What do you guys do for a living? I often see people talk about making 100k+ a year and wonder what kind of jobs they have

>> No.19719018

>Be American
>Pick non-shit major (STEM or business)
>Graduate with $25k debt but $60k starting
>Switch jobs every 2 years
>Debt cleared, earning $100k by late 20s.

And that's if you don't take the speedrunlol CS-in-Silicon-Valley approach.

Oh sweetie. Oh sweet summer child. Don’t you know /biz/ is a neets-only board?

I do QC work in a factory. which mostly involves proofreading labels printed by double-digit IQ immigrants and joggers. It's literally impossible for these people to not fuck something up multiple times a day. These people can barely handle using excel by themselves and always ask me for help on that too. I can't blame them too much because it's my job to find and correct these problems and also there are many aspects of their jobs that could be made easier with simple automation. But this is a boomer company and it takes years to get simple changes approved. I had to wait years before getting the green light to draft a new label template that took 15 minutes to make.

I could easily fix a hundred problems if I was given an access password that this one boomer protects like it's a family heirloom or something, despite the fact that he has does nothing involved with drafting or editing these label templates the entire time I've worked here. The retards here don't even use any kind of revision system for the labeling so if I had this passcode I could make a bunch of changes myself and no one would even notice. it's just fucking retarded and I don't understand why they make things so complicated

Oilfield. Work 14 days on and 14 off. Pays over 100k a year and I can stay home and do whatever the fuck I want over my other 14 days. 5 weeks vacation with pay a year as well. Not a bad gig desu but when I get older I’ll have to find something else

Good luck getting cancer from all that oil contact and it seeping into your skin not to mention. The toxic fumes you're huffing daily. That one of the reasons it pays well without needing an education.

Don't expect anyone to understand your position if his income is threatened by his understanding it. He's not just slow and needlessly obstructive, he's slow and as obstructive as he needs to be in order to hit retirement in a world where he would have been out on his ass if he wasn't a 'fixture' at this company.

This is probably something that isn't going to survive in the 'office culture' in the next few decades.

What the fuck do you think my position is offshore? I just sit in the control room all day and watch trends and make tiny adjustments. On a production facility you only touch oil(with ppe ofc) when you sample for daily readings which takes like 30 seconds.

He's a retard, ignore it. It saw oil work and assumed you basically turn a pipe wrench and make oil shoot up in a fountain all day. Its the same kind of moron that thinks the guys working analysis for a mining company are also in a mine shaft with picks on their shoulders. He probably thinks that everyone in a whiskey distillery stands around a single pot still made out of radiators.
