I chose the wrong direction in life and am over 30.
I fell for the STEM meme but should have been an artist.
This is the end.
i fell for the stem meme too
i work an office job and i dont have a gf
At least you didn't fell for the "don't go to college" meme like I did.
>>29513303
At least you didn't fall for the "go to college" meme like I did
>Fell for STEM
>Got degree
>Been NEET for last 5 years
>Had to move back in with parents
>>29513258
Why don't you round things off with a nice helping of rubber bands?
>>29513258
I fell for the "follow your dreams meme". Now I'm approaching my 30's and still working in retail.Seriously thinking about
going back to college to get a non-shit degree.
im at the end of my comp sci degree, ive fallen for all the memes.
how the fuck do i go on im 21 what do i do
Be an artist you cuck
>>29513258
Being an artist only works today if your art is also practical.
I know a kid who used to make beads in HS art class on the glass torches, now he sells his bongs for $1000+
>>29513513
In this case adding another meme can balance out the first. Get an MBA. Starting salary is over $100k if you go to a top 20 school.
>go to a top 20 school
kek I'd get a job doing political science in a top 20 school
>uni starts this fall
>went with a finance BBA
>trying to change it to CompSci in the hopes I become a game designer
Feels good, man.
>>29513633
>a game designer
meme job
>>29513258
Become the next Hitler.
>>29513661
meme job where you're surrounded by other obnoxious losers
enjoy the view in the mirror
>>29513661
enjoy going back to doing something else in 5-10y when the labor markets flooded with idiots wanting to be game devs
>>29513258
>tfw want to fall for thepsychologymeme
>tfw absolutely fucked, since the field is used by a bunch of fucksit won't be too bad if I go for a masters... right? Not like I can get a job right now anyway...
>>29513867
Just stop.
Do pediatrics or someshit.
Psychology is fuked. Every roastie with a superiority complex does that degree.
How do robots view being a musician?
>make music for wannabe indie devs
>make music for wannabe film makers
>make music for wannabe animators
>make music for wannabe rappers
>make music for wannabe DJs
>>29513924
Not working bullshit, I meant I would go for the degree and probably do research or some shit. Granted the field in colleges these days is mostly "muh feels", but still.I'm undeclared and it's one of the last things I am trying
>>29513982
>be you after degree/masters/phd done
>gazillion fags like you
>most have extracurricular
>go feed the refugees on weekends
>now only black trans lesbians who speak 5 languages and have your degree get the job
you get the idea
I actually really like psychology because it's relevant to fintech, which what I want to do
>mfw fintech meme is same shit different sauce
>mfw just end up being software engineer/financial advisor
just have a plan b if you really want to do something very competitive
>>29513258
Same here senpai, except that I fell for the NEET meme and then one day I woke up and was the 30 year old uncle who still lives at grandma and grandpa's place and has absolutely nothing to show for it.
Now that I woke up from this bad dream I got to bee myself and make my dreams of becoming a musician/producer happen one step at a time. Step one is becoming a wagecuck again and setting up a vigorous studying/practicing regime.
>>29513939
Hi, same boat as you senpai.
All I can say is don't limit yourself. Nothing makes me sadder than seeing talented musicians who limit themselves to just one niche genre. I want to make everything from Black Metal to EDM to rap to country to idol j-pop to movie soundtracks. My ultimate dream would be to change pop music into something more complex than just the same 4 chords.
I've spent like 1/3 of my life complaining about how pop music sucks these days, I should do something about it.
>>29513924
Fuck, that is so true.
I've never met a stable, well-adjusted woman who studied psychology. It was always women with crippling emotional issues who couldn't keep their legs closed long enough to think straight.
>inb4 "well-adjusted women don't exist"
It's like they never realized that they didn't want to STUDY to become a psychologist. They wanted to SEE a psychologist.
>>29514079
>I've spent like 1/3 of my life complaining about how pop music sucks these days, I should do something about it.
Stop complaining and make more music.
I wish I still had the energy to do music all day. Once my head locks up I can't do anything anymore. I've considered taking drugs to overcome this problem so I could write all day just like before.
To get back at what you said. I usually don't complain about other music unless I get forced to listen to something in one way or another. Otherwise I'm just making songs and I would advice you'd do the same.
You won't get any further by just complaining anon.
>>29514079
>Same 4 chords
Did you just fall for the 4 chords meme? You do know there's like 7 chords in a key in western music.
I'd say pop music is the best it's ever been, way more interesting then anything guitar bands have done for the past 20 years. Bands like Radiohead realized being a straight guitar band was shitty a long time ago.
>>29514086
yup. Feel like their thought process is
>Oh, psych, that seems easy
>I can understand everything wrong with people and help them ^u^
>All while also learning about if there is anything wrong with me!
Fucking degenerates.
As for >>29513982, if I remember right from what my last roommate said, most of the psych cancer ends up going away once you are done with undergrad work. Not all of it, but a large amount of it does go away, especially since most of them don't have what it takes for post-grad shitdepending on the school of course
Either way, get a plan B
>>29513258
You can still become an artist
No one except yourself is stopping you
>>29514187
don't take this normie's bait
>>29514163
Exactly.
Although my biggest problem isn't that I sit around complaining about Drake or Bieber or whatever, it's that I sit around all day POSTING HERE instead of practising the piano & other instruments or working in FL.
Tomorrow. For real. 100%. No more faffing about.
>>29514216
>implying Hotline Bling isn't awesome
I bet you even think the Beatles are the best thing ever
>>29514187
>Pop music
>Radiohead
no, it's not 1998 anymore.
>>29514231
The Beatles are just as overrated and overplayed as Drake if not more.
Besides:
>You used to call me on my cell phone
>Late night when you need my love
>Call me on my cell phone
>Late night when you need my love
>I know when that hotline bling
>That can only mean one thing
>I know when that hotline bling
>That can only mean one thing
I took three geniuses to co-write that nursery rhyme.
>>29514216
If I'm able to, I'm making music. It's way more enjoyable than being here, playing games, watching anime, or anything really. I even used to put a single anime episode on hold for a week because I got an idea mid episode and wanted to put it down.
I just feel like it doesn't really matter anymore though.
>>29514187
>Did you just fall for the 4 chords meme? You do know there's like 7 chords in a key in western music.
>I can play chords on guitar I'm a musician XD
>>29514216
You are litterally me man, the problem is that I shitpost until 5am then I wake up at 3pm so I don't have energy to practice on FL or the piano, so I start shitposting again at 4 until 5 again.
feels bad tbqh
>>29513258
>should have been an artist
holy shit just buy some paper and 4B pencils and go to /ic/
drawing is the cheapest fucking hobby you can have
>>29514202
The lead singer of Iron Maiden was an airline pilot.
Graham Chapman from Monty Python was almost a doctor.
Andy Weir used to be a programmer.
>>29514336
kek we almost have the same schedule, for me it's 3-4AM and then 1PM.
My routine is always shitposting until 1am and then finish off with a bit of video games and youtube, so since it's 10 to 12 here I'm going to break the habit by making this my last post.
I'm going to make it happen tomorrow, starting now, hopefully you can too.
>>29514326
>I just feel like it doesn't really matter anymore though.
Do you put your music out there? Music helped me get through the shittiest of shit times in my life. Complete strangers' who are relatively unknown artists helped me turn my life around, you have the same potential as well.

>>29513258
This.
The guitarist for Queen was about to complete a PhD in astrophysics in 1974 before focusing on his music, he had two research papers co-authored at the time.
He then re-applied for his PhD and graduated 38 years later at 61 years old.
...and I'm sitting here wearing the same clothes as last week...
>>29514414
I wasn't talking about music when I said it doesn't seem to matter anymore. Everything is just a bother and everyone just wants to see you fail even though they say the opposite. It makes me physically ill.
>>29514515
No one cares if you're popular as long as you don't make any money.
Seeing someone make a living from their dream makes people want to commit sudoku
>>29514839
I still feel that people think I'm talking about music. This has nothing to do with music. Everyone just hates you and is out to hurt you or hinder you in any way they can in your life.

>>29513258
Falling for the STEM meme is much better than falling for the ART meme.
You don't need to go to college for art or music. You can still have a successful career in these fields without education. You NEED a stem education. Art and music are not profitable these days anyways. I'm saying this as a professional classical guitarist. I wouldn't suggest anybody do it, it's not even that much fun.
>>29514491
This was at a time that music was an actually profitable field. Today, there are a million incredible albums online for free. People write and record awesome albums and post them online all the time.
I just wish I had a passion for business or finance.
Is there any way to win harder at life?
