>born intelligent and did well at school

>Strike 2: Picked a random degree I had no interest in (didn't go into the field after graduating and I have no technical skills)
>Strike 3: Too ugly to have any friends during university (no friends after university, no girlfriend ever, will live and die alone)
>Strike 4: Too spergy and ugly to pass any of the job interviews I had for high paid internships and jobs after graduation (high school never ends and I'll never fit in with normies)

And now I am over 30 and work a boring paper pusher remote job.

That's it. That's life. Nothing will happen now.

Man up. Get up. Regroup. Recalibrate. Pull your bootstraps. Seize the moment. Drink a green shake.

Hey me too, 4.0 at a state college 5 years ago and currently working a job that doesn't even need a high school education to be successful. I guess I can save up and buy oil wells around me but that's about the only thing my degree would help me with outside of a job that no one will hire me for. Pretty comfy being a loner in a woods though.

Literally me except I didnt even go to school and now I make 30k a year when I'm 30 yeard old.
Decided to go full retard and sign up for a soft engineering degree when the field is taking is dying breaths.

It's so over it's not even funny.

>>61001805
If you had gone to a prestigious school, your sperging would be seen as cute, part and parcel of being a learned man. Literally no one likes an awkward wagie.

No such thing fun wageslaving.

Become a troon, get a boobjob and let other men fuck your butthole. I have no idea how this will help you but good luck

This is me but I have 50k LINK so I still have some hope.

You know anon, the first step to doing anything worth doing is to give a shit, so if you can find down in the depths of your crusty old soul just one ounce of a shit to give, you might just do something worth doing yet

I failed at life
>Born intelligent and did well at school
>Went to a prestigious uni for a STEM degree
>70+ hour work weeks, no vacations, no breaks, no weekends
>All of my hobbies lost, 5-6 hours of sleep is the best I can hope for
>40% passrate courses, professors with superiority complexes get off to fucking over students and the lower the pass rates the better the course is considered to be
>All ambitions, aspirations, interests, will to live permanently erased
>Already aged 60 years mentally before even starting work

This is soul crushing. Yes, I can get a high paying job now, but it's just going to be the same shit all over again. What's the point of another decade of misery and suffering just so I can maybe start living a life after, if I am lucky? The only lasting trait I have acquired is suicidal ideations.

I work with people who went to Harvard and I dropped out of highschool personally. I don’t think college is all it’s cracked up to be in the 21st century, which is probably why businesses are finding firing the 6 figure college grads and replacing them with outsourced workers so easy.

>>61001805
How thenl hell did you get the paper pusher job?

>>61001805
>born intelligent and did well at school
>strike 1: went to the crummy university nearby
>strike 2: self confidence so low I went for the most basic but still employable degree (business, I could've gone for CS or engineering looking back now)
>strike 3: was only able to get jobs that don't require a college degree
>strike 4: too ugly that I get filtered at interviews unless it's a crummy job where they are desperate
>strike 5: something about me that the job application algorithm hates and almost always just ignores me
And now I am over 30. Unemployed, no wife, and no kids. I am trying to find success a different way to escape going back into the wagecage.

> born intelligent and did well at school

This is ironically a death sentence for many. This is because many will bully you (even if not up front, they'll talk shit behind your back instead) for being a "nerd", and this will deprive you of essential connections you'll need to get into the prestigious jobs after school. You wanna know how all of those private equity firms popped up? A lot of them came from literal frats at Ivy Leagues, BlackRock is the most famous example of this.

tldr; Street smarts make you money, book smarts don't.

I mean, this is a valid cope post, I don't even have any gripes with it.

This is the standard mediocre-pointless life toolkit. #1 and #2 is absolutely the typical starter guide.

BROTHER, WHAT ARE YOU EXPECTING BY POSTING THIS THREAD ON HERE FOR THE UPTEENTH TIME?

>>61001805
any tips on getting a remote job with no skills
>>
>>61001805
That's exactly me. I pooled all my 5 or so years of post graduation savings and went all on crypto and 200x'd it and am retired now at 35. But I'm still a friendless depressed loser with no life prospects. I could spend the money to 'go places' and 'do things' and 'meet people' but I can't see much of a point to any of it.

>Didn't ever take school seriously

>Got an entry level job and quit it during covid bc crypto monies were good
>Missed out on life changing money twice because held too long or didn't sellled
>Now 30 still entry level, getting past entry level is hard as fuck because gatekeeping
>in debt, at home and no crypto

it's fucking over, I could marry one of these 5's that have their own place but I'd rather kms.

>In the 80th percentile according to standardised testing
>Strike 1 - Went into a degree for a cybersecurity that was supposedly in demand but no one wanted to train juniors. The degree is basically worthless too since only certifications were recognised.
>Strike 2 - Did extra curriculars and an internship and I decided I'd rather graduate than switch to a software engineering degree
>Strike 3 - Graduated during covid when there was a hiring freeze on a lot of graduate jobs, and was competing against previous year graduates who were laid off.
>Strike 4 - Did 6 months a Jeetsoftware company hoping that I would get a foot in the door but burnt out because Jeet culture is horrific. Which is a permanent stain on my resume.
>Strike 5 - Quit my mindnumbing job and moved to the big city and haven't found employment here in 1.5 years, I've just been on neetbux I haven't done anything else.
>Strike 6 - It's going to happen soon. Uni / trade school enrollments will start in the new year or so. I have to decide if I quit being a software developer and what the fuck to do next.

I am good at my job, and can hold a conversation about pretty much every thing. I just don't like talking and get anxious about talking/chatting, even on the Internet.

Fuck dude you're too young to be thinking like that. You're in good shape having a job right now so you can:
1) Fucking workout every day
2) Start a side hustle business
3) Study investing

I am 50. These will be the most productive years of your life, but you have to be OCD relentless about the above 3 things.

I live in Scandinavia, so I can't speak for the US, but there's plenty of big non-tech companies (like big Pharma or other public companies) that hire absolute midwits with non-stem degrees (or bullshit ones that don't involve actually building anything useful) with barely a year or two of bullshit "experience" doing something vaguely tangentially related. And they're getting paid 90k+ USD equivalent. They just talk a lot and push breaking code changes for years until they get promoted to $110k+. They are dumb in most aspects of life. And I'm talking about people that immigrated here, with no connections.

Things that my former coworkers making $100k+ have struggled with in 2024-2025:

>running a .sh script I've made because they did not understand they have to be in the directory to run them. Yes, they can barely grasp the concept of a file system if its not a UI. Using cd was hard for them.

>committing stuff in git that doesn't need to be in the repo (i.e. binaries). Forgetting to pull/rebase before pushing.

>not understanding that not everything can be parallelized. They would branch out from main after I'm already a few days into working on a feature. Instead of waiting an extra day for me to finish so they can pull from the latest version, they just start building and cause a bunch of conflicts.

>not understanding if they have or haven't activated the Python virtual environment, or how it works, or why you would even need them.
I could go on, but I've thought many times that just giving a shit is half the battle. Don't get discouraged, anon.

why are zoomers like this >>61002683 lmao

Redpill me on this. Does it involve ritualistic anal rape, financially speaking?

>Strike 1: went to my nearest university instead of a prestigious one (now people see me as stupid by default)
>Hit 2: Picked the degree i knew i had talent.
>Hit 3: Handsome strong and with a strong manly voice. Loved by my team and friend circle, natural charisma.
>Hit 4: I'm top income earner in my country, i put minimal effort into my job and most my bosses belive i'm some kind of gennius because i'm not only extremely technically competent but a natural leader that can have shit done.
Still no GF, still unhappy.

I am you but further down that career path, so take this as a warning.
>10 years into career
>50+ hour work weeks
>Have 3 weeks PTO but it’s discouraged to take it
>No time for any interests
>Even on weekends can only think about work because of how much it dominates my life
>Health failing
>Gaining weight
>Getting short with my wife all the time
>Still haven’t made it
Change careers now if you can. No amount of money is worth this. I hate my life. I’m so tired all the time. I’m so angry all the time. My life isn’t enjoyable at all ever.
If I could go back in time I’d be a mailman or something simple like that.
