>Spend three years on a niche but very much practical and relevant subject>"Oops, turns out nobody's hiring, lmao. Get fucked.">"Okay anon, either go back to university, get a job, or we're kicking you out of the house"So what the fuck are you supposed to get? How do you even decide when it semes like basically everything is becoming obsolete anyways?The only advice i've received from my family is shit like>"How about finance? or Medicine?">"You like computers, you should become a programmer! I hear they get paid a lot!">"You should become an english teacher since you know it so much anon!"And the public stuff I search for is no better>The only things I'm interested in that are even slightly related are completely fucking dogshit for finding an actual job like history>I'm in that living hell zone of the bell curve where you're smart enough to realize you have potential, but not enough to actually use it>Worst of all, I'm an actual, diagnosed sperg. I can interact with people alright, but I sure as hell can't play the HR lady game. The only bright side of this is that I have a 'diversity' card so I'm not instantly tossed out for being a white, blue-eyed straight man.So the fuck am I supposed to do? And before you say, I'm not rich for being able to go to college twice or anything, I just live in a country where you can get in for free or at a reduced cost if you pass the exams.
fuck a career, do whateverlearn how to make a sustainable amount of income on the internet so you never have to leave your bed
>>34165810I want an actual job worth a shit, not a "hustle" or some stupid online scam.
No idea anon. we're in the most uncertain times in living memory
Well I'm majoring in Finance, specifically accounting because I just want a office job at this point. I was gonna go tech but thanks to A.I and All Indians I can no longer do that, so yeah.
>>34165900Does it help if I say my previous course was GIS?I do actually think it's interesting, but I am absolutely fucking clueless about getting a job. I wasn't even able to find an internship in the three years I did it. I had interviews, sure, but nobody picked up.
>>34165961according to my mom who knows nothing about computers or AI, cybersecurity is always hiring and you'll make 200k right out the gate and you just gotta do 6 weeks of this bootcamp to be eligible!if i had no morals, i'd use AI to build an onlyfans...can't even trust that the thots are real anymore.also, mom, whose floor im living on, tells me to go to a random college (i already have a bach degree) to talk to a career counselor about what i should do. So fuck it, maybe you should too, even though i think its hopeless either way. They'll probably just say something that's outdated by now or the next couple years it'd take to learn.
Anon can you explain to us what your "niche but very much practical and relevant subject" is so that we can actually help you brainstorm or otherwise laugh at you?
>>34166095See >>34165961But like I said, not that many jobs.I literally can't find anything. No fucking advice helps>Follow your passions!My passions aren't monetizable>Follow your skills!How the fuck am I supposed to find out what I'm good at when I never tried anything related to it? Fucking high school classes?>Follow advice from other people!I only get retarded nothing answers like "Become a doctor or a lawyer"
Look you need to think outside the box and figure out where people with your degree are actually getting hired, not just people explicitly asking for those three letters. Either ask your profs, ask your school's career development team, or ask chatgpt.
>>34166144Did you read my post? I already finished. There's no profs anymore, and there was never a career development team in the first place.

>>34165835learning how to use the internet to make money is not a hustle, its self sustainingthe internet is not a fad, its not going anywherewhatever job you get will require internet usage likely, cut the middle man outgo off and be a pathetic wagecuck without the capacity to earn on your own then, fags like you stay at the bottom
>>34168697Sorry I won't be "investing" in your shitcoins, anon.
>>34165761I don't know. I found a job that I feel like I can perform somewhat well. It's stable, it's not particularly fun but its something I can do and there's no real risk of me being fired. I've been there for so long that nobody else really knows how to operate the place or do my job, which gives me a unique kind of leverage over them.
>>34165761Just do something. I am kinda working for a tech company. I am finishing by bachelor in computer science this year. I have no interest in CS (kinda hate it) nor am I any good at it. Living in the shitty part of your country seems to have some benefit, considering someone actually wants me to work for them. The only reason I am studying CS is because of the advise from my family:>You dislike people so just study computer science.Absolute dogshit advise, but at least I am doing something. Still no interest in any career though. If you don't have a clue make some online test and just do what it tells you. Or do what most people are doing and try to become the most average person. Can't go wrong with that. And people from older generations have absolutely no clue. They may have experience, but this experience is just outdated or simply wrong. Shit like applying in person, suggesting that you work for free for a few months or bringing gifts may have worked a few decades ago. There also just were like 50 different careers back then. Now there are so many they couldn't even understand.
>>34168893Well shit man if I could just get a "kinda job" working at a tech company not even knowing tech yet, I would! Lucky you how did you get that? Do you know somebody that got you in? Are you just installing google ultron and adobe reader all day or what? > older generationsAre we talking the boomers or elder millennials like me? I still go try to apply in person whenever I can but I don't expect it to go anywhere really I just follow up on the posting your resume and info to the brass ring/taleo void 1000 times until something happens. What else am I missing?I went to college and was a nerd and had my brief creative tech "dream" career only for it to crumble under my feet to AI and now I realize as I am working retail I am probably actually worse off than a high school dropout. The dropout is usually better at people skills and working with his hands and definitely does drugs and parties so he probably built a big social circle of people who will help, plus saved the money on college. He didn't have high hopes and promises and have them crash down, so his motivation just keeps going while mine is buried under the rubble of what i was meant for. And yet if I didn't follow my passion I would've been miserable earlier than now.
>>34165835Anon, modern society is built on hustles. There's people bragging on facebook about their pyramid scheme sales rep position. The most lucrative jobs are jobs where you fuck over people and keep saying "I'm making ends meet, they should know better, i'm doing my part".I dropped out of medicine (after graduating lmao) because it's a customer service job where you're aware everyone is slowly dying and everything is slowly killing them, and it falls upon you balance your conscience and protecting your company (specially if that company is the fucking government). Worst of all, you are supposed to have top social skills to wash away the harm you make, survive in an environment where everyone tries to fuck over each other and where your worth comes from how many years you invested in bullshit degrees/accreditations you never use.I'd rather starve doing art. At least that's something I will be conscious of doing for myself without harming anyone. But you, you have to choose whether your priority is survival, ambition or living genuinely. Ambition is a load of kool-aid, but that's good enough if you're a fucking retard, which you don't sound like.
>>34169608>i'd rather starve doing art.you won't just starve anymore, nobody will even see your hard worked creations, and if that's the case might as well just leave them in your head or turn to AI to do em for you. An added bonus is you'll be constantly told how its all your fault if you can't beat AI, you must just not be good enough to be an artist. Only the best of the best have a chance, and then that'll be copied and learned from by the AI.I was a certified pharmacy tech at one point and I'll never trust medicine again, and that was before covid. Everyone is dying a lot faster now.
>>34169555>Lucky you how did you get that?Its just some type of apprenticeship that got popular here in the last few years. You apply at a company. The company partners with some university. They pay you for 50 % studying at said university and 50 % working at the company. So I get a bachelors degree, working experience and a solid pay in 3 years. The company then hopes to employ you, because you already know the company very well. >Are you just installing google ultron and adobe reader all day or what?Damn I didn't know the lore behind those words. But pretty much. I am not allowed to have any responsibility now so I do trivial shit. Learning about some intern stuff. Shit that was made decades ago with a fucking language that nobody really knows about and which hasn't really been upgraded.>Are we talking the boomers or elder millennials like me? They pretty much give similar advise. Not really much of a different when it comes the the "recommendations". >What else am I missing?A poor area. The area I am living in is one of the poorest of the country. In school I just applied to like max 10 different companies that of that type of apprenticeship mentioned above. A few agreed and I just took one.
>>34169701>some type of apprenticeshipis it catalyst?
>>34165961I've actually worked with GIS at my jobIf you learn Spatial Analytics and maybe drone piloting you could find nice niche opportunities
