i wanted to buy bitcoins when they were $12 but i was totally broke, i had literally $0

i didnt' get a job until i was 21 years old

before that i had to sell amphetamine just to afford to eat. whatever bitcoins i had, it was more profitable to buy amphetamine with and sell for 5x markup. i had to pay rent and eat food

yeah, if i had $1000 to invest at age 18, i would have turned that into what, like $100,000 maybe? i am 25 now

about 4.5 years, at a small web development / internet marketing agency. it's an LLC but has like 20-30 people working there max. in fact on my resume (see: >>13239880)
i split it into two companies because there is a travel agency that it was built upon

basically some boomer had a bunch of shitty, old websites selling tours in bahamas, key west, mexico. then he met some younger dude who remade all his websites, and then they, together, made a new company making websites and doing SEO for all sorts of local businesses

so both companies are co-owned by the same 2 guys, although each one basically deals entirely with just 1

>WTF is providing strategic marketing services
it's for some SEO nonsense. which i never did

it seems like i am decently skilled because i have 5 years experience. this is simply not the case

all the stuff i know i learned in 2 months, basically. then i just spent 4.5 years doing the same exact thing, over and over and over again. it rarely got any more complicated than basic PHP/HTML/CSS/jQuery

i am just naturally good at coding and fast, so my boss had me as like the main web developer pumping out sites super fast. i never talked to clients, i never did much of anything really.

the entire thing is fluff. i mean if i wanted to make a website, i could make a clone of youtube or 4chan or facebook myself, it's not that hard at all.

you can try putting on your resume that you're still employed at your last job, maybe talk with them if you're on good terms for a reference check.
also your location needs to match the job's location or else they will bin you. If you're applying out of the area, make a resume for each location you're applying to and put "relocating to X, FL" in April 2019

But if you really were doing work for 5 years, you need to come up with something more specific. Why feel the need to fluff if you really were working for 5 years. go back and remember everything you can and put it down.

If you're as good at web dev as you claim, you should have a personal portfolio website where you can showcase some of your work. You should ask your old boss if you can take screenshots of some of the sites you developed and put them up, or run your local repo and screen from there. Then put your website on your resume and in all your career profiles. You're bound to find someone who is desperate for a cheap developer and get at least 36k. Just be willing to relocate and also work on your soft skills, on selling yourself during the interview.

I can beat that. Fine art! Contrary to the odds, I did get a full-time job directly related straight out of uni. Graphic design for a printing firm. Pay was okay for a starting position, $60k ten years ago. Only problem is I hated it. Not the company but the actual work. Graphic design is about interpreting customers vaguely described ideas the making a series of 2D ads or logos or vector files for commercial signage. It turns out people suck real bad at describing what it is they want. Do prelim sketches, do revisions as requested, project moving along to final stages. Suddenly nope we changed our minds we want something completely different. And repeat. I once got so frustrated with a customer after three consecutive attempts, each of which were taken to final stages before the company last second changed their minds, I threw papers at them and walked out of both the office and the job. Never went back.

yeah i understand that. i have almost 5 years work experience in web development. i could make a website that is an identical clone of 4chan, easily, it would just take a lot of time and effort (which is pointless since the code already exists, for free).

there are literally millions of "applicable skills" but there is no guarantee that any of them will get you a job.

if there was something i could learn that would GUARANTEE me a job, i would go learning it. lately i've just been learning different languages (working on angular) but, when it comes to coding, each language is only used by a small minority of jobs. i could learn 10 different languages and only use like 2 of them at a company. then get a job somewhere else and use 2 different languages.

oh, i am. it's better than no degree. just like having $0.01 in a bank account is better than $0, but not really significantly

>relocating somewhere where your degree is needed could
who needs someone a bachelor's degree in economics? nobody

the degree is a meme. it only proves i can study something, do basic work, and keep at it for a few years. ok, great, i have a 4 year degree... and almost 5 years work experience, so that's basically just redunant

how about: i'll make your company a website for dirt cheap. literally i'll charge 1/5 of what my old company did, for the same quality work =^)

what was your GPA. finance generally required perfect or near perfect GPAs.
did you do any internships while studying?

Here's the truth for all you high school anons
Every degree is a meme degree in the current job market. Starting salaries only matter if you're able to get a job. The most valuable thing you can do in college is hit up as many professors as possible and ask about their RESEARCH especially finance/econ professors. Think of it as getting insider trading info you can use to pick stocks or sectors. yeah a lot is gay but you'd be surprised how much is being worked on that could be really big 5-10 years from now. Also professors have mad connections so showing an interest in their passions will help you land a job too.
It's not about the paper its about the secret knowledge and connections hope that helps anons!

>Why not just start your own thing dude?
I have been trying. When I worked for that web dev company, for a while I had no car. I had to take an uber (I also hate driving so I postponed getting it). Probably exchanged numbers with like 30 people who claimed to have wanted websites. People want websites, then change their mind. They're very finnicky.

>I own a business in SW Fl and I can tell you finding people to build and maintain a decent web site, keep up with seo etc are tough to find
I'll make you a website =)

Anyway they really want to see an actual business usually. They'll pay like 10x more just to know that the people have their own office. And yet, only one worker does 95% of the work. I explained that to the people.

>Yeah you can ask my boss about getting a website. But I'll tell you I would do all the work anyway, so you can just pay me like a fraction of the cost and I'll do it all. either way

>Print some cards and go around to small businesses, you'll find work.
I guess. My extroverted friend was supposed to be getting a bunch of clients, but has failed

Very true. Employers appreciate skill but they also want to know that you have formal learning experience from accredited universities.

College graduates are by no means the smartest people, because some of the dumbest people I’ve met were seniors in college, but it shows that they have the discipline to attain a “good enough” GPA to graduate and follow through with a four year degree.
