wagie, wagie, wagie... how many times must we go over this?

>>36824033
Data Entry and programming in general is a great job for anyone who doesn't line socializing, my work is pretty much as described in that picture.

>Go in
>Put in headphones and start coding
>At this point coding is just copy & paste, change some variables and control names
>Lunch break, go have lunch
>Repeat in the afternoon
>Leave, day of work is done.

>>36824167
anon i want to get into coding, is bootcamp a good way to go for starters or is it a scam?

Trucking
>roll out of bed
>piss in a bottle
>walk 2 steps to the seat
>fire up the truck
>kick the tires
>do 2 minutes of paperwork
>fire up a podcast or chill tunes
>roll out
>set the cruise control at 57mph
>look down the shirts of girls driving by
>roll up to the receiver
>watch someone else get paid less than you do to do all the work
>send in paperwork
>roll out
>get some tacos
>go to bed
>repeat

It's breddy gud, especially when you own the company and get to meet qt's you met on 4chan all over the country to do lewd things they're too shy to do with people that live near them.

>>36824059

As much as I love videogames and anime, I don't want to be sitting alone at home all day due to health concerns. I have to be doing something more productive than laundry and cleaning. Having money that's yours is more rewarding than relying on NEET bucks.

>>36824213
how old are you?
how do you meet girls on 4chan?

>>36824033
sounds boring and mind numbing

>>36824205
I have no idea what bootcamp is, why don't you just try to learn it at college?

What is bootcamp though? You should take into account that when searching for a job, degrees hold greater stance than some online learning websites may hold.

What do you want to specialize in programming?

>>36824297
It is, but it requires the minimum amount of physical work too.

I don't really care what I just want a comfy job

>>36824362
sometimes effort and hard work isnt a bad thing. it at least makes you feel somewhat accomplished at the end of a shift and doesnt give you time to be bored

If you have a Woodman's near you, best job.

>Bag groceries
>Talk to nobody
>No skills job
>$14/hour

>>36824297
its the best though.. I also have a mind numbing job. I can listen to podcasts and wu tang while my muscle memory and reptile eye looks for defects on parts. I love being a robot.

>>36824033
the pay sounds shit tier though?

>alone in a small room
>talk shit over audible frequency
>building protected by security
>regional area forced to listen
>get paid

>>36824237
28. Been trucking since I was a junior in college.

Just give them the ol' "ey gurl u wanna sum fuk ;^)" get contact info, and figure out their weird fetishes. By the time you line up a load through their town they're drenched thinking about how you're going to enable their lewd degeneracies.

>>36824458
true, I'd rather save that effort for the gym though. My point is that it's a really steady job. You know how to code it, there are no social interactions you can fuck up and cringe at.

>>36824445
then go for it, just have in mind that whatever you get from bootcamp may not be as reassuring as what you'd get from a university, specially when applying for jobs. In programming having an online portfolio with all your projects helps a lot in that regard from what I've heard.

>>36824033
how to get this job anon?

>>36824167
Ha hoo hoo, hee hee.

Programming is a hell job, you work in a team and never get any fucking time alone, don't do it.

The real dream job is sysadmin.

>>36824652
14 bucks an hour is decent in my country

>>36824710
what country is that?

orogogoog

>>36824680
>you work in a team
they tell you what you need to do and you spend the next couple of days coding it on your own.
>never get any fucking time alone
really? they contact you post work? that doesn't happen to me, I guess it depends on the place you're working at.

>>36824680
>sysadmin

depends on the size of the company but this is generally not a good job for robots. You're bothered at all hours of the day (and night) to fix things, upgrade things or patch things. Robots should work in a datacenter or something.

>>36824727
spain

minimum wages are like 8 euros an hour i think.
if i worked 6 hours a day getting 14 per hour, that would be more than 2000 bucks every month, to me that's fucking more than decent.

>>36824870

I keep an eye on things to make sure they are working, occasionally put in a new piece of gear. $30/hr night shift.

Just avoid getting a job for like Apple and stuff.

Also being a sysadmin is hell. You have to deal with asshole executives pissed because they have impossible requests for your technology.

Well the grass is always greener, no matter your postition there are always stories of better easier times, I have never worked as a sysadmin but hear that you are the only person in the building with any idea what is happening, and that your word is the law.

>>36824167
>>36824033
These tbqh. These are literally the most easy jobs in the world and require little if not NO social contact, and you're still left with time at home to play vidya and do what you like. Neets have no fuckinf excuse other than the fact they're lazy, unproductive pieces of shit.

>>36824059

I've got a B.A I'm history. After going a year unemployed in 2012 after my mental breakdown in grad school, went and got a CCNA and an A.A.S from a local community college.

I'm a network operations tech, but job titles in IT are useless. I've been an engineer, sysadmin, and so on after getting my first IT job in 2015.

Less than that, but she's going back to Russia right after she's legal, so most of it will have to wait until fall.

>>36825061
I'm doing internship and I' working in a web-database project, why do you constantly need to talk to people?

>>36825243
It depends on the job of course.

But 99% of the time you are working in a group, working on separate modules.

Not sure why everyone on here thinks companies hire people to do things themselves like superhackers.

So how do you get into Data entry?

I work in "data management". I have no skills and I'm pretty much bottom of the food chain.

>get to work at 8:30am
>do basic data entry until 12:30pm
>take an hour break walking around alone
>work from 1:30pm until 5:30pm

It sounds comfy and easy but it's very draining. Also if you have ambitions in life, as I do, it can make you very restless.

Should I be grateful? Yes.

Should I be so grateful that I should sacrifice my own ambitions or severely limit them? Not sure tbqh.

>>36824500
Not true. Most radios rely on advertising and also their playlists are determined by marketing guys.

>>36825319
no thanks, I actually have ambitions in programming.
>>36825299
I work in a small place, it's literally a room with six guys (including me). Maybe that's why I'm not getting the level of interaction you're getting. How many people work at your place?

>>36824059
Good idea, maybe no one in the west should work a single hour so we can end up like that paradise in Africa, I heard they don't work over there, maybe a good place for you to live?

why not just self teach yourself? Coding is the easiest thing in the world, if you just have patience.

That being said, I have no patience and my main motivator for learning how to code was deadlines for my projects. I learned so much in a weekend some weekends.

I'm at my job right now. I think it would be robot paradise, I certainly enjoy it.

I am finally starting to get actual tangible money from my music production, it's the most fulfilling thing which happened in my life so far.

Make your passion/hobby your job, sounds like a cheesy ass meme post but goddamn am I happy and content right now

>>36824033
A job where all I have to do is sit in front of a computer, type stuff and leave is my dream. I had a job like that once, but the company I was in went almos bankrupt and they didn't renew my contract. I have been trying to learn to code but I've become stuck. I know a lot of theory but it's like my brain hasn't "clicked" yet and ever time I try to code something on my own I inevitably get stuck and can't find a way around it. I'm also really bad at math so college scares me. I took algebra I twice but I could never pass a test, and it's supposedly the easiest math course, so I switched. Now I've been learning languages which is a lot easier and I'm hoping to be able to work as a translator in the future.

>>36825610

I drive a semi (tractor/trailer) over the road which means I'm gone roughly 10 out of the 12 months of the year.

I live out of my sleeper cab which is actually pretty comfy. Got a fridge, tv, nice comfy bed and of course computer / high speed internet access.

There's no physical work and all I really do is drive and bump a dock once every two or three days.

Don't really have to have any human interaction except for giving shippers and receivers my paper work.

It's a good job for an autistic robot

I'm a senior getting my bachelor's degree in software engineering. I kind of regret it now because I hate talking to people and hoped to just be working alone. How much of your day is spent socializing? 30% or something? I guess I can deal with that. Still sucks though.

Programming is a great job for robots or just social abortions in general.

The trick is to make sure that you don't work for a major corporation, or for any company that employs "new age" bullshit programming practices like full-blown AGILE. Agile programming, when done right, can be great. But I've heard from other people in the industry that companies love to overdo it and make everything a social interaction and have stand-up meetings and work in an entirely open office setup (no privacy). Working in a major corporation is just asking for no autonomy, and in general you will exist in a vocational hellscape of red tape and middle managers having power trips and trying to make everybody work in a one-size-fits-all approach.

From what I can tell, the best job you can get is in local/county/state government IT. You will likely be on a small team, and the average technical skill of your peers will be lower than yours if you just got out of tech school. That doesn't mean you're better than them in all ways, because they will have a waaaay better understanding of general systems analysis, design, and maintenance, as well as best practices for dealing with development/test/production environments and shit like that. In general (at least in my state) it's going to be .NET/C#/VB.NET with some version of SQL Server. All of those things are taught readily in tech school, so it's almost a seamless transition to go from education to employment.

Source: Self-taught PHP, MySQL, Ruby, Python prior to school. Went to tech school for 3 years, got 4.0. Got hired in literally 2 months from my graduation, have been working there for 3 years in local government.

The anon in OP's pic was lying. No job like that exists.

>>36826022
good job anon. i hope to follow in your footsteps

>>36825983
lol faggot
at any rate, there are many other kinds of food truck, many of which are totally vegetarian (especially in this area)

>>36825969

Oi, company man - get dispatchers that aren't retarded and then suck my cock

>>36826022
Oh, and let me explain some of the social aspects from my experience.

I work on a very small team, we each have our own cubicles. People do come and talk to you now and then, but in general we are all similar personality types because we're all "programmers".

There are entire days where I won't interact with anyone else directly (just via email).

Sometimes it's this:
>Come into work
>Open my project
>Put in earbuds
>Play some dope ambient electronic music (Tycho, Boards of Canada, or just vaporwave/retrowave/synthwave in general)
>Let my creativity flow forth in the form of elegant programming
>Go to lunch around noon (it's flexible though)
>Come back an hour later
>Music, programming
>Commit and push changes if stable
>Leave in the later afternoon

>>36825973

In 70 years an automated trucks would probably be safer but currently we don't have the technology.

People will try to steal shit regardles

>>36826077
I don't have dispatchers and never have. I give my drivers load board logins and tell them to go make $2000 a week. That's more than most steering wheel holders can manage while I gross $5000 on a 4 day week.

Software Engineer here.

>Pros:
>Work from home often
>Boss trusts me to get my shit done and never bothers me
>Get paid well with annual raise

>Cons:
>Team members can be absolutely useless (having to redo their code / teach them obvious shit / etc.)
>Sales people lie about what our software does so we're usually on a tight schedule to add features
>Some projects require a shit ton of in-person meetings so there's little programming

Overall I make way too much $ for the amount of effort I put into my work. My company is so strapped for programmers that we didn't fire a guy who got caught stealing code. CS is almost a guaranteed job if you can answer basic questions about your best language.

No wonder they don't give a shit about your raggedy ass company.

>>36825663
ah I see what you mean, in my place there's that too, the place has telephones, each one assigned to a worker (except me), they usually take calls and make calls to establish requirements and fix problems too, my supervisor usually goes to meetings with clients too. I'm lucky to be on the computer-only side with no actual communication, probably because I'm only doing internship and not officially working there.

>>36826136
what is your opinion on food trucks?
>>36826174
corpses are fucking metal, enjoy your soy based estrogen cubes

I make my living doing remote internet work/programming that requires no social interaction (unless you count emails and IM as such. I used to make calls and skype when customers asked but now I'm in a position where I can refuse). Dad last called me 3 months ago, who knows next time we'll talk. I get my groceries and other supplies delivered straight to my door. I've set it up so the guy knocks, I wait a few minutes til he's gone and start getting the stuff inside. I go weeks to months at a time without leaving my apartment.
When I'm not programming the only thing I do is watch countless hours of 90s/2000s teen dramas and pretend I'm living their lives.

>do you "like" your job?

>>36826147
Probably. I will say that what I make is more than comfortable for me, a single man. I have tons of disposable income and am just saving it up for a house.

It works like this:
Major corporation = Less happiness, little to no autonomy, more burnout, excellent pay
Small company/government = More happiness, more autonomy, less burnout, good pay

>>36826156
DESU The main stuff I talked about in depth was C#/VB.NET and T-SQL (SQL Server dialect of SQL).

They asked me some questions about whether I had worked with databound controls in .NET and stuff, and I guess from just those answers they were satisfied that I knew what I was talking about.

I did mention my self-taught past in PHP and all that in passing as fluff, and it actually came into play later on because now I've been assigned some web-development responsibilities as well. Part of this is because I described to them that I had started working on my own content management system in PHP/MySQL when I was around 14 years old before going to school.

By tech school I mean a technical college, or a trade school. They're less costly, and teach you hands-on skills needed to work in your area of study without all the cruft of actual college (where they try to make you more well-rounded by including tons of generals).

Are you from the United States? Some states have state-subsidized technical college systems (like my state).

>>36826195
I spent 3 years at community college for CS, got my AS and transferred to a state college to get my BS.

I was offered a job by a company about a month before I graduated because I had a experience with a specific framework (Hadoop) in Java.

Honestly the hiring process is a joke for programmers, unless you're trying to work for Google or Amazon. If you have Java and SQL experience (not just classwork, but your own stuff) you can get a job easily. Most places ask easy shit (generics / abstract classes / polymorphism), but some might ask you about sorting algorithms to check you're not completely retarded.

I'm hoping you meant automatic (transmission) because that would at least be feasible

I literally had the exact same job as OP, down to the wage and everything. It's OK at first but it gets really, really tedious to the point that not even music can keep you entertained. And unless your workspace is incredibly accomodating for chairs, desk height, keyboards etc. you will develop carpal and other awful painful shit within 6-9 months.

Computer Science

I use Java for back-end work most of the time. Our front-end people use Angular.

Web dev is in ever higher of a demand than back-end, but that shit is cancerous to work with so I stay clear.

no i mean self-driving. it's going to be one of the first jobs to go to robots because it costs an insane amount to hire drivers, drivers aren't always available, and drivers can be corrupt.

solid advice here. be very cautious on how job offers word what they're looking for. "programming" has become an umbrella term in the past 7 years for "techie nanny / l33t busboy" where you're jewed into shitty social interactions.

a good indicator for low to midtier quality robojobs is whether or not they offer nightshifts and remote work within your first year there, and another subtle tip is to pay attention to the breakroom and what the average person drives.

on one hand too many smart cars or eco friendly 2010 or younger vehicles in the parking lot combined with lots of new age health posters in the breakroom implies you'll be getting paid pretty good but to deal with playpen kale-synergizing HR overlords all day.

however, shitstain truckstop breakroom with bugzapper fengshui and rustbucket fenderbenders in the parkinglot implies it should be a comfy "mind your damn business and keep to yourself" environment but at the expense of zombie soul-crushing pay.

expect $14 an hour is fucking peanuts.

It is if you're an idiot. If you can actually manage it on your own, don't use shit like E-Trade you'll get marked and sniped, its incredibly lucrative unless you like making safe bets in which case you'll make 15% return max on average.

A lot of our highest educated scientists and economists have given similar timelines. automation is happening right now in 2017 and people are losing jobs in warehouses. it's actually pretty scary but less than 1% of the population is worried about it. in 7 years this is going to become a major crisis for the working class

I really hope I can find a simple job like data entry one day. My sister just sits on a line and screws something in every once in a while, while making double what I make.
I hate my life. I wish I just stumble upon a good job like most of the guys in this thread.

Unarmed private security, it's my job I would highly recommend to all robots. I watch anime and practice drawing at work. It's dead end up if you want to move up the next step in the career path would be becoming a cop, crime scene technician, etc

A. You'd suck as a proffesor and actively detract from the educational system.
B. 95% of your freetime is going to grading and making some sort of syllabus.
C. You gotta do shit to keep your proffesorship and prove it. IE actual work or else you'll be fired and they hire someone better for cheaper.

I would recommend you go into community college and get a diploma in computer programming or something IT related. I did mine in 16 months. The key is that you need to land a summer internship or do a co-op. The good thing is these opportunities are literally in an abundance (at least where I live) and it shouldn't be hard to get one. That way by the time you finish your program you have some experience which is the thing that matters most when you start looking for a job in IT.

As long as you don't pay out the ass for a private school with a low-rated CS program you should be okay. The two really big selling points for candidates though are internships and side projects. If you have at least one of these, you can easily get an interview. Having both is even better.

>>36830145
Java is super popular in the corporate world. Whenever we get a request from a client to build an application, they always want it done in Java. It's usually because their IT departments have the most experience with managing it when it comes to security. We also get requests to work with R and Scala, but those are very rare. If you end up working for the government though, they usually go for C#/.NET.

You know you can get better at social interaction right? It's not something you should be afraid of and it naturally makes you feel good and less lonely even if it goes bad.

My job is pretty comfy in that I make about 40k with no education or skills. The problem is that the job is frustrating and people are fucking lazy, but I have plenty of free time and barely have to socialize. They also don't care if I show up obviously hungover (or irritated for some other reason) and smelling like shit. I've been there five years, though I do know if I'm still there at 30 with no hope in sight of moving on, I'll probably kill myself.
