For one, I'm sick of all the nerds in tech. This ties in with my second point, that I want a more professional job, in a more serious industry. I don't like the 'tech culture' of everything being super laid back and so much frivolous expenses (eg: we have a barista come in for a day once a week). But most of all I want more interesting problems. Problems that are more mathand less coding.


Consulting is attractive because you get a variety of experience working with different companies in different industries. Therefore, when you decide to move on, you have a better idea of where you want to work. Plus, most companies that hire a consulting firm have a lot of data. More data usually means cleaner, more well-handled data, and thus more time to focus on using mathematics to study it and less time doing basic shit.

I actually tried to get a job in consulting after my undergrad but barely got anywhere.

i hate the tech shit too. unfortunately, everyone everywhere is trying to mimic it. hopefully the meme dies soon. also, you might think you like or dont mind travelling for work, but i hate it. after about two trips the novelty wears off and you feel like an extreme wage slave. i stave off massive depression by writing in all my free time and hoping i wont have to do this my whole life or my dad will get rich enough i can just say fuck it. consulting might be good if youre ambitious, i completely skipped that part of life unfortunately and now do the absolute bare minimum with no satisfaction or buy-in.

Read 4 hour work week by Timothy ferriss

Well, you don't need to read the whole thing, but there's a great bit about how to read fast, how specfically to train yourself.
ie he talks about not starting at the beginning of a line nor getting to end, but using your periferal vision to subconsciously pick up the information.

I unfortunately have shitty vision so do all my reading by audiobook (which can be painfully slow depending on the reader), but it all seemed very sound and I suggest at least investigating his method

The answer to that varies wildly from person to person.

I guess I've experienced the opposite side if what you've been referring to. As to my own aspirations, I would like to write a novel. Right now I believe that I'm at the level of early Joyce, so I guess I'm on the right track. I stopped comparing myself to my peers a while ago when all I got was praise. My teacher always critized my essays, but most who read my fiction tend to give positive reviews, although they aren't very helpful. I don't want to be good, I don't want to be published, I just want to be respected in a community of /lit/ards like ourselves. Where else, though, can I find a group of well-read indivduals to give honest critique?

My professional capacities limit themselves to the practical artistry of barista-hood, paid scholarly pursuits and, most importantly, crushing puss.

I want to write at least one novel and one non-fiction book by the time I die. I don't care if they're good, but I know considering the fact that I'll probably be famous and/or pronouncedly prominent in my given profession(s) that it will be sold and read anyway—all I care is that it inspires someone else, hopefully someone in whom the charge of genius finds current.

My sole ambition in life is to write the most meme novel of all time, a worthy successor to the meme trilogy, that synthesizes every meme novel /lit/ has ever jerked off to into one mammoth maximalist masterpiece. No one will be able to read it except us.

Like you need to have read The Odyssey before Ulysses, and Ulysses before Gravity's Rainbow and Gravity's Rainbow before Infinite Jest, the reader will need familiarity with these four and every meme novel ever posted on /lit/, that means Stoner, Lolita, The Stranger, Collected Tweets of Tao Lin, The Greeks... everything.

Critics will pan it, if they even review it; it will have one star on Goodreads. But I'll be a /lit/ meme and then I can die happy.

The fact people here are employed beyond a minimum wage level confuses me and makes me anxious about my own life. I am so unemployable and self-defeating that I simply go from minimum wage job to minimum wage job. I have no skills and barely any experience relevant in the modern economy. I am writing a novel yet I repeatedly lapse into despair and melancholy. My father and brother have disowned me. The last time I talked to my father he offered me money to change my surname. My mother wants the best for me and is encouraging me to return home because she knows I am too weak for this world. My sister works 60 hours a week and is 41 years old and is still holding out for a man to marry and have children with. I've spent the last week sleeping in my second-hand car and spending my days in a library while waiting to hear back about a job cleaning schools and offices. I am twenty-seven years old and despite being perceived to be the quiet but studious and promising kid in school I have remained the pathetic and obscure individual I have been since puberty. Recently I passed a girl I dated when I was 12 and who I loved for years after and often dream about to this day, and she smiled at me with her lips pursed and was obviously in a rush somewhere, probably to meet her boyfriend who I know is a trained carpenter who has just started working for himself. I am not religious at all though I have taken to begging God to please aid me in my struggles and to provide company in my fetid isolation. The future promises only to deliver further punishment and humiliation for my broken mind and my distorted perspective. I will never be loved. i will never be respected. Nobody will ever desire that I was their friend or lover.

If you need fodder for publication, I have a decent stockpile of essays/articles of social criticism that you can have for free as long as you keep my name on them. I've been daydreaming for years about putting out cultural critiques in some sort of print publication, but always figured it was a pipe dream.

I'm also desperate, so I'd more than happily cater the language of the pieces to whatever you're going for, academic or more accessible. Let me know if you're interested, I'll send you something so you can see if you like it. Made a temp email: [email protected]

Even if not, glhf and godspeed

lol good luck with that casual. There's a reason Vincent Van Gogh begged his brother for money and refused to get a job. Genius cannot blossom when you're spending half your day distracted.

If you're incapable of doing it with some distraction then you don't possess genius.

Again, the fact remains that the vast majority of great and even good artists, in any discipline, did not work full-time and rarely worked part-time while completing their works. The facts support my statement. But keep slaving away hoping your shitty novel finds an audience retarded normie.
