Well-paid /out/ jobs

>$60k, entry level, not in an urban center.

That is going to be hard to find and I would imagine any job fitting that description would have high competition for the position. And then you have to realize there probably wouldn't be much room to advance while still being /out/.

Currently looking into becoming a seaman. Going to a Maritime Academy and all that shit. It does pay well + you get up to six months off a year (depending on the contract). Here's the payscale for MSC. Bear in mind one graduates already as a Third Officer.

I would be happy as fuck if I could find some /out/ job here that allowed me to do 10k dollaridoos, not a burger tho.

>>847380
Is this really any more /out/ than a rig pig or construction worker? I mean, you're not in an office, but you're working on what is a floating warehouse.

>>847384
That's what I'm wondering. Does this have to be something with forestry or just not sitting in an office all day? A CDL is an easy way to not be in an office all day but isn't the best money. Probably starting at like $40k realistically.

>hey /out/, what are some good entry level no skills required jobs where you can do what you like to do anyway and get paid $60k starting
>this is what millennials actually believe exists
A few months later this guy is going to be saying "UGHHH THERE'S NO JOBS"

>>847407
How would you even know?

A normal desk job already allows for 105+ days off in a year, higher salary cap, nights and mornings not stuck on a ship in the middle of nowhere, schedule flexibility, proximity to family/friends and plenty of other benefits.

>>847414
>Thinks investing in yourself is a bad idea
Maybe for you

>>847419
i've wasted 4 years to get a mechanical engineering bachelors with a 3.9 GPA. couldn't find a job so i entered a PhD program where i have already wasted over 3 years and earn ~25k/year.

college being an investment in myself is the financial equivalent of dumping my life savings into $FNMA in 2007.

Nothing against "nights and mornings stuck on a ship in the middle of nowhere, no schedule flexibility, no proximity to family/friends" for half of the year.

Salary cap is about $600-1k DAILY for a captain. I'm totally fine with that. Although I would prefer working on land, but find me a job that pays $60k base/90-140k with overtime ($50/hr) straight out of college with just a bachelor's and a license.

Pic related, a mariner anon posted his 2 week paycheck. Pretty sure he's a 2nd officer w/ MSC and at the time was staying at a nice hotel in Singapore while waiting for shit to get done, and getting paid for that.

>>847464
it's hard to get a job when majority of the places i applied to wouldn't even call me back to begin with.

2 years into the shit PhD i applied for a field engineer position that involved servicing equipment similar to what i've been working with in the lab. this was an entry level position that allegedly required no experience. after interviewing they offered me an intern position instead of the full time position i applied for due to a lack of "customer service experience," and told me that if all goes well they'll bump me up to the full time position in "as little as six months." the problem was that the intern position paid roughly half of what the full time position paid and had no benefits.

it's great if one of your facebook buttbuddies can help you out, but unfortunately i have no one that can refer me to any position even remotely related to engineering. in fact, of the classmates i spoke to then ones that got job all had internal/employee referrals.

>>847467
having friends always helps

I made 80k this summer working in Canada as a Wildland FF. Winter I work towing. It's pretty laid back.

>>847471
80k usd? How does one get that job, sounds sexy. Tell me more. Why even work winter if you make 80k in 3 months?

>>847472
80k CDN so 61k US. I'm a crew leader been doing wildland for 9 years now. I'm at one of the busiest bases, (Went to fort mac, Yukon, All over ontario, and California). I work winters because it helps pass the time I like the guys I work with. It's not really about the money it's more of a sanity thing keeps me up and about in the cold winters. Also I work Wildland from Late March till October.

>>847374
I was thinking about becoming a game warden, don't know much about hunting be love being outside and hiking and want to do law enforcement ad a career and thoufh why not both

>>847473

So there's literally no way to get a job? You can't get one out of highschool, nor can you with a degree.

>someone is unemployed

This thread was made for me.

I'm a Signalman for a rather large railroad. I work eight days on, six off. Two of those eight days are spent flying across the country to whatever site needs worked on with my crew. Minimum pay is just over $31 an hour not including overtime, off-district pay, full meals and hotel payed for by The Company. I made just over $100k last year, and that's with taking the entire month of December off.

I've worked from Glacier Park to the Gulf. I've seen tornadoes, hurricanes, pimps, strippers, cowboys and Amish.
Background required to come into my craft? Zero. My Company was looking for tinkerers, troubleshooters, and adventurers. All training was done by their own schoolhouse, their instructors, and with their own material.

Union job. Not a downside. The easiest way to be fired is to be a Supervisor who tries to skirt the rules. Our rulebooks and standards are not our bibles. They are our Universal Constants. As long as we abide by our books, we retire.

Speaking of retirement, it's the best out there. Social Security is broken, so we utilize Railroad Retirement. Thirty years, and our pension is based on the average of our highest grossing 5 years.

Married? Not a problem. The Railroad has her covered. She gets her own retirement once you decide to put on your old-man pants. Your old lady gets her own pension equating to 50% of yours just for not divorcing your ass. And when you decide to die she gets your pension, so that's nice.

>>847483
Where, when, and how do I start this job?

>>847485
I second this.

>>847483
Yeah, why don't you tell us what happens to the RR industry every time there's an economy slow down?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=INbKYq0G9nU

>>847494
Cool shit. Hook me up! (pun intended). Now seriously, where do I apply?

>>847485
Be extremely lucky. Keep an eye out for railroads hiring. It's the job of a lifetime.
I wear steel-toed boots, smoke like a champ, swear and tell tasteless jokes constantly, have made lifelong friends, and more importantly I have NEVER felt unsafe.
Apprenticeship is two years, four classes of two weeks each spaced six months apart. Week long annual safety recertification. Class A CDL that's rarely utilized.

>>847488
If you're track department and have low seniority, you get laid off. If you have a craft like Signal where you have to utilize your mind as well as your body, you're good to go. And the railroad doesn't slow down based on the economy. It's based on the goods being moved. No more oil? Oh well, let's move grain or passengers or goods. Shit always needs moved.

>U.S.

>>847498
>Be extremely lucky.

Truck driver that unloads his own shit... It fucking sucks because its physically demanding. Most people drive for company's like this just to get their foot in the door. After like 6 months they fuck off and get a real driving job.

1MB, 3264x2448px

>>847409
Commercial Driver's License. The class is 160hrs in the US, so normally 1 month to 6 months depending how you do it. Costs anywhere from $1500 to $4000. But depending where you live and who you know, it is entirely possible to get the license for free if you have access to a truck.

>>847566
Not necessarily. After getting a Class A CDL from a school, the majority of people will go cross country and don't touch shit inside the trailer. They just open the doors, back up to a dock, and wait for warehouse workers to unload it. Great way to get fat and sleep inside a truck for 345 nights a year.

I didn't feel like living in the truck, but if you want to stay local without years of experience, you have to work. So I been slangin cases of Pepsi for the past 2.5yrs. I need to get out of there soon though. I could get on a fuel truck or something else local where I don't have to work physically but I'm lazy and don't want to start from the bottom again.

The OTR (cross country) rookies will normally make like $35k-$45k driving for one of those big companies but they are always on the road. I do better than most of those guys, especially now since I know what I'm doing. I worked a lot of hours in the beginning but these days I get mad if I'm stuck there for more than 45hrs a week. There are a few local gigs that will get you $60k-$70k a year with no hard work, but the real money driving trucks comes once you buy your own rig.

>>847572

but do you prefer coke or pepsi if you had the choice

My buddy just got a job as a sales rep for an outdoor company. Gonna be selling minn kota trollers and finders, golden eagle syrup, bows, lucky craft fishing lures bunch of other stuff. 45k with 5k bonus + 450/mo vehicle allowance at 23 years old Pretty damn good. I would say apply to /out/ places and go from there.

Also another buddy does guide school out in glacier national park in montana. While i dont know about his pay i do know his expenses are covered. Build your skills and try your luck.

Keep in mind... When you get paid to do a hobby, it stops being a hobby and starts being work.

Electrical Engineer. Not /out/ (desk/lab job for me), but $60k/year is cake if you know your shit. $100k salary isn't hard with a few years of experience.
And I get a fuckload of vacation to do with as I please.

Winter, i'm out snowmobiling. One or two weeks a month off all season long, in addition to 3-/4-day weekends inbetween. Some work (avalanche education, racing) keeps the sponsors happy, which makes the sport easier to afford.

Also do some tower-tech work. Being an EE, that's pretty easy stuff... basic IP networking and RF. P25/DMR/Analog isn't too hard to wrap your head around, lots of resources online if you have questions on that stuff.
Since I already have snow and dirt toys, and a pickup to pull those toys, I have all the vehicles I need to get to the sites in just about any weather condition.

I enjoy all of what I do ... Engineering's always challenging, and I like being able to solve problems and answer questions (that's really all engineering is). When I started doing contract radio work, it really killed radio as a hobby for me. Only in the last few years have I started to get back into amateur radio, only do contract gigs a few times a year now (compared to the 2-3x/wk when I first got into it (couple of big jobs)). There's a delicate balance you have to find and maintain between work and play.

Depends on a lot of factors. Some careers/companies sort of require that to get your foot in the door. If you get lucky, you can find a company that'll train you on-the-job and while you won't have the formal education, you'll be just as skilled as those that do.

With that being said, there's also a lot of options that don't require continued formal education. Certifications and experience go a long ways. When I'm hiring techs, the background's good to have but I'm more interested in how well you're able to solve problems and work through a task. Every tech I've hired with military background has been great.

You do have to enjoy your day-job, to a certain extent. If you hate what you do 40hrs a week, you're going to hate life regardless of what you do in your off-time.

Accidentally made a new thread with a similar topic. I don't care about high paying, just enough to get me by is fine. Even just shit that'll give me skills for being /out/ alone. Anyone know of anything?

>Environmental management degree

My little bro is working on his degree in meteorology and I'm interested to see what he gets. There are a ton of crazy jobs like working on big boats or airports. Over the summer he was doing an internship for the power company helping to predict weather and adjusting the price of electricity based on that.

Are there any /out/ jobs that allow me to carry a firearm (like if I said I wanted it to protect myself from animals or some shit)? I would like to avoid law enforcement. And the job doesn't need to be high paying by any standard. I just wanna be able to be /out/ with a gun and get paid for it.

>>847811
That would be tough just because most large companies are against it for safety and insurance reasons.

Maybe if you became some independent contractor surveyor or random shit like that, you could do what you want. Or become a logger for a company run by a God-fearing red blooded 'Murrican.

But government jobs outside of LE and anything else for a large company, that's gonna be tough. That issue comes up a lot with truck drivers and we had a meeting about it saying you gotta leave your gun in the car lockef up while working and can't carry it in the truck.

Bullshit, you didn't step outside of your comfort zone and put yourself out there.

There are engineers at my school (Missouri S&T) who get internships their freshman year, and have co-ops by the time they're juniors. Most of them have a job right as soon as they graduate. They don't have 3.9 GPA's either. Maybe if you would have set down your computational fluid dynamics book in school and handed out a resume to every employer at the career fair you'd be making 70k+

>>847374
pretty much anything in mineral exploration. like a geologist or geophysicist. Geologist would be better though. I'm a geophysicist. Field jobs are a lot easier to come by because no one really likes being away from home. But they pay quite well. Just be sure not to get into mining proper. Like on a mine site. That's not the best if you actually like nature and the outdoors. Even with exploration field jobs you're usually in camps and handing around rigs or a core shack or something. But I used to travel to a lot of places that were just amazing.

You will need internships if you want to be competitive. Bio is a really popular major especially with all the animal lovers and med school dropouts.

I never got anywhere with my degree. The USFS, BLM, and NPS had nothing for me besides an unpaid internship.

Get a GIS cert from a few classes while you're still in school. It might be free, just join the classes as a backup, they're pretty easy and useful. That cert on your resume might just save your ass one day like it did for me.

Also if your school is by the ocean like mine was you can look into scuba diving. I could listen to story after story of my former classmates talking about their scuba experiences.

>>851857
It's all about becoming proficient in scuba and welding. Now that's a good way to make some real money. Dude I know who runs a nightclub used to be an underwater welder and he made stupid amounts of money every hour he was underwater and travelled all over depending where the projects were.

Man I wish my school was near an ocean, I'd start finding my way into some sort of Marine bio asap. Sadly it's kinda in the city/suburbish area. I already am looking for GIS, but all of it seems to be locked away behind x amount of credit hours/degrees. Know of any sites to look for internships? I've already gone to my school's career center, and they helped me jack all. Basically told me to fuck off and do my own research.

>>851906
Career centers have been useless to me as well. They all wanted to pay me $10/hour to be a bio tutor for people when I was making 25 as an IC, even after I finished. Professors and networking will give you much much better ROI.

Not really unfortunately. I've been out of the internship game for a while but first place I would look as a student would be to ask my professors who teach classes I like.

https://www.reddit.com/r/biology/wiki/faq

Go tot eh very bottom of this page and check the links. Someone has already done most of the legwork online.

>>851906
Forgot to say, you don't need to do a minor or even official AS certificate to have professional learning in GIS.

Esri has a "GIS Desktop Certificate" which might just be given at the end of one of the classes. Just ask a GIS prof if you get any kind of cert after finishing. It can be in as little as one semester class with no lab fees. If you don't get one then you can take the classes and just lie and say you have one to get a GIS job. Some have really good career tracks.

>>851908
>>851914
Thanks a lot for the info man. You have no idea how much I appreciate someone understanding and giving feedback. About the GIS, wouldn't they ask to see or verify the certificate?

>>851939
No problem.

They didn't with mine. They just asked in the interview like "Are you sure you graduated from this college and got this cert there?" and I said I did and gave examples of the research projects I did with it.

The interviewers had no idea what I was talking about when I started using real GIS jargon because they were all recruiters at a staffing firm. By the time I moved to my second job I had the experience to back me up.

Experience will beat out education 10:1 almost any day of the week. After your first job it gets a lot easier to show you can make the cut.

My father is near retirement now and sits in front of a computer most of the year, but still goes /out/ for work every once in a while.

It's really intensive though and you can't see your family but you go places... He also lived in Malaysia, Angola, Kenya
I haven't been nearly as much /out/ as him and he has a ton of cool stories, like eating chimpanzee or crocodile cause there was nothing else, or being stuck somewhere in Wyoming because it was already below freezing temperature in early september

This. But you gotta be careful what you specialise in. Half my mates who joined exploration companies are out in Central Africa and the rest are stuck behind a desk. I'm moving into academia, but at least I get paid to join undergrad and conference field trips.

Electric lineman you cucks. My local utility company pays journeymen 121k without adding in over time. Some guys start out making 30k some start out at 60k depends on where you live and if you get directly into an apprenticeship or start as a groundsman

105 days off a year?! you dont live in the US do you

What are some /out/ jobs within the UK that pay a livable wage? I'm not even after loadsamoney like the OP.

It seems most of the suggestions in this thread are limited to the US and other countries that actually have significant wilderness.

>>852850
Forestry commission officer?
you'd need to go to uni for that though.
Or forestry commission wildlife ranger?
Again, you'd need some kind of qualification in wildlife management, a firearms certificate, and your deer stalking certificate.

Arboriculture, maybe.

There aren't any /out/ jobs which you can just walk into. You need relevant experience and/or qualifications for all that i can think.

>52 weeks a year

How do I get one of those firefighting jobs?

Looking at USAJOBS they all seem to involve already having spent 3 months as a firefighter to qualify for even the basic GS-04 position.

>most like for the goverment
Stop planning to work for the government. That's a good place to start.

>>847444
Navy federal is the shit though mayne.

>>851727
No, my sister and her husband went to work for the NFS right out of college and then transferred to the BLM as hydrologists. They could have made money in the private sector, but they're basically set for retirement between their pensions and some smart investing. They got to do some great reclamation work of old mining land in Nevada for a few years, whereas privately they would have been mostly doing environment impact write ups for land developers.

The only downside is that everybody, libtards and cuckservatives, hate the BLM. They were threatened a few times, had their personal vehicles vandalized and at one posting in Arizona the whole office was instructed not to identify themselves as BLM in their off time.

I've been enjoying my time as a tech, I've done it for 4 years now. You won't get anything permanent right out of school, so you need to find things to do for the winter. I'm only now getting interviews for term positions which are temporary, but last longer.

im 18 and going to college next year at UW Madison if I don't fuck anything up presumably.

What should I major in to get an /out/ job?

>>855526
What aspects of /out/ are you most passionate or interested in?

>>855526
transfer to UIUC and do crop sciences

>>847467
>due to a lack of "customer service experience,"
Once again, can't relate to normies. And apparently feel so entitled to a job that you refuse to even take an internship.

Also, you made an idiot move continuing to finance your life going for an unnecessary PhD.

>>855528
Goddamn I hate that place. I would rather be in Madison any day.

>>855526
>You must be 18 to post here

>>855527
I can't stand spending time on things that don't help me or my beliefs.. So I don't want to work at a desk.

>>855528
I will consider the crop sciences

>>855537
Was thinking about killing myself before my 18th and not really glad I didn't

>>855537
i mean so would i, but i know UIUC has a working research farm so if you go into crop sciences its easy to get a part time job working on it

UW-madison might have one as well idk

>>855546
That doesn't answer my question. And you don't need to go to college to not have a desk job

>>855550
maybe if you want to be a machinist/seasonal laborer

>>847374
>entry level
>straight outta school version
>$60k
pick one, because that trifecta has likely been filled by a baby-boomer since 1970 and they'll stay at that job until the day they die

some sort of farming, crop spraying, or pest control might get you close to your goals, but expect pay to be less substantial

>>847419
>normal job
>100+ days off in a year
if you take all of your sick days, use your vacation time, and have your kid and spouse get cancer then maybe...

>>855598
Or work 5 days a week like a normal human bean.

52 weeks, 5 days a week is only 260 days. So that 105 days off is conservative. After holidays, sick days, and vacation, add another 20+ days to that.

>>847419
Have almost a third of the year off? You sure about that?
Even then, that's not "a normal" desk job. Not nearly.

Work masonry and become a real man. Nothing better than being able to say "I built that." My dad is a mason and everytime we go somewhere he goes "I did the brick/block work on that." Nobody is going into the trade and the old fucks are getting out of it soon so you'll be making BANK to spend on your /out/ hobbies. If you're in the north you can work with a crew for 8 months and have winter off.

>>855639
This, if all you want is to be outside and not behind a desk then learn a trade.

If you're serious about environmental science and conservation then go to college

>>851646
How do i get into this?
Im single and no kids so i dont care if im not home.

>>851860
>comparing a lib arts degree to an engineering, medical, or scientific degree

Other than that the trades isn't a bad idea. You won't make dentist money but it'll still be good money.

>>855682
You'll mostly be working for mining companies.

>>855692
Anything that gets me out of working in mud, im a day laborer so something that wont fuck my back up more is good

>>855694
Try and get into South Dakota School of Mines & Tech. It's a small, inexpensive school but it cranks out a lot of good geologists

>>847414
>>847450
>>847456
Spotted the indebted US uni students.

>>847374
Logging?

But I sleep in a freight container, is it still /out/?

>>847374
what is not mixing business with pleasure.

>>856461
Kek.

Go to /o/ and talk to all the mechanics who can't stand working on their own shit anymore.

>>855704
That maybe be true but oils gone right now. Mining been in the shitter for a little now which means you get screwed trying to get any decent salary for environmental. I used to do exploration before i started working environmental projects.

I'm studying electrical engineering, will enter the field (coursewise) next semester. I too have been searching for something that won't have me at a desk. What is there that can get me /out/ or at least travel a lot that isn't sales?

So far in this thread I've gathered that being a lineman or signalman could work out?

>>855694
If all you want to do is stop being a laborer and get out of the mud become an equipment operator.

coast guard rescue guys

but none of you have what it takes

>>847444
I got my Associate's Degree not even a month ago and I'm taking my wiz-quiz for my +$50k/yr entry position tomorrow.

Forklift tech, boii

>>847473
>"I like they guys I work with"
Some kinda fruit bat, eh?

I would say be a Smoke Jumper.... But if you get in you may as well buy a lottery ticket the same day
