Teach yourself a trade, marketable skill, or f you can afford it get education/paid training. If you have any intelligence you can get a career in IT with some pretty feasible self teaching.

What are you good at? Do you have any skills?

Depends on your career trajectory. My best friend is a chef who is in his 30's and makes about the same which is standard for that line of work. His plan is to continue building his resume and then get funding to open his own place.

If you're in banking after 3 years making $20/hr, then you're in trouble.

I'm 29 and unemployed but have made roughly $100/hour this year just buying shitcoins and playing video games

I'm a heavy equipment operator who was trained at my current job. What's the best way/time to ask for a raise?

back when I was your age, I made $16.50/hour, traveled 2 hours to work everyday, and liked it. Why? Because I was fucking employed. Get fucked "i" generation. Millennial masterrace

you ever had a gf?
had a few when younger, glad theyre gone, not gotten laid in 7 or 8 months because i just cant be fucked to go out pleasing them wasting money on them, loneliness is where it's at, you can focus on things without some bitch blowing up your phone every day. Friends admittedly are a bit more important but i don't know what to say about that, got some i've had for 22 of my 25 years, i couldnt live without those goys i dont think, i definitely would need some pussy if they werent there

play me in aoe2 conquerors faggot

never had a gf, never recieved a text from a girl or had any kind of physical interaction, even though i try to reach out

even the girls i went to school with declines my facebook friend invites

Damn son, hobbies? Learn an instrument, go back into education or foreign language/cooking classes? sounds a bit gay but you meet people studying, even if they are boring fucks 9 times out of 10, its decent socialising if with fellow autists

Holy fuck listen to you guys complain. Im a fucking virgin, dropped out of college because my anxiety got so bad I couldnt look myself in the mirror, I live at home, and I make fucking $10 an hr at 23. My net worth is like 15k. It could always be worse.

my hobbies are crypto
i know how to cook and i speak 3 languages

cant see how learning to play flute will help me in anyway

tbqh i think its too late to reverse it now, anyone normal would have lost their virginity before they hit 20 and would have found their love of their life before mid 20's

music is really good for relaxing and forgetting about things, but the first 3 years or so of learning are horrible. Try whores or something? even paying for sex is better than never getting any

> still working on getting my first hug
I know that khhv feel

i dont care about sex, i dont even masturbate anymore

i'd rather pay a whore to snuggle with me instead of fucking her, but that would still mean nothing without the emotions behind it

i can't empathise with that part im afraid, beginning to think im a sociopath because i just dgaf about anyone i've known less than 10 years and only really care for money etc atm because women and shit friends always held me back. sounds kinda the opposite to you if you do have all that money and those language skills, maybe you should take your money and go travelling/drinking and attempt to bone some foreign birds

I will be 24 next week and make only 10 dollars an hour

but I have 300k in crypto. Who wins?

I'm about to be 24 and make $12 per hour. It fucking sucks but apparently my BSBA is worthless. I live right near the shipyards and I'm into cars and trade sort of stuff but everyone who works there gets cancer or dies or ruins their body and no longer enjoys doing their trade. No idea what to do

I'm 20 and I make 1000€ a month. DONT FUCKING COMPLAIN ABOUT 20\h YOU FUCKING IDIOTS.

This. I'm 27 in California with a master's in accounting working big-4 and after taxes I make $21/hr.

yes

lol. my profits so far average out to 10k+ a month after being in the market for less than 18 months. At ATH my profits averaged out to 20-40k a month. And I started with

Be happy with it, you'll probably be laid off and flipping burgers for 7.25/hour soon anyway and be reminiscing about how great 20/hour is.

Haha

>If you have any intelligence you can get a career in IT with some pretty feasible self teaching.
What are the best options? The top option in my view is software development, but I hear things like Unix security and networking are good.

Depends on where you live. I would have killed to make that much at that age. I live in the middle of bumfuck and you can live a comfortable life on that much.

If you mean you want to not wagecuck for the rest of your life then yes. Your potential is already spent, you're gonna wagecuck and die.

Just learn how to code brainlet. Places don't care if you have a degree or not they care what you can do. If you have a decent portfolio of shit you've done you'll get the job.

Ok thanks

Learn a Web app framework like Django or Laravel, then move on to C++/Scala/Kotlin

Why the fuck is this even news? He looks like a child, he should already expect that people might confuse him for one. Sounds like just an excuse to get exposure in the media.

By the way, is that what you did? I'm 29, will they judge me based on my age? I have a babyface.

I am 25 and I make 5€/hour, my crypto stack is 6 figures

fuck both of you.

I make 15 an hour and I'm 29 in CA.

>50k in Funfair is all my life is worth =\
Nice, stick with it and you'll have a fair sum there to help you out before the year is through, assuming Bitcoin doesn't make any huge moves

Nah, they don't care about age or creed (unless you're like a grandpa) and even then if you have a ridiculous portfolio of work/experience then they won't care. Half the trick is the interview questions, some places have good interview questions some have banal bordering ridiculous questions that are meant to be tricky but come off as stupid. I'll get a wave of "le reddit" posts but seriously, go to reddit. There are a lot of good subs that will help lead the way and get you prepared.

I entered in at $60,000 at the age of 32 with no prior experience. I was kind of lucky so don't expect the offer to be that high, $40,000 is closer to entry.

Thank you for the advice, I truly appreciate it. I do have some experience with development but it's quite basic. I spent about two months learning and I know the basics: variables, loops, functions, basic OOP/inheritance. I have a passing familiarity with time complexity and I think I could learn a passable amount about it by the time I need to apply somewhere. I've checked out cscareerquestions in the past and it seemed to be mostly young kids saying "lol good luck without an Ivy League education" so I got discouraged.

But tl;dr: I can write a simple mobile app that pulls data from a json API and displays it in a user-friendly manner in accordance with the design guidelines of the respective system (Android, iOS).

Can you sort of ballpark how far I am from where I need to be to get a real job in the field? Keep in mind that I'm a NEET and my "work history" consists of gambling on shitcoins. I'm smart but basically unemployable in the traditional sense according to Reddit types... which is incredibly disheartening.

I do have the funds for an education, I've just put off getting one because they seem like a waste of time and money when I can do it on my own, all else equal.

>But tl;dr: I can write a simple mobile app that pulls data from a json API and displays it in a user-friendly manner in accordance with the design guidelines of the respective system (Android, iOS).

Sounds like you have enough familiarity to freelance. Start with that. There are dozens of freelance sites where you can set your price by project or hour. If you're serious about wanting experience to become employed and you want it as fast as possible then I suggest you work for peanuts until you have a sizable portfolio.

I had some luck on upwork.com/o/jobs/browse/c/web-mobile-software-dev/ before I was employed.
Didn't charge more than $10 per hour. I did take some jobs pro bono (Most left it at that, some paid regardless.)

Good luck user.

>I had some luck on upwork.com/o/jobs/browse/c/web-mobile-software-dev/ before I was employed.
I view this purely as something to pad out my experience and portfolio and I don't really need the money, but nonetheless when I checked out upwork, I didn't find much that basically wouldn't amount to working for free.

I can afford to work for free, so that's not exactly a deal-breaker... but is that really a sensible route?

In other words, if I have a few simple projects that I completed pro-bono on my resume within the last 6 or so months, will a company take a look at me despite the fact that I'm going to be 30 soon and have no real qualifications otherwise?

Also, do you have any tips regarding finding good starter projects on upwork? I view being unable to provide assets (art, etc.) as a major disadvantage, as most projects seem to expect something complete, whereas I'd be focusing just on development.

20$/hr is pretty good, shit is rough out there.

If you can afford to work for free then why don't you find some interesting open source projects and push commits for a while?

At least that way you'll only have to focus on code, you'll get to choose work you might enjoy, and it will also show prospective employers that you know how to use github and that you can refactor other peoples shitty code (which is what you'll be doing 90% of the time at work anyway)

I hadn't considered that, thanks for the suggestion. I do wonder how my resume would look with just a bunch of open source contributions, though. I thought about working on independent open source projects in which case I'd have a project-driven portfolio, but how would I list contributions? Just "refactored features x for project y" or similar?

Are you jealous of gay dudes getting blown by other dudes?

Fucking kek

I think generally employers are looking for either savant-level talent, or someone with coding ability and decent social skills so they can get on with the rest of the team/don't cause major headaches for HR.

Plus if you're contributing mainly to open source projects it shows that your interest in coding isn't purely motivated by money. Unless you're wicked at UI design then yeah i'd play it humble.

I'm not exactly a social butterfly—I'm very introverted in general—but I'm friendly and capable of basically niceties without sperging out. I can generally get the gist of what people really mean when they describe a problem ("normie" language -> actual first step of troubleshooting or project development). Beyond that I'm not sure

I definitely don't have savant-level talent.

I've just spent the last few months thinking it was pretty much hopeless for me so I've been fairly pessimistic due to that.

Would you suggest going to meet-ups? I can't find many relevant (to my current skills—basically Android development) meetups in my area and I'm not really sure what I'd be doing there (making small talk about my own projects with strangers?) so I haven't bothered thus far

When you say play it humble, what do you mean exactly? Keep my resume pitch simple and honest and hope for the best?

$20/hour is a pretty respectable wage where I'm from. You guys must live in really expensive areas.

holy shit people still play this? feels. I can't remember the name of the program, but I did play AOE2 and Empire Earth on this program that would host old games several years ago. There would only be like 20 people online though, so it was really hard to get one going.

tunngle?

> "lol good luck without an Ivy League education" so I got discouraged.

Damn you're me. I also spent about 1-2 months coding (only on SWIFT though). Then I went on Indeed and saw you needed atleast 5 years of experience.

Me being a 29 year old NEET, I figure I didn't have a chance against the college kids who were CS majors. But then again, I guess if I was discouraged enough, maybe it wasn't for me anyway.

If you really enjoy it and can see yourself doing it, then keep it going. Go on YouTube and look up life of programmer videos and such. See if you can see yourself doing that.

Nah wasn't that. Oh well. I do miss AOE2 and Empire Earth. Dem middle school feels.

Damn, your situation sounds virtually identical to mine. Any chance you want to get in touch (throwaway email is fine) just to chat, exchange info, etc.? Seems like we could help each other out and I know it'd be a morale boost for me to know someone else out there is in the same spot.

no problem if you're not interested

Introverted is fine. How easily you fit in will be down to the culture of the company, but introverts are always preferred over whiney assholes. I only recently became a developer myself at the age of 30 with no degrees or certifications and only a few scraps of code, but i'd been in IT operations for the previous 4 years and demonstrated that i had enough of the soft skills required to get along with a team of developers.

Meet-ups probably aren't a bad idea. It's definitely something you could put on your resume. Extra-curricular community involvement shows again that you take coding fairly seriously, you'll probably learn some useful stuff along the way, you can get a feel for the sort of people you might end up working with, and it's a good way to network as well. You might even come across employment opportunities.

I'd also learn a bit about different project management methodologies. If you land an interview and you can demonstrate that you understand the basics of things like Agile/Scrum, there's less chance of you immediately being written off when you walk out the door. And yeah simple + honest is the best, especially if you actually tailor your resume to the company you're applying for and explain why you think you'd be a good candidate. If you make your resume big and flashy and fill it with junk they will see right through it. This is just my experience though, YMMV

Thanks for the tips. Would you say that my outlook on getting a degree—that it'd offer a poor return on my time and money relative to the alternative of self-study—is correct?

You going to suck his dick??

I just want a dev buddy

I’m 27 and only make 18 an hour if you break down my salary. My jobs easy as fuck, I get my own office and personal bathroom, have a 15 min commute and my side hustle brings in another 20-35k a year tho so I’m more than happy.

Living the life. What do you do?

Again I can only speak from personal experience but half of the devs i work with don't hold degrees. And over the years i've worked with plenty of CS majors who never managed to get out of entry level service desk or desktop support roles. In the corporate world they care mostly about practical certifications for specific technologies. CS is pretty broad...more useful if you're going to become a researcher or something, not so much if you're just writing scripts and manipulating databases.

Well that's reassuring, I suppose my only lingering concerns are related to me having no 'official' work history. Hopefully open source contributions and personal projects can overcome that to some extent.

$20 an hour is like $50k a year isn't it? I'd say it's pretty good.

It won't be easy but it's not impossible. Do some open source stuff for a while then cruise the meetups in your area and talk to people, be friendly and interested in what they have to say, share some cool and whacky stories about yourself (you can stretch the truth here, just sound like you're a fun guy lol) and then ask them for opinions/advice when their defence is down ;D. Oh don't forget to add them on LinkedIn too, i'm sure that helps. It'll be a big hustle but just keep going until you finally land that first job. Good luck user :)
