Does that shit actually work

>>3466146
tbqh minimum wage work isn't that bad. you have hardly any resposibilities. the work generally isn't that hard. you don't really have the burden of failure on your shoulders because theres really no way you can fail at stocking shelves or flipping burgers etc.

at the end of the day it's just a fucking job. who the fuck wants to sit in a cubicle all day anyway?

>>3466197
if you're smart, have monies, and good social skills.

otherwise hit or miss.

try this : https://www.freecodecamp.org/

people have gotten jobs without actually doing the whole thing

Experienced programmer here. Not really. You will still be a noob. The only way to learn is by trial and error. Stop trying to be hand held in your life. Learn to solve problems by yourself.

If you have any programming knowledge then just start building a project and work on it for a couple of months. You can then whip it out in an interview and show them your skill. That's what I did about a week ago and I've been invited for a second interview in about 3 hours. I started the project when I was literally in a mental ward after a suicide attempt, I thought I would never be able to land a job again.

>who the fuck wants to sit in a cubicle all day
Me. Well, I have my own office, not a cubicle. Barely do any work, just shitpost and trade crypto.

I wouldn't mind a tech job too.

I've built my own computer a few times, I've messed around with web design and PHP, I've used Linux just a bit as a hobby, etc. I've hosted different kinds of servers .

The only problem is I'm only vaguely familiar with all these things. Jack of all trades, master of none.

You sound like every millennial ever.

>>3466212
I'll try that and my own meme projects.

I know ive read like 50% of web developers or whatever have no degree but still I just dont know how I'll be able to sell myself... better off trying though you guys are right.

>>3466235
Same as me. I think many of us here on 4chan have this situation. Where we've most likely dabbled in some programming, type above average, can research shit online which puts us above middle aged women working as office layabouts but we dont have specific skills.

>>3466235
That's fine. I started off like you. I used to be a designer then progressed my skills into more technical. Like the other post. Build some things that are real world like. Employers look for things. The amount of juniors and noobs I've worked with that managed to find good paying jobs. It's easy. This industry has more demand than supply. Learn a real language after you grasp PHP more.

stacie does not know how to do this shit

Just try and get booked for interviews. I fucked up a few of them. It's fine. Just like trading some you win some you lose and you become prepared for the next. Personally, I would try to find small gigs on freelance job sites only. The pay might be crap but if you work your way up and solve shit quicker you can moon your income rapidly.

I have never done any kind of coding before, but I started learning python for the hell of it and gonna move on to different languages once I'm comfortable with it. Will this ever help get me a job or are degrees pretty much mandatory?

>>3466289
But what to learn? There seems to be a million languages and frameworks.

I found a course on the MEAN stack which one anon said got him paid gigs.... but then other anons said AngularJS is dead and not to use it.

Same with Ruby on rails and everything else. It's confusing, also many job listings seem to demand a lot of experience and skills in 30 technologies.

>>3466323
Im sorry but can you please show me how to find freelance gigs.

They feel like either for pajeets(far below minimum wage) or for professionals

>>3466347
No

Are you familiar with other reptiles? Why did you choose that snake specifically

Sort of.

These are a complete fucking meme.

I went to one that promised a "hiring and apprenticeship network" with a list of 30 companies, and actually those are just companies they have ever interacted with, and I have still not gotten a job a year later.

I got into investing because I failed at psychology (lol no upbringing, no guidance in life) and coding (no one hires an unemployed loser with no real work experience).

So basically just fucking kill me now.
