It kind of helps you be more effay as you easily fall into this "bubble" in the business made up of people with an above average interest in taste, aesthetics and culture, although there are a ton of designers dressed like shit.

I enjoy it a lot, love to draw, make models and find most aspects of architecture interesting.

The company is very small ( 4 people) and so a our projects are mainly housing and residential . Most of what we do is pretty mediocre though. The director is nice enough, he's a Hindu Freemason so he has some interesting connections and clients. His dad and uncle share the office and work as an engineer and surveyor. His son in law runs a letting agency at front too, so its all little bit chaotic. Some funny stories from that.

Overall its not too bad. Only thing i would say is that I'm not paid enough, but i can't really complain since the work isn't too hard and i don't need to put in overtime often.

What synths?

I've been getting into that but I'm a student so so far I only have the volca bass and sample and the montron delay. It's fun feeding the volcas into the monotron and making lofi distorted junk. Once I get enough money I'll invest into a setup with monitors and a mixer and some less toyish synths, looking into the ms-20 mini and the minilogue. I really want the volca fm though, I could make some real vaporwavey type stuff with that. Guess I'm a korg fanboy.

Modular synths are /fa/ like fencing is, the concept is but the people not so much. Although laserface does modular I think.

Cybersecurity engineer/general tech help. I also worked digital forensics at the local PD more or less legally from 16 to 21 (my Dad was police chief).

I was originally going to try for a job with the Air Force in military intelligence, but after doing an IT major with a concentration in Data Networking & Security, I was able to get a position as a "cybersecurity engineer" for a little over the same pay, and no obligation to work with the military for seven years. In reality, I spend most of my time helping co-workers fix whatever they royally fucked up on their business computer.

I'm an introvert and nervous around groups of people and grills, so feeling better dressed than the average Chad has helped boost my confidence. Our dress code in IT is polo and chinos with dress shoes - I found a used pair of Allan Edmonds, wear slim fitting polos, and chinos and get complements from my British boss for dressing "smartly".

Hey there. Sorry to burst your bubble, but as someone who considered both military intelligence and FBI you won't be making near enough to compensate for a normal job in network security or something similar.

Most of my money comes from BHO extractions. In an 8-hour day, I can make anywhere from $750- $1250. So I dont work more than a day or two a month desu.

I work as a media intelligence monitor (sounds cooler than it is) 25 hours a week. Basically watch the news and listen to the radio and write about what's going on that might interest our clients or the government. Pays pretty well at around $32 an hour. I do that 25 hours a week and study international relations with the rest of my week.

pretty comfy desu. it's given me a finger in some of the political parties in my country too.

I'm a retail pharmacist.
Slim-fit dress shirt and pants, dress shoes, tie, and lab coat.
I consider myself to be fashionably challenged, so it's a good fit for me since even dead people look good in dress clothes.

Not true at all. A BS and some projects of your own are really all you need to get your start

Teacher at a country high school

90% great, but the 10% i don't like is from the kids who don't give a shit, don't listen to you and don't even try. Ruins my day sometimes

I can dress pretty casual (most of the time just make sure a shirt is involved somewhere), but mostly just go full dad core (chinos, shirt, crew neck sweater, derbies)
>>
>>11604549

So you're probably pretty young (18/19?) - in which case, who gives a fuck if you don't know what to do with your life. Chances are whatever you decide you'll end up changing your mind anyway. Just enjoy being young instead of worrying about stuff you don't need to worry about

A masters degree is going to be more worthwhile in 10 years than it is now, I suggest you get into a 5 year program.

The best things you can do while you are an undergrad are:
1. An internship
2. A significant side project
3. Some research or research assistance
in that order.

If you don't do one of those then you're to have difficult getting a job after graduation.

Also, you'll need a 3.5 GPA or greater to get into grad school, but even if you don't plan on going, keep your GPA that high anyway. I got a 2.5 undergrad GPA and it has closed many doors.

Good luck in college, it can be a drag sometimes but it is totally worth it in the end.

step 3. stop relying on others and find out if it's what you want to do

Nope, I have to wear a uniform. My fiancee is the editor in chief of a fashion magazine though so I think I got it covered, I've learnt a few things from him, but the most important is that fashion isn't about what looks good, and that is why I will never understand it!
