How many of you are spoiled rich/upper middle class kids from big cities?

that's neither middle or upper class it's solidly upper-middle bro. clear clear differences

there's a distinction between middle/upper and upper-middle to you? k.

Oh, another Physics major.
I fell for the meme degree too.
I was a neet for months until I got a 15/hour job, and I'm still a poorfag.

Semiconductor engineer near Seoul
Chem Eng

Yeah, my dad makes 250k a year which puts him in the top 1% of income earners I think
Career:
> Civil engineer
Major
> Economics/Civil engineering

My father is district commander and work with the government so I can do whatever I want and it doesn't matter
I go to officer school like him so it doesn't matter what I do in school either

>15/hour job,
Doing what? The only work I can get is walk in labor shit. Even Wal-mart won't hire me cause i'm overqualified

Same thing happened to me.
Spent like 3 months applying to good technical jobs, from engineering to data analytics jobs. Nothing, so then I started applying to every low wage job I could find.
Ended up getting hired in some warehouse. It was extremely frustrating, and I'm still depressed. I got lucky that they pay 15, tho.
I was seriously expecting to make minimum wage after realising the huge mistake I made majoring in physics.

It's also an extremely mundane and repetitive job. But I don't care anymore.

not rich, recession of 2008 and housing bubble followed by my parents divorce saw to that.

why dont you go back and study engineering or something? I assume lots of the maths/phyisics credits would carry over and you've obviously got the aptitude for it

I worked at the university food court for 4 months after graduation but they had to let me go cause it was a work study gig. I have a feeling i'm gonna have to work warehouse as well and move up slowly like a high school drop out

My parents are blue collar, and I'm already 15K in debt from my first degree.
The US doesn't give any grants or help, apart from low iinterest loans, to grad or second bachelor students.
So, If I went back I would have to get heavily in debt, and or get a masters which is also pretty expensive.

I'm tired, and have lost any confidence in myself. I don't think I'im capable of doing smart things anymore. I just want to do my meanial repetitive job 'till I die.

The warehouse I work at is pretty small. There is no point in moving up. I'm never making good money.

>family is upper middle class in my shithole homecountry
>decided to move here and major in a 'dirty job' like nursing and be middle class
>middle class life here is better than upper middle class back home

I regret nothing

(btw im male)

I grew up in San Diego in a house by the beach. My parents make about 260,000 a year. I dropped out of college after one semester and am now a tattoo artist. The money is sometimes great and sometimes terrible, but my parents will bail me out if things get too choppy. All in all I've had an extremely fortunate life and I'm very grateful for my parents support.

Would majoring in general chemistry yield the same results (I've been considering switching to that)? I know liberal arts majors are basically a meme and now people keep telling me STEM is too. Some say just get an apprenticeship/trade job but I'm not a big fan of repetitive work or wrecking my body by 40. I'm so hesitant and frustrated. Job/career/major hunting seems like an inescapable rate race.

>general Chemistry
Yeah, same thing. If not worse.
I think you can get a job in a lab, but you are basically an assistant, just preparing samples and what not. The pay is fine tho. But I'm sick of labs, and physics majors don't really get lab trained very well. We don't really handle chemicals or anything like that.

>liberal arts/stem
Yeah. STEM is a huge meme.
But I wouldn't say that trade school is better.
Research the job market in the place where you are going to live out of college.
Thing that never really fail are
> Engineering (Any type really, except environmental or some niche shit.)
Electrical is probably the best. People everywhere need electricity, and EE majors can even end up in the semiconductor industry and what not.

>accounting/business analytics/finance
accounting is a good choice. Finance and business management is more a gamble. But at least where I live, there is plenty of business and finance analyst positions.

But regardless of what you study, DO AN INTERNSHIP. Your degree is next to worthless without some experience. Apply to those shits every semester, prolong graduating until you get one.

Also, anything in the medical realm. Big money in that shit.

>Engineering
How much math is required for this? I'm not necessarily bad at math, but the upper level courses seem intimidating.

yeah I thought about physical therapy but that would extend my education to 3 years of post-grad and a fuck ton of more debt (not the best ROI).

It always sound intimidating. But once you are there, and actually putting effort, it isn't as bad. But to answer your questions, they are math heavy. You usually go up to Calc III and Diff. Eq, and then take more specialized stuff.

>fuck ton of more debt
yeah, I know the feel. I want to masters in Mech.Eng with my Bs in physics, but the debt is worrying me. I will work for a year or two, and same at least 1/4 of the cost of attendance. Then, hopefully scholarships and aid covers any 1/4, and the rest in debt.

What is your major currently?
I don't know much about the medical fields, but there is probably something that you can leverage.

you have to be lying. how the fuck is warehouse your only option after majoring in physics? you could pretty much do any job that requires logical thinking

Health Science with a pre-professional emphasis. I was looking for a BA in something I would enjoy with reasonable pay/benefits in case professional school didn't work out.

> you could pretty much do any job that requires logical thinking

I used to be confident that I could. But being able to do the job is not the same as getting the job.

I don't know whether it's competition, or connections, or I don't know.

But it's really depressing. I wasted my college years studying. I didn't go to a single party. I just worked my ass off. Put more than 40+ hours a week. some weekends were spent ONLY studying. 16+ hours for exams. All for nothing.

you could turn into a math teacher/ programmer like so many other physics grads

What year are you on? apply for a double major quick. Also, it doesn't have to be related.

>math teacher
No. first, I would have to get a teaching license which is more education, and i woudl rather do anything else in the world than being a teacher in a public school in the USA. I'd rather work minimum wage than have to face kids for the rest of my life.

>programming
I tried. I applied to jobs in programming, and I know a little programming. Mostly scientific programming. But I have no professional experience programming, and there isn't any programming jobs where I live.

I would have to move to california or somewhere with more tech jobs, but I'm out of money, and my parents don't have the money to help me.

I'm in the same position and i'm too overqualified jobs that aren't manual labor since they don't need a resume or a background check. Physics is a scam

Yeah. If I lose my current $15/hour job, I'm going to ask my cousin to let me work in construction with him.

I did live in a big city (Mumbai) but for the most part of my childhood I was lower middle class until my dad career had an improvement and we became middle class

Currently in med school

Why double major though? The pre-professional school I'm seeking doesn't even require a particular major as long as you complete the prerequisite classes. Some people major in fucking psych. I see no reason to stick with a pre-professional major, 1. if it doesn't even require it, 2. considering how selective some of the schools are I'm not even sure if I can get in, and 3. Even if I do get in that's three more years of debt.

I'm also a transfer student, just completed junior year 1st semester this past spring.

So, you are a senior?
Well, I don't think you can double major then.
You can try, and apply. Talk to an advisor.

But you may have to just go with your current plan. I don't know.

no I'm going into the 2nd semester of my junior year. I have 1 and a half more years until completion.

95% of Finns on Jow Forums are bottom class NEET’s (including me)

Who else would unironically spend their time on this god awful site?

I'm middle class in Juárez.
Thinking of trying to get a job as a teacher assistant for the time being.
I'm majoring in Graphic Design and Animation, I'm taking a sabbatical though because I'm fucking depressed.

sucks to be you

i was a physics/finance double major. im working in my state's "wall street" and making six figures even though I'm in my 20s

What do you do exactly? Give me a job title and a description

im a financial analyst and i...well...analyze financial data

Sounds comfy. Do you have that 9/5 work shift?

Also pardon my ignorance, I never studied finance much outside of a basic bussiness class in highschool and some marketing courses in my career, but how do you feel about your work environment? Do you feel your state is growing?

sounds stressful and exhausting

>sucks to be you
I agree.
Smart choice to double in Finance. Also, how did you get into wall street. I've heard that even with degrees you need connections.

I applied to financial analyst jobs too. But most of them required degrees in finance, or busines administration. They also required experience with quickbooks and a lot of other shit that I didn't know about. Sucks to be me.

What school did you go to? I heard wall street only hires from Ivys.
