>PhD in physics >5 publications >still no postdoc or job after 5-6 months of applying >Learn some coding so I can work in some start-up >be bored one day and want to strike some conversation so I talk to the guy in the cubicle next to mine and ask him "Hey, what's up man" and the fucking uneducated troglodyte answers "Oh, nothing man just checking these javascript tutorials on youtube. It's so hard, right?"
>JESUS FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
>what is the point of advancing yourself to the forefront of human knowledge, to then be working with people that don't even know basic algebra?
you dont have a phd with 5 publications because you need 7 minimum, try again later neet
Eli Ortiz
>falling for the STEM meme Yeah I gave up on STEM last year when I realized fucking none of us there were gonna get jobs in it. Studying business now and my dad - who owns his own business - has a fuckton of connections so I'm all set.
Not purely - it's not as if I don't pass and do well at my business classes. But if you think that you have a good chance of getting employed in the private sector without connections you're fucking laughably naive. It's all about who you know, not what you know.
Kayden Lee
Just get a real job you fucking nerd, Jesús
Ayden Howard
i can't think of a single degree or normal job path which isn't a meme anymore
>But if you think that you have a good chance of getting employed in the private sector without connections Obviously not, but such connections should be forged via interaction with people and hardwork and not handed to you via familial ties like it's the 1800's.
Jacob Richardson
Hope this doesnt happen to me. Im currently studying EE at my uni and still have to choose a master. They shilled EE hard and said that finding a job in the Netherlands is easy with EE.
Think I might start a company or smth so I dont have to move to the city or the west.
Elijah Johnson
My friend has a PhD in CS too. He's also unemployed.
I gave up and am getting a job as middle management administrator
Jose Morris
But op didnt you have any friends on the uni? Cant Imagine them all not having good jobs. You mist be able to get there by having good contacts right?
Aiden Bell
Yeah, I'm thinking of starting my own company too. Getting a job is so fucking hard nowadays
Nathan Reyes
And there should be eternal world peace too. Problem is, that's never gonna happen.
Jordan Flores
How are you supposed to interact with business owners without being introduced to them via your family member that works with them? It's not as if I can just hit them up randomly on Facebook and chat with them out of the blue.
Look, I know the concept of the world not being a 100% communist utopia that bans nepotism and favouritism upsets your sensibilities, but this is how it fucking works in private business. To act otherwise is just fucking naive and shows you've never worked in it before.
Xavier Rogers
Many trades jobs like plumbler, electrician etc pay nice and have very good job securacy. There is a huge shortage of them because most kids study useless shit like buisness, art, fashion or sports at low level schools. You're beter of learning a skill.
Sebastian Sanchez
>thinks starting his own company is easier than just getting a regular job
This. Here in Australia literally the only industry that has more demand than supply of employees is the trades. Plus you actually earn pretty fucking great money in it. Way better than some self-harm-inducing office job.
Jaxon Wood
Unemployment in our country is kept artificially high to make more people want to serve in the military
Jacob Cox
>The unemployment rate in Denmark stood at 3.9 percent in July 2018
how the fuck can you be unemployed, you absolute pice of shit?
Benjamin White
Exactly, but that doesn't make it any better.
>How are you supposed to interact with business owners without being introduced to them via your family member that works with them? You are clearly fucking retarded, there are a million events that businesses put on where they intermingle with students, universities also host plenty of such events. It really is contacting the right people and finding who needs the skills you have.
>100% communist utopia that bans nepotism and favouritism I have a degree in Economics you nonce, a properly functioning perfect free market would be free of nepotism and would be a meritocracy. Nice business degree retard.
> be unemployed > send out application after application after application >??? send out more applications?
> be unemployed > send out application after application after application > might as well start a business
Luke Gray
>degree in economics and not something actually useful and practical outside of theory kek
Elijah Fisher
The vast majority of small businesses fail pretty quickly. What makes you think you have the knowledge and skill to make it succeed when you can't even get a fucking job?
Asher Reyes
If you look at any data that has ever been published you'll find that Economics majors have the highest average earnings for commerce degrees. Anyway, regulating the economy as a whole is more important than finding new ways to advertise Fornite to zoomers or preventing workers from filing lawsuits.
Julian Sullivan
im doing a mechanics course after dropping out of uni but im pretty shit at it. I dunno i don't really have natural ability with working with my hands and you really need to be good to get picked up as an apprentice because we need tradesmen a lot more than they need low skilled workers which wont be able to do anything useful for a year or two.
Daniel Long
Chem here. I jumped ship at the MS level and got a decent paying brainlet job with the serfs. No money in academic knowledge anymore. Only way to make it is through high risk entrepreneurialism or "investing" in speculative shit and hitting big. My plan is to move to asia now and open a surf shop. Fuck science.
Grayson Ross
Then get a more difficult job you motherfucker. Not everyone is like you. Become a teacher or smthing you fucking diva!
David Powell
Lots of demand for nursing homes
Sebastian Campbell
>Anyway, regulating the economy as a whole is more important than finding new ways to advertise Fornite to zoomers or preventing workers from filing lawsuits Typically elitist attitude of an economist: "lol private businesses are irrelevant, the only thing that matters is centrally-planned economics from the government".
Unironically kill yourself you fucking statist pig.
Evan Myers
Sounds nice, dude.
Colton Phillips
3rd lowest unemployment in the EU so pretty good I guess
Have fun trying to run a business with a completely fucked monetary policy, hyperinflation(or deflation), vicious boom/bust cycles. Not to mention all the monopolies, lack of provision of public goods and all the other roles the government has in enabling an actual free market.
The most important part of economics is knowing what interventions are necessary, and what are not.
Daniel Miller
>PhD in something other than math or economics Doesn't, that mean employers think you're being overqualified for whatever starting position they have for you ? Usually doctors end up teaching or doing research.
Charles Jenkins
You sound like a literal communist. "Nah trust me guys, it's necessary for the government to regulate the entire economy. Yeah I know that sounds like the opposite of a free market, but I'm an economist and you're just a stupid fucking small business peasant, so I know better than you. Just let me decide how you should interact with the economy, it'll all work out fine."
I'm probably going to end up doing something terrible.
Mason Wilson
Well, maybe someday you'll get the job you're looking for - being a slave to the government and getting paid to have casual disdain for small business owners - but since your major was economics I doubt you have the ability to actually find a job. Best of luck, though, you fucking faggot.
David Wilson
I'm a javascript wizard that hates the start up culture that came from across the Atlantic so now I'm just neeting my life away.
Adam Hernandez
Leave the Finns alone!
Now I wish I was a communist.
Adam Nguyen
Are the rules universal? What if he only needs 5 in Danelaw?
James Price
You're too ignorant for words senpai
Austin Davis
Faggot pom
James Baker
he would have say that, but obviously hes a neet and this board is full of retarded middle class children who do nothing
Jacob Gutierrez
I saw you complaining on /sci/ last night faggot. That's what you get for falling for the PhD meme
Juan Reed
You sound born to have a public servant job and do programming side-jobs.
Alexander Cruz
Nobody needs my qualifications
Cooper Scott
i'm working on my phd and frankly i don't think i'll get a job out of it
in late capitalism we need to consider the fact that we won't starve, but to thrive we must dedicate some of our time to making money
so, academics need to revert to the pre-20th century way of studying; not as a career, but as amateurs rather than professionals. In the future all research will be privately funded too.
thank God you're not in the humanities or soft sciences OP
Brayden Harris
Just trying to hit quadrilingualism and getting a job in the touristic industry. Cabin crew sounds good and as a guy quotas actually advantage me for once.
Aiden Sullivan
Good luck I guess
Wyatt Johnson
I'm a male flight attendant.
Brody Murphy
Do you have to be sexy to get hired?
Adam Rodriguez
Nope, you just have to be gay.
Christian Bailey
Are the female flight attendants lesbians ?
Aiden Morris
I got told this and studied EE. Took me 4 months after graduating to get a job, but I had to network for that. I had an EE friend that took 2 years to get a job as an engineer.
Julian Walker
>On Jow Forums >Female You're talking to a gay male Australian and you know it.
Michael Bailey
I just want to be a peasant desu
David Edwards
Never said I thought that, was just asking if the opposite were true.
Dude even said he was male from the get-go.
Jack Gutierrez
Go to London to be a quant researcher at a hedge fund.
Jace Ward
Is STEM a meme? I don't want to waste 4 years in school while laboring only to end up with the same job I'm working now. All my friends seem end up working for the government and the public sector rather than private sector which questions the stability of the job market.
Luke Mitchell
No jobs unless you're a programmer or doctor
Carter King
how do you "network" when looking for architectural work starting with 0 connections?
You can make hundreds of thousands of crowns per month in finance. Stem PhD+programming is just the right thing for many jobs there.
Kayden Adams
Ask people for jobs at events where CEOs appear I think. I don't have the nerve to do this but I did go to events.
Yes but I'm not in finance
Ryder Anderson
Meet people from your school typically.
Jaxson Price
Ugh, Renaissance Technologies. Just ew.
Michael Fisher
I'm saying that you can go into it. Quantitative researcher or quantitative trader are the jobs that you're great for.
Xavier Torres
Sadly, you can't avoid normie retards my friend. Keep trying to become a professor in a uni. It's probably the only place where it's not as bad.
Daniel Jones
>i can't think of a single degree or normal job path which isn't a meme anymore
degrees or other educational pathways that aren't a meme >everything involving math >IT (especially if it involves math) >pharmacy >to some degree other non-math sciences similar to pharmacy (e.i. degrees that work with the same mindset, like how to care on a mass scale for livestock) >every kind of medicine >law >(despite memes) economy >some (despite even more memes) business degrees >most jobs that require some excess of physical strength (mostly in first world countries though) >all trades
i don't even know why Jow Forums says every degree is a meme in denmark most people who study humanities become teachers and they generally have low pay but also really low unemployment
Ian Lewis
You just have to be less lazy and work harder
Luis Garcia
Now I'm aroused
James Lopez
hint: the meme is thinking just having qualifications is enough
Nathan Peterson
Very bad
Ethan Cook
Why? Don't you already have a massive and powerfull military?
