Don't listen to this Bluepilled advice: "Just study what you enjoy!"

[....]

This is commonly said by teachers to students who are applying to University. "Just study what you enjoy!"

It has the same meaning as this "Just take a shower and get a haircut bro!"

The "study what you enjoy" cope only applies to those who come from well off families, much like the "Just take a shower and get a haircut bro!" only applies to good looking people. This is what you should ask yourself when deciding your subject

Q1. Are you rich? If no, then cross off gender studies, media studies, liberal arts, etc. Cross of all mickey mouse degrees

You should then be left with the following: Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Medicine, Law, Economics,Chemistry

Q2: Are you autistic? If yes, then you cross of medicine, law, economics

You are then left with Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering or Chemistry.

JFL. None of the STEMcels I know enjoy studying math 6-8 hours per day. But we do it because we know it will make us bank at the end of it.

Do you come from a well of family? I think this is why you are saying this shit.

I think most poor people would be willing to study something they don't like if they were gonna get a 150k starting salary from it

you say that as if you just study for 3 years hating your life and then you get 150k salary and boom life sorted

No you stusy for 3 years and then if youre lucky you get entry level role on 30-40k

And then if you bust your ass hard and work long hours you get an more experienced role earning 50-100K or higher in some disciplines afyer literally dedicating your entire life to it. JFL

Study something you enjoy is legit blackpill advice because once youre comfortable moeny is a redpill cope

I guess the 30-40k you are referring to is £ UK starting salaries? Yeah starting salaries in the UK is bad, that's why most will go abroad to work where it's much higher.

The average starting salary for a software dev is like 100k in America, if you are actually decent, then this will be a bit higher

You can either try making your hobby a career

or you can get a career to fuel your hobbies.

I used to be into architecture and wanted to study it, but it doesn't pay very well and is super competitive. If i stop being interested in arch i'll end up w a degree that isn't too useful for anything else and a career i won't be making money of either.

Its higher iq to get a job you make good money from and then if you really want just work part time and still make more than your passion job. You'll have more money for hobbies that require money and much more freedom in general.

actually a good level headed mindset

but the only issue is a lot of high pay jobs involve long hour and lots of stress so you need to consider this in your decisiona as well.

Often better to go for a more mid paying job so you can stress min

Making a hobby of a carrer is probaly the best idea . No matter what your work will be most of your life. You will lose freedom if you don’t chose that

 

[....]

that literally says 77k USD above you and converted to £ thats about 60k

And that's much higher than the 30-40k you mentioned right? Also, I believe it's much closer to 100k usd, especially if you are somewhat decent and graduated from the right colleges

A Java developer makes good money and it isn't stressful but not exactly interesting either.

It'll give high salary + high flexibility so you can focus on what really matters in life (booze and women)

But its not the number that was literally qouted above

Making your hobby your career is EXTREMELY hard and its not freedom either because it'll mean you'll do highly specified work most likely which means your stuck at that job. Doesn't matter what you do it won't be fun after 30 years but with your mindset you'll be stuck either way.

yes and thats exactly the carrer I have chosen (well almost- Im a developer but not in Java)

and I choose it for EXACTLY those reasons.

It pays fairly well- not as well as a lawyer or investment banker but I have nothing like their stress levels and hours.

I can focus on what really matters in life and thats enjoying the fruits of hedonism on this planet during my breif existence before my spark goes out and I die.

ngl I have disagreed with you on some stuff in the past here but you have really hit the nail on the head for once

If you want to make a choice every time you go to your job you wanna blow your brains out for some little extra money. And I don't think making job of a hobby will mean its super specified

Tech is probably one of the best ways to retire early tbf especially if you're willing to live in a tech capital like San Fransico and can change company often to get higher pay quicker as they're under high demand.

sounds like a decent plan but ngl even in the absolute best case scenario I dont see how you can retire after 5 year.


Absolute best case scenario would be like 12-15 id say

Most Indians are low IQ, even the ones that go to the top IITs and transfer to MIT for masters and PHD. Just studycel. 12h per day minimum

living costs are a thing too- and if you wanna work in a big tech company then youll have to live in a high cost city most likely.


that 100k usd if you did manage to get a high paying tech job in america (massive if its isnanely competivie)- will be 70 ish after taxes, make that 45k once you take off your living costs (assuming your giga frugal).

Even if the absolute best case scenario you arent retiring before 35

No, they're smarter than me. I am just a low IQ Bangladeshi muzzie.

When statistical adjustments are used to convert the backward digit span results to full-scale IQ scores, Indian Americans place at about 112 on a bell-shaped IQ distribution, with white Americans at 100. 112 is the 79th percentile of the white distribution. For more context, consider that Ashkenazi Jews are a famously intelligent ethnic group, and their mean IQ is somewhere around 110.

Math teacher is a good rebound job if you couldn’t get a proper job. However you need public speaking + teaching skills. Thats why so many math teachers are aspy garbage teachers

And most of us are incels with no social life... so no doubt most of us can spend lots of time... get really good... get really good college... and then get into top companies and they definitely pay 150k starting salaries

I'm weird af

I enjoy and excel in Computer Science courses. I just love computers, programming and all the problem solving shit

But I'm lower iq on Calculus and mainly I don't feel like doing any Calclulus work and it's boring af. I just procrastinate / don't do math homework and do poorly on tests as a result

I'd probably do good in endocrinology though thanks to all my autistic gymcelling and height hormone research that made me interested in it. That's not as fun as learning CS though because there's no computer problem solving

sorry to break it to u bud but that's just not realistic, like at all.
When there is a possibility of extreme values ie (senior SE jobs with 10+ years of experience at big tech companies in a huge city), averages give very skewed results.
Median is a better way to get a good idea on how much you'll be making in an entry-level job.

Lmao unless you're some rich chink, ivy League graduate and wanna rot away memorising hundreds of useless algos then maybe.
