do you have a degree?

Do your job, get money but focus on relationships

You're probably a tryhard and I'm better at fortnite then you anyway. Saged

I did three years of a computer science degree, dropped out to work at a company (as a software engineer). The degree wasn't teaching me anything, I'm self-taught for the most part.

Based

Never focus on relationships. Focus on yourself and the women will appear.

>>16939153
I've found that after 25 or so if you aren't in school dating becomes a lot more difficult. But if you don't want kids then don't waste your time

>>16939204
Same. If you can get a good job and connections then you don't need the degree.

Turning 22 this year & may start with Tesla in a few months. For me, I wish I had focused on relationships. Working my way up is so stressful. I've started seeing a therapist.

The best option is to save as much money as you can so you can retire in 10 years. Then you can live as a NEET and get hookers.

What did you major in?

Chase a check never chase a bitch anon. I WRECKED my early twenties on a girl, she cheated, I got depressed, ruined my final year of college, had to retake the year, she then got back into my life, then fucked off again, I barely finished my degree after 5 years with a 2.0 GPA. Now I'm 25, drowning in debt, no one wants to hire me. I started dating her at 19 so we were together for years and I thought we'd get married, funny thing is now I barely remember her face, but I remember the balance of my bank account. I know the looks my friends give me when we get drinks and they talk about their promotion. It stings anon.
Let me put it this way, I know tons of guys who's lives have been ruined by drugs, gambling, women, etc. but I've NEVER met a guy who's life has been ruined by money. It's always what they do with the money that fucks them.

If the person is worth investing in they won't take away from your work. Why would you have to choose between the two? You also sound slightly autistic, so maybe you won't have to worry about a relationship after all.

>>16939153
You know it is possible to do two things in a single day.

>>16939153
If you have to choose, go for the money.

>>16939180
Sounds gay

>>16939180
This. Focus on career enough to save up to provide for a family, but when you can, start that family and prioritise it.

It sounds like you don't care about being in a relationship at all. It seems like your career is your focus so focus on that. Don't let peer pressure guide you. In 5 years they'll peer pressure you to marry. In 10 years they'll peer pressure you to focus on your career so you can buy a house with a walk in closet for your wife. Basically, they don't have your best interest in life so you shouldn't care what they pressure you to do. Just do whatever you feel like doing

>>16939415
Bro, your wife is perfect

>>16939415
Jesus Christ you fucking faggot, stop wifeposting.

The point of life is to maximize your capital and minimize your taxes. Don't seek satisfaction anywhere else. Only sweet gainz can fill the hole in your soul.

>>16939153
Figure out what gives you pleasure and make that the goal. It ain't about advancing in a career, unless what you want to do requires you to be up there. Money won't do shit for you on its own. Figure out how much you want to live for yourself and others.

>The point of life is to maximize your capital and minimize your taxes

no, the point of life is to have kids and further the development of your species by raising them right

money is nice but in the end its just paper

I dropped out after my second semester towards a Math degree.

Self-taught CS. Currently doing CATIA Automation & if I land this position @ tesla I'll be doing Reverse Engineering.

It's fun but fuck me it's a lot of stress. I am constantly worried about not doing well enough @ work.

>>16942466
How did you secure that kind of gig? Did you work and jobs prior? What language did you learn first?

>>16942416
Imagine both being wrong.

>Should I adopt a career centered mindset where I only focus on "getting money"?

No that's retarded

>I'm not depressed, just not sure what people like me are supposed to focus on at this age

Stop being a sheep

>>16943353
Yeah the point of life is longevity and immortality that way you don't need children.

>>16939153
Focus on career for now. You think you have life figured out, but you don't. Save, buy volatile assets, and think about a relationship when you're 26.

25 and studying in SE, I went dark a couple of years ago because of the 20k pump, finding someone who's not used goods at that age is pretty hard. You'd have to get someone in their 20s but it's awkward as fuck because of their inexperience and the age gap showing. A nice gf/wife is worth more than the few $M I made off crypto.

>>16939415
focus on marriage, and LINK

>>16939415
her book was quite book

>>16939153
Career and making power moves. Become financially independent first so you never need to work if you don't want to or can't then he the bitches. Just like Al Pacino said gotta get the power first, then the money, then the bitches. You can always get your dick sucked at 70 but it's hard to compound your money well when you're older.

>>16939153
It’s not an either-or situation you autistic retard. Relationships don’t hamper career progress in the slightest unless you hookup with some cancerous thot
