Can't give advice if we don't know what you started as.
What career?
What education level?
Any certifications/licenses?
Trades skills if any?
What industry were you in before and where are you trying to go?

I'm 34 and following this thread

>>57052133
I used to work at one of the companies that makes these business class seats for commercial airlines. You should get a job there - it was an absolute joke, especially working from home (which they don't allow anymore). You can just browse the internet all day long and collect 100k.

if you're not socially awkward then sales.
Sales even gives you liberty to fabricate your resume since you can rationalize it as simply selling yourself as a proof of ability for the role.

careers are a scam. stack sats and wait.

how difficult would it be to land a job working at a railroad company, or water treatment plant? seems like those would be easy jobs without much prior training needed

>>57055027
I interviewed for a railroad company not long ago. The pay was $20 an hour and some days they work 5 hours and some days they work 14. They also rotate shifts so its five on 3 off. Basically you can never have any plans or social life. I'd recommend bus driver for an entry level job for people approaching 40. They pay decent, not hard on the body, and good chance of getting a pension after 20 years.

Jesus this thread is depressing. Won't kick you faggots while you're already down though. Accounting can easily pay 100k within a few years experience and the profession is desperate for warm bodies of any age. Good luck.

>>57055487
would engineering degrees get hired for accounting? can do math and know how to play with excel

im a 27 year old crypto neet with a wife and kids but I feel kinda listless.... should i just join the marines? Or the marine reserves...

You don't need a job to be happy. Just find a hobby that gets you out more.

>>57055574
That's reassuring to hear. I'm 29 and have been looking for years, it already feels like it's over. Thanks man, hopefully your job is treating you well.

>>57055557
you'll beg to do house projects and crypto shit all day with your family after you sign up for the marines and get shipped to some hellhole.

I'm a 84 year old silent gen shitter and have never felt the greasy, smelly touch of another man.

>>57055644
but becoming a marine sounds like a satisfying accomplishment, plus I would meet a lot of other marine bros...
>>57055856
if I only did the marine reserves i'd hopefully never deploy unless we get into some big war. It would basically just be boot camp and training for a year and then have to do the one weekend a month thing plus 2 weeks each summer. It could be a comfy addition to a crypto neet lifestyle, at least in my imagination. I know in real life I would regret the entire thing about 3 minutes after getting to the MCRD

Are you just looking for any entry level job? I'd suggest merchandiser. They start near $20 and since it's high turnover you'd have to be retarded to get fired. I'm currently doing this while learning new stuff

>>57055027
>t. Water treatment plant operator
I currently work the wastewater side of water treatment, the work is cake 90% of the time, and 10% bust your ass manual labor, but you'll be fine if you're in decent shape. I mostly do rounds, readings, test influent / effluent water samples, and do light maintenance on equipment when necessary. Pay started at $19.40 for my municipality, but jumped up to $23.35 after I got my CDL which I basically got for free. Our union contract is being renewed 2024, so my pay will most likely jump up to $25 or $26 with retro pay included. Since it's a town job, my benefits are fuckin' sweet, I get over two weeks vacation, and three weeks sick a year, plus personal and comp days. I work 3:30 pm to 11:30 pm, so there's obviously issues with hanging out easily while working a night job. Getting my license bumps me up another dollar of pay and virtually guarantees employment for life with whoever I work for, and if I leave to another town / company, my pay will increase another 20k if I want it. My associates degree got me and lab experience got me in the door, but you can get this job if you're willing to work and learn.

I can't speak for the drinking water side of water treatment, but I heard the pay is better and work is cleaner, since you're basically disinfecting water that already has most solids removed from it and is being converted into potable water. As always, with pay and working conditions, YMMV.

>>57056328
tell me about merchandising
do you drive a truck full of stuff to put on shelves? have to interact with people at all?

My brother in Christ, there's a thread on /k/ where they answer military recruitment questions all the time, you can ask all your questions on there if you need to. I'll summarize the majority of answers you're gonna get if you don't want to waste your time.

Do not join the military. Seriously. Do not join. Period. It's not what you think it is. Your delusions of "patriotic duty" and "heroism" will be shattered. Ask any veteran if they would recommend you join today. In case you didn't know, veterans are the true gatekeepers of any future recruitment into the military, because they will tell you first hand what it's really about. But, if you're gonna go ahead and ignore this warning, you should ONLY join if you're gonna get a unique / rare skill or certification out of it, like a top secret clearance to help you land some type of high paying cyber security job.

But what would I know, I don't know shit about the military because I didn't join, so my opinion on it is a moot point.

You really want to serve one of the most evil institutions in the entire world just because you're bored? Are you seriously that pathetic?

>>57052133
Well what do you want to do?
If you want a desk job, consider studying to be an engineer or accountant. Or if you're smart, an actuary.

>>57056723
Might be too late for him for engineering or actuary. Accounting might not be if he already has a bachelor's

>>57056629
>so you didnt have to get a license to get hired at first?
Nope, I had an associates degree in "general science" that I got at community college a while back, but my main selling point was my previous experience working in quality control laboratories and plumbing. You don't need any license to get your foot in the door, but like I said, you do need to emphasize your willingness to work hard and learn. If this is a drinking water plant you're applying to, they might be a bit more strict on the people they hire, but if you've got a good head on your shoulders and no criminal or drug use history, you should be fine. This industry as a whole is hurting for new talent because all the boomers are retiring and nobody wants to work in this field, everybody wants a cush wfh job. The big secret is I can spend most of my time either reading or on my phone because the pace of work is super lax and the plant mostly runs itself, unless you get high flows during a storm, then it's all hands on deck. They're gonna have a hard time turning away a newbie whose a hard-charger and want to git gud.

I would also checkout the IUOE like this anon posted >>57056531

Are there any volunteer emergency services in your area? Like volunteer firefighters or storm recovery groups? I'm also feeling bored in my job, so I've put my name down for my local State Emergency Service branch.

so someone else transports the products to the store. you unload the products from the truck and arrange the display?

>>57056929
Just remember, since you gonna be new, so your shifts might not be ideal, I was given the opportunity to work nights instead of days, so it has it's pros and cons. Other places have rotating shifts, where you work a few days in the afternoon, and a few at night. Some are monthly rotations which is better and more consistent.

Another is the people you'll work with, they're the salt of the earth. I've met some amazing people in this field, and some real salty ass motherfuckers too. For whatever reason, whether it's personal life issues, substance problems, or just straight up being wired different, some people can be absolute bastards. Many such cases when working with tradies. For the most part, guys who end up in this field are pretty chill in the first place, and the shit-bags are well known by the others, so just take things as they come and try to stay objective. If you stay and get yourself licensed, you'll literally be recession-proof. Good luck and Godspeed fren.

37, similar boat. Didn't finish university by like 3 credits, and employment prospects in geology were grim anyway, so waged in sales for 10 years.
Went to the oilpatch last year and it was terrible work with morons who take pride in being worked like beasts of burden and their lifted pick-up trucks.

So going to cash out my BTC in 2024 and get into aviation. You can get trained pretty quick and into the seat of an airliner within 1.5 years in Europe. At least it's an office with a nice view.

I figured I won't be a good entrepreneur otherwise I would have devised a business by now, so flying has always been one of those things I considered desirable even if it is a glorified bus driver role. I like the view from the office.

is it difficult at all to land that type of job? any specialized knowledge needed? or just be a warm body

At 23 I got an entry level job in commercial insurance underwriting and there was a 36 year old guy who started the same day as me in the same position. Granted he had briefly worked as a "contractor" at a different insurance company, but still. Easy job, pays well, anyone can do it, etc.

You just can't be an antisocial autist.

Other than that warm body is about it. I just make shit up about the weed and then tell people its "like two red wines, and you can't really tell the difference unless you do it all the time"

The industry is super closed off though, most shops won't interview you without experience, its a lot like waiting tables in that sense, No real skill requirement, yet no experience = no interview.

>>57057270
3 credits is like 1 class. You put all that time, money, & effort towards a degree only to drop out with 1 class left to go?

Ok. Since it’s on topic.

I’m thinking about going to college for some credits. I’m 37 now. How do I go about getting into college classes?

>>57055549
i have a business management degree, and i can probably get the certified management accountant (CMA) credential if it's worth it. I essentially handle the books, payroll, and vendor payments for a company that does about $7m/yr, so I'm kind of the controller? I do just about everything here. How likely is it to get a comfy $100k/yr job doing non-financial /tax accounting?

I feel like I'm at a crossroads. I have experience to pursue project management, or some type of accounting role. Seems like the best two options in front of me.

>>57056659
I know that's probably true but on the other hand I watched a bunch of youtube videos from the official marines channel and they made it look like a fun challenge ...
>>57056705
what makes the marines so evil? Yeah they do what the us gubbermint says and I can't really think of a worthwhile fight we've had since like the alamo but that's not the fault of the marines, even if they do the bidding. I wouldn't want to get deployed whatsoever anyway.

No, Canadian credits are like a half of a semester worth of classes.
I took too long to finish my degree, and was already making $70K by that point so I said fuck it.

I became a trucker at age 36. Now I'm 40 and this year I will make about 120k before tax. Pretty decent for just shifting gears all day and listening the radio/jewtube/whatever

>>57057825
I should have said my 120k is Canadian dollars. 60k American? You must be working more standard hours. If you hate yourself (like me), go work in the oil patch. For some reason we are allowed to work more and it's legal

Thanks everyone for your time. I didn't expect much. I'm reading through it and you've been funny and kind.
I've just worked fast foods (family business). It's not the worst, but wondered every now and again - what if I should do something else? Never had any idea on what to choose, despite being good in school (especially maths). Actually, I chose computers at Uni and didn't like it, then stopped studying altogether. Oh, well.

>>57052133
Unironically, not the answer you'll want to hear, but obviously choose something with a huge projected job increase:
Trades, Registered Nurse, CS

The end, all 3 of those are excellent careers that are easy to start fresh, it's too late to do something that'll take 5-6 years to start. Do something that can allow you to switch fully within 2-3 years and obviously do something with amazing career growth opportunities, don't overthink, most people are fucking idiots and make tons of money. You didn't get there by being stupid, you got there by being stuck in the mentality of a loser. If you don't believe you can turn it around, you'll never.

Want something you don’t need a degree or any experience in to land a job?

Sales. My wife makes 85k a year and I make 70k a year, we both work in sales, and neither of us got a degree for it or anything. They’re both WFH jobs as well so our commute is 0 and we can raise our family while working.

>your wife makes more than you lol
Yea and I use her money to invest in shitcoins, it’s cash.

Apply for any government job, you can never get fired, even better if you get a law enforcement job.

>>57052133
sales or trades. if you can get a job for the government like a bus driver or mailman they get paid in that lower middle class level while also getting benefits and a pension to do a fairly low stress job.

I know everyone here hates it, but look at cscareerquestions and layoffs on r*ddit

a lot of people are on firing away from having to start over. I make good money now but I started at this job that required no special skills almost 20 years ago. I put in my time and eventually became a manager. But if I were laid off, I would be screwed. I didn’t learn any transferable skill, no certifications etc.

people saying tradie are coping imo, the path to making bank as a tradie is
>pick up skills working for someone getting way underpaid in your 20s
>use your little money to start buying your own tools
>eventually use your tools and skills to go into business for yourself instead of working for someone else
>by the time you're old and getting busted, you can hire some 20something to do all of the hard work for you for peanuts and perpetuate the cycle

Granted, if you are young, this is an excellent career path because an entire generation of men refuses to do this shit because you do have to eat shit for awhile in your 20s to get going and possibly wreck your body.

I agree that sales is actually a good option if you have the knack. If you don't know, try and if it doesn't work out within a year you only wasted a year. Retail is actually not terrible either as long as you aren't a sad sack and can establish yourself as a reliable and intelligent person. The bar is incredibly low and a lot of retailers promote management from within. I know multiple 30 year old boomers who went into retail wagecucking during the pandemic and are now in management positions making $50-80k just by being the one eyed men in the land of the blind.

The psyops performed on the American people to be against unions is outstanding. I'm not even mad, I'm impressed. I can only wish white collar workers got together and fought for their own union.

Emigrate.

Wow look at that mat
My old job we had restrooms by a beach with a lift station. Periodically we had to pump out the shit out of the vault or it would overflow. Had to break that shit apart with a shovel and the aromas would come out. Worse part is that even after you're done, the smell stays trapped in your nostrils

Makes me think just how truly fragile our society is, that the majority of people don't even know what happens to their water after they use the bathroom lmao. Hunter-gatherer-agrarian society when?

People in their 40s got fucked by all of the "life will never be the same" events of the 21st century

>>57057232
People switch careers in their 60's. Most people die very soon after they stop having something to live for, which is often their job. Life is extremely fragile and fleeting, and while shitposting and playing games may seem fun while you're young and sharp - such frivolous activities as an older person will quickly result in dis-regulated biorhythms, greatly accelerating the loss of mental and physical prowess. Just remember, spreading misery instead of hope bears a cosmic, karmic weight.

We are in thr process of decommissioning that screen. We bought new equipment from a company called Sharc energy. They screen it then use the liquid in a heat pump to heat buildings.
Their screening works so much better compared to this piece of shit. So I bought stock in their company.

There's a shift.
A Wells Fargo branch in Albuquerque voted to
be part of Communications Workers of America.
The Alphabet Workers Union is another example. They represented Google/Alphabet employees. AWU is part of the CWA

>>57066252
Good. It's about time they started fighting for their rights, the shit these companies can get away with just because they have no pushback is obscene.

>>57058802
No youre not. Youre just oversaturated with smelly pajeets who have no american degree and lied on half their resumes just so they can make it to America, which their cousin Pajeeta helped them get.

>>57052724
im 38 and started in a trade school this fall (electrician). so far its been pretty good but we'll see what happens i guess. and since im in an evening school most other students are 30+ so its quite comfy.

price out forever kek

If you've lived to 40 and don't know how to tactically lie your way into a cushy industry, then I'm sorry to say you're too stupid to do it effectively.

I grew up with some inheritance that allowed me to have at least a lower middle class lifestyle.
For that reason I've never had a job.

I'm a decent programmer, very much into financial modelling/industry research and have some accounting skills.
Where the fuck do I go from here.
I was thinking sales in some of the industries that I like most. Ideal fit would be software industry sales but seems like a very bad time to go into it now.

>>57052133
Basically any factory or manual labor job is absolutely desperate for people. If you can pass a drug test, you can earn $25 an hour easy as shit.

>>57053610
I'm afraid it's the IT call-centers for you bucko.

>>57052133
My pay ranges based on the job. I normally pull in 78k. I'm a professional hit woman.

>>57052133
I would honestly find some trade to get into, get enough experience to know what you're doing, and then straight up lie about having a decade of experience and try to frame yourself as some experienced expert who would make a good manager. Use the age to your advantage. If you want more, you could get an MBA.

>>57052133
Are the people recommending lying majority third worlders forcing their work ethic to their host countries?

It goes back to that old saying do what you love. Putting yourself through school to get a job you’re not even interested in will be fucking brutal. I make 20 bucks an hour and I’m totally fine with it cause I like my job. I make enough off of crypto to not be stressed about money

>>57067304
These roles are filled by new immigrants and international students who can't speak decent English. They are doing you a favor by going after higher roles than they are not qualified for despite having foreign experience.

>>57052133
Work at Amazon (they take everyone, no interview) to get some warehouse experience into resume then after a year or two transfer to manufacturing.

>>57067292
You just have to try something. Those of us that had to work tried something out of necessity. some liked their careers
I'm also looking to get out of ~10 years in tech. I did at least stack cash to transition with

This is my plan:
>go back to school
>get a bachelors in CS
>get literally any entry level office job (even if it pays like shit)
>after one year, start looking for a better job
>keep job hopping until I make it
Anything wrong with this approach? I'm starting out with zero experience, so I don't see any other way to shed my permaNEET status.

How hard would you say it is to become a truck driver? How does it work to get in and do you need to own your own truck already?

You can be an accounting clerk with any degree.

I started over at 30 became a finance corpo on front line phones. Got licensed, working for a private practice now. Will probably start my own practice after getting some credentials that the corpo will pay for

>>57067823
yes, this is a terrible approach. I'm a director at a PaaS company and I honestly don't even hire college grads anymore, just self-taught devs. they're smarter, they're hungry, and their experience is far more valuable to me than anything they'll "learn" from some faggot professor.

here's what I suggest: apply for jobs as a project manager, and in your interview talk about your exceptional organization skills, your ability ability to process information, and your willingness to learn. they're the most important traits for this role. it's a glorified secretary role, so unless you're an absolute retard, you aren't going to need any experience. you book meetings, you listen in on calls, you take notes for setting the next meeting. easy shit.

while you're in this role, express an interest to learn what the devs do. they will be more than happy to coach you and tell you what you need to know. learning the job in your free time looks good to your bosses that you're taking initiative, and you'll be trusted enough to earn promotions and raises. once you've gained the experience you need (1-2 yrs, maybe sooner), you can transition over a dev. meanwhile, you've a living wage along the way instead of having been saddled with useless debt from a university. you'll also have the skills to move to another employer if you get bored or want more money.

do this and stick with it. if you fail at this, you would've never gotten your CS degree anyway. good luck.

>professional hit woman
wow how did you land that gig?? im thinking about a career change and that sound like a dream... getting paid to hit women...!!

I was in the marines and I really have mixed feelings. I signed up in 2004. I went and marched in the desert for a few years and when I got back a bunch of my friends were dead from opioid overdoses. Seriously, my entire friend group from high school got rekt by the opioid epidemic. I missed it because I was in Iraq.

>>57067885
Just go to a CDL training school and you’ll be able to learn there

I’m only about to turn 21 but I’ve been considering trucking, waste water management, or building maintenance for a jobs to go into. Are these all good choices? I’m also considering joining the Air Force Reserves

>>57069128
I’ve also been at my local community college since 19 but haven’t really gotten any classes done besides basics and despite having a 4.0 GPA right now I don’t really know what to do with it

For entry level just pick up a job as an aide. I'd recommend a hospice care center because hospice is chill as fuck on night shift and you make extra for doing nights.

Save up your money, houses are about to get a lot cheaper.

Insurance companies are about to rugpull the entire housing market.

On Jan 1 2024, major home insurance carriers are going to be pulling out of 35+ states, underwriting criteria getting WAAAAY more strict and unless you’re preferred you’re not getting coverage. Standard and non standard people are screwed.

A person cannot buy a home without insurance. Hedge funds have no such restrictions. Probably not a coincidence.

California will be the hardest hit by the insurance changes.

After being fired by an employer do you ever spend money at the business ever again? Or do you never step foot in there again?

I’m 25 and I wanted to get some certs to enter IT…

I don’t have a degree though, so IT seems like the most tenable way to have decent white-collar employment

>>57069410
this sounds like it will hurt my dog coins, Should I pull my savings out of crypto?

>>57069128
I'm same as you, bro. except I'm waiting on apps from neighboring cities on water distribution, get some certs and at least your cdl permit, I got that and I already got one interview, the cert cost me only a few hundred for the test and test prep material, wish I had gone this route instead of college.

but if those fall through I'll just go to knight, get a paid cdl license, stay there long enough to get some experience, then go out on my own as an owner operator.

I've heard some homies that started being an independent owner/operator with only 15k: 10k on truck, 5k for repairs, and they make mad decent money.

for any anons looking into farming and/or just taking some time off: wwoofusa dot org

the concept is a bit hippie, but what it is you live and help out on a host farm, and at the least they give you lodging and a few meals. some might pay a stipend. Some farms are ultra tiny, and some are closer to industrial size, the hosts are required to write about themselves and their farms so you aren't let down.

I was considering this for a bit, but I found other things. I would for sure use this in the future to find out what type of farming suits me, always wanted to be a sheep farmer.

im 26 and have been working in funds management on 70k(aud). Just resigned because they put me in a bad role. Any suggestions on what to do next?

>>57052133
Truck driver, maybe specialize in toxic/dangerous/non-standard goods or smth. Or roadside rescuer in snowy areas

I saw this as an option and I almost went for it (1 year only)
then I realized I have to travel around in a wagiemobile and be dressed like a pleb every day at work and slavewage hard irl at work sites to get my pay up, only upside is that I will get a job and money quicker
I think I will only fix my education now and go back to uni and either study economics or it instead, or something even shittier that leads to an office job

If you become a CMA it's possible to become a CFO, the other option would be getting a CPA but that's likely a lot harder. I only know it's possible because a coworker worked under a CFO that had one

not old but i'm young and from a third world country. how do I make money online bros? still live with my parents so i'm not looking for bill-paying money and the job market in my country is terrible. might trade my savings but that's my last resort

Recently joined the IBEW union as a Jman will make 60$ if I become foreman. Before I didn't finish my EE degree so I worked wiring control panels in a union company. Not IBEW but is decent. Skipped the whole apprenticeship and just challenged the license with enough hours. Nobody realizes there is a shortage right now because of all the anti-union psyop, immigration and EEfags going into tech. While everyone complains, I will simply take advantage of the situation.

>>57072149
>go back to uni and either study economics or it instead
why economics? i'd like to get a degree in economics too

>>57072316
is the CMA that well recognized? I know CPA is the gold standard, and it's a lot more than just a cert - it's a license. CPA is kind of off the table for me since it requires an accounting bachelors, and like 30 more accounting units which essentially equates to a master's degree. Then, you gotta wage under a CPA for a couple years and then take the 3 part test. Our company's CPA got his license when all you needed was to take the test i believe, now you have to jump through all these hoops.
