Depressed About Job Options. Doomer 04/15/20 (Wed) 01:22:00 No.26878

Right now I am working as a call person for a bank. It pays well and might get some certifications that I can go work at another bank with and these skills would allow me to immigrate, which is great. However even though this is an industry I like, I really don't feel challenged. I mean I could probably move to New York and make bank with a bit of work, but New York sucks. Further it seems like while most the people at my work do not go autistic about banking and investment stuff, there are a few people that are decent at what they do. I really hate talking to people but the prospects of buying a cheap place to chill is what is driving me for now. Then maybe an investment property.

I have been thinking about taking CS classes as it seems like they are exciting and it is just a certificate. As I am locked in right now I might as well do something. However, when I think of switching careers it just seems like people are in it for the money, but overall I do just want to learn the info for my own use. The upside is that I could remotely work and live well in a country I like better if I decide to take a full CS degree . However in the mean time I would need to deal with codebros. It just seems like even things I like have turned into one big money press, not working on innovation. I just want to build something, whether it is a derivative of mass destruction or the next big app, but it all just seems like the same retreaded BS. Anyone feel like this about careers? I used to think I would eventually work my way up to work on something worthwhile. Now it just seems like the things I liked growing up are now just another cog, not some way to express yourself.

One thing I will say I do like is the idea of investing. You don't usually need to deal with inventory (unless it is real estate). I also like arbitrage. However it seems like it is hard to find things outside investing to arbitrage. But alas I need capital, so I will use my current job as capital, and either switch to a job that provides more capital and invest abroad, or keep on at my current job until I can quit my job. I think being an investor would be my ideal job but putting up with work in the mean time seems to be harder and harder.

Do you actually enjoy programming? Just now that nowadays it takes some skills to get hired. Also forget remote working until you are a senior. Getting a programming job nowadays is not exactly easy as there is quite a lot of competition. Especially in the US as far as I can tell. Even a degree doesn't guarantee you a job. Also to most people programming is souls crushing as hell.

That is the thing I like programming and creating things but it seems like most programming in the US is equivalent to accountancy in terms of doing stuff. I really do like programming and creating things, but my primary motivations are to get enough capital to invest. So while I like the financial services industry in terms of investing, I am worried I will be a desk monkey either way, so why not make bank on it. I could take the series 7 and 66 but I am not sure if that will lead me to a dead end job or something I would actually like. People said I was always good with computers, but seriously what the fuck does that mean? As I mentioned I seem to do well with stock picking but I don't know how to turn that into a career per se.

>>26880

Programming jobs are low-paying high-expectation jobs nowadays, litteraly not worth doing in any way.

>He doesn't want to work at wall street

>He doesn't want to rake in billions in profits and tax-free stock options bonuses each year while normalfags are out in the streets fighting over bread crumbs

>He does not want to be the next Lloyd Blankfein or Jamie Dimon

>Boss of a bank, system relevant and too big to fail, speculating on 0.1% federal reserve money making billions in profits and if shit hits the fan, Federal reserve bails you out because you are too big to fail

seriously anon, if you have the chance to do it, do it

Especially if you are in America. This is the land of oppurtunity. Evan Cuban refugees could make it big

Go to wall street, work a few years, make a few millions then you are free to either retire on your funds until you die spending every day on the beach swimming and surfing or you can then go on to start your own investment mega conglomerate because you already know the laws regulations and connections to succeed.

I honestly want to see you succeed anon.

Most of us will either suicide or if alive, never makin' it big

But you can make us all proud of you

Good Luck anon

Whatever OP does, he shouldn't rely on opinions from people on an imagebord about issues like jobs or other grown up subjects. I don't want to project too much but most people on them are bitter and toxic people who feel bad about their life. Also disregard >>26880 because that was me.

Most people are adolescents until 55.
