>>127501104
Just go to a college and sign up for a trade, or look for a new job where they might sponsor you. I did my first 2 years without a sponsor. Also 25 isn't too old for uni, I'd say it's perfect. You have a bit of real world experience, and you're the perfect age to get early 20s girls who make up the majority of universities right now.

University's worthless unless you go to an elite university. If you dont have a 4.0+, play lots of sports, volunteer a lot, and be a minority/woman, then you're fucked.

Join the military - but given OP is a Canadian maybe he should move to the US and join the military.

Unless he did internships, then "Experience" is worthless. They have kids doing high school internships at big companies now just so they have a chance at going to a good college.

Working at a fast food joint simply does not cut it anymore. Everyone does it, even the fuck ups.

Really OP shouldnt be complaining about $40k/year, especially in Canada. I've been out of high school in the Bay Area, and I cant find a job. Everyone here is taking Mexicans, and apartments go for upwards of $2000/month.

>>127501104
Just go part time to a local college and get associates degrees if you have them there like in the USA, they're pretty cheap there. Figure out where you would do at a university and how long you have to attend that particular uni to get a degree, then without having to move or completely quit your job you can get years of your education for cheap. Save during that time so you can focus at the next uni, since many univerisities only report your GPA from their courses and don't factor previous ones.
You could have a degree by the time you're 30.
With that, you should consider going to Europe to do your masters. It's quite cheap here and you could get language learning experience while studying in English.

I went back to school at 30. Had a STEM degree previous. Went into a natural resources trade. Worked contract for four years in said trade in a job I first started as an internship while in college.

Four years later just made full time. Decent money. Amazing lifestyle. Full benefits and pension.

It can happen Anon. 30 isn't old. And you won't be alone. Stop constructing roadblocks for yourself and just do it. I believe in you.

>>127502452
>>127502452
I already have an associates degree, the problem is in Canada they're worthless if you want to go to university after, you need to do the whole 4 years from scratch, I checked and would maybe get 1 course waived for a chemical engineering degree but that's it

You're 25, idiot, quit bitching.

>>127501441
how dumb are you? obviously you have never worked or you would know companies have extreme age prejudice and will always hire older people because they see them as more reliable and responsible and dedicated

this is true across the board, except maybe in specific positions where young physical strength and endurance is the main factor they seek. if you arent moving concrete bags, and just want an office job, being older will 9 times out of 10 be the only reason someone hired you

>>127509177

went back as in you already had a degree right? what do you do now?

>>127501104
I have no university degree and I make 95k. I'm an autist who taught myself computer science from a young age.

Could probably make more if I looked around, but I'm comfy where I'm at.

>>127509723

how long did it take you to teach yourself ? what age did you land your 95k gig at ?

>>127509660
Nah, I left school at 17, went on the rigs. Took a college course in IT at 26 and used that to get onto a compsci degree course. I'm the dev manager for a publishing company now.

I reckon uni is better if you're a little older. For everyone else their straight from school and naive af

work for a company in san francisco (who doesn't these days)

>>127509975

forgot to mention i started teaching myself to code and about computers in general when i was around 10-11. i'm 21 now, but i landed this job 3 years ago when i just turned 18.

Everyone on 4chan has at least a bachelors degree and makes 50k a year at minimum,owns their own home and has a 10/ 10 gf.

I started when I was 12, but didn't start taking it seriously until I was around 15. I'm 36 now. Got my first gig at 24 making 55k, after a few years of wage slaving it in the construction trades.

When I was 29, I got one contract where I made $180k over 8 months implementing and optimizing a computer vision system for a mobile platform, which was the most I ever made. After that, I wanted something with more job security, benefits and a salary so ended up where I'm at now.

I'd rather be a failure scrounging together money while pursuing what I love than sitting at an office job wishing I could blow my brains out at any given moment.

It really just depends on what you put value in. As far as I'm concerned, if you're not making tons of money or just doing something you're actually interested in, you're wasting your time.

how did you find your job? I'm have an AS where I majored in CS and I'm working on my bachelors, I need to find a remote programming job.

I live on <12000 a year. Dont know what I want to do or where but for now Im practicing art. Hopefully Ill be good enough for illustration one day. Am 23. 40,000 a year would literally change the quality of my life. I could afford to buy a bed, have my glasses repaired, even take some classes somewhere.

Learn a second language

>>127510464

i taught myself to code websites, 2d/3d/multiplayer games, desktop software, integrated systems (arduino, rasp pi etc), web apps and in general i understand the science behind computing and engineering to some degree

i learn what i find interesting and it makes life so much better

been programming fluently since i was about 13, i picked it up *really* easily. it was second nature almost, combined with youtube and other tutorial websites. i'd say it took me 2-3 years of experimenting before i thought i was any good

but honestly with programming it's an uphill struggle, i learn something new everyday pretty much. it's a constant process

i found it on upwork, after searching through alot of bullshit. i actually work on a better jobs platform if you're interested, this is my job. i'm shekel shilling here but its a great place to get started - go to remote.com

I'm interested in any place you know about, thanks.

>>127513600

freelancer.com
upwork.com

those two sites are best for quick, easy work. beware to compete with very low wage poos who spam the place

the platform i work on focuses on higher quality jobs but you need a higher quality resume/profile/portfolio (depends on the client)

You not only don't have to tell employers your age; you show a hiring manager maturity by having gone back to school. Maybe don't get a degree in an ageist industry and you'll be fine

Thinks he's too old because he's 25.... you are never too old to start learning. I suggest you go do a stem master race major in comp sci, and destroy all the working class jobs with automation. If you can't beat progress, you might as well profit on it.

>>127501104

Too old for uni maybe. Butt fuck that cancer anyway though. Go to community college or trade school.

Also, employers give less of a shit about your age than they do your qualifications and work ethic. So be sure to check that defeatist crap well before you step in anyones door.

There is no such thing as a dead end job, only dead end employees

There is always a way forward as lomg as you are willing

this is almost how it is in United States, you need family connections to get in a trade and the schools (at least near me) don't give loans, only FAFSA to cover part of it so I am fucked in that regard.
