Honestly, don't worry
You are far better off than people that spent $80,000 getting degrees and are STILL UNEMPLOYED

Teach me your ways, user. Please
How do I start?

Look at the market price for UI/UX roles, bitch.

stop larping on an anonymous chinese cartoon imageboard

it was pretty simple
>learn Node.JS and React, make a few meme demo projects, put them on an URL for showing to clients, keep the code in a github so they can analyze it and see you can do it
>join reddit, linkedin, fagbook, insta, bitcointalk,upwork, freelancer
>message anyone and everyone who needs a react / node dev
>show off your skills
>negotiate for the biggest price you can, this is important, otherwise u wont make it

I even had clients from fucking Jow Forums, the trick is to message fags who have an idea about a project, validate their idea (tell em it's genius etc) and ask em for money to build it

My high score is 10k euros in November for a 1 month bitcoin based remote job board project

Go get some books on negotiation (trumps is the best), asking for high prices gives the appearance that ur a big expert and offer big value

good luck

I believe you, autists are plenty but talented / artistic people are few. Congrats

>I took a $20/hr job to stay in the area to take some classes and stay close to my friends, who then soon after quit their jobs and moved away. Job hunting now to work a position that actually challenges me and pays more but it seems a bit rough to apply for engineering jobs after 1.5 years of regulatory work.

Feel neutral bros.

Feels bad, not enough money for deal with “Life”.

Apply for college tonight, just suck it up and do it faggot

I've never had a job in my life, dropped out of HS to pursue freelancing on oDesk (now Upwork).

My college graduate friends come to me to loan money now.

I will never get a job in my life. You should not either, you'll get raped. Your boss will make 1000x off your ass.

Follow my tips and you should be making good money soon. Be social and proactive, freelance jobs are plenty and pay well

just fuck grandma bro

Ultimate dream

How did you jump the hurdle of getting your first freelance client?

>23 years old
>degree in data analysis

Just send a nigger to my doorstep to kill me.

The freelance platform that's now Upwork. I would only stay there to get a few good feedback for showing to clients outside Upwork though, it's a shitty place.

Social media and domain specific communities (bitcointalk, Jow Forumsmachinelearning etc.) are the best places to get jobs at.

legit how do you cunts earn this much money. Is it an American thing?

I've been working a few years now, at age 21 I get 30 an hour AUD + holiday pay. Not an amazing wage but more than anybody I know my age.

I come on Jow Forums and its either people with masters degrees who are unemployed, or people who dropped out of high school claiming to earn double my salary. There seems to be no middle ground.

Good on ya user . If you can somewhat enjoy it , it's not wage slaving

>I would only stay there to get a few good feedback for showing to clients outside Upwork though, it's a shitty place.

been thinking about doing some stuff on there. whats shitty about it?

they charge 20% and the clients are worthless (broke wannapreneurs, college kids, poor indians trying to start a biz to come out of poverty)
I am an Eastern European freelancer, I earn close to 100k a year, for me it was taking the risk of losing education and building a skill in demand (webdev) that saved me

You mentioned node.js and react, assuming one has no experience in coding would that be sufficient for beginners to understand and find employment opportunities for, forcthe forseeable future. I work helpdesk and want to end my life

>66k a year with 3% yearly raises

Feels pretty good man, I'm quite happy with this amount. I don't live above my means so I can easily save money on that salary

And by the way , I made over 100k last year which I spent about 15k on crypto and about 13k on mining computers I built . I finally thought i smartened up and was saving some money , but we all know how that went for everyone . My miners are barely covering power costs , if they even are , and my crypto is down 66%

broke boi

>professional white collar degree
>3% yearly raises (1% after inflation)
>is ok with this

man you are an idiot

Stability can be a good thing

Apply to be an analyst or consultant at a big4 . You get compensated well for being cucked in your prime years

Uhhh fuck no... that’s literally inflation. You’ll be 40 and still making 66k a year. You’re okay with that???

you should be saving 50K minimum. fuck all that lifestyle creep bullshit, freedom is worth way more than having some gay brodozer to drive around in getting 12mpg.

there's no way they're paying a 23 year old 80k or whatever

cost of living in aus is much higher than canada too

Honestly....it was pure luck. I was too stubborn to do anything else but draw cartoons. Also spend alot of time model drawing....Learned the programs on my own and then I got a internship and made my way in. Most of the guys I came up with went thru to Feature Animation but I like TV too much. Disposable entertainment keeps me from getting to bored with work.

Those guys are making about 160k a year.

>108k
teachers earn this much? how long have you been teaching and what classes?

How the fuck does a mech engineer earn only 55k in this country

Cunts managing bottle shops earn that

I make MAYBE 20k, and I eat my boogers daily, AND I am invested in crypto. Fite me fageits.

Should feel good, but actually feels bad.... I do help my family out a lot though financially so that is nice, but I am literally procrastinating myself into a JUST WHY, probably could be 7 years out from retirement if I managed my money into better investments over the past few years, but I am too much of a scardy cat bitch to actually commit any of my $$$ and I even lie and say I will only risk a few thousand on crypto and stock to see how it goes but I always use work as an excuse to not do it.

Hopefully by 44 he will have taken on a higher roll with the company and will be making even more than that to keep up with inflation. Stability is a good thing.

drop some savings into crypto now, the prices dropped to quite bearable levels now

Tell you gradnma that you will by March 2019 have a web dev job.

Now go and watch every single video on how to become a web dev and if you are brainlet, you should have a sweet office job in less than 7 months. However, there is one cruicial rule:

1.) STUDY AND WORK FOR AT LEAST 10 HOURS PER DAY

good luck user, you can do it
