im getting fucked in my ass with dildos EVERY SINGLE DAY!
lower your tone when talking to me BOY!
im getting fucked in my ass!
that makes me a better man than you!
Specially when they are getting paid more than your average white collar homosexual nowadays. Since everyone wants to go to college and no wants REAL work lmao
Really depends on where and which jobs, but I know alot of people from my generation that are doing far better being a car mechanic for example, than having a masters degree in some random shit and end up working on a grocery store (because it actually pays better than whatever job they can get related to their masters)
Sorry I phrased it poorly, they chose working on grocery store over the white collar job their masters would get them BECAUSE they get paid more there lol

I run contracts for oil rigs and I make 200k for 50 hours of work a week
Plus I don’t have to stand on an oil rig in the middle of the ocean jerking off into the Gulf of Mexico on smoke breaks. If I was having sex I could have it any time I wanted theoretically
Goes to show it’s not how hard you work it’s how smart you work
>good goy, work constantly and fuck up your body for Mr shecklestein and drink yourself to death on your day off
Why are 100% of trade workers retards and proud of it?
Men have an interent psychological need to earn and provide. Companies exploit this shit into making them think a man has to work constantly or he's not a good "provider". The reality is that early tribal humans never worked more than a few hours per day unless hunting, which is only done 1-2 times a week. The fact we release hormones that destroy our organs and joints if we work too much is a huge biological sign we were never meant for very long hours.
>fuck up your body
Learn how to properly use your muscles and you won't fuck up your body. I'm not sure why this is difficult for people to understand.
Humans aren't constantly lifting with perfect form and working long shifts makes it easier to slip up. Do that for years in a row and injuries will occur.
The average person has no idea how to properly lift something from the ground. Combine this with a lack of flexbility due to chairs and it's inevitable that you'll fuck your shit up.
There are laborers in third world countries who spend decades lifting heavy all day every day shit without destroying their bodies. Meanwhile American fatasses hurt their back just bending over.
I work as a male nurse and from 8 hour shift I work 2. The rest is sitting on my ass earning money for literally just existing. Shits cash. Fuck workaholics
Imagine being proud of a garbage low paying job where you have to work triple digit hours just to make enough money while destroying your body.
I think I'll keep my freelance job where I work when I want, where I want for a few hours a day.
Those rig workers make a small fortune for what they do. But they’re all only there because it’s their only shot at that kind of money without either being self employed or smart enough to make it elsewhere. And it also shows when a down cycle happens because they spend what little time they do have getting loans on ridiculously overpriced shit. Pro tip: if you want to get some kino stuff on the cheap, wait for a down turn in the oilfield. Most of these guys will be so desperate to offload it you can basically just take over payments on what’s owed: whether it’s a truck, boat, camper
Since when should we be talking with respect to a slave destroying his health to, for sure, pay all the loans he contracted to consume like a little bitch?
my company sends people to rigs
its good money, and its workers market now, people work 6 weeks offshore and earn like 10K USD, spend 6 weeks with their families while working easy part time jobs for an additional 500 USD per week, totalling up to something like 12-14K per three months
if you are lost, have no aims or looking to transition away from retail etc, go to an offshore course and see if it works out
jesus that's fucking pathetic, that's less than 60k a year! you don't see your family, you're stuck on a rig for half your year, that's a completely average wage. you can't maintain a SwoleShack routine, no regular hobbies, your diet probably goes to shit and the stress of those days probably dumps your test. why the fuck would you do that so you can get payed like an average plumber?
This. Directionless cunts roll into Perth and fuck up on meth until it's time to go back out to the sausage party and make 2 grand a week in long hours of dangerous nothing.

This is true with physical jobs too.

Actual gaslighting.
I work 45 hours a week and if I did it for 100 hours I'd fucken die because it's actual work. I'll raise my tone all the way to Michael Jackson with this motherfucker. HeeHEE
Thats like your opinion man. If you were dutch you'd feel the same but change the number from 40 to 35 hours 🙂
Not everyone can live a priviledge life or be born in a first world country
Working a blue collar job makes you stronger than lifting weights. Weightlifting may make you more cut and defined, but you won’t have the raw strength and power of a logger or a construction worker with a beer belly.
Give me some pretty boy who lifts weights vs a Blue Collar worker who works 48+ Hours a week in a physically demanding job and i’ll put my money on the working man every time.
I guarantee i may have a bigger belly, or i may be shorter (5'6"ft even) but i’d run house on anyone of you little queers who think you’re tough because you can lift weight on some little machine equipment.
I guarantee i could whoop any of your asses. I am private contractor who does Remodeling, brick masonry, land clearing, trash removal and i’ve worked since i was 15 years old.
Copium
White collar wagies have time to lift and properly sleep with good nutrition.
Physical labor slaves have it harder and if you hurt yourself, well wagie looks like you can't work no more.
This isn't including the 85IQ geniuses you're surrounded by who are all divorced or trailer trash with problems that are easily fixable
Jokes on you pal, I dont even lift any really heavy weights at the gym. It's all narcissistic bodybuilding purely out of vanity. When I get callouses I file them down and apply a really good handlotion so my hands stay flawless and smooth. Often after brushing my long, thick hair (it reaches halfway down my back).
God damn I'm so fucking pretty, and I'm also on NEETbux.
Please keep working hard, I'll keep making teens wet instead.
i spent more than 15 years working construction and labour jobs, and finally quit being a heavy duty mechanic. I assure you that work has never done anything but break my body down. lifting made me the strongest guy in my shop by a sizeable margin, and is likely the only thing that spared my back given the general disrepair of the people around me. you're fucking delusional.
Lol this guy got doxxed. His daddy owns the company and he doesn’t even need the hard hat except when we larps as a blue collar worker on TikTok like a woman.
>PPT would exceed a displaced social class literally working as slaves to afford food during the 1800-1900s
No shit.
>which is why he did it over what I’m guessing is tiktok or instagram or some fucking thing like a giant pussy.
As someone who used to do 70-80 hour weeks in busy season, you don't have time to make shitty tik toks if you are that busy. You are sleeping, getting groceries, or trying to enjoy some normality. Yes you do have 5 minutes to spare for bullshit, and we did that too, but not like this.
My worst week was 141 hours in 10 calendar days. I immediately went home and napped for hours and didn't do shit the next day. I didn't "brag" on social media. Pic related
Worst I have done is 80 hours a week, limited by regulations limiting work on saturday and no work and sunday.
Its not bad, if you can eat at a somewhat proper time at workplace, so you can digest the food before going to bed 4-5 hours later.
I technically "work" every waking hour except for like 10-12 hours during the weekend. It's just not very busy most of the time, so I can also do whatever I want as long as I can fit it in.
If it's on call exclusively you either set minimum (at least 20) or max hours per week but you're really just getting paid for the work you did. Ideally you have a regular work week + some nights or weekends on call.
Read it ask "work out" and thought how and why the fuck are you supposed to exercise that much a week. Then I realized it's just a wage being a proud good goy.
honestly if you are young and working that many hours a week on an oil rig you are gonna be retired in your mid 30s with tons of money. might be preferable to zogging in some office job until you maybe manage to retire 5-10 years early if you were smart about it.
This. NEETs acting like working on an oil rig is like wageslaving for McDonalds. Dude is probably making beaucoup money. He's actually right, they need to lower their tone.
>honestly if you are young and working that many hours a week on an oil rig you are gonna be retired in your mid 30s with tons of money
That assumes you are fiscally responsible which generally these guys are not. Why save money for a home when you're always away? Why invest when you have a shitload of income and little expenses since the company covers housing and food on the rig? Why not blow it on fun toys to enjoy your little free time?
Also if you are responsible with your money and retire early, that's great. But starting a family in your mid 30s is going to be a lot harder. That may or may not be worth it.
this guy is working a minimum of 14 hours a day if he works every day of the week
if he gets 2 days off, it's 20 hours a day
he is spending practically every waking moment slaving away for mr shekelstein, to the point where he is depriving himself of sleep so he can slave even harder, and he thinks this makes him better than everyone else.
americans truly are mindbroken.
>lives on rig >counts every hour he's there as "work"
lel
riglets are pathetic
i mean the money is great but they are all gunning for the offshore chad positions
I sit in an air conditioned office making calls and checking data, I fly out to the rig for a few days once a month, and I still make more money than the hardhatcel busting his ass 15 hours a day in the middle of the ocean.
>”B-B-BUT I MADE SO MUCH MONEY LAST YEAR BRO I MADE $200k LAST YEAR BRO” >”WHAT DO YOU MEAN BRO WHO CARES IF I WAS WORKING 110 HOURS A WEEK BRO I MADE SO MUCH BRO”
I make $160k annually off a comfy office job working 40 hours (realistically more like actually 15 hours) a week.
We also throw away any resume that doesn’t have a college degree on it lmao so remember to go to college kids
You could literally start working on rigs at 18 and be retired by 35. The problem usually is not being a retarded nagger with money. If tradies werent so financially retarded and prone to alcoholism/drugs/gambling the profession wouldn't get such a bad rap. But usually highschool dropouts have no ability to think long term. So inevitably these jobs are retard attractors
Exactly. Plus even if you are responsible with money you are surrounding by idiots who aren't. Your only entertainment is often with them which encourages bad decision making.
This nigga bearing his balsa wood cross like he’s all hardcore. He gets paid a ridiculous amount of money to work his “hundred” hours a week (breaks every two hours) but works only two weeks at a time, then two off. Yeah, it’s hard work. But his ass isn’t working 100 hours a week every week. That “lower your tone” shit is a great way to get slapped, which is why he did it over what I’m guessing is tiktok or instagram or some fucking thing like a giant pussy.

wait, wait, I know. You are a programmer. And you do tech stuff, right? I aint even mad, I sleep in everyday like there is no tomorrow. But share your secrets, Nick Gerr.
but please up your tone, I have a wax excess
Yep. I used to make ~20-25k doing CAD work freelance and was barely scraping by. During the pandemic I put my head down and taught myself to code in c#, java, and javascript. Now I make 10x what I used to and I dont work nearly as hard. Life is what you make of it
I work for a company now, i did CAD work freelance. Completely self taught. Everything you need to learn is freely available on YouTube. That goes for more than just coding. You just have to have the discipline to actually push yourself to learn.
That's generally what I've heard. Dev work is more about being able to demonstrate the skills. Was landing that job difficult for you? I imagine you built a good portfolio.
Asking cause you're kind of are living my goal rn.

Landing the job 100% came down to my portfolio of work I was able to show. It is all about being able to show not tell. I do a lot of 3D oriented programming, and rendering my results in blender is a hobby, so I was able to build up an Instagram page along with my website and github. If it is your dream, go and achieve it, dont let you stop yourself.
I still think that a degree destroys self-taught learning simply because while you may not have fully understood the content, you could worm your way through graduation and it shows your employer that you can stick to something for 3 years. Even stupid 3-year meme degrees hold value.
I have a degree, related to the CAD work I was doing. And this job I have now is programming, but the CAD and product design experience I have from my degree is immensely useful for the things I work on. I do agree that having a degree looks good to an employer for the reason you mentioned. But I would also hire someone with no degree if they could show me they can do the work to the level I want.

I mean sure but is that really worth 3-4 years of your life when you could just learn the skill itself and just have to work a bit harder to get the same job? It's way more convenient too.

Well, if you're gunning for a specific job, probably not. But if you simply have a 3-year degree in your arsenal, the range of available jobs goes way up even if it is in random shit.

Well thats your problem you're focused on the gayest shit you can do with programming. Mobile and web dev is lame. I became interested in generative art, which led me to Processing (which led me to java), which led me to p5js (which led me to JavaScript) and my background in CAD led me to learning C# because it is the most popular language for coding plugins for my CAD program of choice, Rhino.
Which videos did you use?
I have been watching a couple of them but they dont really seem to teach how to code, just how to copy other peoples code.
It'll be very specific to the areas I'm interested in, but I'll tell you. I used a lot of The Coding Train on YouTube, yes Daniel Shiffman is a goofy homosexual but he actually is a good teacher, especially for absolute beginners. And I watched the GSD6338 series by Jose Garcia Del Castillo at Harvard GSD on YouTube (though thats super specific and more general than just coding, it also teaches you vector math and stuff, useful in my work), and I used some very specific videos by Long Nguyen on C# plugin development for Rhino/Grasshopper. At that point I also watched some random tutorials on C++ for OpenFrameworks but I did not like C++ so didn't keep up with it, and instead began using p5js more. See I found generative art and wanted to learn these things so I could create cool art. You have to find a driving force to learn shit I think.
Why do they want to work so much? I've got a simple job where I'm guaranteed only 40 hours at 45k a year. Outside of some more motorcycles or maybe a different house location I don't even know what I'd do with more money, I'd rather have more time and less stress.
These retards usually have child support and/or alimony payments and it's the only reason they work a retarded amount. They also typically drink themselves to sleep
I worked at a meat processing plant 80 - 100 hours a week. I was night shift and they basically didn’t let us go home until everything for the day was done and of course morning shift were lazy fucks left basically everything for us. Mon - Sat then on call for Sunday for three years. Made 80k - 90k a year but closest I’ve been to suicide.
I like how I get banned every second day for posting "off topic" posts about gym clothing, yet here is a thread about somebody working in a job 100 hours a week which has nothing even remotely to do with fitness.
90% of "jobs" are essentially slave labour extrapolated to economic instead of racial castes. 5% are daycare jobs for women and the upper-middle class, and the remaining 5% is for the few people who have agency in the world. This is why I am an overeducated gymcel NEET
>switch from physical skill labor to office skilled labor >hate sitting all day and miss the physical shit >get paid more, better benefits, and less hours in office
i can't win
>hate sitting all day and miss the physical shit
Physical labour is only fun when you're under 30 and your body has very resistant to stress injuries. It's just not sustainable.
You can make a ton of money from rig work/blue collar shit in general but it’s really not worth the crazy hours. Easier to just get a college degree and aim for a management position, you’ll make more than them with a quarter of the work. Most of these guys blow their money on alcohol and boats/trucks/ATVs/etc. anyway.
I work as a STEM researcher and since my post doc days I put in a lot less hours, maybe 40-50 but sometimes more depending on the week and due dates. I make $120k right now which is okay but considering my education and CV (papers, grants etc) I would be better off going private.
But I have young kids and while I love my field I’m just not willing to sacrifice any more of my time for more productivity and prestige. Just not worth it unless I was going to get paid at least $250k.
Bragging about work 100+ hours a week is just retarded. I’d rather be with my kids and enjoying the outdoors. I get a lot of personal pleasure and satisfaction out of my work but it’s still a means for supporting my family and lifestyle not the end all be all,
Based. I worked from home for a while when COVID started and I really didn’t like it mostly because I need to be in my lab to get things done.
I work with people who can do their whole workflow on a computer and they are loving wfh. If I was in their position I would too although commute aside I do like to go to work and use our great gym that is virtually empty since 2020.
You can't put a price on freedom.
Some slave bitch in a hard hat who answers to some fat fuck in a luxury pickup truck is not going to get me to do anything.

Not everyone can live a priviledge life or be born in a first world country
Working a blue collar job makes you stronger than lifting weights. Weightlifting may make you more cut and defined, but you won’t have the raw strength and power of a logger or a construction worker with a beer belly.
Give me some pretty boy who lifts weights vs a Blue Collar worker who works 48+ Hours a week in a physically demanding job and i’ll put my money on the working man every time.
I guarantee i may have a bigger belly, or i may be shorter (5'6"ft even) but i’d run house on anyone of you little queers who think you’re tough because you can lift weight on some little machine equipment.
I guarantee i could whoop any of your asses. I am private contractor who does Remodeling, brick masonry, land clearing, trash removal and i’ve worked since i was 15 years old.
You want real strength? Get a real job.
You won't be able to walk properly or bend over to pick something up from the floor in 10 years max lol. Cope harder wagecuck
>5'6
You could have just said that at the beginning of your post so I knew to ignore your opinion right away
Cope. IRL if you ever saw me you would probably just switch directions because you would be getting mogged so hard.
>You want real strength? Get a real job.
No thanks I chose functioning knees and a comfy remote work job thx
Copium
White collar wagies have time to lift and properly sleep with good nutrition.
Physical labor slaves have it harder and if you hurt yourself, well wagie looks like you can't work no more.
This isn't including the 85IQ geniuses you're surrounded by who are all divorced or trailer trash with problems that are easily fixable
t. Labor slave
So when your knees and back are shit in your 60s from years of not lifting things properly, not eating well and not exercising, what will you do then?
>5'6
What do you work on, model railroads?
Didn't have to do him like that my nigga
Lmfao made my day anon
Jokes on you pal, I dont even lift any really heavy weights at the gym. It's all narcissistic bodybuilding purely out of vanity. When I get callouses I file them down and apply a really good handlotion so my hands stay flawless and smooth. Often after brushing my long, thick hair (it reaches halfway down my back).
God damn I'm so fucking pretty, and I'm also on NEETbux.
Please keep working hard, I'll keep making teens wet instead.
You are a manlet so your opinion on everything is worthless
i spent more than 15 years working construction and labour jobs, and finally quit being a heavy duty mechanic. I assure you that work has never done anything but break my body down. lifting made me the strongest guy in my shop by a sizeable margin, and is likely the only thing that spared my back given the general disrepair of the people around me. you're fucking delusional.
What do you do now?
Nice bait. Now post body fellow 5'6" manlet
Lol this guy got doxxed. His daddy owns the company and he doesn’t even need the hard hat except when we larps as a blue collar worker on TikTok like a woman.
Get your study gainz up, boy
Nice.
We love casting spells
Anyone have the screenshot of the anon that went to the gym dressed as a wizard?
I work in a gym as security nightshift and I'm being paid to post on SwoleShack right now.
Stfu trade kek, or I won't sell you that Einhell chainsaw you need for the job on sale
>lower tone
>wagie can't hear me from years of work related hearing damage
I always interpret this as "please, speak more softly, I'm just so tired..."
>PPT would exceed a displaced social class literally working as slaves to afford food during the 1800-1900s
No shit.
Worst I have done is 80 hours a week, limited by regulations limiting work on saturday and no work and sunday.
Its not bad, if you can eat at a somewhat proper time at workplace, so you can digest the food before going to bed 4-5 hours later.
I technically "work" every waking hour except for like 10-12 hours during the weekend. It's just not very busy most of the time, so I can also do whatever I want as long as I can fit it in.
You work an on call IT job? I’ve been wanting to do that, just work wherever, with my phone and laptop.
Pretty much but for alarm / security systems. Have onsite projects sometimes but most is on call.
are you getting paid like 40 hours or more? just curious
If it's on call exclusively you either set minimum (at least 20) or max hours per week but you're really just getting paid for the work you did. Ideally you have a regular work week + some nights or weekends on call.
Just finished a 13 hour day on the jobsite. My back hurts and I'm hungry.
🙁 ngmi
Read it ask "work out" and thought how and why the fuck are you supposed to exercise that much a week. Then I realized it's just a wage being a proud good goy.
thats over 20 hours per day.
why would ANYONE agree to that? even slaves and prisoners of war didnt work that much. only child laborers in china and industrial Britain come close.
... no nigga
he just works on weekends too
so 14-ish hours everyday
That still sucks ass, he might get long vacations though
honestly if you are young and working that many hours a week on an oil rig you are gonna be retired in your mid 30s with tons of money. might be preferable to zogging in some office job until you maybe manage to retire 5-10 years early if you were smart about it.
This. NEETs acting like working on an oil rig is like wageslaving for McDonalds. Dude is probably making beaucoup money. He's actually right, they need to lower their tone.
>honestly if you are young and working that many hours a week on an oil rig you are gonna be retired in your mid 30s with tons of money
That assumes you are fiscally responsible which generally these guys are not. Why save money for a home when you're always away? Why invest when you have a shitload of income and little expenses since the company covers housing and food on the rig? Why not blow it on fun toys to enjoy your little free time?
Also if you are responsible with your money and retire early, that's great. But starting a family in your mid 30s is going to be a lot harder. That may or may not be worth it.
this guy is working a minimum of 14 hours a day if he works every day of the week
if he gets 2 days off, it's 20 hours a day
he is spending practically every waking moment slaving away for mr shekelstein, to the point where he is depriving himself of sleep so he can slave even harder, and he thinks this makes him better than everyone else.
americans truly are mindbroken.
>lives on rig
>counts every hour he's there as "work"
lel
riglets are pathetic
i mean the money is great but they are all gunning for the offshore chad positions
I sit in an air conditioned office making calls and checking data, I fly out to the rig for a few days once a month, and I still make more money than the hardhatcel busting his ass 15 hours a day in the middle of the ocean.
They’re absolutely retarded coping homosexuals.
>BRO I GOT STRAIGHT F’s AND MAKE MORE THAN EVERYONE I KNOW LOL
Imagine actually being a REAL ACTUAL WAGE KEK and bragging about how much you Cuck for the man.
>meanwhile, Chad anesthesiologist walks in
>makes $200k for part time work
>fucks your girlfriend while you’re on muh rig
>leaves
Tradie cucks are fucking retards lmfao
>”B-B-BUT I MADE SO MUCH MONEY LAST YEAR BRO I MADE $200k LAST YEAR BRO”
>”WHAT DO YOU MEAN BRO WHO CARES IF I WAS WORKING 110 HOURS A WEEK BRO I MADE SO MUCH BRO”
I make $160k annually off a comfy office job working 40 hours (realistically more like actually 15 hours) a week.
We also throw away any resume that doesn’t have a college degree on it lmao so remember to go to college kids
You could literally start working on rigs at 18 and be retired by 35. The problem usually is not being a retarded nagger with money. If tradies werent so financially retarded and prone to alcoholism/drugs/gambling the profession wouldn't get such a bad rap. But usually highschool dropouts have no ability to think long term. So inevitably these jobs are retard attractors
Exactly. Plus even if you are responsible with money you are surrounding by idiots who aren't. Your only entertainment is often with them which encourages bad decision making.
Imagine putting 0 effort into your 2 decades of free education and as result having to work 100 hours a week to get by
thanks for paying for my autism benefits.
that aside I work as arborist/gardener for like 20 hours a week because I enjoy it.
This nigga bearing his balsa wood cross like he’s all hardcore. He gets paid a ridiculous amount of money to work his “hundred” hours a week (breaks every two hours) but works only two weeks at a time, then two off. Yeah, it’s hard work. But his ass isn’t working 100 hours a week every week. That “lower your tone” shit is a great way to get slapped, which is why he did it over what I’m guessing is tiktok or instagram or some fucking thing like a giant pussy.
>which is why he did it over what I’m guessing is tiktok or instagram or some fucking thing like a giant pussy.
As someone who used to do 70-80 hour weeks in busy season, you don't have time to make shitty tik toks if you are that busy. You are sleeping, getting groceries, or trying to enjoy some normality. Yes you do have 5 minutes to spare for bullshit, and we did that too, but not like this.
My worst week was 141 hours in 10 calendar days. I immediately went home and napped for hours and didn't do shit the next day. I didn't "brag" on social media. Pic related
I’m surprised they all had time for that what with the hospitals bursting at the seams from victims of the dreaded Covid-19 omegatron virus.
>you should respect me because I'm overworked and underpaid
>t. modern slave
>less then
>then
Gee whiz, wonder how he ended up doing a job fucking nobody wants to do.
>work from home
>admin assistant
>take phone calls from customers on occasion, write emails, and do data entry
>company isnt doing too hot, not a lot of customers so barely have anything to do
>in essence spend the bulk of my workday posting on here while getting paid $20 an hr
>just going through the motions until I get fired or laid off for budgetary reasons
>resume finally has something on it
It won't last forever but i dont mind it for now
>if you work less than 100 hours a week, raise your tone with me, I can't hear shit because I work on an oil rig that OSHA hasn't inspected since 1995 and the manager doesn't want to pay for earpro
What a good goy, working for his boss owner.
Good wagie wagie, awww whosa good wagie!!!
>being a proud slave all work no life balance.
Why? Sleepy from working over 100hrs wagie?
I make 200k and work MAYBE 30 hours a week. I laugh at every retard who takes pride in being overworked like a good goyim
wait, wait, I know. You are a programmer. And you do tech stuff, right? I aint even mad, I sleep in everyday like there is no tomorrow. But share your secrets, Nick Gerr.
but please up your tone, I have a wax excess
Yep. I used to make ~20-25k doing CAD work freelance and was barely scraping by. During the pandemic I put my head down and taught myself to code in c#, java, and javascript. Now I make 10x what I used to and I dont work nearly as hard. Life is what you make of it
You work freelance or for a company? Completely self taught or bootcamp/uni?
I work for a company now, i did CAD work freelance. Completely self taught. Everything you need to learn is freely available on YouTube. That goes for more than just coding. You just have to have the discipline to actually push yourself to learn.
That's generally what I've heard. Dev work is more about being able to demonstrate the skills. Was landing that job difficult for you? I imagine you built a good portfolio.
Asking cause you're kind of are living my goal rn.
Landing the job 100% came down to my portfolio of work I was able to show. It is all about being able to show not tell. I do a lot of 3D oriented programming, and rendering my results in blender is a hobby, so I was able to build up an Instagram page along with my website and github. If it is your dream, go and achieve it, dont let you stop yourself.
I have a degree, related to the CAD work I was doing. And this job I have now is programming, but the CAD and product design experience I have from my degree is immensely useful for the things I work on. I do agree that having a degree looks good to an employer for the reason you mentioned. But I would also hire someone with no degree if they could show me they can do the work to the level I want.
I still think that a degree destroys self-taught learning simply because while you may not have fully understood the content, you could worm your way through graduation and it shows your employer that you can stick to something for 3 years. Even stupid 3-year meme degrees hold value.
I mean sure but is that really worth 3-4 years of your life when you could just learn the skill itself and just have to work a bit harder to get the same job? It's way more convenient too.
Well, if you're gunning for a specific job, probably not. But if you simply have a 3-year degree in your arsenal, the range of available jobs goes way up even if it is in random shit.
How do you balance learning multiple languages at the same time?
I can’t really choose because I like all of them, but feel like my progress is slow because I keep switching between mobile app to webshit
Well thats your problem you're focused on the gayest shit you can do with programming. Mobile and web dev is lame. I became interested in generative art, which led me to Processing (which led me to java), which led me to p5js (which led me to JavaScript) and my background in CAD led me to learning C# because it is the most popular language for coding plugins for my CAD program of choice, Rhino.
It'll be very specific to the areas I'm interested in, but I'll tell you. I used a lot of The Coding Train on YouTube, yes Daniel Shiffman is a goofy homosexual but he actually is a good teacher, especially for absolute beginners. And I watched the GSD6338 series by Jose Garcia Del Castillo at Harvard GSD on YouTube (though thats super specific and more general than just coding, it also teaches you vector math and stuff, useful in my work), and I used some very specific videos by Long Nguyen on C# plugin development for Rhino/Grasshopper. At that point I also watched some random tutorials on C++ for OpenFrameworks but I did not like C++ so didn't keep up with it, and instead began using p5js more. See I found generative art and wanted to learn these things so I could create cool art. You have to find a driving force to learn shit I think.
Which videos did you use?
I have been watching a couple of them but they dont really seem to teach how to code, just how to copy other peoples code.
What do you think programmers do exactly?
So its all just copying other peoples shit. I thought there was a lot more to this.
IF YOU LIFT LESS THAN 100 HOURS A WEEK, LOWER YOUR TONE
I work 0 hours a week now low your voice tone
Why do they want to work so much? I've got a simple job where I'm guaranteed only 40 hours at 45k a year. Outside of some more motorcycles or maybe a different house location I don't even know what I'd do with more money, I'd rather have more time and less stress.
>tfw 6 figures and a pension on 40 hours
LOWER YOUR TONE
>tfw too retarded for white collar work
>tfw to intelligent for trades
>Dumbest guy in the office or smartest guy on site
That's rough
>third world construction wagies can actually recognized how shit their work is
>fags in first world think it’s a bragging right
Lol
Lmao
These retards usually have child support and/or alimony payments and it's the only reason they work a retarded amount. They also typically drink themselves to sleep
Oil and gas workers are some of the dumbest dogs the proletariat have to offer.
I worked at a meat processing plant 80 - 100 hours a week. I was night shift and they basically didn’t let us go home until everything for the day was done and of course morning shift were lazy fucks left basically everything for us. Mon - Sat then on call for Sunday for three years. Made 80k - 90k a year but closest I’ve been to suicide.
>80-100 hours per week
>for 80-90k per year
you couldnt pay me enough to live like that lol
It’s how a lot of small town midwesterners live unfortunately
I like how I get banned every second day for posting "off topic" posts about gym clothing, yet here is a thread about somebody working in a job 100 hours a week which has nothing even remotely to do with fitness.
Really sad to see a tradie trying to talk tough about the shit-tier aspects of his job.
Would be better to stick to something like forearm mogging office workers or something.
90% of "jobs" are essentially slave labour extrapolated to economic instead of racial castes. 5% are daycare jobs for women and the upper-middle class, and the remaining 5% is for the few people who have agency in the world. This is why I am an overeducated gymcel NEET
90% seems high
How do I know where job lies?
>switch from physical skill labor to office skilled labor
>hate sitting all day and miss the physical shit
>get paid more, better benefits, and less hours in office
i can't win
You'll thank yourself when you're older and don't have a battered and broken body.
I suppose but some days are just soul crushing in the office.
yeah, i lift before work and it helps me get through the day. works out nicely
Just exercise in the morning, so you can relax during your office job
>hate sitting all day and miss the physical shit
Physical labour is only fun when you're under 30 and your body has very resistant to stress injuries. It's just not sustainable.
You can make a ton of money from rig work/blue collar shit in general but it’s really not worth the crazy hours. Easier to just get a college degree and aim for a management position, you’ll make more than them with a quarter of the work. Most of these guys blow their money on alcohol and boats/trucks/ATVs/etc. anyway.
If you work any more than 20 hours a week you are a cuck and a homosexual and clearly low IQ
>Giving your life to a israelite
>Be proud about it.
This has to be bait.
Based tone lowerer.
I work as a STEM researcher and since my post doc days I put in a lot less hours, maybe 40-50 but sometimes more depending on the week and due dates. I make $120k right now which is okay but considering my education and CV (papers, grants etc) I would be better off going private.
But I have young kids and while I love my field I’m just not willing to sacrifice any more of my time for more productivity and prestige. Just not worth it unless I was going to get paid at least $250k.
Bragging about work 100+ hours a week is just retarded. I’d rather be with my kids and enjoying the outdoors. I get a lot of personal pleasure and satisfaction out of my work but it’s still a means for supporting my family and lifestyle not the end all be all,
I’m in a stem career. I work like 20 hours a week and make 150+. It’s fantastic. Bonus is I work from home.
Based. I worked from home for a while when COVID started and I really didn’t like it mostly because I need to be in my lab to get things done.
I work with people who can do their whole workflow on a computer and they are loving wfh. If I was in their position I would too although commute aside I do like to go to work and use our great gym that is virtually empty since 2020.
You can't put a price on freedom.
Some slave bitch in a hard hat who answers to some fat fuck in a luxury pickup truck is not going to get me to do anything.
Slaves pride. This is how he stays sane. Be understanding anons.
