Totally feel you... now I am in Denmark, one of the greatest lib shitholes (I am not really happy saying this, because there are a lot of cool people), and whenever I mention my studies, they give me the looks, and talks behind... It's not fair. I sometimes don't even mention the word firearm, just mechanic...
>>28640680
Don't say you're a mechanic, say you study Engineering.
>>28640793
I fucking hate lying
I wanted to get into Aerospace or Mechanical Engineering, but medical issues have postponed those plans.
I have to finish high school first and then get fixed. I'm gonna be 40 by the time I enter college at this point.

>IT middle management
it's kind of a dead end as far as career trajectory goes, I also hate where things are going (I don't mean sinking ship, I mean turning into a bureaucratic red tape nightmare, but #s are up) since our company got acquired by another and the subsequent infrastructure changes/reorg but It's TOO comfortable/convenient/easy for me to make a serious job search effort in my free time.
Like I would leave today if I got an offer out of the blue (didn't get any I particularly liked up to this point), but if I don't, I could stick around here for the next ten years.
If I ever make it big on stocks or win the lottery and retire early or something I would like to operate a gun store/range. Like primarily a range; the storefront portion would be relatively small, without much in stock; just a handful of rare-ish but not super expensive items like astras, calicos, deagles, etc... and mainly sell ammo (all calibers) and dealing in consignment and special orders. So like a gun range with a big ammo store, and some boutique guns.

I bet you're French and went to Saint-Etienne gunsmithing school.
Move out of your country to get into the industry. Bonus point if you speak English + German / Russian / Other relevant language.

Keep an eye on USAJobs (.gov or .com, can't remember). There's such a thing as a mechanic who gets to chill at remote Forest Service sites to do vehicle maintenance/firefighting.

I will fellow anon, im actually doing really well. AML is my type of leukimia if anyone was interested. I start my last round of chemo next week, a month or so after that should be out of hospital and done with treatment. It is a rather rare cancer for young people. Most people diagnosed with it are over 60, that is why the 5 year survival is only 50% but because I am only 19 I have a better chance.

I'm studying a lot of network security and programming in my free time. I want to finish some certifications on the security side of IT and like to fiddle with video games in my spare time. I want to develop a series of games that deal with more boring aspects of war such as logistics and supply of forces in various theaters.

>>28644422
welcome to life my friend
>>28644503
I don't really know what do. I'm not depressed, I'm just really bored with everything and nothing looks exciting. I don't know if I could do an actual career because every job I've worked at so far gets boring inside of a year. And on top of that, I don't really don't care about money or material shit and that's the end goal of all common life paths. I've considered just getting some land out in the middle of nowhere and take a break from modern society, just for something to do, but I really like stuff like electric heat, running water, and internet.

Buy what interests you. If you don't know what that is find a range that rents guns and rent a lot of guns.

I absolutely hate it. I loved making shit back when I took the tech center classes back in high school, but now my job is totally unfulfilling. There is no creating anything I simply translate what someone else wants into metal. The only days I feel good about it are ones that involve me spending most of the day unfucking some stupid problem. Other than that I simply drift through the day and watch numbers show up in my bank account.
I hope springtime comes early this year I have plans for my garden.
