I'm a retarded 29 year old fuck-up with zero skills.
Is trucking a good gig? I guess the pay is decent for minimal training, because I feel it's too late for me in life to try a 4 year or even 2 year program for something else.
Also being a nomad sounds fun but then again I'm retarded so I could be wrong.

Sure.
But you should be aware that trucking is bad for your health, and the entry fee if you do it legally is a couple thou (even if you take out a loan to get a CDL you can easily repay it, most trucking companies will either pay for your cdl outright or reimburse you)
The bad for your health thing is why im not a trucker.

>retarded 29 year old fuck-up with zero skills.
can you even drive a car?
>>
leave trucking to the jeets and white trash. if you are not one of those then find a more distinguished line of work
>>
>>62272814
If don't mind sitting in a truck most of the day, you could just get certified to carry radioactive loads or something niche like that so you can get paid well
>>
>>62272814

You'll likely have to start in an over the road position for a large carrier unless you put yourself through driving school. The goal would be to ultimately gain some experience and then go to a local gig so that you can sleep in your own bed every night or at the very least a specialized over the road job that pays better than the dime a dozen driver job out there hauling regular loads.
>>
>>62272814
we've got immigrants doing almost all of the driving for a fraction of what an american needs to survive.

trucking used to be a good gig if you owned your own company. Now not even that is worth doing.
>>
>>62272814
Brother I am a retard and didn’t finish college until I was 28 and I’m a fuckin CPA now. You can do whatever you set your mind to. Just have to be prepared to study. Us retards have to work harder than smart fags but at the end of the day work ethic is way more important than iq.

>>62272814
i’m a retard and i drive a cement mixer truck. it’s ok.as much overtime as you want, get out of the truck often, buy SOXL on my phone and listen to music all day. dealing with contractors is a pain. when i want i can go to the oilfield and drive their trucks but i’m too lazy to bother

overall comfy

Honestly, the blackpill is these jobs are for losers, just like most blue collar jobs.
>>
>>62273156
yeah. drugs and alcohol are an issue. but if your reliable and clean you’ll make money
>>
>>62273229
High tier people simply don’t go into those jobs but I know what you mean
>>
>>62273233
if you’re a retard with limited connections what choice do you have. get in where you fit in and make the best of an unlucky roll of the genetic dice


plenty of men live good lives just by working saving and investing. just because you’re a tard doesn’t mean u gotta be a fuck up

that was true for boomers, now being smart is a necessary condition to earn good money

when i was a trucker for two months, i got an average of one hour a sleep per night. as my trainer was a jerk who made me drive at night while he slept in the back.
>>
/o/ used to have a truckerfag general years ago, but it disappeared when the board became an empty ghost town.

Generally what I remember that it's generally better for your physical and mental health to drive local jobs (pepsico deliveries to shops and restaurants).
>>
>>62273631
u drive a cement truck and you’re home every night. that’s more retard friendly. sometime home middle afternoon if you start really early.

couldn’t do long haul trucking only worth it if you own/operate but otherwise no thanks
>>
>>62273672
I heard the new computers required in long haul trucking annoys the fuck out of truckers
>>
>>62272814
>I'm a fuck up and super OLD
>literally 29
>Should I do something that's really hard and pays shit for years and is basically slave labor for the amount of hours worked?
>2 year program is too long for me now
Nigger, you're legit retarded. 2 years is nothing, you'll be 31/32 and complete a program in something that's probably way better than trucking? What? Trucking ages the fuck out of you and shits on your health, but go ahead
>>
>>62272814
I had the same thoughts as you but I was rejected when I applied for the training so now I'm just doing minimum wage manual labor instead. Apparently you can be too retarded to drive a truck
>>
>>62272890
A family member of mine did this in his 60s and it seemed to work out for him. He uses an electric frying pan to make his own food to avoid some of the health pitfalls. OP also still has time to do a 4 year program if they really cared and dedicated to it.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

I'm 26 years old, Brazilian-American, have a law degree, self-taught programmer. I moved to NYC from Brazil a year ago, and picked up the first job I found. Brutal manual labor in construction. I take home 6k a month after tax, have already set up my own LLC and am getting side jobs.

Goal is to be bringing in 10-15k/mo on my own company by next year.

Is this a good plan?

The owner of the company I work at also started on his own with zero contacts and takes out after tax 16k/mo + pays all his bils with companys card + spends 40k/mo in manpower on his personal projects. So realistically he could be pulling 35-45k USD per month profit from his company if he wanted.

Is this a good plan? I am not American, and my top salary as a programmer in Brazil was 3k USD - this money is significant to me. Even living in Manhattan would be a level of wealth far beyond what I've ever had.

I'm White, blond with blue eyes btw if that matters,

Following Epstein's advice, whatever you do, you must do something that is the most abstract possible, and the most disconnected from the real world.
I guess the more disconnected from the real world there is, the more money.
>>
>>62277357
I suggest you make your own thread. You'll get better advice than hiding in this one.
