>>35060357tech guy here. Indian. immigrant to Canada. Age 33 (almost). Came to Canada to pursue a useless IT diploma at a 'diploma mill' (look it up) years ago.I have 7 yrs of experience in tech as a dev and a business analyst. 1 yr exp in India, 6 yrs in Canada in 2 companies. Got laid off recently. Dismal job outlook and career prospects.On a whim I had applied for a correctional officer role (prison) last yr. I am currently in the training phase. Complete 180 degree turn for me. Had never expected to work in law enforcement. IT job market is fucked.Anon, it's never too late to switch. I had contemplated RN path as well, but i'd rather be a doctor.I'm planning to study network security and do some additional certs to get back in IT industry. Also planning to take up some bio or chem courses at local uni, then give MCAT to study for a path in medicine, maybe if possible, along with my correction job. Also planning to pre-emptively give GMAT. Age is never too late. Study. Take my example. I'm almost 33. Good thing i'm not married nor have a gf. I'm stressing out on that too, since girls don't like leftover millenials like meA man is like a horse - until he can run and make money, he is valued. Once horse can no longer run, it is useless and is shot.There is a related quote in Awadhi Hindi:करत करत अभ्यास के जड़मति होत सुजान
>>35060433this 100%
>>35060435Imagine being jeet-tarded like this guy
>>35060464After taxes (and union fees), I'll actually be making $2k more as a correctional officer, than my erstwhile job in tech, which was in the low 70k range.i'll be having job security and the comfort of upskilling without worrying about getting laid off. Makes the most sense. You dumbfuck. >>35060357Go for nursing, but keep looking for better opportunities in IT. Same what I'll be doing.
>>35060497>>35060435Literal npc
>>35060435OP here, thanks. I appreciate your advice.>A man is like a horse - until he can run and make money, he is valued. Once horse can no longer run, it is useless and is shot.This is one of the most profound quotes I've heard on this godforsaken forum.>करत करत अभ्यास के जड़मति होत सुजान>"Through repeated practice, even a dull-minded person becomes wise.">I'm almost 33. Good thing i'm not married nor have a gf. I'm stressing out on that too, since girls don't like leftover millenials like meWell, there's still hope for you as long as you're above average height and in good shape. That's all women really look for.
>>35060464>Imagine being jeet-tarded like this guyWhat the fuck have you done lately?
>>35060967Made money and not in your retarded herd-following pajeet ways. Have you ever had an original thought or performed an original action, or do you just obey your idiot mamaji and papaji's programming like a literal brainless automaton?Jeets are disgusting. Human locust.
>>35060672>"Through repeated practice, even a dull-minded person becomes wise."That's cope, as evidenced by the pajeet being dull as a sack of potatoes. Talent and innate character exist.
>>35060357I switched to medicine at 29, you'll be fine.
>>35060357I'm going back to college at 30 with the inverse, I did two years for an associates and will be going for a 4 year (thanks, lack of ABET accreditation!) Very few people who change careers regret it. It's not like you're losing your old skill set entirely. We are entering a more and more turbulent era, but people will always need healthcare. Be smart and don't fuck too many of the nurses.
>>35060357Didn’t you start a thread about this months ago? The fact that you’re trying to downplay all the time you spent studying computer science just to end up wiping asses for the faint hope of earning a few pennies is ridiculous on every level. You’re a faggot for choosing such a sissy career path, and you’re a retard for even considering it. Learn a trade and start building a solid foundation of skills that will help you enter the job market more efficiently, but don't waste your time and your dignity this way; it really isn't worth it.
>>35061489Nurses can get pretty awesome rotations of like three weeks on/three weeks off. Fastest motorcycle rider I ever knew was one, he was able to do a lot of road trips and park a rig at a racetrack to just do laps for weeks straight.
>>35061463>Be smart and don't fuck too many of the nursesAre nurses really whores? I hear that all the time, but I'm not too sure.
>>35063470Yes. Sluts. Very sociopathic and slutty. They usually pick that job because it's easy and gives lots of money fast (especially with over-time) for travel and other crap. They usually sit on their phone all day doing nothing, but somehow they have the ego of their favorite TV show doctors. This sort of inflates their self-esteem and promiscuity. In their head they think THEY save lives and the spotlight is always on them. Some sluts also choose that job with the intention of finding rich doctors in the hospital.I'd rather stick my dick in the first passed out HIV positive crackwhore I see behind the local 24/7 Taco Bell than I would in ANY nurse.
I didnt have a career prior to nursing. I didnt start nursing school until 25, finished at 27.Nursing school is just teaching you how to pass state boards. Your first nursing job is really where you 'learn' but at least you're making money.How much is your tuition? Can you apply for scholarships?
>>35060435You're such a delusional, retarded jeet. Canada isn't your country, and you're not welcome in the West. Go back to your shithole country and go live with your fellow shitskins like the subhuman filth that you are.
>>35063598This 100%
>>35063566Tuition in total for my accelerated program should, be around 42kish, I don't know if I qualify for any scholarships.
>>35063598>>35063983C'mon guys, cool it with the racism. I'm OP, I'm not Indian or from Canada, I don't understand the racism you guys have against indians.
>>35064059Try it. I received between 500-1500 usd per semester. Some renewed for 2 terms so it varies.
>>35064117Yeah that's because you haven't coexisted with the turd golems
>>35063470You're in an extremely chaotic and stressful environment for long periods of time. You also lose the ability to bond with "normal" people after seeing a lot of fucked up injuries.
>>35064180There is some correlation in relationships where both people work in healthcare and increased job/relationship satisfaction. Being able to relate to experiences unlike another 'normal ' person job.
>>35060357do it but be wary that there may be a shit ton of uni hours, if you're into hookups then lots of girls and nurses tend to be whores>>feel like I've wasted years of my life pursuing CScorrect.
>>35064117Don't worry man. I'm that Indian guy who posted, age (almost) 33 btw.Always remember: idle mind is a devil's workshop. If u have time to hate on others, do bad things, it's because you have free time. Don't sit free. Keep doing something. It's difficult at first, but if you continue to remain busy, your mind will be steered away from bad things. Life is too big, long and complicated. Anything can go wrong at anytime. Tomorrow, if a big burly bully thug stops you on the street, pushes you around. What are you going to do? Shoot him? Stab him? Your life will be over, or in jail. Ignore, and keep moving on. Don't live with grudges. If you are so intensely superhumanly focused on your goal of making money, being big, then these small things won't bother you. Someone spits on your mother while she's shopping in the supermarket, for example. You can fly into a blinding rage and end your career. Or, be level headed and move on.Every great personality who became big, who rose above the masses, was a superhuman, and they did so because they have superhuman levels of self-control, restraint, and discipline. Take for example our presidents and prime ministers of various countries today. It takes decades to rise to the top, from a small level. Imagine the level of calmness required to take all the criticism and still persist. I for example, am always inspired by the life and times of Modiji.
>>35064319Imagine being an adult man and thinking at this level.
>>35064319keep playing dumb and refusing to leave peacefully, we'll see how that works out for you scum
>>35064128Thanks fren
>>35064483Eat shit racist. Hope you incriminate yourself by assaulting someone.Come here, hit me in the face, I dare you. Hit me real hard. I wear meta glasses specifically so that I can encounter racist dipshits like you.I dare you.
>>35065572Pussy brown snitch. I HAVE assaulted you guys multiple times and you didn't even resist.
>>35065572i don't care what you say now, once we start killing you i know you will be the first to flee because you have no good reason to even be here.
>>35061541>>35061463>>35064319>>35063566Should I live on campus, I think it would be a great way to network and meet women desu. My campus has RA‘s that get to work in the dorms in exchange for free housing.
>>35065645It is EXTREMELY nasty to be looking for 18 year old pussy in college past like, 24. Dorms would help with commuting but then you're often locked into the campus meal plan, which is usually a gouge.
>>35065660Shut up skank, anything over 15 is ripe for fucking.
>>35065645If you're trying to lower costs, no.Get an off-campus apartment near-by.
>>35065663Thanks anon, would you recommend joining a frat or something, I just wanna maximize my college experience. In the previous times I went to college, I regret not networking more and capitalizing on the opportunities I had with women. It's weird to admit this on this Mongolian basket weaving forum.
>>35064336>>35064483>>35065599I don't get it, why are you guys so anti-Indian? I live in the US, Indians are mostly passive and docile, H1B's are bad thing, but I don't blame all Indians. The sandals thing is kinda weird tho.
>>35065820>I don't get itindeed
>>35065827Explain my nigga, it's 4chan, say what you wanna say
>>35065645I'm the 33 yr old guy. Don't stop applying to IT jobs. Why are you so hellbent on nursing? I'm doing the same, applying parallely. If something works out, I'll drop cxions.IT always pay more.>>35065578Oh i'll never resist. I'll record you nicely in my meta glasses. Come hit me if u want to go to jail.
>>35065837And then you wonder why no one respects you. Stupid brown slave.
>>35065837>If something works out, I'll drop cxions.What's a cxion?>IT always pay more. Eh, I live in the picrel part of the US, IT isn't super lucrative, it was b4 ChatGPT, but I digress.
>>35065893My nigga chill with the racist shit, go back to /pol/, there you can complain about problems you can't solve.

>>35064117>>35065820It's hilarious enough that I get banned for hurling racist slurs at the filthy niggers who come to this board looking for advice on how to pick up white girls, but the moderators lounge around when I bully an Indian for being an insufferable shitskin. That's so much fun.>>35064319>>35065572>>35065837You should literally stop posting and either grab a knife and slit your own throat or buy a ticket to India and drop off the radar.

>>35067158Too many people got butthurt about me being openly Indian. Makes me make them even more mad, by talking about my heritage even more, lol. I'm that (almost) 33 yr old anon btw. I only said that to give the nurse OP some context. And I hang around /biz/ mostly. Rarely ever come here, or even /pol/. I get to trigger these racist dipshits along with dropping knowledge bombs ITT for OP and others. So yeah, idc, but i like it.

DEATH TO JEETSTHE JOkE RACETHE INCEL RACE
>>35067224The problem isn't that you're a disgusting brown-skinned pajeet with a low IQ, but that you're immigrating en masse to Western countries while displacing the native populations, bringing with you your repugnant religious beliefs and your parasitic offspring. I don’t care if you stay in your shitty Third World cesspool without bothering anyone, but we both know that’s not how things are. Get the fuck out of Canada before time runs out and we have to resort to murder to wipe out every single one of you and show the rest of the immigrants who want to invade other countries what happens to them when they mess with us.
>>35067440>>35067413>>35067260>>35067405OP here, can I actually get some advice on the question I asked here >>35065645
>>35068250Kill yourself
>>35068250I'm the (almost) 33 yr old corrections officer Indianon.Like I said - do you really want to go that deep into a career like nursing after having completed a master's in CS? Well then living on campus always beats living at home. Go for it. Nursing doesn't have a lot of career growth unless you pivot to hospital admin. In fact, I have heard Canada is best for nursing, American nurses are lowly paid compared to here. Meeting women? That shouldn't be your focus at this age. Please be logical - your career prospects are pretty fucked at this age. Your focus should be on getting to a 100k income, whether it's via your nursing career, or tech. You're around 26-27 yrs old. That's an amazing age. I wish I could fake myself as being younger. The IT job market favors youth sadly.If I were in your place, I'd look for jobs in Silicon Valley or elsewhere. But I understand that a lot of folks can't simply leave their place of birth. I live in Canada where the tech job market is not as ageist as in America.I have worked remotely 6 years ago for a major insurance company in Michigan, developed automation solutions for them. The tech job market is very much alive and kicking over there.Lastly, I'd say - there is no limit to what you can do, except what you restrict yourself to. Your mind is the biggest prison. If you convince yourself that you're a "loser" in the tech world and that you "cant find a job" despite trying "hard", you will indeed be and remain a loser. The world is very big, lots of people, job markets, cultures, languages, etc. women are unimportant.And you're white, I presume. You could go to Europe, job markets in CH, Fr and De are quite favorable to whites. Maybe not for some deep niche tech like embedded sys or d365 power platform (my niche btw), but for business type roles like ba, tech sales, bdr roles, operations, supply chain, etc. whites are preferred for frontline ops roles.
>>35068320What a retarded turdjeet.
>>35068320Take the rope and neck yourself, faggot.
>>35068320Like I said - do you really want to go that deep into a career like nursing after having completed a master's in CS? >My parents said they would fully help me, also my local university cohort starts in the fall of next year (fall 2027), meaning if I sit back and don't finish my prereqs I'll have to wait until 2028, which is not ideal.>Your focus should be on getting to a 100k income, whether it's via your nursing career, or tech. You're around 26-27 yrs old. That's an amazing age.Thanks, I'm currently 24, I'll be 26-27 when I become an RN, if I keep it up at this current rate. In my state starting is around 85K.>Lastly, I'd say - there is no limit to what you can do, except what you restrict yourself to. Your mind is the biggest prison. If you convince yourself that you're a "loser" in the tech world and that you "cant find a job" despite trying "hard", you will indeed be and remain a loser. I agree, Indiananon.>women are unimportant.I don't think women are unimportant, if dating is hard when you're younger, it's not gonna get any easier when you're older. Dating in 2026 is fucked and women do and will cheat, standards are thru the roof but it's much easier when you're young. Getting old without any dating experience is a nightmare. Women don't respect a guy who doesn't have any experience with them, also failing young helps you succeed later. I myself cringe at the number of times a women wanted to date or fuck me, but I declined or miss my opportunity because I'm stupid. I'm glad that I failed because I'll know what to do next time. All I'm saying is that you should be trying to date asap even before you're fit or rich, women don't wait why should you. I won't judge you though I don't know your situation, but as you get older it's harder to date unless your tall and in good shape (ottermode). Carpe diem.>And you're white, I presume.I'm a 6'5 blackanon living in the US, most people who use 4chan are brown.
>>35070263>most people who use 4chan are brown.Thankfully probably not, but you ARE a major reason it sucks nowadays
>>35070263You niggers have no right to be on 4chan. Half of you should be mercilessly slaughtered in a white revolution, while the other half should be sent back to Africa. Pray to God that He will have mercy on you, because we certainly won’t.

Tbh, I don't know why people post about their swe/cs degrees in posts like these. Like, maybe I'm a bit harsh, but it's no longer covid era, and it's closer to what we had in 2000s. So, why do people expect to get jobs straight out of college? I say this because I'm myself a graduate and I have seen that all my peers were so retarded that I wouldn't trust most them with any sort of computer/programming task. No wonder they're all unemployed, because in cs/swe you're either lucky and have connections (but it's a universal advice, not exclusive to the field) or you grind, do well in your uni/college, have a portfolio, know a bunch of stuff outside of your program and that you may have a chance. Also, just having years of experience is also not enough. Just think of people who worked in one company doing pearl/php stuff for more than a decade. What do you think they'll get in current job market in 2026, consider they have worked for some comfy small firm? I think your mistake was to go into the field in the first place
>>35072736They're retarded and just go with the herd>hurr durr I keep applying on LinkedIn with my SWE degree, why no jerbs?!?!Idiots. Literal goyim
>>35060357You will one day work together with Social Workers. Make sure you are kind to them, They do hard work just as you do.
>>35072880Where I'm from it's even worse. But, at least I'm glad that people here are mostly realistic about their path, so they get a random degree and fuck off for good. Like, I genuinely was helping my classmates and stuff and still, pretty much none of them ended up pursuing this as a career. Mind you, none of them have ever programmed before, and even during college they could barely do what they were told to do. After witnessing this, I'm a bit more doubtful when someone says they're applying for jobs. I feel genuinely sad if someone has spent lots of time and effort and is passionate about their craft, even if they're not the best, compared to someone who just graduated, picked the degree because they liked to play vydia as a kid and ended up with a piece of paper and question "where is my job???".
>>35073024I mean I was in a special math and engineering school, and niggas were programming C++ applications and fucking R code for robot arms at age 12, obsessing over it like absolute autists. Their dads were Israeli CEOs and VPs. No shit those types are now working in Silicon Valley. So looking at them I have a pretty clear understanding of what it actually takes to enter the rarefied stratosphere in that domain.
>>35072736>>35073024>>35073048Do you guys have any advice for me or are you guys just babbling about nothing important.
>>35072894Will do anon.
>>35064117You will understand.Jeets are the worst, no one else comes even close. Once you learn of izzat it all makes horrible sense too.>>35064319Literal npc.
>>35074191What exactly are you even hoping to read here dumb nigger?Yes, CS has no jobs, whereas nursing is a more practical option and you will have a job. What else is there to it, Einstein?
>>35074191You niggers are so laughably retarded that you're unable to use your common sense to draw elementary, predictable conclusions about the topics you're asking about. But what can you expect from a bunch of savage, dim-witted monkeys?

Lmao. The fragility of the beta white male is on full display.No wonder white women are biggest race traitors who only settle down with Timmy after riding the carousel of melanin-cocks.
>>35070263>6'5 blackanonWhoa! I'm that (almost) 33yr indianon.Damn that's a gigantic height. You must not be having any problems with women then irl.Can I call you Nigga? Any tips to get women for a 5'6 millenial "unc" like myself ? My family can arrange my marriage to an Indian woman, but I'd like to find a girl on my own merit.Any tips, my Nigga?
>>35083458Yeah, I'll give you advice.>You must not be having any problems with women then irl.Ehhh, I've probably fucked up more opportunities than I've actually succeeded. But looking at my life, I've had at least a dozen or so girls express interest to me in college. I'm talking to two milfs right now tho, so idk. I'm not bragging but BEING TALL DOES HELP.>Can I call you Nigga? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯>Any tips to get women for a 5'6 millenial "unc" like myself?It's gonna be tough, you're an (almost) 33 year old Indian man. It's gonna be tough Indians don't have the best perception in the west. Many online blame you guys for taking their jobs and housing. I don't hate Indians tho most of my experience with them have been overwhelmingly positive. >Any tips, my Nigga?Well you're 5'6 which is above/above average height, but there's a YouTuber Alex Wei, asian guy who made a video about how he hooked up with several white women while being 5'7, so watch him. But the basics, go to the gym, aim for an ottermode physique, and wear lifts, just claim that you're 5'8/5'9. You're really gonna have to max out your stats to have a chance. Then hop on the apps: Tinder, Bumble, Hinge. Get a hobby, so that you can be around women of the same circle. Join an art class. Us black guys have a saying: "ALL women are going". That means under the right circumstances a women WILL have SEX with the right guy regardless of her beliefs or whether she is in a relationship or not. If a women likes you she will make it easy for you to fuck her, don't wait longer than three dates to fuck. Have a limit for how much money you're gonna spend on a woman for a date. I will never spend more than $30 on a first date NEVER. Remember some guy fucked her for free. All I've said is a 1-2 year process, it will cost you comfort, time, and you may NOT MAKE IT IT but you will improve. IT WILL BE HARD, you will get rejected and ghosted and left on read, I've had this happen to me. I WISH YOU THE BEST.
>>35084526That shitskin will never have the chance to date any upstanding woman in his entire life and you know it, but you’re desperately clinging to his hope in an attempt to somehow illustrate to him that all is not completely lost for him. When the reality is that no white woman wants to date a turd golem, let alone have offspring with extremely hideous, dysgenic people like the pajeets.You should stop chasing after our white women and realize that, in the long run, you'll be better off if you stick with people of your own kind. Both white women who date niggers and minorities like you who date people outside of their race should honestly be murdered and mocked online.
>>35085771>You should stop chasing after our white women and realize that, in the long run, you'll be better off if you stick with people of your own kind.OP here, nah, every girl I've dated except one has been white. They're easy, kek.
Nursing means cleaning up old people’s poop, rolling them over so they don’t get bed sores, and sponge baths . It’s horrendous. Please do not become indebted by going to school for this and then you have no way out
>>35087779Do you have a better suggestion, anon?
>>35093329get a normal job and drive a forklift for marginally less rather than go to school so you can empty bedpans and smell death, idiot
>>35084526Thanks for your inputs black anon, I will hop on the dating apps after I've lost 10 more kgs. I was 100 kg in June, lost 10 kgs, currently i weigh 90 kg. Will look much better at 80 kgs. I'm thinking of joining a cooking class (they teach how to make pizza) near me.Also a running club, once I reach 80 kgs.I'll give it a year, if no success, I'll settle for my parents choice.After you're done with nursing, there's much higher pay in Canada than in America.Here's my throwaway email, feel free to shoot me a message if you have any questions: oneplus5.backup.2022.v1@gmail.com
>>35093391I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not anon?
>>35093645OP here, I'll keep in touch, anon, godspeed.
>>35093645Also OP here, please grow out your hair and NEVER cut it, hair is life for men's attractiveness, I don't know a single guy who's good with women who is also bald. Also quitting porn will help, but yeah I'll keep in touch.
