Knew I was wasting my potential by continuing to stay, had already built most of my models while in school. Grades kept sliding, was paying less attention. Finally decided to pull the trigger, took out a 300,000$ loan, dropped out and turned it into 540K over the course of a year.

I took advantage of a massive arbitrage opportunity in crypto which returns 18-340% in a year and built a quantitative trading model with a win rate >80% over the past 3 years. My networth is 7 figures now.

I have rich parents which is how I was able to secure the loan. Rich get richer.

To preface, if you are doing the right things with your life you will often be surprised. Also, you are still better off being born an American for the foreseeable future.
However, when you hear people on /Pol/ complaining for example, it is because the social fabric of our country has generally declined. Wealth gap is extremely significant and you can see it. Money cures a lot of problems, but it has been sucked out of the middle class. We don't really have a middle class, we have rich and poor. Our political system has generally become corrupted regardless of partisanship. Lobbying, spying, gerrymandering and foul-play are beyond rampant, again. A lot of people believe we are in for a great depression again, I wouldn't be surprised.
The median income is 35,000 in the US and really raising the minimum wage to fix that involves modern market theory economics that really have enabled these bullshit wealth transfers we have already seen.
That is what is happening. Nobody wants to be in the service economy, but even medical really just seems like glorified service economy when you think about it, right?
I am not a doomer, however I think the corpse of the middle class will continue to be picked over by more corporate and government vultures. Further eroding peoples sanity when they see everyone on media driving new range rovers and 500,000 dollar houses.
There are some definite problems here and our political system is so washed out that we are going to keep doing the same thing over and over again while expecting different results. What's that called again, oh right, insanity.

I am considering doing a masters somewhere in between biochemistry and medicine, but I am not sure if anyone in the industry is willing to take someone straight out of university with a B.S..

I know academia including the sciences are pozzed, since ideology and everyone who pushes the desired agenda are paid scientific shills looking to make their mark on the world with no integrity.

I'm in ChemE, about 6 months out of finishing my PhD. with no jobs lined up due to the KungFlu giving everyone cold feet.

The other chemE in this thread hit the nail. Find a job, live like a monk and salt away 90% of your take home into investments until they start feeding themselves with their dividends and the exponential curve takes off. If you find a woman, make sure you discuss this part of your financial plan going in. That you might pull down lots of cash, but you'll not see it for a while.

I'm in a weird space because I had planned to move away from my school for a real job, but now I've started to realize that I don't have anything to come back to, and there's no reason not to start roots in that part of the US. I'm shotgunning applications to every beer brewing, yeast culturing, mining, and soft materials manufacturer in the state.

That sounds about right. The kung flu has made every employer think twice now, and a lot of them are also discovering that working at home is also possible (and thus pay them lower wages). I've been told that most of the chemistry work out there is mostly lab work, and I can see the possibility of said lab work being automated, but I do not know if I can land even the entry level chem jobs given that I will be graduating after this year, depending on its availability and surplus of applicants. I think that maybe I am worrying over nothing because I'm not there yet. My gf has been wanting to do the same in terms of living independently, she is family oriented, and I know I can rely on her in achieving the offgrid lifestyle. We have been quite stingy here and there since we are poorfags to begin with.

Funny enough, one of my instructors was telling me how he wants to stop teaching and do something technical like the jobs you have stated. He has been doing the same in applying to those fields and finally got in on some biotechnology startup that he is interested in because he can apply his skills very well in that job. I suppose investment from salary is the key as you said, because I will be entering the field in a unique time. Thank you fren, I wish you the best in finding something that makes you happy in salary and comfy.

Honestly, it sounds like your home front is solid which already puts you ahead of the morass of retards in America that decided to shack up with rank strangers. I wouldn't be that worried about anything but intern tier pipetting being automated in the near term. Synthetic organic chemistry that isn't bucket level 1-pot needs a human to at least baby sit it. And anything that requires research and development is too small scale to really mechanize.

Not a larp if it was I would com up with much more fanciful things than a uni lecturer.
I currently am a project manager for a CHarity and was nearly 'uncovered'. I came cleam with my CEO and as I had not actually lied' I did have a masters - just it was purchased from a uni mill , I was never asked about a criminal record because my initial check under a new name came up clean so again I did not lie. and I LOVE my joba nd the new Identity I am , I was very fortunate to have him keep me on. He as an employer now has my 100% loyalty and the job as I said is a charity. I still have not told my wife or my kids as I dont want them to think that this kind of thing is 'good' or something to look up to. When they are grown I will tell them and they may well say they always knew... I dont know. I would say to any of you though... VET your employees. If qualifications are essential to the job.. check them. There are many like me, I am far from alone. Also if you are going to fake a qualification best fake it about something you are actually quite the expert about. Good luck to all of you who are working hard. its the way to go.

Hello fellow truckfags. Wouldn't recommend this job to any normies, only for anti social autists (and even then it made me want to kill myself with 130's IQ doing a 80 iq pajeet job). But, for 2 weeks "training/cert" I made 77, 75, 73 my first 3 years...albeit living in my truck and working 350 days a year so basically min wage.

Now I own my own truck and do oversized for 175-225 a year (and ~1600 a week for my pilot driver). Would probably only make 120-140 OTR, but it's still a pretty reasonable roi over getting a nigger history degree and teaching niglets they wuz kangz for 40k a year.

Best part is once you make the jump to o/o and are in the top 10% intelligence for the industry (so like >90) you can quickly make other retards drive for you and semi retire into office work by year 5 or so. Very repeatable business model once you understand the basics.

Pretty good deal for lazy fuckups to unfuck their situation and/or cant deal with sjw degree mills.

I interned here and got a job straight out of college. It's now been 4 years and my passion for the job and company has faded. I've been slowly progressing to a "leadership" role which essentially means being an overly accountable middle management fuckwad. I've had a taste of that and it's not my thing.

I'm looking at alternate opportunities.
1. Possibly going to make a jump to software development, but need some training before doing that. I was fairly competent and enjoyed my programming classes, but I was a dumb for not following that interest and instead went the EE route focusing on hardware, shoehorning me into my current position.

2. Interviewing with a startup brewery as an entry level assistant brewer but the pay cut would be massive and I still have student loans + a home mortgage so the only way I could feasibly do it is by selling my LINK stack and paying off my student debt. But the upside is possibly starting a career in an entirely new field where I think I could be successful.

I initially considered being a lawfag during undergrad only to realize that the market was still reeling from the Great Recession. After some gap time and researching my options, I chose my program and am satisfied with the educational and work experience I encountered these past two years. Although I was limited to simpler tasks during my internship due to working part-time, I'll be continuing my development with my agency once I convert to full-time status later this year. It will take 4-5 years before I have been adequately developed in my position, but it will be a worthwhile investment as a career seeing how much my occupation is in demand.
Even as an intern I have solid pay and benefits from a great agency, so I am enjoying my last "free" summer before I start working full-time and start getting aggressive with my investing.

Sorry miswrote that, 70k total, my job pays below most US minimum wages tho. Probably ~60% from trading last year. I def ain't ballin out, but I'm not living abroad to make bank either. I don't work from home, I mainly swing trade and hold for days to weeks. and ya I also have (two) bots that trade for me. Mainly momentum based, all in python, trades on bitmex. Tbh though the math is dogshit simple. I think most people on biz could code a profitable bot but are too lazy to do the research. It's not really hard to make something semi decent in crypto. I built up a pretty decent stack in 2017 that's the only reason I can bankroll my trading. I'm definitely not a god trader, but a man can dream. I think I'll probably have to wagecuck for a little though, or forever if I can't level up my trading.
