i just wanna be comfy. theres still work in putting all the slop together that i get to do from home

otherwise, im just going to get into real estate and rental properties. theres no point in working for a wage if its not laid back and chill

>Robotics / Mechatronics?
Mechatronics Engineering opens up a lot of opportunities, but unless you get hired by NASA, Boston Dynamics, or Lockheed Martin, you just end as a blue collar-adjacent machine-placer and machine-fixer.
I got a degree in that, and even though I enjoyed the breadth of the degree, most of the job openings I came across out of college were for technician-type jobs, that is to say, people who go to a factory, gotta fix somebody's mess (which in many cases means dealing with both software AND hardware, in some cases stuff that's full of dirt or valves full of oil that you gotta open up, see if they're broken or otherwise failing to do their job, and then provide a remedy, such as suggesting the purchase of a certain item or set of items, or, instead, troubleshoot ladder logic, electrical circuits, or mechanical contraptions).
It's interesting to learn about control theory and that sort of stuff (at least for me), but I don't really enjoy working in a literal factory environment full of loud machine operators and manual workers who have music playing all day long, and who often abuse stuff like tools or machines.
I would really like to work in something related to robotics, but for the most part, most people with a mechatronics engineering/electrical engineering technology degree just end up as PLC/industrial automation techs.
If you're a redneck or Latinx, you might find it comfy, however.

I'd suggest anybody who's into robots to just go for mechanical engineering or electrical engineering. Sooner or later you'll have to decide whether you wanna mess around more with electrons or with mechanisms, so I suggest people to go for what they think they're more comfortable working with.
>>
If you're willing to get a mechanical engineering degree becoming a maintenance engineer in the dredging industry is probably one of the highest paying jobs that I'm aware of, at least by yuropoor standards .
It does come with very long working hours and being abroad a significant amount of the time though.

If you can handle the basic concept, mortuary "science" is a good path. People aren't going to stop dying, it's highly regulated, and mostly run at the local level. There are back of house jobs that require very little direct interaction with the public, though if you do have people skills, being able to also work front of house is a good bonus.
The down sides? You're working with dead bodies. There's no way around that. You have to have the right mindset to be able to handle that. Also most funeral homes (86%) are family run businesses. You will be treated far better than you would in a corporate job but family always comes first. If you and a member of the ownership family are both working towards the same promotion, the family member is going to get it over you. That's just the nature of family businesses. But there's not a whole lot of promotions in a funeral home anyway, though that might be a negative if you have dreams of climbing the corporate ladder instead of perfecting a craft and doing it for most of your life.

I was in it for the joy of programming, as it was about the only thing I could do well since I started messing around with in in childhood. I liked to spend a couple of days on a difficult technical challenge, come up with a neat solution, then implement it and open a PR. this has now been mostly replaced with prompting these slopper models and I just don't find it enjoyable anymore. which is why I resigned on my own and am living on what I was able to save up while employed. thanks to >>109239573 I can live like this for the next 5+ years (depends on how you define "living", as I've become a shut in and only go out like once a month to get the groceries)
If I fell for the family meme then sure, I couldn't afford to do this.
And if I was in it for the money I wouldn't have quit.

my first job ever was working in a funeral home, it was a pretty relaxed job, but dirty and badly paid (normies are somehow convinced it pays very well even though they have no actual way of knowing that, they will claim i'm wrong)

Should I just learn to program anyways? I am in EE but I'm thinking of switching because I don't trust the people here to not fuck shit up and get me killed.

Learn to Code is not dead at all. In order to properly drive the model you need to craft good prompts, and in order to do that you need to know what is possible, what is feasible and what makes most sense given the constraints of your system. You gain that knowledge in part by being able to hand code.
The model cannot infer intent from a bad prompt and the devil is in the details
>>
>>109239859
If you're in EE, you'll have to take at least one programming course, one course on digital logic, and one on computer architecure. I'd suggest you to take a course on Data Structures/Algorithms and one on Software Engineering if possible. Everything else can and should be learned on the fly in a job setting.

I got my CS degree with honors (both bachelors and masters) and now I'm janitor for minimum wage. For a context: I'm from a europoor contry.

I'm not sure about all these degrees especially if there are not a lot of different manufacturing in your country. Most of my friends from university who studied mechanical engineering and electrical engineering ended up with SWE jobs and then they all were replaced by AI and then laid off. Some of them still unemployed and living with their parents, some doing low wage job like cleaning, delivery, working at warehouses...

I had a SWE job too, I had 4 years of experience, but in the beginning of 2026 I was replaced by AI and now I'm janitor...
My life is literally over right now. Honestly it's a nightmare for me. I will probably took my life in foreseeable future...
>>
>>109240691
so you were fired at the beginning of this year and not even half a year later you already gave up on your profession and became a janitor?
you sound retarded.
>>
>>109240950
>you already gave up on your profession and became a janitor
yes, it is.
the situation would be different if I was fired because of my perfomance or because of layoffs or because my company went bankrupt...

But I was literally replaced by AI. How can't I give up in the situation like this? I can't be SWE again because even if I find some job I will be replaced by AI again in next 6 month and then laid off.

SWE profession is completely dead right now.

my local college that offers free adult career classes offers a class to learn swift. everything else is just accounting or basic computer skills or medical assistant stuff like that. I’m thinking of taking it despite the ai crap because I want to try something new and have something to do after work. is it worth the 3 hours a week?

>>109241213
you can learn swift by your own. also swift is some kind of niche language because
- most of ios and android apps now developing with flutter or react native, not with swfit or kotlin
- macOS apps (where swift is top choice) is much more niche than iOS apps

honestly I would suggest you to learn medical assistant stuff. this shit makes much more sense than some courses about coding and programming language

I fell for automation theory meme, though I would design control logic for plants, refurbish old factories with new DCSes, implement advanced process control cascading setups using multivariable controllers to optimise every aspect of plant operation
in the end I got a semi shift work, endless travel around sites, fixing already existing systems dealing with the most mundane and unfulfilling parts of service work, never even programmed a controller, was able to troubleshoot simple ladder logic maybe on 2 occasions in 3 years of work
back at uni they thought us how to obtain state space representation for industrial machinery, what I do is troubleshoot old scripts responsible for displaying tank levels on the screen

Fuck man, what kind of country do you live in where a mechanical engineer can't even get a job at a factory? Andorra? Kosovo? My man, I feel bad for you, because even though I live in a literal middle-income, developing country, I can at least find offers for lots of jobs at factories with my degree, so at least right now I don't feel like my job could be taken away from me any time soon.

In the long run, everyone is fucked, but in the short run, at least, there are jobs for guys who can use a screwdriver and a wrench.

Not true. They also got tourist guides who take you to some random old bloke's mansion, while pretending it's the REAL castle that inspired Bram Stoker's Dracula (or some obscure German vampire story that they'll claim was the inspiration behind Dracula).
Also, they make Dacia cars.

It was always sales, and it will always be.

In the end you sell to make money, the biggest companies and richest people are not the most skillful in arts or the most knowledgeable in sciences, but the best at selling, which is why McDonalds and CocaCola are the most successful food businesses while selling literal slop. Even if you only want a cozy job, the art of selling yourself is mandatory, or they will just hire the retarded jeet that is a better slave than (YOU).
