Lawyers and doctors are both people who hate their jobs so much that the only reason they do it is for the 'crazy fun' they can get on weekends with their money.

I'd rather enjoy my job AND fuck bitched on weekends.

Congratulations, you fell for the "lawyers are cool alphas" meme.

In reality lawyers are bigger nerds than the biggest STEM nerds since they have to read and memorize thousands upon thousands of laws, cases, precedents and facts and must be able to recall any specific one of them from memory at any time.

Talking skills/courtroom skills are basically secondary but you can't make a good show out of some nerd memorizing texts 60 hours a week, can you?

Can someone become a lawyer starting from scratch at age 25?

>>8428167
lmao

>>8428170
Just add 4 years for undergrad and 4 years for lawyer school. Sure why not.

Tho there is a glut of lawyers atm so the average new lawyer doesn't make nearly that much.

As someone intending to do MD/PhD im unsure how to feel about this

>>8428279
>intending

get in first, kiddo.

>>8428315

>>8428365
Basic linear algebra, advanced stats, mid tier programming. Usually need a masters or PhD. Must know scientific method well, have research experience. Domain knowledge is useful, big fields are linguistics/text analytics, medicine,.and psyc/sociology/marketing

>>8428046
If you do STEM because you want to be above upper middle then you are retarded. Personally I grew up with my parents being rich and I don't want to live the life they are living (its incredibly empty) so I am happy aiming for upper middle.

also:
those starting salaries for Doctors and Lawyers are objectively false, its a lot of money but not that much
>everyone pretends to hate them until they need one and end up paying one 400 dollars an hour
this is why everybody hates them

20 years from now lawyers and doctors will be just data scientists who know machine learning.

This is why higher education wasn't meant for everyone. Most people are supposed to get into an apprenticeship and then a trade after high school.

What am I supposed to do?

I don't even have bad grades, my number one challenge is motivating myself to do shit every day when I don't care about it and I don't care about anything and think about killing myself.

It's hard to every day wake up and go "okay let's learn this shit I don't care about so I can get a job and live a life I hate for 40 or 50 years"


I hate it all.

>>8428101
>>8430444
Hmm, in that case anon why don't you direct your efforts to finding the perfect comfy average job and maximizing your investments to get you the most money out of the least work?
Then hang out with friends and shit
Or do you want to find a 'calling'

>>8430466
I don't have any friends or hobbies.

I guess CS is a comfy average job? Idk, maybe I should be an accountant?

I don't really know what to do.

I was considering switching from mech eng to industrial design. Bad idea?

Hi me.

It does not get better trust me. First year into my Msc in CS. I fucking hate it but I guess it's too late now to do something else.
Find something you really want to do or do like this anon said >>8430466

>>8430749
>tfw i've thought multiple times about going into masters just because i have no idea what to do

fuck

Maybe I should switch to accounting? That seems like comfy outside of tax season.

desu something where I could work remote/from home seems like the best but I don't know what sort of jobs you can do that

>>8428266

Overtime sounds like it makes it worth it on paper, but in practice it sucks. You have one day a week to do everything. Everything. Yeah I make more money than I can spend, but what's the point when I don't have time to do anything?
I'm hoping with a year of experience I can find something better, maybe try to get an MS or MBA. Might just give up and get certified to teach. Anything to get me out of this shit.
