I am currently in my last year of school for History.
I want to be a teacher, and there are 10,000,000 job openings for US/World History teachers in my state, and in nearby states.
The pay may suck, but the one good thing about being a teacher is that you have your pick of the litter as far as where you want to work goes.
Any other teachers here? What state do you teach in? I live in Florida, but I doubt I want to teach here, it sucks.
>>76551981
Just got my associate's degree in networking and information systems. I've literally gotten 10 interview offers (took 4 of them) in the last couple weeks. 1st interview I mildly blundered but the interview I had today went excellent, I think.
Most of you are americans? Why dont you just start a company with a good app. Like in the Sillicon Valley series.
Lawfag student here. Went to my first job interview ever today, aiming to get a job as an intern in a nice big office. They put me in a room with 5 other people like me and made us talk about ourselves and other things, then I had to write an essay about my hopes and dreams and then translate a text from english to portguese and another from portuguese to english. Also it's the first time I wore a suit that I actually owned.
I'm still embarassed and shaking a little. They say they'll e-mail us telling us if we fit their profile in up to a month.
I hope I did well. Wish me luck lads.

They really only do that if you're an elementary school teacher (even though I had one male elementary school teacher, and he was by far the best one).

>>76554091
Not a teacher, but a couple friends of mine are. The trick seems to be to get in with a private school. Catholic schools in particular have openings all the time. The pay may be a little lower depending on where you're at, but at least your workday won't be hell.

Seriously, anyone who isn't a total moron, and doesn't have a better idea should just get an IT certification. Millennials tend to underestimate how tech illiterate the bulk of the population is. You don't even need to be a good coder to do most basic corporate IT work.
Too many people are still stuck fantasizing about quick money in the financial industry, or glamorous law jobs. That shit basically doesn't exist anymore unless you're a top of class Ivy graduate.

>>76554752
Well you'd have to spend as much time on it as a typical full work day, so, standard eight hours.
Bear in mind, it's all tedious work, so you'll need to develop some form of patience. Mturkforums has some good advice for maximizing your daily earnings, some go to the extent of making autohotkeys to rapidly do 'batch hits,' which are ones that take seconds and pay pennies, but add up if you do them at a fast rate.
Similarly leddit has some good mturk boards that post HITs that pay well for little time. Peruse those places and you'll be able to make more than you otherwise would.
graduated in 2003 and grabbed the last good IT job for new grads. sorry lads

in your case as a mature student, it depends on what u want to do with that degree. if ur just doing it to chill and learn new shit, that's cool, but if ur gonna pursue a job in it.....

going home after 1 year and getting a real job, thank you jesus.
>>76555511
Not enough, then again, I haven't upped my time. I will have to soon, however.
Right now it's about $15 on a good day after 3 - 4 hours of uninterrupted time. My understanding is the longer you spend on it the more you will make, depending on completed qualification tests, availability of HITs, etc.
It's certainly not sustainable income and might not seem worth the time, but fuck it, makes me feel like I'm contributing at least something. Our generation's fucked m8.

There is no reason to work a minimum wage job in the US.
You can just get government programs and gibzmedatz and make as much as a minimum wage cuck without working.

I am just stating a fact. If you're working minimum wage in the US, you should probably just get fired, go on unemployment and welfare and sign up for all da programz and gibzmedatz.
You could use that time to get certified in something, or take online classes, or look for a job that isn't minimum wage.
>>76556012
Very useful information, thanks. I've heard about the selective processes of many of the big financial law firms, but I'm yet to experience many of them first hand.
Huh, I would have thought your friends would have provided useful connections in those firms, and they're typically the more lenient employers nationwide.
I would be trying to combine it with my current law master's, which is specialised in corporate law. I have the money to support another 3-4 years at Uni, but it may not even provide a benefit - the job market is so saturated...
>>76556345
Employers don't give a fuck about what you want. You think your shit tier BA will net you 40k a year with benefits because you spent four years fapping and discussing social justice? Prove that you can work faggot beg for a job stick with it for a a few years and maybe you will be worth something

my friends are in the right places now to give me a hand should i want to go into the meat grinder. at that time, they were at the same place as me. however, even then, there's only so much they can do. job experiences can come by in law firms or chambers, but it's impromptu nature makes it very evident that you are a product of nepotism, which the HR department will dismiss. and here is the nut of the problem. the guardians of the gate are the HR people who are not necessarily trained in law, but trained in spotting bullshit and following a rubric of candidates, as well as quotas etc etc. so while i have friends who have received extended 'schemes' at norton rose and freshfields, none of that matters becasue even the partners and associates must defer to the HR people.
i've done a masters in public international law, which is why i am doing my phd now, but your masters should get you through. more importantly than that though, is your grades. getting a distinction / first on your masters goes without saying if you even want a shot at the big law firms. you also need strong grades from bachelors level + a name uni. its fucked, m8
PS i have friends who have done their llm's in international finance and investment arbitration etc etc, and they seem to haev all been whisked away, so maybe it'll be better for you
Taking an extra year to get my BS/MS, but I had a few offers that I could have taken if I graduated last month with just the BS. Nothing fancy, just reliable, well-paying jobs and big companies. Of course, being 250k in debt, I'll still be living like a homeless person.

Your friends should really help as useful contacts, but I'm going in without any contacts - my Uni mates are all specialised in Tort and Criminal Justice, so I was very much the odd one out in our accommodation
The requirements needed for corporate law can be incredibly vexing at the best of times - if your experience in chambers is downcast as labeling you a product of nepotism, there's little left besides internships, and you're going to be left with these impenetrable HR people to deal with.
What sort of grades did your friends get in their degrees? I imagine they were first class, or at the very least the top band of 2:1. I've got a first class bachelors and master's from Warwick, which I hope will serve me well.

you can attend an emt b course without going to college but the overwhelming majority of emt b courses require some sort of primers in medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, pharmacology. lots of places that offer an emt b course also will offer some of these in prep to take it.
the emt basic course is a semester long, unless you find some sort of accelerated course, which i'm assuming must exist somewhere. it's usually considered the equivalent of 9-12 credit hours. after you earn your basic cert you can move on to a paramedic course. these vary in length but not in load. accelerated courses typically are two semesters long, and are the equivalent of roughly 30 total credit hours. lengthier courses take three semesters.
if you're going to make the commitment to become a paramedic you may as well enroll in college to do it, because on top of your certs you'll have your associates in two years.
i wouldn't recommend doing it if you can't imagine putting in the same effort to save a black gay jew's life as you would a white blue eyed woman. medics tend to burn out over the course of their career but the ones who love people burn out slower or not at all. your primary customers will be people drowning in poverty. also don't join if you're anti-union because we don't want you if that's the case

And yeah good luck getting into the foreign service with "dancing monkey" on your resume while all your competitors have prestigious internships. Doesnt matter if you have HSK 6 Chinese skills you won't get in the door for the final interview. They teach you the languages you need for your posting once you are selected for the service.

It's only difficult because I'm red-pilled and I hate all the jews, illegals, and homeless people leeching off the system. Going to apply for anesthesia school in 1-2 years to make the real money though. Life is good for now.

I just looked it up, you get a boost to your oral interview score and test score, not quite a hiring preference. Semantics though. Regardless good luck. Visiting China and living in China are two entirely different beasts. Youl see what I mean. As an example, you can try and rationalize living in the pollution but good luck keeping that attitude when the cloud descends blocks the sun for days and it hurts to breath.
>>76557914
hey m8, sorry i was doing something else.
warwick is fine, what did you study? make sure you go hard as a motherfucker and ace ur masters cuz that will really help. i ask re your undergrad subject as that will determine whether you have to do a GDL before the LPC.
which can be better or worse depending on how you do ... but yeah, you sound like youre off to a solid start. as for TC contracts, u have to start busting out vac scheme apps like a bitch. summer winter spring anythign u can get. literally they take around 40% to sometimes 90% from the vac schemes so its really important to get one
>>76560617

i was pretty young when i was a dishwasher, all the waitresses were college girls and i couldnt compete. one of the cook's girlfriends showed me her tits when we were drinking one night. she was quite large, and the older cooks were laughing at my facial expressions. apparently i was awe struck and confused

No problem bro
My undergrad was largely commercial law specialised, but I was offered modules from intellectual property law in my second year. They seemed easier, but I feel that's more of a 'dead-end' specialisation in terms of the job market
TC contracts shouldn't be too hard to score, wish I'd taken some when I was at college now, I've never realised how starting that young could have helped...

I'd only consider China long term if I was able to score a university faculty position. When I go back to the US, I'll decide whether to get a TESOL or a Foreign Service masters. I'm leaning towards TESOL because I can get a teaching assistantship and not pay for the degree, and I can still take the FS test anyway, but still have decedent employment options in education in the States.

1 year 1 month in here
I'm 22. Still have plenty of time left in my life. I searched and did interviews for the first 3-6 months. I decided to take time off and develop.
My fucking god have I fixed so much in my life in such a short time. Money doesn't solve everything.
Now I'm really interested in my career again. I had extreme depression after I graduated. I couldn't trust anyone. I saw that I was going to be taken advantage of.

was it an LLB degree? otherwise you will have to do the GDL. i wouldn't worry about specialisation yet since its all mickey mouse shit anyway, but its a talking point if nothin else.
they take two years in advance so yeah its a fucekd system that u gotta jump the gun
tc contracts pretty difficult, at least in london for a big firm... if you are looking to work regionally or high street, then its a whole different discussion.
>>76551981

Literally me.
>>76562165
It was LLB (hons), yeah. My bad, I should have mentioned that. It's good to hear I might not have to do the GDL in that case
Two years in advance, blimey. I'm surprised to hear that the system is so fucked, this will be a tough market to crack
Are applying for TC contracts in high street firms useful if you want to apply to a bigger firm in London?

No they aren't unless you luck out (unlikely) and you work with a guy who worked and still has pull there (even more unlikely if they've left).
Apply for silver circle. It's just as good as magic. Travers rejected me but they're probably the best firm around, breaks me I didn't make the cut past second interview.

>>76562338
yeah then its straight LPC then TC. Benefit of a TC in most firms is that theyll pay for your LPC course, which is not a small amount of cash, as well as give u a maintenance grant before they put you on the IV and drip u dry.
as for TCs, it depends on what career u envision for urself. but generally, someone from a big firm can move to a smaller one almost at any time, but its really difficult to go from a small backwater firm to the big leagues. so general rule of thumb is always to qualify in the biggest firm u can manage, and then assess ur situation at that point.
there's no point applying for training contracts in some fuck off high street firm if ur dream is to move into the city and go big. not all high street firms will even offer TCs, and if they do, itll be like 1-4 trainees that make it hard to get in its own way.
>>76562557
what this guy said (sorry about travers smith bro, they are cunts, they rejected my GF as well although she ended up at a better firm).
silver and magic will both work, rule of thumb being anything in top 50 will generally do. if ur grades are sick, and u are good with words and have good exp, also try for US firms cuz they will pay a lot more. but they will kill your soul for two years, but yeah.

Cheers man, really useful information, made sure to note it down.
Glad to hear that TCs with most firms pay off your LPC, should help to cut down the debt (which I'm paying off very slowly with some work on the side)
Yeah, I'll see if I can get some work experience or something with my local high street firms if that's valuable in any way. I'll hit up the Silver Circle first, perhaps apply for Herbert Smith first and work down the list?
Could transfer to a US firm if I really wanted to go live in Burgerville, but what's so soul crushing about working for 'em? Haven't done any research into US firms at all, really

herbies is literally the worst. unless you're posh as fuck, white british, enjoy a spot of polo from time to time at the country club, its difficult to get in. same with the 'traditional' english ones like ashursts (less so), and slaughter & mays (equally hard if not harder)
yeah jst go for any exp, but the king of exp will be a vac scheme at one of the big leagues, even if not in london.
us firms are intense, as in guaranteed all nighters once a week, average two or three (Depending on seat). you need to balance the number of apps that u do wiht the intensive research.
i know some HR people and they say that they literally look for any reason to reject u, since they have so many apps. if they can spot that what u said can be said for any other firm by replacing name, its thrown out.
i helped write my girlfriend's application, and she went balls deep, like talking about a particular case that one of their partners did in this one deal, which helped change the legal industry in that sector etc, oits all bullshit but it shows that u went IN on the research. otherwise its all moot cuz its 10,000 other student saying the same shit
US firms. lol u wont go home or have a functional life, although people enjoy that (with copious amounts of cocaine)

This one, as I had to drop out of college for not affording it and can't stand being stuck at home with my parents (Job doesn't pay enough to move out, and it's godawful anyway so I dropped from 45 hours a week to like 4 a month).
I'm returning to school now, but I don't think it'll solve anything. I need to be away from my family and just in an environment that promotes getting shit done, be that college, a trade, or picking up odd jobs with other bums or some shit. I need friends and social interaction, but I've fallen off the social market getting screwed out of financial aid, having my parents ruin my credit, and not knowing what to do with myself.

Good, I got a job at a CBS tv station and now I live on my own. Hours are night but it's full time with benefits so hey I can't complain.
I don't know what I'm going to do. I have a good internship right now ($23/hour as a tax intern), but I'm worried that all jobs will be automated within 10 years. I'd probably kill myself if that happened. I plan on becoming a CPA.
