Life is not a linear RPG, you need to go and actually do shit. Think outside of the box.
Highschool->College->University->Awesome Job
These are not stages of a game that you can complete and, as a reward upon "leveling up", you get put into the next one with everything given to you on a silver platter.
Fucking meet people, and then use these connections as a stepping stone to climb higher.
You need to get off your imaginary rails and blaze your own trail, you shitlord.

Been like this all fortnight. Don't get me wrong, these are shit jobs that don't pay very well, but I have the luxury of picking the cosiest. I'll go with whichever one involves the shortest commute and involves the least amount of grunt work.

Anyone ever done the math, like how many history majors they pumped out in comparison to those sorts of positions available in the current free market? Probably would have been better off being a theologian.

I worked with a history major once, in the tree service business, he was clearing 50k a year though, in reasonable shape, no neck beard, he was fairly red-pilled actually kek. A bit of a tyrant but we assumed this went with his privileged status so mostly ignored it.

Tons of fitness personalities do this nowadays, actually. If you ever check facebook pages for people like Joey Gloor or Simeon Panda, every other post is "get ripped, buy my personalized program".

NASM and similar certs are actually easy money though, and I plan on getting that or NSCA when I'm done my associates at the end of the year. A co-worker of mine at the gym I worked at has his program accredited by NASM and he makes way more $ just for that fact alone. If fitness is your thing, there's many avenues for making money in it.

1. You cannot get a master degree in a college. Degrees are attained in a university, diplomas are attained in a college.

2. History is a very specific field with much graduates and only little jobs. Then there is also the fact a diploma like history does not prove your level of intelligence and persistence like a diploma in engineering or mathematics would.

3. You should apply for jobs that require experience, despite having no experience. Either lie and make up your experience ( most don't ever check ) or make your application good enough that the lack of experience does not matter.

If you like History I'd say do History with Concurrent for teaching as it would give you a good back up career, at least if your in Canada.
If your American do a STEM, preferably engineering, unless you suck at science or math.

Thanks, modern British education. I know I'm still young and can turn it around, but I feel like I've wasted so much time thanks to this push to get everyone into university. At least I can always teach and leach off the state like most of the country.

that's because a high school dropout with an A+ certification has about 4 times your knowledge about actually working on computer hardware.

tiarawhy.com for my stuff. And that's pretty much why I dropped out, I started looking at interships and talking to those with years in the field and it was some grim stuff. Without going for a ph.d the best i could hope for out of college was a sub teacher group or going for certifications to be a lab tech.

>A+ cert
>4 times my knowledge
top lel

I still find it absurd though that a college degree isn't worth shit to many employers. Its as if no one is willing to train an employee these days, and expects them to come with years worth of experience straight out of college. My 3 months of volunteering in an IT department won't get me any job despite there being nothing left to experience in that position.

If I had the cash, I could get an A+ cert next week if I had to. But its kinda hard to get cash when literally no one is willing to hire you.

>International central banks and monetary funds "print" money as much as they want. Most of it is digital now anyway. Debt slaves for life.
>For almost every other human activity they want currency, from eating and drinking to clothing oneself and finding a partner. Religion came from innate spirituality and patriotism from the tribe, but money they invented themselves- the most fantastic and effective of all their tools of domestication. They have convinced the slaves that money actually has some intrinsic value, since at some point in the past it actually did. Once they were finally able to disconnect money completely from anything other than their computers, they finally took complete control, locked the last gate and electrified all the fences. They ingeniously print it up out of the nothing and loan it with interest in order for 18-year-olds to spend four years drinking and memorizing propaganda as they begin a financial indebtedness that will most likely never end.
>By the time the typical American is thirty the debt is mounted so high that they abandon any hope of ever being free of it and embrace their mortgages, credit cards, student loans and car loans as gifts from a sugar daddy. What they rarely asks themselves is why they must work to make money while banks can simply create it with a few key strokes. If they printed out notes on their HP’s and loaned them with interest to their neighbors, they would wind up in a penitentiary, but not our friends on Wall Street- they do just that and wind up pulling the strings in the White House. The genius of the money scam is how obvious it is. When people are told that banks create money out of nothing and are paid interest for it the good folks are left incredulous.
