What does Jow Forums do for a living? Choosing a major for college soon and I want to know some Jow Forums professions...

I work in a warehouse and coach soccer.
Pull in about 35k a year so I Can't complain too much. Cost of living isn't cheap in music city, but I'm trying to go back to school this summer for electrical engineering. Got halfway through a history degree and dropped out 7 yrs ago. Worried about being motivated in school when I do give back

I'm an electrician gone project leader, started working when I was 19 and I've always earned more than most of my friends with bachelor degrees. Don't do it for the money and be real with yourself if you want to go to college, there's no study loans where I'm from but I understand they're quite shitty so you need to really want it and have the skills to succeed in college.

That being said I'm thinking about studying electromechanics and getting into robotica, anyone in the field here?

Ok thanks

I work in a UPS warehouse throwing boxes around and lifting about 1000 packages a day ranging from 1 to 175 pounds. It's tough work and takes a while to get used to it, but the pay is decent and we have full benefits with the union. I sometimes do curls with random packages when nobody is looking.

Dude, OP is in high school. Give him a fucking break. Stop being an asshole.

>tfw bout to graduate and want to audit
>No internship exp
Am I fucked

Surgery isn't a specialty
Maybe if he had mentioned a specific type but he didn't
You aren't actually in med school are you?

Rekt

General surgery is a specialty. Granted most people sub-specialize, but surgery can most definitely be seen as a specialty.

Work at FedEx loading boxes into containers. It's like playing a shitty version of Tetris that is bad for your joints and it's probably a gains goblin. Also in the National Guard and going to school for engineering.

Ayy what up you brown shirted dick licker? Sounds like we both do the exact same shit. Didn't realize you guys had unions there, they don't even want people talking about them here. They give us cheap health insurance and decent tuition reimbursement though and the pay/hours aren't too horrible for me.

Surgeons are loaded and fuck nurses/bitches all the time but have literally no private life, family life, or really anything outside their careers. It's a lonely and miserable existence

Major in whatever your most passionate or interested in that is employable.

Really? That’s kinda sad. My uncle is a surgeon and made millions a year at one point but I never knew what his family life was like.

>software engineer

Here's some tips for college:

do something you're good at, enjoy, and make decent money. do not turn your hobby into a job because you'll eventually start hating your hobby. try and get a fucking STEM degree. it will be harder than non-STEM but the payoff is there. all the friends I know who went non-STEM and have graduated have never gotten a degree in there field they are fucking baristas or other shit because the non-STEM market is flooded right now and you need to be top-tier. also try and have fun but don't fucking blow away your freshman year and get F's and flunk out like some retards I have seen.

Future fireman here, any advice for getting through my academies? About to start EMT academy this year

Non rate in the USCG, Im stationed in FL right now and its quite nice and comfy. After work I just lift and go to the beach. After a while I'll start boarding other boats and doing drug interdiction.
Its always warm so I never have my shirt on when im off duty so I can optimize the amount of grills that admire my aesthetics.

Go to a university. Work part-time for Uber. Fuckin sucks, but I need the cash.

Gen Surg is a specialty. We just call it surgery.

Most likely, yes. RIP your career.

Omg you are such a pog

Bro I ship out In August for cape may, signed a contract to be an ET. Any advice for boot?

Software engineering.
Don't waste your time wanting to be a surgeon, it will be automated at some point within the century.

>haven't been to school in 6 years
I'm gonna have shitty jobs for the rest of my life

Software/hardware prototyping for a tech company.
Good money, good benefits, easy to find a job.I can work from home anytime I please. The only real downside is my commute, but I don't mind napping on the bus, or listening to a book.

I'm a nurse. If you work in surgery it merely sucks. If you work at bedside you will pray for death every day.

In graduate school to be a nurse practitioner so i can continue to be the doctors bitch but at least I get paid more.

Are goose T levels achievable natty?

How's the PT? I'm not sure what to prepare for outside of the push-ups, sit-ups, and the 1.5 mile run

>Can you still go to college?
I don't know how to answer that. I guess yeah, but I've forgotten everything I've learned in high school.
I've thought about it, and I have 5 years of delivery experience, but it's a lonely job and I got an indoor job because I can't stand Vegas heat.

Factory slave. Decent pay and it's not IT.

Starting as a correctional officer in a few months. Decent pay considering I’m a high school dropout.

Get into IT man. I have so much energy for training. It's awesome. Learn Java or android/ios dev, get some skills for 5-10 years, then make fucking bank as a consultant. Doing that now. I make $90/hr on the low end of my gigs.

This is the real answer.

how much do they reimburse at fedex. the package handlers at ups near me get $5250 a year

Literally considering the same thing OP, no fucking clue what I'd be willing to major in though. I just wanna be a cardiac surgeon.

Unless you're a workaholic, anything in health care is fucking torture.

State licensed home inspector

I'm still doubting between medical psychologist, a PhD or becoming a pastry chef

I thought that was pretty clear

Architecture, just now finishing my master’s degree

I'm a hotel general manager
Going back to school to become a nurse at 26
Is it too late for me?

I'm 37 and majorly changed careers at 36

ive met a woman who went into nursing at 60 and became a nurse at 65, she was a grade school teacher before

Most orthopedic surgeons are fit. Most gynecologists too. Most gastric/intestinal surgeons look like shit.

Yo OP don't go bio major they all are financial exhausted and end up in dead end jobs. Being a surgeon and doctor is super difficult work and a bad value. Major in Finance and account and then go to law school these are professions that can be leverage to become hundred millionaire. DONT FUCK UP COLLEGE it will ruin ur life for sure.

I work in finance as an options trader. Shit is stressful as fuck but hours are reasonable and it can pay bank down the road.

If I could do it all again, I'd probably do a mathematics/philosophy double major. You can basically get into any high-paying white collar job if you do well with that combo at a good school. Plus, it will genuinely teach you how to think, not what to think.

I think it's typically $3000/year, but my hub does $5000. I think I spend about $25 a month for health insurance, dental, and vision coverage.

I'm a junior in CS right now. I kind of regret it. My interest has waned severely.
I should have done physics with astro spec, or something similar.
My intention is to do space research, although a CS bachelor doesn't really do much for that. I'll probably try to go under the guise as a data scientist in the future.

I'm in finance and accounting.
shit fucking sucks why did I watch the wolf of wall street

No way. There's quite a few mature students in nursing. Most of them more mature than you.

I just want the six figures, and being in an operating room for 8 hours doesn't sound unbearable. If I ever get tired of the money, at least I'll know I helped save someone's life.

Gonna need a citation for every outrageous claim you made famalam.

Kind of this. My experience is most orthopedic surgeons are fit, or at least go to the gym, and are often bros. General surgeons, it's hit-and-miss. It's probably about 40% of residents at my program who I routinely see at the gym, and only a couple attendings (though others may be going to classier establishments than the student rec center).

Is python a good start?

Are you currently in the top 5% of your classes overall? otherwise dont bother you will do a bio degree and then flunk med school applications and be stuck with a shity ass bio degree. Med school is competitive and you need to be ivy league material to be a surgeon

I‘m a chemist. I‘ll finish my degree in 2 months. Has been one hell of a ride to get to this point.

I really fucking understand chemistry.
Sometimes I feel great having that knowledge and thinking about all the things no normal person could understand.

But then I realize it‘s all knowledge.
It‘s all so far away from reality.

I‘m unsure what to do with all this.
I‘ll have to choose a direction in which I‘ll use this knowledge very soon.

Any ideas? I‘d really appreciate.

yes and no, python is easy to pick up. But to be a coder who can work for money you need to learn not the language but actually how to code as in structuring you programming and properly designing systems. Its the difference between an developer and a software engineer. Anyone can write spagetti code but making a well structured programme is a lot harder. So id learn C+ and python at the same time maybe.

Literally this. And even if he is, 50% chance that that's how it'll turn out.

>bio degree is the only available major for someone aspiring to be in medical school

LOL

>and you need to be ivy league material to be a surgeon

LOOL

how can you do a degree in chem and not have any ideas what to do with it? did you go to some low league community college where they let tards do dumbed down courses.

>and you need to be ivy league material to be a surgeon
if you think that you can do a doctorate and get into a field that pays minimum 200k+ being a brainlet then good luck to you, i wish you well with your delusion.

>8 hours

Lmao. Surgery residents work like 90-100 hours per week for 5 years, then do it for a few more years as fellows. Attendings work less, but most still do 60-70 hours per week. You can get away with less in a private practice, but most surgeons don't want partners that are lazy.

Being a surgeon is fucking awful, unless you truly live to work. They spend little time with their families or on leisure activities. Surgery residents are either fat or skeletons, depending on how they deal with stress. It's not "lol 8 hours in the OR". Surgery residents work like 14 hour days, 6 days per week. Maybe 20% (if they're lucky) is OR time.

>t. Resident that did 4 weeks of CT surgery in med school

Anthropologist here. I would suggest not majoring in anthropology.

I would see what kind of jobs are needed where you actually live (or want to live) and tailor your degree that way.

This is really what Jow Forums offers, huh

It’s not hard to make 200k or more, user. It’s just about applying yourself.

Actually I wanted to go toxicologist route and analize natural venoms. For example venomous snakes and insects.
I was keeping cobras at the time and I want to know how such a small amount of „x“ can have such an impact on a living organism.

And if it can be exploited to create something beautiful.
This was what started it all 3 years ago.

Really thanks for making me write that out again. Has been some time since I last thought about it.

I‘m not sure it thats really something one can earn money with. It‘s probably not.
That‘s a problem since I like steak.

Med is competitive and high reward if you manage to get through 8 years of school. Average 350 to 400 k salary.

Engineering is not as competitive so the pay isn't as high but you can make livable wage and school only takes 4 years. 120 to 180k average salary.

Go into med if ur a try hard with 4.0 GPA,
Go into engineering if you're an average joe with a 3.0 GPA.

Dude, get your fucking shit together.
