As a mechanic the pay is decent but I have zero passion for this backbreaking work and I kinda want to go to college for some sort of engineering or biology degree, but most of my friends who went to school still work in retail, and only one works in something vaguely related to his field and even then he's overqualified for his position.
we're in our late 20's so it might be too late at this point for me to start at a lower-wage position in a new career

Mainly things related to radiation and imaging. For radiation therapy it's things like dose calculation, since it's not as simple as blanket someone in radiation, but trying to isolate the necessary tissue as best as possible in order to minimize total dose to reduce side effects and not kill the patient. Also can be involved in nuclear medicine.

Imaging side of things includes MRI, CT, x-ray, ultrasound. This is mainly about testing, QA and such. I was shortly involved with this stuff in university.

Dosimetry and radiation protection is also a big one.

I don't know how it is in the US, but a master's here in medical physics is kind of useless because you're required by law to have a doctorate (or licentiate) degree to be a certified hospital physicist which is the most common career option for a medical physicist.

The job marked in Norway is pretty good. We need more people in all job fields, especially nurses.

I read an article about a bus company in Bergen that need 150 new drivers. They are so desperate that they will pay driver licence for those who want to be bus drivers. They want especially females to take contact: here is their YouTube campain

Many Americans don't complain not because they like it, but because its all they know. Once you're aware of the state of this place, it eats at you slowly.
I think the trade is worth it. and I could still afford an A/C machine for the summers they say are so terrible.

I was working in trades for just shy under 10 years and recently quit. I have zero passion for this shit too and now that I quit I’m seriously questioning the same thing as you. All the people I know who are far more educated than me make far less. I’m at a point where I would rather have a lower wage with less stress than high wage and constant extreme stress. It feels like a blessing to not be in trades after so long being in this shitshow.

they are eastern europeans but not slavs. their languages are not slavic. estonian is a uralic language just like finnish. lithuanian and latvian belong to the baltic group which is not slavic.

all slavic languages are much closer to each other than to baltic languages.

My brothers. Also in the trades and have thought a lot about quitting and studying instead but I don't know what I would even study that wouldn't just end with me in debt and a meme-degree. Stem obviously but Im probably too big of a dumbass anyways for stem and since I live in a country where the wages aren't drastically varied then I don't know if I should even bother. I guess maybe just for a easier job

I can relate. I feel like it’s good to learn a meme degree that you’re passionate about if you have the money. It’s good for the spirit, but probably a bad decision monetary wise. I just wanna be out of this shit, but trades are some of the only ways to get quick money in my country unfortunately.

Yes. Yes it is. Stick with your STEM degree and don't end up like me.

Genuinely a nightmare time to be a male in the workforce right now. I think this is mainly being pushed by HR departments (which are mainly staffed by women) preferring to hire other women because men are scary.

I am overpaid and only do hard work maybe like 12 hours a week. The rest is just sitting and consulting. I am also going to get promoted to $38 an hour soon and thats not even counting the benefits and bonuses. Feels good being a heavy robotics tradie.

>>224489238
U.S. pay with a cheap living situation and work you can walk to is actually crazy. People at my company make like 70-100k/y and half don't save anything because they have to piss so much away on things. Plus taxes. I've been walking to work for 4 years and I have almost 200k in savings and assets just from that.
>>
>>224492945
Being a tech tradie is nuts. We had a commissioner just move to a different company (basically doing data center eq install now) and he's going to be making over $100/h with a hefty per diem. Often less viable if you're not willing to travel and periodically work silly hours, though.

I like traveling for work and the per diem bit. They always put us in decent hotels. We get $150 on top of time and a half when we are deployed to a different geo. I basically just maintain and advise operation of heavy duty industrial robots, focusing on their sensors. I'm getting a $3 promo to $38 after I hit 9 months of work and at 12 months they want me as a deployment site supervisor which comes out to like $65 an hour. Legit better off than everyone else my age I know except for one who's runs to auto shops and another who's a cringe e-girl instagram influencer but I think I make more than her now with my bonuses.

Through a trade show I met one of the only guys in Mexico who can operate a EUV lithography system. They literally just fly him out to random plants for him to just work a few shifts and train people. Dudes making like a half a million a year in fucking Mexico where homes are like $50k.

In which industry? HR roasties? Don't worry they are not hired to the left and right, in fact they are laid off quite often. You got to have some prior experience before applying and you got to compete against thousands of other roasties.

>>224489238
85k/y is insane especially with low taxes in the US. you go with about 60k net, which you can save and invest to your liking. Just live smart and dont spend much on stupid shit and you can retire in your 50ies, which is impossible in socialist germany for example. i work in hospitality and i get 43k/y net, which is very good here for something with no degree, but i work at nights and weekends always and have no social life.

In August of 2026, 90% of all new jobs went to women.

I once had a guest lecturer in university who used to be one of the only people in the world who fully understood a certain type of cutting edge system because he helped invent it. The guy said he could pretty much set his own pay for a couple of years until there were more experts familiar with the system, because even getting his services at 1000/hr was still more cost effective than trying to have a bunch of other people figure it out without him.

Many such cases. Can you stupid online losers stop flooding to STEM. You’re one of the many reasons why this field is flooded with fucking jeets, Araps and other thirdie sorts up the wazoo when you can’t stop mentioning it. Making it easy for the corpos to justify outsourcing to them by the numbers like they’ve been doing
