Fit careers

I work in operations for a small private equity group. Most days I work 9AM - 3PM and take a 1-2 hour lunch break during that time. It's very laid back. I can eat in my office, I have a mini fridge and a microwave. I only have to "work" when things pop up, so I also have a lot of free time at the office which is normally spent freelancing for extra cash, stretching, doing push ups, or generally killing time on the computer.

Hope to quit within 2 years and live off of interest, dividends and rental income.

I got a quick career question.

Is it worth it to quit your current well paying job thats also very stressful and depressing and go somewhere else even though you'll get paid much less?

I work as a speculator/economic consultant for private companies.In some times of the year i work 12 hours a day 6/7 i lose alot of gains during periods like that.....

>mail clerk
>Walking around the office all day, have to move fuck loads of mail all week even on off days
Can't wait to leave this shithole

>army (not US)

>nope, current operation is quite chill, plenty of time to go to the gym

pay and benefits aren't bad at least though.

Why aren't you a letter carrier phaggot

>dem calf gains

Nope, you will get paid less, and probably get much worse colleges

>Search Engine Optimization
Schedule is bonkers, which definitely throws a wrench in a routine. Running path right outside of the office is good for before work, but gym is JUST far enough away to be a hassle.

I have been trading for the past 6 months. I have failed many times but every time I get back up with more knowledge than the last time.

How do I go about getting a job at a firm with only a high school diploma?

I go to college full time and work at Bloomingdales about 20 hours a week.

I just lift to stay in shape at this point. I go to the gym about 4 days a week and I just make sure I stay on top of my cooking, if not I just eat somewhere healthy. I'm currently taking a 4 week trigonometry class right now and I literally get about 7 hours worth of homework a day so that has been fucking me up pretty hard desu.

By taking courses and internships
What the hell kinda question is this?

Neet is life.
What the fuck happened to this board? Bunch a normies. No wonder discussion has gone to shit.

>trig class
>an entire class devoted to trigonometry
>at a college

The American education system, everyone.

I'm a college professor. Most of my classes are 9-5, so I do most of my training after 2100.

Not me, but I'd recommend studying for an actual qualification that has merit. Do you want to work in FX for a large firm, or trade for-profit on the side?

Have you ever considered going to college?

>probably get much worse colleges

Do not do a shitty business admin major. It's a waste of a degree. If you want get a business education but actually make yourself smarter and more valuable, major in economics or finance. Do something that is really math heavy. Econ is both heavy on math and heavy on the critical thinking. Business admin is neiter of those. That's why business admin majors always consistently score lowest on the gmat (MBA school test) and the lsat (law school test). Most top CEOs are Econ majors anyway. Econ and finance are way harder but you will be better off because of it. Econ is basically an applied math degree with an emphasis in business.

Fuck any former students?

I'd like to work in Forex for a large firm till I gain enough capital and experience to successfully trade on the side for myself.

I've always wanted to be that guy that makes it without going to college

It's a 3 unit class (which is small) and it's 4 weeks. It's a requirement to get into calculus so it doesn't really count. More for prep if you didn't test into calculus. I was a shit student in high school so I am paying for my past mistakes now.

>Spend my day lifting furniture

Totally. Leaves me tired as hell. Had to stop doing compound lifts because I couldn't do them any more after a long day of hauling shit around.

I don't have a lot of free time to eat either.

If I wasn't getting paid about 20 Euros per hour I would have quit.

A lot of FX in large firms, particularly hedge funds, is highly algo based due to the liquidity and the ease of execution.

I manage / trade with corporate client positions so it's not the same, but I do have a degree and some side qualifications.

Incredibly difficult to get your foot in the door at a large firm without at least a degree.

College will take you years with a lot of non-relevant stuff to do too.
Not gonna pretend it's not the better education and overall choice but for you courses and edu and then getting job experience seems more fitting.

Bruh, in what kind of shithole are you living where 20 Euros/h is a lot?

Explosives technician in the Air Force. I work retarded hours so I'm always too exhausted to be motivated to lift. So yes it fucks with my gains.

>able bodied seaman

its 3 weeks on/3 weeks off work, I see better gains when I'm on the boat than I do off it (I still work out 7 days a week on my off time).

I've always been told that you can't learn this shit in College and that getting a mentor to believe in you is the best way to make it in investing. I was planning on walking into every investment banking place I can find and try to sell myself.

I'll look into community college tho user, thanks

well in that case, I wish you all the best. We all had to start somewhere. I remember I had a really hard time understanding limits (which you'll be introduced to very soon if you're going into calc) and now I'm in graduate theoretical physics. There's no shame in not knowing, only in not trying.

>This thread again

Go to /soc/ you fucking grandpas Jesus Christ

It's a lot for manual labor. If I were qualified to do something else, I would do it.

Most other jobs around here pay way less.

Also, I would go as far as to say that 20 Euros/hr would be a lot for more than half the countries in EU.

Most people who work on the floor for bulge-brackets have strong degrees + MBA / CFA level qualifications.

It's hard to simply sell yourself like that these days.

You could always look into a job in the back office like clearing trades and then trade yourself on the side. Would be good exposure / experience.

Part time camwhore. I don't get on much, but since I sell my used underwear, I do make a pretty good amount of money.

I'm also a part time bartender and a part time student. I usually have a pretty goo amount of time to lift, so life is bretty good.

>Library supervisor (part-time)
>No, because I get to rest at my desk for hours after lifting

The pay is okay, I don't know bout benefits though
Been considering that, I heard mail carriers make good money

What kind of engineer are you?

Do you see yourself carrying on in your current job for another 5 years? If not why wait.

Thanks man. Yeah trig isn't so bad. I'm happy I took college algebra first because a lot of the stuff I learned in there really helped with what I'm learning in trig right now. I just need to work on memorizing identities and the unit circle right now

Software developer, 95K, 34 years old

WFH with a weight room in my building so I can lift during lunch or whenever I feel like it. Starting to put together a home gym so I can join home gym masterace.

What bases you been stationed at?

Studied Mechanical, right now I'm working in aerospace.

yes

Thats what I'm doing, money isn't everything when you can have a happier work/life balance but 20-30k less

From someone who's been through calc 1-3, complex analysis, applications of calc (fourier analysis, laplace transforms etc.) diff eqs, partial diff eqs, statistics, linear algebra, numerical analysis, abstract algebra and probably some more that I can't think of right now:

GET AUTISTICALLY GOOD AT ALGEBRA (and trig but mostly ALGEBRA)
It's gonna help you so much in calc 1 and make the whole course so much easier, which in turn makes everything that comes after easier.

Fucking nothing at age 25. Got a band that I put most of my time in and did a shit ton of freelance work in video editing and camera work. No idea how to find a proper job/trade tho.

I hear calc is 2/3 college algebra and 1/3 trig. Honestly trig is pretty confusing for me and algebra makes much more sense. It's probably because I've never taken a geometry class. Thanks for the advice by the way I'll take whatever I can get because I want an A in all my math classes.

>studying applied math, graduate level
>have also created my own company that's basically an app and a website that I run all by myself
>am also quite invested (pun intended) in the stock market and spend quite a bit of time researching stocks, building trading algorithms (where the math and programming background sure comes in handy) and trading in general.
>I don't have much free time in general but I still am able to lift hard 3 times a week and do cardio twice a week. Also I walk at least an hour every day.

Another question also. which route would you say is better to prepare someone for taking calc: trig+college algebra or trig+precalc? I hear precalc is just a hybrid of trig and college algebra with some intro to derivatives and integrals.

I guess I'll ask you this too

I'd say calculus is about 3/10 algebra, 2/10 trig and the rest is, well, calculus. There are some ideas (especially those concerning limits, infinities and infinitesimals which will be used to define the derivative and the integral) that you just can't formulate outside of calculus because they in fact *are* calculus at it's most fundamental.

Also if you have any questions about trig I can answer them real quick for you if you like, I'm done studying for my exams for today so I've got some time before going to sleep

>postman (aka mailman)
>earn £20-30k per year depending how much overtime I choose to do
>literally getting paid to do LISS cardio

Its fantastic for staying lean. Its amazing for calf gains, but its shit for quad gains, my legs have lost several inches since I started the job a few years ago despite training them harder than ever to try and fight it.

To anyone in the UK who has no prospects, I seriously recommend Royal Mail, its one of the highest paying non skilled jobs there is.
Zero take-home stress, limitless overtime opportunity and most of the day you're by yourself.
Yeah I'll never earn enough to drive a supercar or live in a mansion, but I don't care. The stress that comes with earning that much for the majority of people doesn't seem worth it. And I hate being in cities for more than a few days at a time. Living in one would suck.

I'd probably do trig+precalc and then do some more algebra in your own time.

Elementary school teacher here.
If you start teaching young, the money really isn't that bad, mainly because you start with decent pay right from the start. I began teaching two years ago at $47,500 a year- I was hired before I graduated.

Yes it isn't fuck you money, but it is reliable, rewarding work that gives me summers off, ok insurance, etc.

high school money is better money thatn ec-6, too.

I'm and I kinda envy you

What sort of video editing?

Man my class is so fast paced. The last section we went over is the Pythagorean identities and knowing how to spot them in an equation. I got so used to using the unit circle also that I forgot how to find the sin/cos of an angle without knowing the values of legs or the hyp and without using a calculator.

I wanted to be a postman when I was younger. Got much in the way of advancement opportunities or is the management side quite separate from the postie side?

Scratch the last part. But what did you do to memorize all the Pythagorean identities? The unit circle was pretty self explanatory. I guess a better question would be what are some tips you could give me for making it through trig. There are so many instances where I overlook a certain value that I can swap for an identity, formulas, or sin/cos/tan whatever and I miss them because we're learning so much new shit at once idk where to even start.

Work in a farm, my forearms gets pretty much fucked from carring around stuffs, back get sore but few hours rest and it's fine. i work 4 to 12 hours but i still manage to train at least 1 hour home or gym.

as far as pythagoran identities go just remember that any line from the center of the unit circle out to the circle itself will (by definition have radius equal to one). If you draw the x and y components of the radius (that is the horizontal and vertical line, respectively) you have a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse equal to one, and by the pythagorean theorem (a^2+b^2=c^2) you have sin^2+cos^2=1 because the legs, also by definition, is the sine and cosine.

Not sure if you already knew this but if you didn't, it's the way I remember sin^2+cos^2=1 and the way you understand why it's true as well. Any other pythagorean identity can be deduced from sin^2+cos^2=1 using relationships between sin, cos, tan, sec, cot and csc

Oh no, management are pretty much entirely brought up from within the business.

They try to bring in graduates and shit every so often to manage delivery offices, but they never last long due to not having a clue how to manage a workforce who operate on goodwill (because the amount of mail and parcels is always too much to do within the contracted hours each office is given for its staff, which is retarded, but upper management seem to think somehow things will change)

The opportunities for advancement in Royal Mail are probably one of the best you can find in any company. I will probably consider it, the only thing that worries me is that everyone who steps up to management from postman, ends up gaining like 10kg of fat due to their TDEE dropping like 1500kcal lower.

Ok so here's all you need to remember: sin^2+cos^2=1.

Also, tan, cot, sec and csc are all just different combinations of sin and cos, so those are really the only ones you need to know.

tan = sin/cos
sec = 1/cos
csc = 1/sin
cot = 1/tan = cos/sin

Mostly student films, fashion ads and some political stuff - anything I could get my hands on. Also, art stuff - you'd be surprised how many 'artists' don't lift a finger and don't think of a single thing themselves.

>map golf courses
>travel every other week(week off/on)
>time zones fuck up sleep
>walk 15 miles average a day
>lift at the hotel
>eat fancy food for macros and snacks on the road

It can be a bitch, there's a lot of compromising but atleast my leg game is on point.

Work in a supermarket whilst I study. Pretty good actually as I get to lift heavy shit all day.

A 4 week class implies he's going only a couple days a week, if you were back on a 5 day highschool schedule it wouldn't even cover half a semester. Are you fucking stupid?

Did you have any kind of formal training? Or is it just get a camera and start filming stuff? It something I'm really interested in but I wouldn't have a clue where to begin.

Police Officer
My job inspires me to keep fit

also, in general, never try to memorize things in mathematics. Only the most absolute basic things (although you should understand why those are true as well). Memorizing won't work in the long run and you'll waste your time. Instead, try to really understand why things are true. That way, if you don't remember something, you can deduce it on the spot from the basics and applying, well, maths to it.

If you try to memorize you will never understand or enjoy math and you'll never be good at it.

How do you get a job like this?

What about night time work? 1-2 days a week -would be nice

I have other job though which pays well just looking for a reason to get out the house

What is this picture from

Im attempting to be a police man officer

...

>polymer technologist
>nah more than that i got free gym membership bro

Fight club

You best be joking mate

super leuk

>How do you get a job like this?
Depends, I live in the UK so in student-y towns supermarkets tend to always offer the most flexible hours to accomodate you. Just hand in some CVs to Sainsbury's, Morrisons, ASDA or wherever. Pretty good for lifting as I work in the home and leisure section so my entire day is spent lifting barbecues, trampolines, patio sets, boxes full of stock etc.

I work at a supplement store
No but it can fuck up my economy due to the bars I might buy for some quick protein

at which company bro?

>work at a fucking cell phone store in a shopping mall
>the mall is slowly shutting down
>less and less people visit each day
>I am fat as fuck and the joke of the store
>the other employees don't do any work because we don't get customers
>instead they spend the entire day mocking me
>call me 'Reception Blocker' because I am so fat I block all phone reception in the store hahahaha
>constantly take the dislplay models and pretend to be calling on them
>but HAHAHAH the call fails and they blame me for being fat
>we get maybe 7 customers a day at most now
>whenever a customer comes co-workers use this as an excuse to make fun of me
>they make jokes like 'shopping malls are failing because they have human walls inside trading' then point at me
>customers laugh and sometimes join in the fun
>tfw I have shit hours and can't get to the gym often
>best cardio I get is jogging home
>if co-workers drive past as I jog home I can expect hours of mocking to follow

I can't wait for this place to collapse

Yeah I already learned the main one so on the last test I took I had to derive the identities for tan/csc etc by dividing the main identity by sin/cos but I was fucked on one of the questions that was along the lines of something = 8costhetasin^2theta and it said to rewrite the equation in terms of cosine and I was stumped.

Also thank you guys for the replies

This. I do a business course and I specialise in econ and finance. I went to uni with maths being one of my weakest points. Now I'm better at maths than most people I know.

Here are a couple similar questions from the book.

If one of you could explain #60 I will love you forever.

>Barbecues
You mean grills faggot. Unless you are lifting whole hogs around the store. Damn, Brits are as bad as west coast Americans when it comes to the use of the word Barbecue.

I'm just bustin your balls though. I knew what you meant.

They're happy working in retail at a failing mall and you're not, they're still gonna be there in 10 years time and your not. You'll be fine.

>drive trains all day
>sit down all day
>best job in the world
>gains destroyed

I work washing dishes at a restaurant. I am a first year university student, and everyone else there is like 27 years old and dreaming about writing a book. The female waiters dont even bother speaking to me, cause in their minds I might be below them, but they are the ones stuck in that restaurant. I always wear the worst clothes for that job, so on my last day I can walk out with my dick hard.

Very small Dutch firm which you haven't heard of. We have a 15 people staff.
