What is the Veeky Forums approved job?
I'm a former software developer ( C++ hi load shit etc ) and I hate programming and IT want to start my own business but I need a starting capital to do this so I'm trying to get a manager job in IT, I think it's more a manly job than soyboy programmer.
What do you do and what would you want to do?

Yeah clicking on buttons is a lot manly than creating something....

Anyway, I work in private equity. Everyone around me is the HBS alpha male type. It gets pretty old.
Team up with some graphic designer, make a shitty app for ios, swarm it with ads, profit
I work overnight at UPS loading trucks and slinging boxes around. I handle about a thousand packages a day ranging from 1-150 pounds. It's devastating for my gains and sometimes I'm too sore to hit the gym. It's got decent benefits though with the union and hopefully by next peak season I'll be a driver making 19/h.
Nah I hate coding and all this computer shit. Don't even want to touch it anymore.
I've heard driving for UPS is miserable.
Pros of the job
>Base salary and bonus is nice
>Only work with smart people
>Live in a comfortable liberal elite bubble
>Good business school placement
Cons
>Up to 80+ hours/week
>Hard to stand out because everyone is smart and working all the time
>All free time M-F is in the gym or sleeping
>Very stressful during deal execution
I'm a current software developer, and it's basically my dream job.
I work at home, which is more than awesome.
I get paid a good amount, and live in a low cost city so I feel rich.
I get to work nights (sounds bad but is actually great because I can goto the gym at 3am and be all alone).
My coworkers are friendly and laid back.
Work isn't hard, isn't easy, is just right and enjoyable.
I'm working in a field I have an interest in, so it feels like I'm working at nintendo.
And there's a good chance I'll make a mint if I play my cards right because I'm paid in assets that are likely to appreciate significantly in the near future.
Sales
My older coworker makes me go with him to visits to some of his younger client companies to show me off as eye candy as he seals the next sale
>assets likely to appreciate
So... equity? Or what?
>creating something
Yeah software engineering is a bastion of creativity. If you can make some shitty app in Android you're right up there with Warhol basically.
probably options. its become pretty popular to pay at least part in stock
I get paid in crypto.
To nocoiners this probably sounds mad, but the gods of crypto have treated me _extremely_ well in the past so I have faith.
thats the kind of job that makes you age 3x faster. This is the anti-Veeky Forums job
Good luck with that. Do realize though thatinstitutional investors have bought into crypto (this should give you pause) and the central premise of non-regulation by government entities has been challenged (e.g., South Korea). Otherwise hey, glad it’s working out for you, though I’d gun for those options over crypto. Much more stable long term if your company isn’t a hot pile of shit.
Is crypto actually being used by anyone anywhere as a form of actual currency or is it being kept as a way to sucker people into playing a secondary stockmarket.
I know that police and certain parties are outright destroying any and all attempts at using crypto IRL but I'm curious about online.
If you want to buy drugs or other illegal goods online you need to use crypto, so it's not all speculation.
The token that I'm betting on will be useful for buying things and fueling a decentralised (legal, or at least grey area) marketplace akin to eBay, except with a whole bunch of privacy benefits.
Basically, I'm betting on the fact that people out there with crypto are interested in buying more than just weed.
My reasoning is that if there's guys like satoshi out there with gorrillians of BTC that don't want to show their face and don't want to pay tax this kind of marketplace for legal and grey area goods will be a great way for them to use their crypto for day to day expenses while avoiding those negatives associated with cashing out
I can't see it ever taking off until they start getting legal places online into it.
Certain crypto being the gold/platinum standard of crypto that's almost impossible for anyone except people who has a small cities worth of processing power to make.
Smaller forms of crypto that are made for certain purchases from certain larger places and people.
Far less intensive to create and is the day to day crypt that takes a bit of effort to make but can be done and is used by common folk.
Different forms of crypto for different purchases.
Large more complex and intensive to create crypto are sold off to buy lesser cryptos and services that are then used for other goods.
IMHO, the key is in seling shwag for crypto. Making it DA FUTURE and creating a solid infrastructure based around a certain very vocal group that wants to be a part of something big and will buy a lot of things virtualy.
Maybe start with apps, gaming, porn, clothes, and cheaply made crap from china.
Where do white men work these days?
I hate women and minorities.
>MFW people are so weak and insecure they ask /fit what jobs they approve of.
Orthopedic surgeon
Firefighter
Police officer
Physical therapist
Investment banker?
>mfw you’re not working in law, consulting, medicine, or finance
Literally never going to make it
