What's the "best" beginner work-from-home job? What I hear about Ruby sounds good. I don't know what I'd do with it and where I'd go to get a good starter job with it, though.
I'm not great with commitments, I can do them, but they tend to stress me out. I had an exception for timed tests in school because of Asperger's Syndrome. Bit better with most of asp now, though.
Zero work experience, no college degrees. Tried and stopped learning to code a couple times, being directionless, but I'm sure I could do it. Good with computers, IT seems like a ded industry.
Not great with social, germaphobic. Currently NEET, but my parents are getting older. I've put this off for too long, I have a bad habit of procrastination.

What about it sounds good to you?
People said that Ruby devs get like a 10% higher pay than some other languages, and it seems easy because it's a high level language.
(lower level being c++, lower still being assembly.)
But that's just what I heard.
>Ruby devs get like a 10% higher pay than some other languages,
10% higher than simple English speakers, maybe
Well, okay I heard wrong I guess?
What do I go into?
If it's a decision I need to make, on what do I base that decision?
I don't know how web dev works.
I don't want to go to an office if I can help it(not much in the area I live and also germaphobia and commute), but it'd be better than cleaning public restrooms.
WHAT THE FUCK THAT PIC IS ME DELETE
You weren't gifted, you just had a mom who was proud you did well in 5th grade math.
Mayby ruby devs get higher pay, but ruby is a dying language with much fewer jobs.
Look up Java and Spring boot, spend 12 months learning that shit, and get a job.
>I don't want to go to an office if I can help it
I'll keep it real with you chief, that's a pipe dream for your first job
that pic literally applies to 90% of the population lmao
But I don't live in silicone valley.
I live somewhere between Sacramento and the border of Washington.
Sounds like I'm out of luck for programming jobs.
Indie gamedev sounds great because I can set my own schedule, but it sounds horrible for actually making reliable income.
I heard from an IRL friend that banks and schools need IT, which sounds a million times more likely to get decent amounts of work, than PC repair, which also would need my mom to drive me to random places, which wouldn't work well.
And I wouldn't very often stumble on people's porn or illegal porn that way. (had a friend who told me that he and his co-workers found that crap all the time, eugh.)
Do I need a certificate of some kind to get a Java job, or just self-taught?
What kind of stuff would I expect at the job interview?
While I could learn to drive, it'd be a heavy investment to get my own car, and I am paranoid, I don't feel like I'd be the most stable driving.
I live in Orlando, Florida. I have a job. I had an internship in Mandan, ND, and Minneapolis, MN. While there aren't jobs literally anywhere, there are jobs in lots of places.
Regarding IT, I'm not totally sure. I'm in software development. Apparently IT likes certificates which might be something you can get without leaving the house.
Regarding software development, certificates aren't a thing. For first jobs, college education is nice but not required. Some more corporate doors might be shut if you lack a degree. The name of the game for non-educated developers is a nice portfolio of stuff you've made. It'll be at least a year or two of working hard towards it to have a portfolio at all interesting.
The job interview can range from pretty fucking easy so long as you aren't super weird, to really really difficult.
I think what you need to do is find some way to help you cope with your anxieties before you get too into this.
I have too much conscience, too much memory. I remember every second. Life is hard when you’re born this way. You need a way to forget, to scape. Mormones don’t understand this because they have no brain to realize how fucked they are. I do.
I am working on that, have antidepressants, working on sleep schedule, and need to work on germaphobia more.
I don't think I would be bad at driving, but it is a little scary. I currently have a problem with keeping focus on one thing continually because of mental issues I can't quite explain, OCD stuff.
Is there not much of an "entry-level" job?
Maybe I should try for a job at a Starbucks/Dunkin/GameStop or something.
Not MCD, from what I've heard that would probably kill my health.
I really want to get a part-time job soon, to supplement things while I work on a software portfolio or certificate like you said.
>People said that Ruby devs get like a 10% higher pay than some other languages,
As someone in the software industry, if this is true, it is only because of how many startups use Ruby. It takes very little time to get a web app off the ground in Rails.
And startups pay a lot of money. That's pretty much it. I don't think Ruby is necessarily a great language to get started if you want to be a programmer. I would start with Java because
A) it's more widely used across the industry
B) learning Java teaches you a lot more about the fundamentals of software engineering than Ruby, because it doesn't have as much "magic"
But programming is probably the top beginner "work from home" job. The other popular jobs I've seen for WFH are sales consultants and account managers/client relations, but these are not entry-level jobs.
I was actually selected for gifted school in elementary and could read fluently at like 3 and a half
*forgot to add*
I want to get a part-time job of some kind real soon, because my dad is getting older.
My mom makes some but not enough, my dad is not in great shape(neither am I).
This right here is why the NEET life is unsustainable.
Ditto. Lofty goals and optimism as kid. Couldn't put it together. Crushing pressure from parents and teachers along the lines of 'you're so smart how come you can't...?'. Anxiety, depression, high functioning autism. Now work part time wagecucker job and gamble on spec stocks. Former alcoholic then replaced it with weed.
yeah and look at us now, posting on Jow Forums at 5 pm on a saturday
Since it's such a mentally taxing field for the first few years while you get your feet wet, I'd say try and find a job at dunkin or something while you get your head as straight as you can. Suggestion: Fedex office is pretty fuckin easy and usually pays $12 an hour.
>Is there not much of an "entry-level" job?
There is, it's just you'd be competing with college grabds
>I really want to get a part-time job soon, to supplement things while I work on a software portfolio or certificate like you said.
That's a good idea. Honestly, I think IT work is for you versus software development. It doesn't pay quite as much, but it's not as mentally taxing.
Programming offers lots of work from home opportunities, but for beginners? Tough sell for most companies I/friends have been with. I'm fairly green and can WFH when I want, but if it happened more than once or twice a month I might get looked at funny - granted I'm in a more corporate envrionment than tech.
I finished uni with top grades and work at a buyside firm. Wrote CFA l1 in Dec and I'm studying for L2 now. Still gotta find time to shitpost
i feel ya man, glad to hear you are writing for chick fil a now
>granted I'm in a more corporate envrionment than tech.
My first real job was at a software shop where every employee works remote. Also, almost every programmer contractor is remote. It's very, very easy to find contract roles if you want to WFH.
These aren't "beginner" like "i have no idea what i'm doing" roles. These are "i am a decent programmer, but new to the profession" roles.
Interesting, must just be the culture difference between the companies . I don't know if I'd enjoy full-time WFH - I find some relief in being able to walk to someone elses office and shoot the shit. Wouldn't be the same over slack.
But man, the idea of working 1 day a week from home would be great.
>I don't know if I'd enjoy full-time WFH
As someone who worked full-time WFH from age 20-24 (during college, then remained with the company after college with a promotion), it is fucking awful. You get so lonely you start to actually lose your shit. When coworkers don't respond to a message or text, there's nothing you can do. You end up working at weird hours because of that kind of thing.
I started a new job with an office in June after 4 years of that shit, and every single day feels like a vacation, because of the crushing and depressing loneliness of WFH.
Though I guess if you had a family to take care of and real reasons you needed to be home, maybe it would be a different story.
learn c++ or kill yourself, nigger
all about creating cashflows passive income, just accumulate alot then use profits to get others to accumulate ur funds
Still live with parents, and will for the foreseeable future, so that's not an issue.
I am not a social butterfly.
I don't have the kind of money to kickstart that kind of thing, nor time to let it build, nor safety in case it goes belly-up.
I don't have a job.
I also don't trust MAD MONEY. Maybe with like 20 different growing businesses that look reliable I'd put some disposable income in, but...
I'm talking "my dad might not be able to work by 6months/1year/2years/3years".
Sounds to me like Java gets used more in business.
I'm 2% milk levels of white, and not a "wigger" either, I don't steal or do drugs or fight. Not "trailer trash" or redneck, I live in a city.
