Ok you really dumb stupid faggot, just tell me how could justify receiving salary of 100k a year fresh of college with no experience?
Just tell me you dumb faggot what kind profit, skills and knowledge can you bring to company that will generate more than 100k for you and profit for company.

You are fucking dumb. First you would probably have to learn how to make coffee for your coworkers you dumb idiot.

Just tell me what the fuck would you have in your skill set to be granted 100k a year

Not him, but any sort of degree in petroleum engineering or geology with an emphasis in petrol industry application could easily land 100k out of school.
My old high school buddy did exactly that.

Then STEM's a bad choice. 99% of bachelors are worth dogshit, and the benefits of going into science/medicine/etc. are only tangible after grad school.

You people are full of shit, nobody would grant you 100k a year fresh after college.
I dont get from where do people propagate this 100k a year meme.

Do you people fucking realize what is 100k a year, its fucking 8000k a month. Jesus fuck do you understand that firms would go bankrupt you you had to payout this kind of salaries to someone who just have title engineer.

I was watching a video about the Chipotle founder last week. He graduated with a master's degree in art history and got a """small loan""" from his parents to open a restaurant. I wonder how small of a loan it was exactly. To purchase and refurbish a commercial building with a kitchen and dining area and employ an entire staff. More money than I'll ever have in my life, no question. Probably a hundred times the amount of my parents total savings. I guess that qualifies as a small loan, huh?

well at the top universities (like highest 3 in the country) in britbong have recruiters from major banks and if you are getting a degree in something they are interested in (economics, bussines, finance) you can get a job straight out with 100K first year going to 150 second.

I'm honestly shocked at the current state of this website. Yeah, we made racist jokes sometimes, but it was all fun, right? At the end of the day, we all voted for Obama, we all supported gay marriage, and we all opposed racist conservative christians. But now? Our entire fucking site is subverted because of fucking nazis.

The internet is OUR platform. the LIBERAL platform. Racism, sexism, misogyny, were all confirmed to be left in the past because millenials are the most left-wing generation of all time. So why in the FUCK, do we still have to deal with nazis IN TWENTY-FUCKING-SEVENTEEN? Despite how much you wanna cry about how it's just a conspiracy and a boogeyman, Russian hackers ARE real, and this site is proof. We went from one of the most liberal sites in the world to supporting Orange Fucking Hitler? Nah, that's not normal progression because people only get more liberal with age, just like how you get smarter with age.

Threads like these just show that we need MUCH more strict moderation around here. I'm sick of all of this shit. Fuck Uneducated People, Fuck Nazis, Fuck Fascists, Fuck Hitler, Fuck Trumpf, Fuck White Pride, and FUCK REPUBLICANS.

I don't think so. From what I understand tho, the difference is that a practicing lawyer in the UK can work anywhere in the UK and maybe even in the EU, whereas an Amerifat lawyer has to choose to work only in a certain state (because state and federal government are different).
Just letting you know in case you really did just want to work in law. Maybe it's just a convenient obstacle that you can find pointless and discouraging as an excuse to not actually go out and do what you say you want to do :)

If you work in San Francisco you get paid over 100k easily, but you also need to be a millionaire just to live comfortably there. Also some degrees are a lot harder than others and require talent which might get you 100k a year since experience can be gained but talent can't. It would also be very easy depending on what kind of company you are to justify paying someone 100k out of college. All those tech companies pay so well and give out so much free crap to their employees because they make about as much as any other major corporation with about 1/10th the number of employees.

not going to university is one of my many regrets (just took a 2 year degree in pharmacy tech instead), although everyone I know who went to university and got a 4+ year degree now works as a cashier or or stocks shelves at a grocery store for minimum wage while I work at a hospital pharmacy and make 60k/year... i'll probably will never make more than that but it's much nicer than any sort of customer service job

1. Chad/brad/thad. You're a busines/finance major. You're in a top tier frat and your parents are both rich. You're going to breeze through school and you have a job already waiting for you when you get out. Your 4 years is spent drinking, fucking and having a blast

2. Your name is pajeet or lee, you're going to be a doctor or an engineer

Why are all plumbers sweaty and disgusting? They show up, covered in dirt, and you have to tell them to take their shoes off inside, otherwise they'll walk all over your floor with their shit covered $10 autism shoes. It's like they have no manners or something. And you always have to tell them how to do their job because they're so mentally deficient and incapable of doing it themselves. I wonder why I even pay them.

Oh, that's right. I pay for the pleasure of having a low IQ monkey in my house to entertain me by pulling my fresh steamy shit out of my toilet. I make sure to take the biggest shit before the monkey shows up, and I never flush. Sometimes, when I'm really bored on my weekend off from the 120k office job that I work, I get my family to each take a huge shit and make sure not to flush so that the toilet is brimming with hot middle class shit. I then call my local idiot plumber to check out my toilet. I even promise that I'll pay him a few cents above the minimum wage. That always gets him excited. Of course, he's so fucking thick that he never realised that I am underpaying him. Can't expect a monkey to count, can you. Anyway, he shows up all giddy like a fucking goofball, I direct him to the toilet, since he always forgets where it is. I told him that it smells funny and ask him to check it out. This drooling fucking retard then proceeds to bend over the toilet and starts to sniff the steamy shit. After several minutes of shit sniffing he turns to me, with the tip of his nose covered in my shit, and says "HULP DULP i aynt be smellin' nuffin funny HULP GFULP seems fine to me bawseee". Oh it sure is. I pay him in monopoly money and send him on his way. I thought he would notice his shit covered nose, but he didn't. I didn't point it out, that would have been rude.

Yeah. Well over 100k for my first job in an area where the cost of living was 10% lower than the national average. Why? Because I brought them millions. That's what STEM gets you.

I now currently work for one of the top 10 companies in the nation only 2 years later.

A decent guy in this career would never do that. Also in work generally women are assholes to other women, but guys aren't to other women (especially in nursing). Like we have no reason to compare penis size because men only like to compete with other men (not because we view women as incapable, but instead competing with other men is probably drilled in our heads throughout life like in sports and strength and such).

I want to go to college for a bachelors in criminal justice so that I can become a cop after college and then hopefully if I'm good enough and since I already have my bachelors degree by then I'll get promoted to become a police detective. That is my current goal but school already started and now I have to wait until January to start putting my shit plan in motion. I'm 20 and I'm poor as fuck so I need to get my shit together already.

I did but it's not like I had high hopes or anything

I went, used up a ton of money, had the time of my life, graduated on time, and went back home to NEET

any other path is retarded (unless you're going for finance then all the more power to you, i like being a stay at home plant)
>>
>>39396955
I fucked up in school to the point where it was impossible to graduate. I'm 27, no degree and not in particularly good shape. I joined the airforce for a trade that is in such demand that they gave me a reduced interview that was basically impossible to fail. I also have some medical condition which is like a mild form of Parkinson (not severe enough for neet bux) called essential tremor. I was 99% sure my application would get tossed. I got in though.

If you're in canada and a neet I'd say go for it, our military is the highest paying in the world.
>>
>>39397825
I am the last guy you compete with in the final round of interviews.

You never see me. You never know who I am.

You were a nervous wreck in front of the hiring manager. My words were on point.

You remembered the answer to a simple question on your drive back home. I gave them the answer to that question and the one they were about to ask.

You told them "F-fair market wage is g-good, I guess." I negotiated my salary because they fucking needed me.

I did but I majored in something useful, I found a job quite easily, and I currently make 6 digits and the first number in my salary doesn't start with a one so take that as you will.

That said, college isn't the only way but dismissing college altogether is moronic.
>>
>>39389980

I did indeed. Went to -no bully i know it was a mistake- art school. Follow your dreams and all that right? haha. haaaaaa....

I worked illustration and graphic design for a few years. Enough to know that that job is awful, pays terrible, you're treated like garbage most of the time, you have to fight tooth and nail just to get paid at all. I quit and found something else. Now working security job. It is braindead easy, union, pay is okay not great at $45k + 6 weeks paid vacation and full bennies.

If I could do it all over again I would apprentice with a cabinet maker or similar finishing carpentry type job. That's my hobby now and I really enjoy it.

Of the people who's starting salaries I know (three people):

One was an ex gf who got hired at a placed called Clover for 105k. Another is my little brother who got a job at some startup also for 105k. The last is my best friend who got hired in 2010 at google for 86k who got a end of the year raise to 103k since that's when facebook was doing some major poaching

No, all high paying employment oppurtunities require some kind of certification or qualification. Trades people need to study at school or work under a master to become knowledgable, even bouncers and security gaurds need experience.

And here we are. Luckily I only have like 22k in debt left, but still fucked. A lot of people just went because they were supposed to and told if they didn't everything would fall apart.

I dropped out of college in my first year and became an electrician, best decision of my life thus far. Its really not that hard on your body as opposed to other trades that involve digging and heavy lifting plus if you're smart you can get into a cushy job like maintenance or something else easy. Once you're licensed you got pretty much an open door for so many different positions, worth it dude its hard work at first but you get used to it and its a respectable job.
