22 y/o "only" 10k in savings..
sunshineandcacti@reddit
Tbh I can see it. I was a full ride scholarship kid for awhile and would just stash my grants or any extra cash away into a savings account.

C_umputer@reddit
When I was 22 my "savings" were $45 left from whatever my parents gave me that month. Still can't complain, I know many have it even worse
lazyygothh@reddit
Your parents gave you money? Lucky
JojiImpersonator@reddit
At 22 as well
Sleepy_Redditorrrrrr@reddit

Like 500 yuros in savings

25 years old, -$50 in savings. Could always be worse, friend.
Coronabandito@reddit
12 years old. 2m in inheritance. Bought my 1st home when I was nine. Just keep re-rolling until you spawn in the 1 percent.
Dr_barfenstein@reddit
So, when you say “re-roll”…
Liberty_PrimeIsWise@reddit
Dispose of and replace a kid of a millionaire who looks like you.
lazyygothh@reddit
Yes
FailosoRaptor@reddit
Be a 20 something year old male. Literal God tier library drops.
Continue to whine about their learned helplessness.
College is dead at least for 10 years. It's only existence is being an adult daycare and networking. And for like 100k to 200k price tag, is it really worth it anymore?
Right now, at your finger tips you can learn about anything. Find some fellow losers and work together to build something.
You don't need permission from corporate America to build.
horiami@reddit
Can't speak for america but in my country college is just proof you can take a beating and get up and smile
Like I'm sure there are turbo autists who know how to program better than me and my classmates but companies look for proof that you can learn and adapt to difficult tasks

I mean, that's America's entire school system in a nutshell. They want to see who is complicit and willfully blind to follow. Any attempt at ambitious or aggressive behavior is treated harshly and is attempted to be extinguished, unless your parents are part of the elite.
They want you to be another brick in the wall alla Pink Floyd. Just like every nation with corporations actually running the show.
dagobert-dogburglar@reddit
dude just do your homework it’s not that deep
RadFriday@reddit
You do need professional insurance to build, which is significantly cheaper if you have a college degree and preferably an engineering license - which requires a college degree lol. This is some 1970s delulu mentality. Kids, if you see this don't trust this moron lol.
EvaUnit_03@reddit
Due to staffing issues (mainly due to wages), a lot of fields are dropping the degree prerequisite. Because what they'll pay in increased insurance will still be cheaper than paying an employee over 15 dollars an hour (or salary equivalent). Plus, its been proven that a degree is worthless without on the job training.
And when a degree is just a 'get through the door pass ticket', and every business has different ways they want to go around the same field... you can teach most people how to do mundane tasks. You can't teach innovation or reactionary responses. And those are typically heavily frowned upon in corperate.
RadFriday@reddit
I work in industrial design which is the apitome of what you describe. I work with non degree engineers. You know what that gets them? Stagnant wages because nobody else will hire them. I make as much as the guy who has 20 years experince when I have 4 because they know he doesn't really have any other options.
If you think innovation and proactive response is frowned on by corporate you're sorely incorrect. You strike me as someone who has a very jaded view of the working world despite having limited actual experience. I paid 80k for my engineering degree and it's the best decision I ever made. Paid off the debt in three years and now I make six figures at 24. Show me a journeyman electrition making that in the middle of bumfuck nowhere without working 55 hour weeks. You can't.
Real_Zxept@reddit
You can get a PE with 12 years of experience without a college degree, so that doesn’t even make any sense
EvaUnit_03@reddit
Its cute you think you are better than your co workers because you 'furthered your education'. I look forward to you reaching your 30s and being reminded of your place when your degree is outdated compared to newer degree undergrads. That's typically the fate of all college grads in tech fields. Or God forbid all this ai and robots shit goes full swing.
You either stay with it, sinking more money into constant education , or fall into obscurity like the guy with 20+ years of experience.
As someone who has a tech degree, I've seen many a former co worker change fields when the expectations of continuously sinking more into paper became too much. One guy drives Uber part time. And freelances coding on the side. He makes decent money consulting, but its not steady and stable like the Uber driving. That's the story of a lot of my friends, they needed stability and it wasn't offered by corporate America in the tech field, where any day could be your last due to [insert office issues here].
I'm 36 BTW. And I invested my excess money in stocks and bonds. And by some accounts, got lucky for investing in crypto with 'play with' money. Now i do what I want daily, within reason. I do things within my means and outside of keeping the tax man off my back, im living life as essentially pseudo retired.
RadFriday@reddit
Not better than them - they're experts in their field and they taught me everything I know. They're extremely skilled engineers kneecapped by credentials. That's my entire point.
I'm not worried about the future lol. In industrial automation, knowledge appreciates where as in tech it rapidly depreciates. I regularly work on systems from the 80s so I think I'll be good in 2040. That's the reason I dodged tech, actually. I wasn't super interested in learning a new framework every 5 years to keep up with the latest hits
EvaUnit_03@reddit
I mean, Japan had high industrial automation demand until they didn't once everything was running off... well... automation. Then they only really needed a handful to be repair men. Ionno the state that it's in within the US, but I know almost every company is trying to move to as few employees as possible, as under paid as possible. And working on something from the 80s is far easier than working on unknown tech from the 2040s. You've seen the 80s tech and what it does. But the future tech is an unknown constant. And if you think you can keep that pay without being in the up and up on the new tech WITH extra paperwork, I got a bridge I'd like to sell you.
And engineering is typically classified still as a tech degree. Yours sound more like hands on hardware side, mixed with software. Where mine was mostly software with a mix of hardware. 2 different sides of the same coin. Both at the beck and call of the same CEOs.
RadFriday@reddit
You seem a bit misinformed about this, frankly. Japan is still a global leader in automation tech. I'm not sure where you got this idea that they made a few processes work and then hung up the hat lol. Also 70s-80s panels are substantially harder to work on than anything remotely modern. I get the impression you have a vague idea of what this field is like and you're making these broad, confident statements like you're an industry expert lol
EvaUnit_03@reddit
Never said I was an expert. Just what I've read over the years because I'm not nor was I ever in automation. But I did enjoy reading about it. And watching videos of the machines go brrrr is always fun lol.
horiami@reddit
College fucked me up but in the 1 semester i didn't have any classes i felt i was going crazy doing nothing so i got an easy job
I'd get a fast food job over just being a neet
sunshineandcacti@reddit
I always suggest people try PRN healthcare. Decent money for just chilling or doing simple tasks.
EvaUnit_03@reddit
Are we talking about the same neets? They shouldn't be let near any child, especially sick children.
sunshineandcacti@reddit
I think you’re confusing PRN and Pediatric.
PRN is just an on call basis. Like they’d call you if staffing is short or if you want some hours you hit them up.
One of my first jobs was PRN hospitality aid which is basically a fancy way of saying I was able to serve water to people or get them snacks. It was $19 or $20 an hour.
