You don't sit for that long.

A working day is 8 hours usually and you can get up and walk around or take breaks.

You can also go to the gym after work, not tired from your physical job all day.

>staring at an object at a fixed distance from your face causes blindness (doesn't have to be a screen, could just as easily be a book or whatever)

There is no evidence to suggest this is the case, unless you're overly straining your eyes by looking at small font or something.

Yep old school jobs are more and more popular here too.
Too many people do long intellectual studies, which give them no job no money no nothing.

Psychology, art, history, sociology ... It's interesting but fucking worthless.

I'm doing cooking, hopefully it works out. Decently paid, lots of perspectives in life such as opening a restaurant, enjoyable (for me), quite useful life skill too.
It's also a prestigious thing to be a great chef imo. Honestly i think its a worthwhile goal.

Good luck building things anon !

Misnomer. You still pay but it's a shit ton cheaper than regular university. Typically around $700 a semester if you're pay in state tuition. You take you're general ed classes and if all goes right, you're out by two years and you transfer to a real university.

>>
>>60466958
You're doing it wrong then. My CC had an electrical engineering associates program which is ABET accredited. I'm going to graduate in one more semester and I'll be eligible for loads of electrical technician jobs. A friend of my in the same program just got hired to a company to assist in designing high voltage transformers and rectifiers. $45k/year starting. Some graduates are now making six figures. There are a few companies I will be putting in applications to shortly. Best thing is a lot of companies will pay for you to finish your bachelors if you stick with them for a few years.

I will graduate debt free and can potentially complete my undergrad with zero debt as well. I feel like I broke the system.

I know not all community colleges have good technical programs but I'd get in on that shit if yours does. Even if you want to get a different degree later the right associates degree can pay the bills.

But look at the programs in your area and the job opportunities as well before deciding.

Not trying to claim anything is better than anything else but really college IS much easier and simpler than working even your first career job.

Hell it's easier than going through multiple stages of interviews and sweating bullets through it all.

I agree with that. It's much easier to read about psych in a book than talking to a suicidal irl.

Is working at a PE firm what you want to do? Or do you see it as a stepping stone for something else? What's the environment like at work? I mean, I know I'm biased in healthcare but I can't draw a good picture in my mind of a workplace where everyone is trying to rip each other apart, while still functioning as a unit. It sounds pretty fascinating actually. A struggle where everyone has to smile. Also, are men the more competitive ones out there? Are the women typically softer and less competitive?

Women are pretty much non-existent in Finance, but there are some real hardworkers and go-getters out there.
