What do you want to do in IT/computers?

>>34196414
>What do you want to do in IT/computers?

Get paid to do computer stuff.

>>34196414
Why are you gatekeeping something that I enjoy?

What's your experience with computers so far? AWS, Containers, AD, Azure, Code, anything? Frankly, just knowing ctrl+k in bash won't get you far these days. If you don't have any connections as well, try an apprenticeship.

>>34196531
At age 16-18 I did basically highschool computer science.

I've been on the computer/internet from the age of 10, I was upgrading my DDR2 ram at age 13 to play the sims expansion packs. I know what programming is, the basic logic, logic gates, i know how circuits work etc at a basic level, I am not clueless.

But "AWS, Containers, AD, Azure, Code" admittedly, that stuff changes every year doesn't it, so why would I bother learning it?

>>34196544
Your next reply should include some variation of
>I'm trolling, it was just a prank
else you better think of another field.

>>34196531
>>34196544
Also I spend my entire life on my computer, I see no reason why I cant get a high paying job with them.

>>34196598
>No you can never understand computers because I have some weird personal ownership over them

Shut the fuck up, you aren't smart because you know how to use a computer.

I bet your mother smells of shit and your dad is a pathetic faggot too

>>34196598
You're a retarded faggot.

>>34196604
You don’t belong in /adv/ angry man

>>34196620
>hmm i'll try to beat this stranger at a game of smarts

unlike normal people, who don't use 4chan and think this website is weird

next time you try to engage in a battle of wits remind yourself you're a fucking dumbass

>>34196600

>>34196614
You could've shit on me two years ago and i would've too, but with the current stage of the market he won't get far without nepotism. We got people with MScs applying and for L1 positions.

>>34196634
Yeah but the thing is I can do this shit until I am 60.

You College graduates aren't actually smart, all of your schooling and shit is just laid out in front of you, you sit in warm air conditioned lectures, your parents pay for everything, you are surrounded by people smarter than you to keep you afloat, if any real world distraction occurs you laser in on it and destroy it.

When you actually get into your 30s, you fucking crash hard, and you don't even realise it, you become fat, lazy, the real world isn't as linear as your rich upbringing was, and by 35 you're basically cannon fodder replying to e-mails all week.

I need help arming a server for my company and I am on my own. If you are good I can hire.

I will run Linux on a 4U with this configuration:

Group 1: 2 discs of size 3.84 TB configured in RAID 1
Group 2: 4 discs of size 7.68 TB configured in RAID 10
Group 3: 4 discs of size 7.68 TB configured in RAID 0
Group 4: 2 discs of size 3.84 TB configured in RAID 10

First group for OS
Second for exploring a 192 core processor with one software only.
Third for running two 92 core graphics card on LLMs that utilize the data generated in group 2.
Fourth for running machine learning to orchestrate it all with proprietary algorithms that operate practically automatically.

I need help to configure the containers and absolutely everything. I need someone with experience on a payroll to monitor the beast

>>34196642
Try harder.

>>34196676
What do you want me to say?

That one day I am going to be worm food, probably after either a fatal heart attack or wasting away to cancer, and so therefore justifying why I want to "work with computers" is a foolish thing to do, even if you think I am stupid for not doing it?

Hey asshole, you're also going to die this way too probably, and when it happens you won't be thinking "man at least I owned anon that one time, hahaha nice".

Sorry that I am smart in a much more efficient way.

>>34196682
No, I want you to answer this >>34196650

>>34196763
You wouldn't hand this problem to an apprentice so why are you handing it to me?

>>34196682
If you’re so smart, why are you even asking for advice? Figure it out for yourself.

>>34197519
>Figure it out for yourself.

You mean start a company?

I can't do that, it requires a loan, other people won't give me money.

>>34197519
>>34197535
Also a lot of jobs are based on getting hired and people just don't give a fuck if you aren't going to make them feel good

>>34196380
First, get a job anyone can get at any time, and make a career out of if he wants, or put down at any time with no damage. Like cooking at a cheap restaurant or selling cars.

Then, in the evenings, teach yourself Python or Java or something and play with it a while to see if you like it.

Report back when that's done.

>>34197558
So just use your superior intellect to get hired.

>>34197580
Surely not working and just making you build the world and waste your 1 life working instead is the smartest possible position to be in?

>>34197564
I'm trying to do that unironically

I even apply for things like construction jobs, or delivery driver jobs, but they turn me away because "I'm not suitable", I gave up applying for jobs a year ago it felt so hopeless.

>>34197582
If you think the best possible thing to do is to not work, why did you say you want to work in IT and computers?

You think that working is stupid and yet you have already admitted in this thread that deep down you know you’re screwed if you don’t get a job. Just make up your mind, then use your intellect to figure out how.

>>34197610
What are you talking about you actual retard

>>34196650
the fuck you need nearly ~4TB of OS allocated space for? give me enough money in a way that passes muster with the IRS and i'll unretard your shit, forget the other guy.

>>34197610
>You think that working is stupid

When did I say that? I have had jobs before motherfucker. I am saying I want to work in IT. Where the fuck did you get the idea I think work is stupid?

>>34196380
>41 years
>unemployed for 40 of those years
my personal goal is to achieve two to three years of work when I reach 80, unless you count owning a place and managing people a work, in that case eventually I'm working.

>>34197633
What I should have said in my OP was I have only worked 2 whole years and I am 34, but I am fucked up so I didn't explain myself correctly.

>>34197630
You said this:
> Surely not working … instead is the smartest possible position to be in?

You stated that working is dumb. Since you’re so smart, you should figure out how to just live without working. Why even get a job?

>>34197655
You're angry at me.

Because I don't work?

THEN GIVE ME A FUCKIG JOB RETARD

>>34197660
>>34197655
Or don't come crying to me when pedos and violent rapists run around causing all forms of harm in society.

When you were busy making a big fucking stink about me not applying for jobs.

Fucking MORON

>>34197660
You can get a job like everyone else. You know how to do this because you’re smart. You don’t need help from anyone else. Just figure out how to get a job and then get one.

I hired three people in my department for software development this year and none of us are geniuses. You should be able to get a job even easier than any of them.

>>34197699
You think I'm not smart?

You don't even know me.

First off, dumbass, you are not smarter than other people, because if you were, you wouldn't be on 4chan's ADVICE board asking how to get a "job at computers" as you call it. Here's a hint: People don't ask for a computer job. IT is a vast discipline. So all the things >>34196531 asked are completely valid and they are mature technologies. IT is not some fad based career. Technologies emerge, some mature and stay. If you know how to do AWS, Azure, or Container based IaC, you can make a lot of money. Hell, if you can code in COBOL or FORTRAN, which have been around since the 50s and 60's, you can make hundreds of thousands on a single job (and i have seen the checks the programmers get).

People asked you what you're good at doing and you never answered because you were too fucking arrogant to do that, which is already a bad sign. So you probably lack customer service and interpersonal skills.

High school compsci won't get you shit. It's not 2003, you're not getting an IT job because you can install Windows Go read the BLS Occupational Outlook handbook, go figure out what job market is trending towards, what pays, what the expectations are, and then chase after it.

>>34198021
Yeah, at this point I might as well just kill myself desu

>>34197629
So are you in for the job? My budget for the server it’s 100 K. I found it for 78,000. I’ll give you 22,000 if you help me configure and set up the whole thing.

>>34196380
at this point, you should be praying for a part-time job as a cashier Walmart.

>>34196544
So you have below entry level experience and knowledge across menial computer tasks, no education, no certifications, and you expect someone to hire you with a 12 year gap in your employment in the current job market which has basically destroyed entry level IT jobs due to AI? Honestly, you are fucked my man.
You also sound like an arrogant retard. My typical advice would be to try and get in doing some service desk type work, but you seem to lack both the technical aptitude and basic people skills to excel in even that mongoloid-tier job.

>>34199305
>Honestly, you are fucked my man.

Not really, I can become homeless and make a point to throwing bricks at every home and expensive car in the area and being off the grid nobody can stop me destroying your $70k car or destroying your windows, lmao
