesting. Being a real life inventor isn't like being a movie inventor. He's probably making like pic. Or just a kid on the internet saying he's an inventor because literally anyone can. It comes with a built-in "I can't tell you what I'm inventing, you'd steal it!" defense.

>>738673692
I got a bachelors degree in games computing. I also ran the computing society for 2 years which helped with showing i could manage people. other than that i had a few side projects and a portfolio website. All together i got my foot in the door.

now i do MVC web apps for internal and external use while managing my team. full stack MVC with web skills has a huge market in the UK right now, I would highly recommend it.

>>738673670

The ones I flew weren't armed (there are a SHITLOAD more platforms than most people realize). We were supposed to be eventually be carrying small precision weapons but it never came about... had it happened, we would have had military personnel pulling the actual trigger since I worked for a defense contractor.

I spent about a year and a half in Afghanistan and didn't see a ton of actual action. It's 99% boredom, especially at the stage of the war at the time. Occasional IEDs and firefights and that's about it, the rest was tracking suspicious vehicles, doing mapping, searching for HME and that sort of stuff. It's fun, but can be boring and you burn out quickly.

There are many good reasons to not go to uni, Its free years of your life/ career that you have to give up. A job or an internship could let you progress further

>>738674395

Good luck whatever you choose. Contractors tend to make good money, but it's not as consistent. It might be worth contracting for a while then shooting for a stateside defense contractor job, hopefully I'll be doing that soon.

>50,000lbs in 2 months

First off. Holy shit dude what a retarded measure for strength. Your strength is how much you can lift at one time, and your endurance over a short period of time. Not how much you lifted over your life. Not only does it make you sound like a braggy faggot, but very very stupid to..

Also....

I EASILY lift that over a week nigga!!! Sit down son!!! (your number is extremely small. Adds to how dumb you sound.)

>>738677284
Yeah sounds like it, I'm trying to get a bio degree with an emphasis on ecology, but not entirely sure how I feel about getting into a masters program. I already fucked up my GPA pretty bad, so I'm doing a lot of catch-up.

Any sort of out of school things? (ie: internships and stuff)

Your degree or time in a lab, which did you feel was more important in getting a job in this field?

>>738677464
Its not that hard to change. You just need think long and hard - wtf do u wanna be and work on it. If there truly is nothing that yiu care about or wanna do - why are u still alive?

Has anyone else noticed this bullshit?

3 years ago i was hired with zero experience and a small certificate for a job that paid $27/hr. And i have zero college. Last week i beat out 2 people with their masters for a job that pays $47+ an hour because i have "field experience". Now the people that spent 6 years to obtain their masters are starting at $22 where I work. Why would anyone ever go to college today?

>>738676304

So... Its a cock extension (which already exists) which replaces for both sexes at the same time a cock and a vagina with... A fake cock and a fake vagina.

I feel like in the long run, a college degree will eventually get you places that field work couldn't.

i.e: Most STEM field jobs.

Once upon a time, there was a man. He was a poor man, that couldnt afford much. On this fateful day, he was perusing the contraption known as the internet. "Oooh bananas!!" He cried while being rammed up the bum forcefully by Ainslee Harriott. "Please, dont sprinkle before you tinkle!, ive found a thread on 4chan!"
Ainslee Harriott gazes cheekily... "heh heh heh thats some tasty meatballs".. he exclaimed.
So this man clicked on the thread, just to find that it was what he was always searching for... Dragon Dildos!!.. wait i mean.. A Garfield Kart begging thread!
Furious keystrokes and penis strokes were undertaken to both reply.. and release tension.
"30 yo wizzard, jobless livong in my parents basement, have the guts to an hero" the faggot posted.
Minutes passed, which turned into more minutes.. followed by even more consecutive minutes...
"HARRIOTT-SAN!! IM ABOUT TO BLOW!!"
"Boom! The faggots creamy juices drifted through the dust filled basement, landy gently on OP'S chin.
Then Shrek entered.. "THIS IS MY SWAMP!!" he yelled to a lamp.
The lamp grew tentacles and began to furiously pound the faggot, Ainslee Harriott, Shrek and OP up the pooper with amazing force...................

That was your first mistake.

Get your shit together, if you hit 25, no job, fat, virgin, you'll probably stay that way for life.

buy a house soon, more traveling, have some kids, keep investing, retire at 50

lol dude I don't have kids. I don't want much more than a nice tv with a sound system, nice pc, internet access, and a nice apartment. I have all that. With my career, I'll be making around 50k in a couple years and most likely cap out around 60k, unless i wanna get ambitious and have a private practice on the side, in which case I can make about 100k max. But I don't want to work that hard.

I am a guidance counsellor. I enjoy giving people advice and it's very rewarding to know that my work genuinely helps people.

Hope this helps,

better be thinking about retiring to Mozambique or some other shit-tier country, cause you ain't going to be able to afford it anywhere else.

I moved and spread 11,000 pounds of gravel last saturday for a home project, so not really impressed.

No shit. I fucked up and fucked myself up with super depression after some bullshit with a girl online. That was 2 years ago. I've basically lost 2 years. Feelsfuckingshite.jpg

So... have you "invented" this yet? Or is it just something you thought of. Because I think of a lot of things that would be cool also. I'm not an inventor.
