This

Accountants start working at 21 or 22 and become managers after 5 years, assuming they jump through all the hoops at correct times. A real accountant, assuming everything has gone right in their career, would just be hitting their stride and getting upgraded to a slightly larger cubicle at Vesper's age.

A woman with the right background, connections, and tits would be able to skip a lot of that five years and go straight to more interesting stuff, though her job would be necessarily be less technical and more of a glorified sales gig.

True high powered jobs for super successful 20somethings usually involve 90hr work weeks, essentially being deals where you trade your youth away to the firm in exchange for a golden stamp on your resume that will get you a cushy job anywhere you want afterwards. I guess if you are a superstar student at an Ivy League college you might be able to get a sweet gig at an intelligence agency, but even then you would be sitting in cubicles while managing the actual field agents, who are usually miscellaneous locals who get bribed or coerced into going along with what the intel agency wants.

Conclusion: Vesper was not a real person and Eva Green was cast in the role because she was sexy rather than because she could plausibly be a high powered executive-cum-secret agent.

You are supposed to care about stuff like that only if everything in your life is going great and you are like "i'm, i'm getting validation from society that i'm doing great, feels good", otherwise there is no point on dwelling on it. I mean I spent all of my uni years thinking about how worthless I am because i thought that hating on myself was the right kind of motivation but it only made me feel extremely powerless and my life still ended up shitty.

What you should do is start looking for the true you, one that is worthless but happy. I mean going for the career in physics at 35 is pretty worthless but if your life is in shitter anyway it shouldn't matter all that much.

You need to get your shit together anon. Go learn a tradeskill, they're making a lot of money right now and there's a huge demand for them. Plumber, masonry, electrical, welding... whatever you think you'll be good at. I was working at a GM engine plant while in uni and those guys were making 100k+ a year with all the overtime they were constantly offered. It was my backup plan if i couldn't find a job with my degree.

>>84235958
Its not about being rich, its about being comfortable.

Yes, my job can be stressful at times. I don't want to pretend that I have some magical thing set up where I can fuck off and still get through.

I came from a working class background, where my parents had to save and scrape every step of the way. It feels good to not have to worry about health insurance, my car, my rent, or paying off loans.

I think you need to find a balance. I'm fairly far from my family but I have a great girlfriend and friends/coworkers who care about me and who I care about. I live really frugally, by choice rather than necessity. It takes a long time before you stop feeling "poor", even when you aren't anymore.

The money is good, but I like the challenge of the work and I think I have a good life. The money is for "later" if that makes sense? Its not about me having wild shit now, although I do treat myself from time to time. Stability is the most important thing money can buy.

>>84236085

I'm at a coop right now as a junior dev, two more semesters of school in a few months and I become a full-on software developer.

Should I do it? Or try and pursue something I like more?

>>84236195
And the money they save from not needing to hire those cucks will go straight to upper management and execs. You won't get a pay rise, not for another couple of years. You contribute to exponentially growing profit margins but your own income growth is static. You are working to destroy the lives of those you deem below you, but they're your class; the working class. The only thing you'll accomplish in this life is propagating the gap between your boss' gold encrusted meaty dick and your contemporaries.

But hey, at least your successful. At least you've got it made. You're a made man.

>>84236205
Nah dude, I get to retire one day if I keep investing well.

My hope is one day I can wake up old and know that I can do anything I want and not have to worry about finding work because I've saved enough to retire comfortably. I want to be one of those cool grandpas who can chill with the family and enjoy the fruits of his life.

>>84236263
Since you're at a coop you already have experience. I assume the two semesters is for your BS. I would say do it, although don't limit yourself to the company you're doing to coop with unless you already signed something promising you work there. Start looking for other potential jobs over the summer and see what offers you get. There's a shit load of work out there, and all you really need to do is nail the interview since you already have some entry level experience.

Also don't limit yourself to jobs you think you are strictly qualified for. When I started at geico I had zero experience doing what they needed me to do. All my college work was as an undergraduate researcher doing parallel bioinformatics computing. I had one internship at the Argonne National Laboratory for a summer. Having published work as an undergrad really gave me an edge.

>>84236280
When I started here they threw me 80k a year, paid 5k for me to relocate and gave me a 10k signing bonus with full benefits. I've gotten a yearly raise since, over 6 figures now, and I get annual profit sharing checks based on how much money I've made, last year it was 9k. The checks are so nice the day we get them no one works and we all order food and drinks and have a party in the office. With the experience I have from them I could go apply to a lead dev position somewhere else and easily go over 200k a year in cali / washington.

>>84236417
I'm renting a house right now with a friend. Uprooting is the easiest thing in the world since I have experience on my resume.

Lets not pretend I'm putting down roots here. I can easily pull a comfy job on the coasts in a few years. Why is it supposed to be preferable to be stuck in retail right now? What do you want me to do with my life man?

>>84236388
Nah, he is actually one of the best ones. He was struggling with feeling worthless his whole life and was constantly pressured by his family to find a "real" job but he felt that he wasn't lazy, the stuff he was doing simply wasn't of him, which obviously changed when he embraced art.

Okay I will admit that I've read only his earlier letters to his brother but i can imagine that with purpose in his life all the later struggles didn't hurt as much.

Pretty much. The people in their late 50s and good planning or late 60s with poor planning could retire comfortably for 20-30 years got wiped out by the GFC, meaning they were now fighting tooth and nail for positions held by 30-40 year olds, who in turn were forced into 20-30 year olds who were pretty much forced out of the industry only to be met with 5 years experience graduate positions.

12 years later:

37, 76k/yr, almost full benefits, have to pay 1.25% of paycheck for healthcare starting next year. Wife makes 73k/yr now so household in come 149k/yr. On top of that I have side gigs making 5-7k/yr, over 100k in investment accounts, at 25% vetting for pension, 180k home equity, 35k in regular checking account.

Doing ok but could have done much better. It's never enough. One thing they don't tell you about saving is the setbacks the come along-- at least 3 $10k emergencies over 10 years, house renovation and maintenance at least 50k over the last 10 years,

Pic related, you can see my house in this pic

I live in Minneapolis. So far I've made 21k this year and its only half way thru. Good thing is I make double time for my over time, which is 32/hr. Bad thing is my job is high stress, and while upward mobility is begged for nobody wants to go up because the stress coupled with high turn over on upper level positions damages job security

>>84235261

You sound like a fucking dunce and snow-flake.

It is a fact that some people will have it better, easier than you. It is a fact that some people will always be better than you.

That does not negate the fact that personal responsibility accounts determines your success, There's a whole flawed idea coming from leftists that all of your problems are external, which it might be in some instances but overall it isn't.

Holy shit, this exactly where I am at right now. Just started 4 months ago.

>>84243440

A trap I fell into early on was that I was so happy to have steady salary and benefits that I did not excel for more until I was 31 or so-- once you get acclimated to your job, start branching out to see how else you can either make money or make your life better. I may only make an extra 5-7k a year from side gigs but it helps my brain stay off my main job

>>84243398

it's mostly luck- starting from genetics which dictate a lot, to people you happen to know and circumstance, the market when you graduate, etc

unless you are an actual superman that can take charge of his destiny completely and go past his genetic potential and circumstance, but that's extremely rare... for most of us, it's almost 100% luck, let's not kid ourselves... if you are successful, it's 100% luck no matter how much effort you put in: the effort is 0% the luck is everything

I think there is a philosophical error in calling genetics luck. like without your genes there is no you to be lucky or unlucky.

You could extend what you're saying even farther and say that everyone is 100% a combination of their genes and experiences, both thing you don't control, and say there is no free will and everything is luck.

Maybe it's true in theory but it's an utterly impractical way to think and look at the world.

If I have to spell out Anon's point, you are a cog in someone else's machine. A machine that is making the working class obsolete for the sake of larger profits for companies and the 1 percent.
You are an utterly ignorant and immoral person if you deny your part in the destruction of people's working lives, and also a callous one if you realise what you are part of and continue on anyways.
What will happen when the algorithms write their own code? Could be today, could be in twenty years, but you will become obsolete and tossed aside like the 'plebs' you spitefully scorn.

he, like most people are just happy if they aren't(apparently) the next in line to get fucked. since there are clearly people ahead of him to get fucked by the 1 percent he feels comfortable, and thinks he will surely die before his job goes too. I think there's a quote that goes with this mentality, something about "and i said nothing", surely someone here knows it.

Anyway it's how we are all going to either end up on government welfare, or all end up starving in the streets like africans.

Most people work entry level jobs.

I get by just fine on minimum wage because I download all the movies, music etc. I want and don't have kids to support so all my money just goes on bills and food with a bit left over for whenever my m8s want to go out and do something.

It's when you start trying to get a job that pays 2x or more then minimum wage you start running into resistance, and need qualifications, education etc. Seriously, do it.

I wouldn't want it to come to that. However, capitalism of all types assumes that there is an economy e.g. humans buying and selling goods and services to each other. If most of the humans no longer have a skill/ability/knowledge to sell, then they can't buy goods or services themselves which means you have no market and therefore no free market.
Marx, as far as I know, was only commenting on how eventually capitalism might fail due to cronyism, wealth disparities or automation, leading to communism becoming a nescessity rather than the forced meme that was previous communist failures.
Automation should be a good thing for everyone with a star trek-esque end to resource scarcity, in theory. Leaving everyone time, should they want it, to 'improve our mind and life's instead of performing the menial tasks which are work.
If it comes to this form of automated communism, then that's what it comes to. But humans becoming obsolete is a boogie man that is coming for all of us.

Because the powers that be could stay omnipotent and leave the rest of us to regress back into subsistence agriculture or begging for the scraps on the rich man's table. A dystopian regression of society.
Or at least a savage drop in living standards for everyone, everywhere, kind of like the similar catch 22 of globalism.

This guy kind of gets it. You are like a gas when you are born. You float freely and formlessly, but you have properties (genetics). As you grow you expand and eventually you hit a wall (an opposing idea), so you grow in the opposite direction for a while, until you hit another wall, etc. Eventually you fill your container (your environment) and take it's shape. Your existence is mostly reactionary, shaped by the things around you. So your decisions are really made by everything but you.

>automation will result in a dystopian regression of society

If that is true, then a lack of automation should result in a utopian advanced society. Would you consider a world without automated plumbing a utopia?

You fear the automation you don't know, but you embrace the automation you know.

>>84235261
I'd get all the health care I need, remodel my house, buy all the fancy electronics I want, get a comfier bed, build a home gym, and eat healthier meals.

Anyway, your assumption is that the world is entirely deterministic, and I'm not sure I disagree, but thoughts and moods, as well as actions and reactions are all deterministic too if that's true.

So you can't blame anyone for being an asshole because the universe determined they would be one, but you can blame them for being an asshole because the universe also determined you'd get pissed at the asshole and blame him for being himself.

>>84249699
holy shit you are stupid. maybe someone else will explain it to you, i just don't have the energy to try and deal with your level of stupid

>>84249796
yeah, I have problems with the morality of complete determinism too, but I also can't really refute it. I read that it's possible that we do have free will within a mostly deterministic universe, but I don't know.

>you're supposed to graduate at 21

I graduated at 22, current year and I didn't go to the convocation

>first job promotion at 22

I'm 22 currently, recently graduated and 7 months without work currently

Guess it's my fault.

>>84235261
Determinism is utterly morally bankrupt and is the antithesis of human civilization. Pathetic nihilist dreg, crawl back into your self-dug hole and die there. This world has no need for your kind.

>>84249699
You can have too much or too little automation, like I admitted before, I display classical luddite sensibilities.
Plumbing is great and I've actually done a little myself, but its installation in my house is a job for someone. Support services and construction of the infrastructure for waste disposal is a job for someone. All good blue collar work to be sure. However I believe with all my heart that the automation that is occurring now is dangerous because it sustains no jobs and at the very least lowers a human's worth and therefore how much money you can demand for any given task, and job security and so on.
Like that video above of some guy on YouTube talking about how research in the law field is animated and low level stock brokerage is dead, that's the beginning of the problem, there are fewer and fewer entry level and climb the ladder positions anymore
Look I'm getting tired, I do recommend cgp greys 'humans need not apply' and whatever else as further reading and listening on the matter.
I don't think this new wave of automation is good for anyone and I stand by that opinion.
Always anticipate the worst scenario.

Reminder that Sean Connery would have killed Vesper the moment he found out she was sent to tag along with him. And yes, I mean literally kill her, Sean Connery got women killed for kicks, the bad guys girl friend in Goldfinger, the bad guys girl friend in Dr No. He would have knocker her out (literally, not figuratively) on that train and thats the last he would have saw of her.

She has more years of experience on you anon, most people never realize this.

Someone like that was obviously a pageant child with parents that forced them into shows, studios, model sessions and commercial work probably starting at age 10 and it only got worse from there.

Super motivated Go Getter parents that forced her into talent shows, lots and lots of late night training and dance classes, as well as singing and exercise the second they say one ounce of baby fat anywhere on her along with the strict diets and sleep regimens to keep that glowing skin at all times.

After school it was straight to talent training or music classes, every single weekend was spent either training or auditioning for a part among all the other talent kids with insane motivated parents that shove their children into that nightmare. Only when they are around each other they get ten times more competitive because each parent has to be the single most motivated one who puts their child into the most work. So the immediate week after the audition is the worst week of their life, even more so if they did not get the job they were trying out for.

So yea she probably has a good 11-12 years more work experience than you. But I bet you have fonder memories of your 13th birthday or 12 Christmas where you go to have a childhood, eat candy and hang out with friends and have generally zero cares in the world.

That comes after years of going to parties, benefits, donating time and money constantly, and being forced to hang out with unbelievably boring or pretentious fucking people over and over again just to get in on a first name basis so that will lead to work and popularity.

Politicians never have to put up with the sheer amounts of bullshit.

Give examples of those CONNECTIONS then, anon. Also, why would they wait until their 30's to use those connections? Besides, you can build connections with people even if you're not born with them. Especially with the internet. Or do you just feel like making excuses for yourself?

Join the Navy. If you're a dirty foreigner you even get US citizenship from it. In essentially no danger if you're not a retard, can save/invest pretty much all your pay, and the benefits and job prospects when you get out are (for most jobs) pretty awesome. Can even stay in for 20 years if you like it and get a pension.

That's what I'm doing anyway. Will most likely leave after my first enlistment and try to make movies, if that doesn't work out go back in as an officer for the long haul
