Am I stupid as fuck or is military the last resort for working class that don't want to/can't program fucking computers? Why aren't there any other real avenues for high energy people coming out of high school? Pic related is me after using bodybuilding to cope with the stress of sheer lack of options >Inb4 gigganigga
What are your thoughts on job market/how the fuck did you get a decent gig outside STEM/military?
you can get good paying jobs, depends on the location and a lot of other things. Should've built up your resume by seeking out faculty and other shit, show initiative

College is a fucking scam, dude.

I agree with your points, but i wouldn't say you have worked out before

The military is for those who want to be the best. Who thrive on the dangerous and glorious.
The military also makes you far more employable, and can pay you to learn a trade or do a degree.
Pay £50'000 to get a degree in Digital Music and Sound Arts like me user It'll be worth it, trust me hahah :(

It really is connections, but military will give you some perks and directions (and hopefully connections). Ultimately there are so many directions out there that it is kind of hard to decide what you want to do for 8 hours a day for the rest of your life. Job market is shaky, nepotism is at an all time high. Be likable and hardworking. Talk to advisers on where to go.

Depends on how you use the military. If you just fuck around for a few years and don't get any good skills, then it's a waste. If you use the military to pay for school, get skills that transfer over to the real world, and make connections, then it's worth it. All depends on how you go about it.
ok honestly I work for a Class 1 railroad in the US and let me tell you, we will give you $25,000 signing bonus to be a diesel electrician or 15,000 to be a locomotive engineer. We literally cannot find people to do these jobs we are literally dumping money into people's bank accounts trying to hire people.
Also we give you 10,000 a semester in education assistance and we are one of the last companies in America to offer a full pension in 30 years.
Pretty fit lifestyle as well and you arent a
~PROFESSIONAL BULLET CATCHER~

The military is for maladjusted, suicidal, insecure, directionless tools.
Literally too much of a brainlet for computer science so you dropped out to join the military. All this cope and bad life decisions in one post. Have fun fighting the 1%'s battles soyboi

Military is pretty stupid if you dont know what you want to get out of it. But if you go with a set goal in mind(rise high in the ranks, serve enough time for Montgomery bill, learn a skill like engineering while being paid) Trade labor is not a bad idea. Try being an electricians apprentice for a few months, physical hands on work that also stimulates your brain. Be friendly to most people cause anybody could be the one that gets you a job or a raise or a promotion. Or deal with the fact that classes in college will suck but social life and post grad life improvements will be worth it.

WTF is a diesel electrician and which railroad? I have been debating closing down my businesses and moving out west, away from the city for a simpler life. Diesels and electrical are two of my specialties.
Jordan Cruz
Military is pretty dumb unless it's national gaurd. We have no business being in most of he countries where troops are stationed.
Join an actual police department. I promise you'll be better off. Apply in cities where diversity hiring is likely to take place and you'll have a guaranteed "in".

Construction is a good job if you can get in. as long as you don't get into a union, you'll be doing plenty of work.
Massive gains, too. HAd a stick mate go into building houses when he was 20. He's 23 now and put on 20 pounds of muscle.

Sales. Sell building materials. Sell interlock. Sell heavy machinery. Sell software. Don't sell cars, that game's done and everybody has raced to the bottom so salespeople make shit money doing that now.
Start your own business. A high energy, functionally intelligent person can turn a nice enough profit from a small business and earn a decent living. Don't aim to make a fucking tech startup or something, make something small. Aim for something people don't really want to do, and not food unless you really, really get food.
Grayson Bailey
I am 21, finishing first degree in software development and found a pretty good job. Now planning to go to another state to study IT management to have knowledge outside of cucky programming all day. Man I've been failing math in the high school before the college. If I made it so can you, it's not a rocket science. I'm not talking about studying fucking AI or virtual reality. If you absolve basic courses, you will still find a job very easily. Job market is targeted on IT and will be for a long time.

>Realize that college is STEM or nothing wrong attitude, I did STEM and regret it, I don't feel motivated to get a job in the field I studied after I graduated study what you want to, just don't take out a billion in college loans and go to some super expensive school to do so
