what degree have you gotten in your country? my friends made fun of me for going to law school instead of a technical university but now i make almost double the average wage and going into the office 3 times a week, while they travel around visiting construction sites for like 75% the average wage
do people fall for the engineering meme in your country?
What degree have you gotten in your country...
Baking, then engineering
nursing
I don't have a degree I'm a bootcampfag and wormed my way into a position where it's tricky to lay me off
Seems like they're lives are more fun
18-19yo LAW
19-22yo Bachelor in IT
22-26yo Work (worst decision of my life)
26-27yo preparatory class for beaux arts
i don't want to die living a life that wasn't mine. Fuck it
law
also engineering pays well here
lol
kinda feel you tho, I work in law and it's quite boring and draining
when you get stuff done it's ok tho
are you actually good at arts?
I got a degree in history and now I suffer in the public sector
Why is it tricky?
None.
I'm no Michel Ange but I can make stuff pleasing to the eye. I've won a few contests and always topped my arts class through school.

I guess the good salary compensate it ? Personnaly I give myself before 30 to make it or I go back to IT.
Biomed
i studied culinary arts and now i am destitute
math
well then, goodspeed
yeah the pay is alright, I only have a bachelor's, so not a proper lawyer, and for that it pays quite well, can't complain in that regard
but it's definitely no passion for me
working on political science, useless degree I know
Why is it tricky?
american corporations get tax credits fpr employing military veterans. and, if his company is anything like ones ive worked for, they run a skeleton crew and have no hiring budget so any warm body is indispensable
animal husbandry
Femcel detected
Troon nurse

could you build an oven that bakes 125000 cakes per year with only equipment from before the cold war?

Is it permanent? We have a similar system here, though companies only get a 6 month subsidy for hiring someone who served in the military.
No Degree, but now at 25 I want to enter CS.
If "getting a fucking job" wasn't an issue I'd go for a philosophy degree.
history and polisci
Won't they just train an LLM on laws and make you redundant?
Why is it tricky?
I opted to maintain a bunch of old shit nobody else wanted to until I became a single point of failure
None. I'm a loser drop out and I will always remain poor.
thanks bro. My delusional take is that if you love something and don't mind counting hours you should find success in it eventually
but it's definitely no passion for me
Do you think about changing or you're fine with it ?
I want to enter CS.
You should if you like it. European companies are in desperate needs of great skilled engineers that know what they are talking about.
i dont even know what that is

Heck Yeah, I love it. Blamed myself for not passing entry exams 9 years ago
I've been thinking about this a lot, but so far I'm sticking with the safe route, guess I'm a risk averse person. Further problem is my passions aren't productive like yours, I like a bit chuddy stuff like history, military, geography, politics, wouldn't know how to turn them into money and wouldn't know if I'd still find it enjoyable learning about them if they were my job. It really depends on how well I'm doing at work on a particular day on whether I believe it's a good decision or not. My ideal route is to save and invest a lot now and have enough money to chill and do whatever later. I may regret that when I'm no longer young, idk, I hope not.
You should be fine then. What's your plan roughly ? Are you starting september ?
Yeah, I also practice by myself in coding languages and read academic textbooks by myself.
I'm studying math, will probably work in tech to develop new ai architectures.
I graduated as a medical doctor and almost every day of my life I wish I hadn't. I should've been a marine biologist like I'd wanted.
We have the highest number of attorneys per capita. The market is so saturated hare it ain't hard to find an Uber driver who has passed our bar (OAB) exam.
excellent. If you go to uni your comrades will be fresh kids without much guidance or maturity/work ethics. You can outperform them and top the class which will brings your pro and educationnal opportunities
guess I'm a risk averse person.
Used to be exactly like that (education + genetics), then I started to think each time I was scared "What's the worst that can happen ?" At worst I lose some time and money. Then most risks became fine to be taken.

I asked myself the same questions and had the same fear we're really similar on that. I tried to find an answer and honestly there's none, after living for a bit you need to start accepting that some roads will be closed down and that you need to double down on the ones still open.
But your plan sounds good if you can scale your earnings
master's degree on mathematics
I will start a PhD next year
I got a PhD in computer engineering.
No degree
Studied nursing for 3 semesters but dropped out because I hated it being on campus. I was always high everyday I was there. Social anxiety very strong.
BA in Econ. I’m thinking about law school myself but it’s a doctorate degree here in the USA. A PhD would make a lot of sense for me but I just don’t want to go through 6+ year program.
yeah, guess it's just part of becoming older
thanks for your advice
hope things turn out well for you
