I'm a lawyer, right now I'm reviewing contracts for a telecom. Job sucks but it pays okay and I'm completely unsupervised. I listen to the radio all day and can walk away from desk whenever. I'm trying to get into tax or antitrust law. Or maybe criminal law, idk I wish I had more direction in my life.

Was hard work though, spent 6 years running a business, working two jobs (day/night, 16 hour days 7 days a week) & doing a double-major full time.

There is no shortage of work. Distinguish yourself, be proactive with demonstrable expertise (i.e. your whitehat vulnerability reports and the proof to go with it).

Learn as much as you can about cyber security and only pursure it if it's your absolute passion. This is because the threat landscape evolves substantially every day, and the only way you'll keep up efficiently is if you love learning about it.

good luck!

Feature film. Fun job but the pay is quite average

I'm a cook. I work during the winter and summer, and take 2 months off in the fall and spring to travel or go home and say hi to my family.

I do enjoy it, most of the time. I don't really care what my job is so long as I'm working with friends, and most of my friends are cooks. So, we just find mountain towns that we wanna live in and move there for a season for work. Finding housing is difficult in Crested Butte (my current location), so I was homeless for most of the summer. Luckily all that meant was that I was camping in BLM lands. Working at resorts gets you a lift pass, and last winter the restaurant was on the mountain, so I snowboarded to and from work. Sometimes I get a few runs in on my break. I smoke tons of weed and listen to music while I make food. Most seasonal workers are single so getting laid isn't difficult lol. It's not for everyone but it's ideal for me.

>>3393714
I'm teaching myself security stuff, but it's hard. I already know advanced bash scripting, and enough python 3 to make simple scripts. I've really only used it for gui automation. Assembly if pretty damn difficult, but I'm working on it for amd64. All I'm really capable of atm is doxing.

Honestly, I can't see myself working a desk job again. My last one totally ruined it for me. Boss was a crazy meat head on tons of psych meds screaming about trump on a daily basis. I hate authority, and thus, I hate the government (but mostly because it's over reaching). Money isn't a huge deal to me, so long as I can eat and sleep. I got into crypto because the technology is so impressive, turns out everyone else thinks so too (or maybe they just see $$$)

Been a teacher for 5 years, getting pretty repetitive although I like the job. Not sure if it's possible to ever change my profession. On the side I'm a crypto holder.

If you love the technical side of things (really technical) then get right stuck into it.

Otherwise, there's a huge HUGE demand for governance in information security. It's what matters most to a business. For example; a web server vulnerability, a website which can be defaced and an insecure app all relate to business risks such as
>financial risk
>reputational risk
>regulatory risk
>compliance risk
>etc. etc.

Having the governance structure and framework to support the response to outcomes engendered through such vulnerabilities is what a business is willing to pay big money for. An incident response planning review is more valuable to a business than simply patching existing holes.

If you have the underlying technical knowledge (clearly you do), and would be interested in exploring how it can be applied in a wider business aspect, consider information security management from a broader perspective. You'll need to translate technical findings into plain English and then into business language so the board, CEO and executive directors will understand.

These avenues prevent pigeonholing yourself into pentesting, code reviews, vulnerability assessments and OSINT work (which I happen to love as well, by the way). Just a headsup.

>>3393817
I never attended lectures or tutorials, and am convinced I only passed the mandatory attendance units because I maintained regular contact with co-ordinators and showed enthusiasm. Seriously, I did work at a restaurant during the day and a bottleshop at night, while running my own business with every spare second I could, as well as somehow finding time to study. Wish it was a LARP, full time employment literally feels like a holiday now. That's when I knew my previous lifestyle choices were completely fucking wrong.

I pretty much just like the technical stuff, that's why I got into it. As soon as we started studying standards/compliance in school I got so bored. I just wanna know how stuff works. I don't wanna tell people what to do, or write up incident responce plans, or risk management, or vulnerability assessments. These phrases alone trigger me (though I realize they are necessary). I'd rather it be a hobby :[

Also a lawyer. In terms of my profession I've "made it". I'm at a big law firm working at a satellite office which means tons of pay and little work.

I'm astounded by how little I work and how much I get paid. But the work is absolutely atrocious when it happens. Mind numbingly boring shit and paper pushing. So I browse /biz/ all day and do random spurts of 15 mins of work in between shitting and fucking around.

I guess it's okay, but it serves me right for fucking around too much in college and getting shit grades (This is why everyone becomes a lawyer btw).

I make well over 100,000 and I do secretary work. I'm looking for more out of my life in terms of achievement and life improvement etc so I'm hoping crypto and especially OMG will allow me to retire very soon

For the consumer, bretty fucked mang.

What's most likely is that equifax, if you're affected, will have to pay for identity monitoring / fraud protection (that is if they don't become insolvent in the mean time).

What you can do is contact other credit reporting beareus and request a freeze on your account, so that no one can access / change any details. In my country, this is free, and can be implemented for 90 days. Pretty sure it's free in the states as well, but do a little homework.

You should pay particular attention to your credit reports over the next month. If, suddenly; there's a homeloan you don't remember taking out, get the wheels in motion.

>>3394439
I'm in a similar boat. I work for a company that does IT consulting. I get paid quite well but the truth is I only have about 5-10 hours of actual, real work to do per week. So I spend most of my time goofing off on 4chan and YouTube. On the one hand, it's nice that I get paid so much for doing so little. I can take things easy and have very little work related stress.

On the other hand, I feel like I'm sabotaging myself by not working hard. I'm not practicing and improving my skills enough which I fear will hurt me when the time comes to find another job. I worry that eventually I'll be "found out" that I'm only doing a small amount of real work and will be let go, though I've worked here 5 years and it hasn't happened yet. I also feel like I'm stealing from the company by taking so much for so little work, but if the customers are paying and they're happy, I suppose I can't say they're wrong.

I want to move into a job that actually challenges me and is demanding, something that can give me a sense of achievement. Goofing off on 4chan is fun but gets old after a while and I feel guilty about having squandered so much time. But then again I also don't want to give up such a cushy position or go through the grueling job search process. Not sure what I'll do. I almost secretly hope I'll get laid off to force me to find something more suitable.

only got $5k in crypto. thinking about doubling that and live cheap for a few months

hey, an actual non crypto thread

Just graduated 3 weeks ago in Economics, any advice appreciated

Currently have a position in california gas company lined up for late october start as data analyst for 60k. Dont want this job because a. i am an entj/negotiator type of person and b. Ive done harder work, I know I can try and get up to 70-80k as first job out of college

Im looking at some big firms for potential consultancy side, possibly KPMG/Grantthorton/deloitte(no connections on that one)
I could also do credit side of banking, my grip on finance is dusty though. I want to manage/consult outside of sales.

background:
>head manager of food service, >shift manager at a restaurant
>project management for family constructiom business
>sales and contract work for synthetic turf
>owned and ran a biz writing/essay writing tutor program at multiple universities
most relevant experience
>COO/head of operations and events at a small software tech company of 15ish employees, another 25 under contract work, and 5-10 interns under sales,
>negotiated contracts, investment deals with angel investors and VCs, ran company events that were $10k-90k projects, managed everyone outside of CTO, did everything the CEO should have been doing before I got there

How fucked am I due to being thrown into that small business role while in college? My goal is to find a corp to learn that structure and get my MBA/finance paid for and work my way up into upper management consultancy and eventually C-level where the executive position actually means shit.

I feel my experience is so sporadic compared to most biz admin grads who interned their way out, im kind of lost in where the fuck I am supposed to throw the dart on the board.

60k in loans, I aim to pay off in one whole year so I can wife a girl up.

Holy shit, are you me? The only difference is that I got raped hard in the first half of the year with work and realized that my company/department is extremely dysfunctional. I tried interviewing for a few jobs, but haven't gotten past phone screening stage, which has been tough to deal with. So now I'm trying to get my shit together and learn other skills, but work is in full swing and I'm lazy as fuck so after work I just want to relax. I'm trying to fix that too, I guess it's just a habit that needs to be built up.

im one of those faggots everyone hates because they actually got rich from imaginary money. technically dont do it for a living anymore but yes it was very fun while it lasted.

>>3395286
sounds like you're further along than I am, at least you've done some interviews. I keep thinking about it, but then think "why go through all that stress when I've got a good thing going on". Problem is that I don't think this good thing can last much longer. The company I work for is already in trouble. I've been late getting my paycheck for the past three months now. I have to start dipping my toe in the water sooner or later.

Since I don't get enough assignments at work to improve my job skills, I've been doing some online courses on Udemy and others to try and improve my skills lately, but I don't have the discipline to do it longer than an hour or so a day, so progress has been slow. Like you, I am a lazy fuck so I like to relax during off hours. Trouble is my on hours have also become my off hours. Also, I've found those cheap online courses tend to be very basic and cover only the most elementary topics, so I haven't really been able to learn much. I've been thinking about signing up for some more intensive (and expensive) online training to help me build my skills.

I'm not really sure what the right move is in my situation. I like getting paid for doing little work, but I also have to think about my future and what my next career move will be, and what I need to do to get there.

It's difficult to get into this profession because you have so many middle-aged housewives becoming one because they think the same thing as you.
There is an over-saturation of the profession, it's highly regulated, requires education and state/national testing, and you have to be an affiliate broker for a while before you can even apply to be a "realtor".
The top real-estate agents do very well, but that is a small percentage compared to the number of people starving.

i'm an auto diagnostician/electrician and i do a lot of aftermarket installs. i love my job more than any other single thing, and would continue doing what i do now for maybe 4 days out of the week if i won the lottery

Sound designer for games.

Started my own business with a partner doing post production sound and music for film, adverts, games etc.

Just got back home after finishing my degree to look after mum who is ill, whilst simultaneously applying for junior game sound roles. The freelance work through my business is super fun but the industry is rich with people like me trying to break in. Gonna keep my head down for the next year and work on myself day and night until I hopefully catch a break!

Accounting. Work is mind-numbing but you get to look at money all day (well, not physical money). Lots of jobs, can move anywhere I want, lots of subcategories of work, many jobs are flexible. Seasonal, part time, etc. It's not bad.

>starting pharmacy technician in a big city

>mid 20s, living alone, no family (mom died a year ago of cancer, quit school to take care of her full time before)

the pharmacy was the only job i was offered after looking for half a year, so i took it.

i still have no idea what to do with my life and seeing younger people who do and are successful hurts and discourages me even further. i spend a lot of time looking for careers online but i can't make a decision. my strengths and talents will not make me money, because the only thing that i'm pretty good at is counseling and playing bass. don't have money for fucking school and i'm not living in debt.

started with crypto couple months ago, all in ($1k) on OMG, hoping it'll be my ticket to finally buying my own shitty car and driving away from here.

CG artist, got a comfy, challenging job working as a generalist for a really cool AR/VR startup, even though I make more money off of freelance and independent projects on the side.
I just wanted to have people to socialize with and learn from, as well as fix my sleep schedule, so getting a dayjob was a good decision - sitting alone in my house for weeks on end wasn't healthy.

Getting into crypto so I can get rid of all the excess money I have now, though. :^]

Industrial scale coating is easy as fuck, IF the company have a nice coating box. For every part, there is a program so you just switch between them and let the machine do the work. If an area lacks powder you activate more powderpistols/more powder. Trial and error sorta.
Manual coating has a higher learning curve and you have to pay attention. Try it out man, I didn't have any previous industrial/mechanical skills before I applied and I did fine.

I work as an American graduate assistant. Today I did more good for society than any of you greedy people will in a lifetime. Want to know something amazing? I can feel it in my HEART.

I started work at 5:00AM today. I was able to perform 10 tissue culture assays, purify three proteins, test 7 pre-clinical drugs, prepare 50L of bacterial media, AND write half of a research grant application today. I find problems in experimental design that paid professionals often miss. Even if it's helping the post-doc who is supposed to know what he's doing, I never hesitate for the good of science.

I get paid $18k/yr, USD. Yeah, laugh all you want, you Canadian jerks. "Muh opportunity cost", big deal. So you make $50k/yr plumbing from 18-30 while I break even with nothing to my name after undergrad loans are considered. WHO FUCKING CARES. Once I graduate, and then finish my post-doc at 35, I'll be able to find a job ANYWHERE IN THE FIELD. Do you know what the median wage is for biotech researchers in the Bay Area? 80-fucking-thousand dollars a year. You'll never have a salary like that, and certainly not living in such a nice area. That's not even considering all the Numeraire I earn.

And the hilarious thing is you guys think it's all about money. The money is only secondary. Do you have any idea what an honor and privilege it is to work in Dr. Blaustein's lab? I'd do it for free if I had to. There is nothing more rewarding than knowing you're playing a part in curing cancer.

Tfw you wish it was (at least) 2005 so you can start over and actually apply yourself more.

Only have a hs diploma and a measly $3.6k saved up.

I have no one to blame but myself.

sold weed in may 2016 my junior year pf hs and got arrested in the same county as my high school (less than 100 ft from the county limit too) meaning mandatory expulsion- it didn't matter the opinion of any of my superiors who all liked me or that i was a pretty decent student, was fucked n graduated from an alternative high school in january

have been working at a movie theater since last november, i've "moved up" but it's not like that matters
i have been working like 60 hour weeks, about to start at a comm college with a good transfer program
probably stuck working dead-end fuckjobs or selling weed until something good happens

my life is shit and it's my fault but whatever
i wanna quit weed and join the navy and be a cryptologic tech/paralegal like my grandfather was but i dont know if i'll ever quit and get fit

To clarify; I graduated already. For the moment, I have a shitty retail job because my school wouldn't release my diploma until recently.

So it's 100% the better choicce to just try and quit rn? I am out of weed, earlier today I was smoking some dab that had fallen into the carpet so I'm pretty much out unless I start smashing glass. Get rid of all my weed shit and go sober? Idk if I can

To clarify I am not a fuck up. I am pretty confident I will be successful but I feel like having a net worth under $50mil by the time I'm 50 is failing a lot. I taught myself conversational Spanish after failing out of Spanish 2, I scored perfect on AP exams I didn't study/got high for, people tell me I'm smart and good at art and shit. Not trying to suck my own dick, I'm just saying I have multiple back-up plans. After writing all this I thought about how many thousands weed has costed me both directly and indirectly. I need to man up and drop it til I can actually control myself around it

I have a 1.92 GPA rn which seems like the biggest obstacle as of rn.

Try taking 600mg of NAC it will make it easy to quit weed. Trust me I've been in your position.

I'm a Website Maintainer. In other words, I just changes prices and do some data entry on the website. In other other words, I just sit on my ass all day until there's something for me to do, which is never.

I don't get paid much but I mean I hardly ever work when I'm at work. Just shitpost and gamble with crypto and penny stocks. Lots of fun. Very laid back work place. Everyone here is racist and conservative. I can pretty much do whatever I want. Fuck the corporate ladder.

Just to survive in life. I'm a wannabe developer I like coding but I don't understand much about them (e.g I know types of variables and objects but I dont know pointers. ). I just reverse engineer programs as a hobby, mainly video games. I'm a game admin for a private mmorpg server where I do most of my reverse engineering work. Unfortunatly I do not get paid for doing this but it's my favorite game despite how fucking shitty it is.

Listening to other developers can help you in the long run. I actually got my first retail job by via client side expliot in a test assignment, I was the only one that scored the highest.

Pic related is just one of my codecaves for a particular function for the game.

Online Marketing Consultant - Paid on a performance basis.

Will probably clear $250k this year (outside crypto). Hardly work at all, but when I was learning the biz I worked min wage shit jobs 7 days/wk and would come home and work all night learning and applying various marketing strats.

.NET Developer
I make like 80k and live with my parents. I love programming, but the projects I get at work all look like abominations. I'm glad I don't have share in the companies I've worked for because I do not believe in their future. Lots of times I've just done contract work too. Its usually "fix this awful program that pajeet wrote for us". Oil & Gas software is the worst. I have rarely seen a good piece of well tested software at any of the jobs I've worked. The one time I ever worked on well written software was for a startup in Austin, and they weren't profitable and had a stupid business plan. But it's ok. I'm sure I could do this well into my 40s if I wanted, but I'm going to try and save my money and retire at about 38.

i work as a pornstar, on the side i work at a gas station.

Author here. I lucked out by self-publishing on Amazon before it became a meme. (Had also been writing for years before that so I had a huge edge against anyone just hopping on the train.) Have amassed a rather large fanbase. Have averaged $250k annually for the past two years, yet don't have to live in an expensive city. (Was living in Asia for the past two years.) Don't have to deal with other people, no bosses, can sleep in whenever I want, work as I choose, can travel any time, and things like high-end PCs are tax writeoffs because I do my own book covers.

They'll use it whenever is convenient. You could be unlucky and be the first cunt they pull out of the database, and get pwned.

You could be lucky and have your name near the bottom of the list where no one checks for a while.

You could get super lucky and have no one try anything with your details, ever. But it's likely someone will try.

Generally, the longer you wait to exploit breached credentials; the lower the success rate. The rush will be on to lodge as many fake tax returns, reset as many passwords, hijack as many bank accounts, take out as many fraudulent loans, obtain as much stolen property, open the largest amount of fraudulent bank accounts and obtain the biggest number of fraudulent credit cards as quickly as possible.

That really seems like a lot man, are you in London? How much can you put away per month?
The pay in London will definitely be a lot higher but I don't want to live in that multicultural shithole.

As far as I know graduate students in EE are usually making less than 30k. Where did you study?

I'm not worried, the company has a fantastic reputation so if I decide I want to jump the ship for another company I can do that easily I believe.

>>3400573
Yeah you can't really compare UK and US salaries like that man, that's not how it works.

Unemployed atm.

At uni to be a teacher, will be done in a few months.

Between finishing uni this year, I'll get some work as a security guard, and set up an aerial photography business that uses drones - just a budget no-frills type of operation rather than anything complex.

Next year hopefully I'll get a contract for a teacher job, and do some work for my business in the holidays/weekends.

£70k as a graduate sounds like a lot if you are just writing software.

Hey man, pick yourself the fuck up and find a fucking way to take what you learn from your next job and past experience, and pivot.

Yeah, listen man. Don't fall for that trap.. I know you browse /sci/. It's fucking bait man. Unless you're top of your class in mathematics, and you're going for a phd with a masters in something like finance from a top school, then you're going to end up becoming a teacher.

Let me also say that we need more competent math teachers, and they aren't paid nearly enough. However, you need to know what you'll be doing with your degree, man. Don't go into that much debt half-cocked on what you want to do. Go talk to a counselor at your school–most colleges allow students to take a test that plots their strengths, interests, and the potential career fields that would best suit them. I suggest you ask to take one.

If you like math, then you can never go wrong with computer science or engineering.

ehhhh in the UK engineering pay is pretty shit, you're looking at £25-30 for graduate schemes which most people go into. It's possible to do better though if you have contacts. Wish I did more research before I went in but I didn't have much choice anyway as I flunked my A-levels. My plan is to try and become a chartered engineer and go work abroad.

I have been offered a graduate scheme for £ 36k when I graduate next year? Should I take it? I'm in EEE.

Some other anon earlier in the thread was saying that he's making 70k and knows people making 45k and got me wondering...

Graduated HS in 2010, went to college for 3 years before I dropped out. Went back in 2015 and graduated last Dec. Worked some in college at some part time stuff.

For a couple months after graduating I did some online jobs but around March I put all my money in ETH at like $15 and have just been going from there.

Last week before all this China shit happened my blockfolio was worth $200k USD (down to like 80k now.) This week fucked me but trust me, it always goes back up and usually to more than what it was previously.

I went to college like a good goy, got a shit degree, went into a job with an evil corporation (like, exploits its workers on the regular), had depression so I blamed myself, but grew as a man, realized that Evil truly existed in the world, and quit of my own free will.

For 3 years, I bounced around to odd jobs.

For 3 years, I wondered why I had "failed" at life.

Then I hopped back on my meds... then I got laid off from one of my odd job, which I actually really enjoyed.

I sat around in vapid nothingness, collecting unemployment and applying for jobs I'd never get. I thought I had lost it all.

But those long years honed my desires to a keen edge. Whoever that person was, died. I'm going back to school right now for a degree I love, with mountains of job prospects and even the prospect of starting my own business. It is the hardest I have ever worked for something.

Yes, I got mountains of help, both financially and emotionally from my family and friends. And I'll pay back every last cent within a year of getting a job in my field.
